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.

Resent the file from my Yahoo mail. When Jim got it, it did not have a file extension. If that is the case for the rest of you, it can be fixed by saving it somewhere and renaming it with the .zip extension, then extract.
Got it, thanks Xiandi!
Mine did not show an attachment.

We need an update to know what is going on folks, some screenshots would be nice too.
I'm going to try and get a countdown gadget done this weekend.
I.D. ... I know you're making/made the Reindeer Countdown Gadget. Any chance you'd make a Hannukah Candle Gadget that would light a new candle each sundown? The first one would light the center (higher) candle and one at the left or right end...then add one flame each night?
I'd be happy to try.
May I make a humble request,if you are going to package them up for Theme Manager,PLEASE also offer the skins individually, since I neither use Theme manager,nor do I use several of the applets listed.
All the skins will be upladed to the individual WC Gallery Libraries, a Theme Manager Suite will be made for those who want to use it.
This is a community project so it's free, unless you want to send money to the skinners. I'm sure that would be all right with them.
On suites, you can always change the extention to "zip" and extract them manually.
I'm going to start a Dream this weekend so if anyone want's to input some ideas on what you would like to see, I'm all ears.
Sorry Jim, the wreath was just not getting it for me.
That is really very nice Island Dog.
Considering folks will probably have this Theme on thier computer through the end of the year, how about a countdown to New Years Eve or New Years?
Oh, how about a countdown for the Twelve days of Christmas and tie it into the song? That would be cool.
Cyndie, got your email that was supposed to have the graphic but when I opened it I can't seem to find an attachment. Can you send me the psds, bmps, and pngs you have? Thanks
I got it, thanks.
