. i will do:

Yeah! Perfect! Thank you very much egolatra.

I would like to join the group for wallpapers and music! I really look forward to see this project growing with this great community.

If somebody is up for collecting experience with Vista that would be great! I asked Pepijn already. Maybe he and some others would give Vista a try.

i just want to add something to the windows section:

cursors
miranda skins
firefox skin

I want to help organize, since i dont have graphical skills

considering doing a vs.. i'll let you know for sure within a couple days

how about some avi's ?

avi's.. for file transfer animation?

some wav or midi (ex.login music)

yes thomas. copying files, deleting etc etc.

holy crap this is gonna be awesome. :)

sounds great.. i could do miranda (clist modern, IEView, clist_nicer and Styler Toolbar)

what is custom hacks?

contact me if you need me :D
i could try hacks (i think windows .dll's is what you think of?), styler, samurize, screenshots (for previews?), maybe photo, foobar (trackinfo_mod, scpl, not panelsui), maybe some gehrunnerjunge skins could be done, too?

i'm looking forward to that.

i'm up for litestep and colorpad :)

so essentially with the custom hacks and icons, could we make an installer or self extractor? so that people could just install it if they didn't (for some reason) know how to use replacer?

dustkt: people have different .dll's dude.

so how would we do the custom hacks?

just give them the dialogs and bitmaps to replace?

i was also wondering how we're gonna do the custom hack thing

hey there,
i could help making a winamp skin and a colorpad skin aswell...

I'm in for a vs and Foobar for sure maybe some icons

I'd love to help with the CSS for the site.

i'll make the samurize config for sure, put me down

i can do a 3dcc pack and i'm thinking about doing a wall or two...

mobilephone-themes would be cool ;)

I'd like to do a blackbox style, but bright themes aren't really my forte.

wallpaper and maybe some music ...

OK, thank you all.

For those who are wondering about the custom hacks i'm talkin about something like this:

I would like to do a wallpaper if possible :)
And i can help with mocks and colors and fleshing ideas out but im not so handy in the actual skinning part.

this really sounds like its coming together, should organizers get in the #customize irc to plan?

Put Aero on the list for the Litestep, please!

i will be more than happy to do some wallpapers. unless no one wants any more than i'll steer clear :)

we should get FF to do something with the winamp skin at least...

i agree with noovo, a mobile theme (for SE) would be awesome!

I will do the xhtml for the site, since Imrik, Motorist and swayso have more graphical skills and they are doing the css.

I am good with xhtml/html

@eragonian - i don't believe that this will be\should be put on a separate site from custo as this is a customize.org suite. i do believe that imrik, motorist and swayso are up there for music and not for css. is there anything else productive you could contribute to the suite?

OK thanks Ego, you didn't put me in there. >_< I could do: cursors, colorpad skins, 3dcc, shellwm, bbstyle(blackbox) themes, firefox themes, and litestep themes.

But how exactly does this work? I mean do we come up with concepts on our own? Or will there be some thing to go by?

There is a lot of people helping out on this. What is the concept appearance going to be? Do you have anything yet?

what do you mean by pinups?

@Fenris: I may be able to do the promotions side of things

ah thats what ou mean with custom hacks. hoestly, i'm not that experienced with this kind of hacks, but i may try. just don't expect big things :D

@Thomax

Promoting images :)

@Pyro & Frankenstein
Marius & lamp are almost done with the CSS, so they will talk sooner with Flyke to do the final details. We will use the color palette in the css for the suite.

About the mobile themes, i will add it when some one volunteer to make one

what about a samegame skin? and maybe someone could make a short video or something and post it on youtube and different video sites

okay ego.. i'll do some sony ericsson themes.. ;)

make sure the themes can be used on W610i ;).. maybe the guys who makes wallpapers can make them in a really small resolution, so we can use the wallpapers on our cells together with the themes

i have a question though, wouldn't the whole community be contributing screens?

I am liking this idea alot =) I want to join in!

I can do a samegame skin! And maybe a wallpaper pack or two . . . except that there appear to be too many people already. And who knows, maybe release a VS of some kind (again, unless there are too many people already)? Am I permitted to attempt these things?

Oh, and a bootscreen too! Are there any concept ideas on what this is going to look like?

@ Thinker
everyone is open & free to do whatever they want to contribute. :D No matter if there are 300 wallpapers :)

We are still waiting for the base concept.

....No one wants to get me involved...

don't be so emo man, just it's that we don't need an external site. You can do screenshots or anyother stuff.

those that are doing the screenshots, what are they supposed to do? just wait for all the skinned apps to come, take a shot and post it here?

Great! Who's doing the base concept?

