WxRobbie Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 When FINisher first released his Skin Starter Pack, I began attempting to make my own, but was never happy with the first few skins. But recently, I've started work on one and am happy with the way its coming along. It's nothing groundbreakingly fantastic, but I'm proud of it and want to release it to everyone. I'll update the list of files that I have done below my first screenshots. With this initial post I'll give you guys the Title Screen and the Control Room! Let me know what you think. Also, I'm going to try to avoid posting the pack on my website so I don't incur any unexpected bandwidth charges. So where are some good places to upload the finished product for download? http://www.clabobby.com/tewskin/title_screen.jpg http://www.clabobby.com/tewskin/control_room.jpg http://www.clabobby.com/tewskin/immortals.jpg Official Release! Clabobby's Blue Warped Skin V1.0 The time has come! I think everything is in order and ready to be released. I ask that anyone who downloads and uses this skin to help me with any errors, aesthetic issues etc. If something is mis-spelled or if something just doesn't look right and you could suggest a way to make it better, reply and let me know! Now without further ado: Clabobby's Blue Warped Skin The file is in a ZIP file so all you should have to do is unzip it and then paste the unzipped folder into your TEW Skins directory! Thanks for the support and interest in this! File Updates: Any of the files below were fixes to V1.0. You can simply download these files and copy them into the skin's folder to overwrite the old file. I'll release V1.1 in the next week.

WxRobbie Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Update: I have updated my list and am now standing at 25/144 files done. Does anyone have any comments on the design? Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucleardonkey Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I really dig it. I'll definitely be using it once you put it up. Do you plan on having the letter grades and numbers together or separate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clp605 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Personally I would like to see a white border around the company logo on the control room. But that's just my 2 cents....err one cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxRobbie Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 I'm planning on using the pre-existing number/letter combo graphics. I still have a few things to tweak though, so things might change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxRobbie Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 <p>Thanks Hive I appreciate it. I wanted to drop it right now and give a small update. I've run into a minor roadblock as I try to figure out how to deal with the buttons that are displayed on a page background, but also have a button in the Buttons folder. I have to figure out a way to take care of that. That's where we stand right now.</p><p> </p><p> Robbie</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxRobbie Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 <p>I made some more progress on this thing tonight. I'm up to 49/144 completed. With that in mind, I also would like to try and do something with the graphics portion of the skin too, so we'll see what happens then. Keep the comments coming guys!</p><p> </p><p> Robbie</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxRobbie Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 I tried making a transparent image to use as the active button, but it didn't work out. I think I've finally got a way to deal with the buttons though. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxRobbie Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 <p>Did quite a lot of work today and got the count up to 73 of the 144 files edited. I found a way to get around the clickable/unclickable buttons problem I was running into. What is going to happen with my skin is that buttons that are inactive or can't be clicked won't appear at all. I hope it will work out as a design.</p><p> </p><p> I am planning to release the background's portion first and then update the pack to version 1.2 with an updated graphics pack as well to include the grades and everything that look the best with the skin.</p><p> </p><p> More work on this thing tomorrow night.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haloed Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Once these are done I'm thinking these are going to be my new skins for TEW. Great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After getting the backgrounds done, it'll be a matter of going in and editing all of the buttons to my liking. In all honesty, that shouldn't take too long. I might do some of those tonight before I leave for the midnight showing of The Hangover Part II.</p><p> </p><p> Robbie</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattywood Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I have to echo the sentiments of haloed and say I may just use this as my skin for one of my databases. Like using a different skin depending on the database. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Can't wait to download your finished work. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud1305 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 <p>This is looking good.</p><p> I like the font that you have used. Will definitely be taking a look once its finished.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxRobbie Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 <p>Nothing to update screens-wise today, but I did get a lot done. I went through and re-did all of the buttons located in the Buttons folder. When this thing gets released, the buttons might look a little wacky as they change text size. I thought it might look kind of nifty to do it that way. We'll see.</p><p> </p><p> My next order of business: I'm going to need EVERYONE'S help when I release this thing. If you find something that isn't right, doesn't mesh or anything like that please let me know so I can get it fixed and make this skin as good as I can.</p><p> </p><p> I won't be back on until Saturday night. I work 6 - 4 tomorrow and then head off to a local race track to work the pits tomorrow night. Then another 6-4 on Saturday. So expect some more updates that night!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxRobbie Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Back for an update! I've got 119 of the 144 backgrounds done. I expect to have it all done by Tuesday night. Thanks to you guys for showing interest in this thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emark Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 The only issue I've seen so far is in 'Your Promotion' screen you have business mispelled on the button. It looks really good and I look forward to seeing the finished product. -Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clp605 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/xx132/clp605/SkinIssue.png Having just downloaded the skin, BTW looks nice and clean, I did come across a issue. On the screenshot I took the "Current Reputation Level is..." cut off and covered by the level. Also, the "Short Name" is also cut off a bit. That is all I found so far. (BTW: Yes I did find that quickly ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxRobbie Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks for the find. Here's the link to the updated background image. Just download it, then paste it into the Backgrounds folder of the skin to overwrite the old one! http://www.mediafire.com/?riu6rl4v8kh1mwa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
