I was trying to offer a different direction so as not to hurt feelings and to start with a fresh idea.

I wonder, I have a great desire to learn to skin sysmetrix or some other app, and wonder how you all would feel about a cross training project where each person could skin something they never skinned with the help of someone experienced in that area.

So, let us say for example, Uvah teaches me sysmetrix and helps me do a skin, meanwhile, someone else skins a blind{ a new skinner} with the aid of someone with experience in skinning wb.

we would all benefit down the road, and learn from each other, and trade some ideas creating new skinning capabilities for all involved.

Just a thought..

Also, I like the eco idea still and have an idea of a somewhat octagonal glass design with light webbing{steel}for a start menu, not sure about frames, hope we do something with more peeps.

Maybe a new thread to post ideas, then submit our own versions of the voted on idea, then vote on a skin to work from , then make a suite together.

@DT1......I may be fairly decent at SMX but there are a few who put me to shame. Two names right off the bat. RnD, who does DX for one. Although not the same as SMX the function is the same. Then there's our Vamps...it is my opinion that Kitty can pretty much right her own ticket as far as artistic ability is concerned. There's also JC whose work I admire and Xiandi who along with Jazzy helped get me started. Point being that 'cross-training' as it were, skinners teaching skinners, has always been a part of WC. That's why we have tutorials and these forums. I see your point though. Bringing people closer together.

Question: The word together....has anyone given a thought to the three words that make it up? To Get Her....just sayin' 

I like the raised lines around the oval center. What are your thoughts behind this?

I could try a different approach, throw some ideas at me if you like.

Could fit in with Biosphere as a blind's start menu..."web of life" concept?

I agree Moshi, just trying to keep a community project going or started or however you want to say it.

That is transparent also and would require life inside maybe.

Uvah, not ignoring that idea, just want more to input and get a better group of interested people.

Hope we can salvage this effort,ID goes out of his way to have these events and promote them, I hope we can do something so as not to sour his efforts in the future.Not saying he would give up on us, but all the same, He stuck his neck out with the post, maybe we can rally a second attempt at a nice project.

I am in for whatever role except leader as I have dial up and could not transfer stuff back and forth to easy on 3kb connection.

Heck, I can make nothing and just check things and be happy, so, hoping for the best here.

Why not pick a gallery at random then whoever builds for it can either volunteer or offer insight for someone who does. That person creates the graphics and you go from there.

WOW! what is that Uvah? 

Always wanted to do a circus skin and I started this last year. I made frames and some buttons and moved on. It was to be called sideshow.

Any interest as a different direction?  Last of my suggestions for a theme, do not want to be greedy.Still up for anything here.

You volunteering to manage the effort?

I like the blind and could work with it. Is bleumart interested?

that's cool teddy... it really is quite a versatile blind...

no idea... just formulated the idea and seeing if there is any interest, then we can ask... no good getting too ahead as it seems like interest in this thread has just really dropped off unfortunately.....

well.. I don't know about being much of a manager... but would certainly be around prodding/prompting/suggesting/supporting/screenshotting.....

and let's not forget.... cheerleading...         

but really... it should be fairly simple... the blind is there... if bleumart makes available his graphics by dropbox or whatever suits everyone... skinners can just take it from there and post their progress if they wish to and upload with permission if given by bluemart.... should be pretty straight forward... just do a list of contributors as we always do... and hope to get a few more interested along the way....

could be a bit of a mentoring exercise as well... anyone wishing to crossover train/learn a new application could work alongside an experienced skinner in that field..

From whatever start-menu is made, I will base my wallpaper.  

I will then, conceptually at least, have a better-than-fantastic grasp of the project. I do consistently check this thread, for updates, to see what's going on and, where need be, will give input.

Keep it goin'.

still just an idea doortech... and always room for another skinner...no need to be bummed...  do you skin any other applications?... wanna learn?

this was just an 'interim' idea to get something going for people who were poised....  and shortcut the lengthy process a bit...

don't know as yet if bleumart would be interested... just testing the waters...  seems Jim and teddy and Uvah and Matchbook are on board... how 'bout you?

you seem to know bleumart/Denis... what say you point him in this direction and see if he's interested?...