"eragonian....No one wants to get me involved..."

i was surprised myself, since you're an expert in photoshop there must be something you can do.

ego - great work getting this going! GAIA is gonna be wicked :)

Thinker - Imrik is doing the base concept

i'd like to be involved a little; i'd love to post an advertising screenie. :)

@ qslig, OMFGLOLOL

relik, thats actually a good idea, since you have a smaller resolution than most of us (NOT PICKING ON YOU) it would be the ideal preview space in my opinion.

I'd love to be a part of this.
I'm no skinner however. What I would like to do is anything typographic or photography based.

Is there any use for me in this project?

sure meemo, typographic like doing fonts? that would be great. I added you to the Art (wich includes photos). Relik was added to the pin up section.

Lamp :-D

those that are doing the screenshots, what are they supposed to do? just wait for all the skinned apps to come, take a shot and post it here?

I'd love to see a windows mobile theme :D

i suppose i could work on a new typeface only for this project, that would most likely take a little while though :D

when is this project supposed to be done?

other than that once we get to see a first "visual" for the idea of this theme (colour options and what kind of style overall: illustrative, vectorized, modern, postmodern, contemporary) i ll get right on to the job of finding and/or creating a font for this suite, what do you think of that? any idea on when first "visual concepts" are gonna be ready?

all the best.

@dustkt: size doesn't matter! lol. ;P

actually, assuming the suite won't be done for several weeks, i should have my new video card and everything by then so i'd definitely be able to get a much higher resolution; but if you want me to post a screen with my current resolution, i'd be happy to. :)

:-D

my to do list:
icons
wallpaper
promoting images
mobile theme for nokia cellphones

i could do screenshots, if i knew what it is ( i know what it is, but not in this project)

I can do some gehrunnerjunge skins / configs and some pinups. Not much I can do more...

Maybe you could ask FF or raoul to make some winamp skins too.

yep FF & blueslaad makin winamp skins would be sweet

I could do gtk themes and fluxbox :)

i knew that you will join us Kath

Ego, I think you should edit the post to include space in between each item. Like press enter after each item. It'd be easier to read then. ;)

yeah... i just think that in this way, it's terrible large... and with spaces it will be the double, but i'll try... just let me know if it isn't too large.

Nope that is fantastic. Thank you. ;D

wow. i really need to take a break from work and come here more often. this idea has got such a great response :) what would the responsibility of the WBskinner be. if its just porting the visual styles to WB and ironing out the kinks, you could sign me up for that as i probably wouldn't have enough time to do a complete WB skin on my own.

both options (porting or create) are ok Cody :)
Well, you are in now

Oh, I will definetly port the style to (some weirdly designed) Litestep ;)

Oh, and 3Dcc too ;) for sure.

maybe some icons.

eh, throw me down for 3dcc, i have a nice idea.

I probably could do beryl and xfwm too if nobody want to do it.

I wanna do some advertising and promotion

There is a lot of people helping out on this

great suit is coming,woot

Would be nice to use only two colors green & blue.
Or divide it on four elements: earth, wind, fire and water

and that division, how would be implemented?

I think I will just sit here and see what thwe others are doing until enjoying what you have produced

so i erase you from pinups section?

Man, seriously, stop being such an emo... i'm really getting tired of your whining

Icon for work in progress ... comments please ...

hell as long as we're 'signing up' for screenshots, throw me down on that section as well. not sure how that'd work, maybe as a preview?

in either sense, we ought to get pep involved in that section as well, for obvious reasons.

yeah, throw me down on the screenshot section, if it's for preview purposes...

Since I am in the VS section, I will send it to all that are interested so that they can preview it in there shots and I can get criticisms and comments. While I am working on several ideas for the VS I still need the suite base concept shot sent to me when it is done. I will be patient until then and just work on other ideas.

@ motorist
I like the four elements idea and the WIP icon.

i something throw in ps, don't know what will be, have fun :P

(how to show the pic directly?)

I like it.

go to http://customize.org/photos and host it there
then copy paste the adress here :)

swayso, i like the concept, but not the way the letters are aligned....

thanks vsm

http://customize.org/groups/topic/12945

don't know if it is insolent of me, but I created a WIP topic. just to keep it clean...

i just thought... maybe you guys could ask technici to do the gui kit?

How to upload a music, sounds and stuff?!
And what format wav or mp3 or ... ?

meemo - we'll announce a timeline shortly, right now we are getting everything in order (including the initial template)

motorist - I'll have to upload audio files to the server myself

@duskt close to beginning of topic: there could be a bunch of tuts like winT's site

@lamplighter: Send it to your e-mail ... that's what you're saying?

It would be nice with a MSN Messenger skin also... If there's someone who knows how... =)
