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.

perhaps a gold and silver Christmas tree like the snowflake..a few sparkles........with presents appearing around the bottom...would be a pretty simple animation I would think....just an idea... I like the spinning snowflake one too....so many things you could do...I'm sure you'll come up with a lovely one xiandi....
Just a little B U M P to get an update.
Vista is done.
I'm going to make the XP substyle in the next couple days....almost everything for XP is in there already, but I need to make a substyle and put in a new start panel, then it's on to the 7 substyle. It wont be too much longer now, then I can send it to everyone to test and pick apart.
I will need the emails of the team members to send the blind.... PM me your emails please.
Really?
Well, not yours...
For the few who care, I'm almost done with the Vista version of Hanukkah/Solstice/multicultural December holiday windowblind. I know Island Dog didn't include me in the group, but I'm doing this for the community for the December holiday for the "forgotten"...those who don't celebrate Christmas, but work your shift so you can be at home with your family. I would have volunteered right away, if the original post would have been more clear that it was the "winter holidays" not just Christmas.Anyway, this is what I have so far:
I like it, Karen!!
Whoah nelly thats a tall start menu !
Its not really the res sweetie, its the 15 icons in the progs menu.. wouldnt be any smaller on any size res. U just happen to prefer a lot more icons is all
Prefer? No...I just need to change the setting. It just never occurred to me to do that. (getting old sux---I just KNOW one of these days I'm going to be that nutty looking Wal-Mart shopper with the messed up gray hair and the funky drawn on mouth with lipstick going all over the place, and my shirt inside out).
Just make sure u at least have a shirt... on
That looks great k10w3
DEVJIT, Skyzyk and Fuzzy...I still need your email addresses.
Just a thought.... I don't see any media players(read:Xion) on your list
The blind is done!
ID, Carguy, Mirsguy and BK, you all have mail.
Jim and Jimbo, I will catch you on IM.
Chaosmoth, I know where you live....
Devjit, Skyzyk, and Fuzzy, I still need you emails...either put them in a PM or email me at xiandilee(at)yahoo(dot)com
Philly, do you want the blind now or will you get what you need when we upload it all? I'll need your email addy too if you want it now.
Karen: I love it....and v isn't gonna download it anyway LOL
You done good. BTW...the height of th start menu does depend on the number of programs in the left panel. It's also tall because .... making it that well was a tall order.
Xiandi, I normally gather all the skins once they are uploaded and make the suite.
As ohters have said all along you have done a wonderful job with this community project.
Got it Cyndie, looks really cool! ...............Karen, when You're ready, if You still got My email.........
Ditto, Karen!!
Great job! If you have any graphics resource, send them over to me as well.
Don't send anything to me......I'll just loose it
Looks great, all of it!
Cyndie, do you have any psd's to share?
I am so forgetful...lol
Check your mail guys!
