D-Lyrium Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Those buttons look much better than the previous version. Great idea. Hehe. But no, seriously, they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayW Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 I originally wanted to have this finished yesterday; but I am now looking at a realistic release date of the end of this week. As always, real life always gets in the way of the fun things. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayW Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 <p>Thinking on it, as I can't change the colour of the text that Adam hardcodes, it'd probably be easier to just do a second skin project after I finish this. Maybe a sky blue colour scheme?</p><p> </p><p> Anyway, that's getting ahead of ourselves...

FINisher Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Looks so good that I might not even start a skin of my own. :3 Just get it done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayW Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 As off this minute I am roughly 25% of the way done with this. I really am hoping to push through and have this out by Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayW Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Just a quick update on this. I have done all 56 buttons, all images inside the "graphics" folder that need changing to suit this skin, and 45 of the 126 background images. The background images differ in speed of completion depending on what I actually need to do within the image, and I'm working on them in alphabetical order, so yeah... I'm hoping this will be complete by tomorrow afternoon, if not then perhaps it'll be done late tomorrow evening (UK time). I said it'd be done by Friday, and by golly, it will be! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said Friday, and I don't want to let people down. The good news is that I have now completed 69 of the 126 backgrounds. Going to take a short break, and actually play the game for an hour or so, and then I'll get back to it. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayW Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Well, it's Friday... And as promised, the skin is ready for download! The link is in the original post. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I am really proud of this skin, and I hope you like it. I most likely am going to start work on a lighter skin next, for those that find the contrast on this skin a bit too much. In the mean time, enjoy!

Pampero Firpo Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks for your work on this -- I'm interested in giving it a try. Unfortunately, when I click the link I get a "server not found error". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pampero Firpo Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Working now -- thanks for doing this. While I'm in the minority, I have to say I didn't mind the default skin. However, I do like this one quite a bit and will continue to use. Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayW Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 <p>I actually like the default skin, myself, too. I'm finding it weird using the one I have created as I have become acustomed to the default.</p><p> </p><p> However, I am a graphics nerd, and any excuse to open up Photoshop is a good excuse to me. Hence the skin (and any other skins I do). <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
