Random Thoughts...

Have you seen this: http://cyberap.net/styles/metro ? It definitely has some nice qualities to it that you might want to consider adopting to your theme.

I've seen it and dozens like it....

Black, lot and lots of white, and some blue icons..... meh.... same thing as always, nothing really original, different name.

You want one like that? Give me 10 minutes. (or search the downloads in the resources)

lol That one kid modified both my vB4 and Broganbot skin, then re-released them so you might as well call that Open Source too.

It's not supposed to be though. He also did it to the chocolate skin and re-released it as a style called Western but I think someone else caught on to it.

What?! Where?

 

[Adam Howard]

What?! Where?

Never mind... Found it

That's a clear rip. Hell, I'd go as far and say that it was an exact match, except for 2 or 3 things.

I have an addon I am well into, that I am considering making open to a pool of developers and designers to WORK AS A TEAM and possibly making what I have now (which I am very proud of) something ridiculously spectacular....I just don't know if there is enough people with enough will and enough time...which is also a big part of why it would have to be open to ever get released...I don't have enough time to support it as it is not quite simple.

I find that lately no matter where I look there is never enough...

Open Source is your friend in the aspect. You should release it here on XenForo and emphasize that it's an open project. From there I'm sure people will help or build off of it.

I really invision this would have to be done in tandem with people brainstorming and such...

it is integral to the ideal behind my concept...

at least for a full first stable public release...

I love my open source...but this I have to be part of if you know what I mean...I don't care so much about which seat I'm in...as long as I am along for the ride. It's half of something bigger I am doing and I would feel right with out a proper send off.

Is this something you plan on releasing freely or paid?

If freely.... I maybe interested in helping, but I'd need to know more details.

Off topic.... If anyone can better optimize this without losing the coloring.....

You want it with the white border on the outside?

Should be clear on the outside (please).

I've been playing around with Project Tools tonight and while it is buggy, it's not as bad as the Library, in fact, it's way better in some aspects, depending on how you use it.

 

[DRE]

Okay I hate project tools now. Not able to make it viewable to guests for some reason.

Who's your daddy? I'm your ...... LoL .... I'm feeling silly, don't mind me. ..... All done.

I got so f*cking tired of every skin released being either bright, bright white (off white at best) or very dark, dark black (gray at best).

It was time for a change.

This skin will be released here on XenForo. It will also be the first skin I know of released as Open Source

I agree with this. There's really not a whole lot of variation in the skin department. (although Whisper is different and also my favorite so far)

The search bar seems to look somewhat wrong to me on that screenshot. Otherwise looks nice.

LOL That's how I feel about blue skins.... white, black and blue are the "safe" colours I'd like to see something vibrant.

That reminds me, I released a very basic pink style a long time ago.

 

[Vicky]

I've long since stop caring and stop trying to hide them long time ago.

My view point is thus...

I'm me. Love me, like me, hate me, despise me, it matters not. I'm going to be me. Make peace with it. It's going to happen.

I hear you and I am the same.

I know what I offer and I know I'm awesome and yeah that sounds conceited but you know I have stopped caring what people think of me.

If they let me slip out of their fingers their loss.

Here is another white skin for you. However, I have built in a "power" button that, when pressed, would switch the color scheme to a more eye friendly color for low light situations.

I maybe up for a challenge ..... What did you have in mind?
