I have been wanting to help organize a new community theme project for quite a while. With the holidays rapidly approaching, and the fact that Christmas is one of the most popular skinning holidays, I would like to propose a community project around that.
What do you say?
My idea, subject to further input from the community.
Christmas/Winter Holiday Theme Pack
This would include at the minimum:
At the end this would all be wrapped up in a Theme Manager suite.
My thought is a minimal-type theme that will appeal to a broad range of people, yet have a big influence of holiday colors or design.
What we need?
I need a Project Manager who will help coordinate skinners and their activities.
We also need ideas for a unique name plus design ideas.
September 28th Update:
Here is the current list of people who have signed up to participate. Aside from the WindowBlinds theme as we want to keep it consistent, several people can create themes of the same type as long as they stay within the theme.

The WinChristmasize Suite.
A Skinners Holiday.
Seasons Skinnings.
My favorite.....
Add enough skins such as a Rainy, widgets,sysmetrics,Xion,etc to make it "The Twelve Skins of Christmas".
partridge in a pear tree optional
I would love to do a DX Theme and maybe gadgets!!
"The Twelve Skins of Christmas"
I like that name because it has lots of possiblilties.
Can't skin anything so I'll volunteer to do the Theme Manager Suite, if that's okay.
Hey...what about Hannukah? Forgotten some folks have we?
So Doc, what is your idea for a name and desgin?
It can't be considered unless it's suggested?
I started a Christmas blind last year but never released it. It just seemed a bit "red"
I'm always happy to join in on a project with Tim & Jim.
As much as I'd like to, I'm unable to commit to a new project. My wife is 8 months pregnant and I just know I'll be pretty busy the next coming months. I barely have the time to finish off the 2 skinning projects I'm working on now.
Hannumas/Chrisnukah?
DreidelTree/Chrisnorah? My fave is underlined.
My Dad was Protestant and my Mom Jewish...so I always went 50/50 [actually 100/100 heh heh] on the holidays...man! It was great!
I'll take that offer HANDS DOWN from the fantastic skinner you're very rapidly becoming, Karen. I also favor the Talk Like a Pirate Day Theme. Me and a coule of buddies would have a field day!
Mazel Tov!!! (Congratz + Good Luck!)
If it's your first, you'll really be busy. If it's your third...you kinda know what to expect. Either way, Congrats, it's the best time of your life.
Thanks guys It's my second. Another girl, so I imagine I'm gonna be in deep sh*t in about 10 years (or less)
Sorry for the thread hijack, ID
Yule
Noel
Frost
Anijo Inuit for 'snow on the ground'
Drifa Old Norse for 'snow flurry'
Eiriol Welsh for 'snow drop'
congratulations 2of3....
when you blew out the candles on your 17th birthday cake..and made that wish to be surrounded by beautiful girls who love you?...well...it's all coming true....
Just wait til she hits 16...you're back in it again!
It doesn't have to be Christmas specific, Winter holiday themed or something like that.
I'm cool with Xiandi leading the WB skin. We have RND for the DX Theme. CarGuy1 for Dreams. Philly for the TM suite. I will take care of one of the DX gadgets.
This is sounding great!
Cool! Didn't know you were a DXer!!! I knew there was something I liked about you!!
I'll just do the theme and widgets, as usual, then. I have a new graphics program I'm eager to try, so I may do some docks, just as extras, in case someone else wants the docks?
Looks like I'll be doing winter snow dreams.
Okay, this needs a BUMP so we can keep this project alive.
Any more volunteers? Any ideas on what the design should be?
oops
Are you kidding? ID's got the holiday thing down pat.
No time to commit to this project, but good luck to all who are involved. It's gonna be awesome.
I love Christmas skins. Unfortunately most of them are red or red with white, red with green etc. I would like to see a simple gold with silver Christmas skin Last Last year my Christmas decorations were gold and silver and they did looked fantastic. Oh I could almost see a windowblind like that, and maybe with some shining stars animation in the start menu. Just an idea
