MSPaint skins
 
my first (semi attempt) skin was in mspaint. i have to say, it takes a lot of skill to make one look right ( because mine looked retarded). so, right now i am making a skin totally in mspaint, and with a calculator for the gradients. im being as hardcore as i can be, so, i have a question. does anybody else want to make one totally in mspaint? i know there are some out there, but a new one. maybe a bunch of people did it, we could have a contest or something.(no skinners, no transparency tracers, all with mspaint) so if anyone is interested post. after i am done with mine i am going to use photoshop, but i will finish it in paint. so, anybody want to do one?

omarello 11th December 2001 04:10

man you seem like you got lots of time on your hand...

i would do it if i had time, but i have exams right now, would you wait untill is finish or maybe after the holidays.

what kind of skin do yuo want to do, whats the theme..??

stttafffy 11th December 2001 05:11

i got exams to. jeez they suck. well, i guess make it out of anything you want to. no theme, just pure mspaint :) this is going to kill me, i know, and i am not going to have computer access over the holidays ( parents = luddites) so i wont be working on mine either. actually, i havnt really got far. i have choppy two color eq bars so far... ;) keep in touch. ill write your handle down on my desk. post back and see what you think. and i *shouldnt* have time on my hands, but i am a lazy bum. and i have no job (not for long) and i have to switch majors because i failed lots of stuff. i am a disgrace. at least i dont use skinner proggies though ;);):p i dont mean it, all you skin diarrhea-ers, but, at least try a paint skin! there fun, and rewarding... jeez i think this is funny, that is natures wa of saying 'go to sleep' so i will, bye~

stttafffy 12th December 2001 01:10

i never bump posts, but, i want to know if anyone wants to do this, otherwise, ill give in and use photoshop...

omarello 12th December 2001 03:50

yo. i told you i would, but after the holidays.

i will be back in town on the 8th of JAn. from the 22nd of dec till the 8th i wont use the internet i guess, and if i do, i will only check my email cause i really dont have much time with christmas and new year and all this you know. but i am up for it.

garetjax 12th December 2001 04:49

not to burst your bubble or anything...however,

heh

here is a skin done totally in mspaint circa 1996
Ice Fusion 1996

stttafffy 12th December 2001 05:13

i know there are mspaint skins, but i wanted to know if there were any people that mainly use photoshop or psp that want to make a mspaint one just for fun. i think mine will be beter that the ice fusion one, too. not to burst your bubble ( its o joke no offense. too bad the internet doesnt carry voice inflection):p

garetjax 12th December 2001 06:22

quite understood and no offense taking. Hell back then winamp was used by a very small audience and the main eq pl were about all there were. But, even so I thought I did pretty good not knowing anything about winamp or how to skin. :)

:winamp:

My Latest...heh (Screenshot)Look Here

PeaceMaker 12th December 2001 06:46

and yeah, "you got your name printed all over it!".

garetjax 12th December 2001 06:57

well, at the time there were only a couple 'Fusion' based amps. I felt mine was an original for the most part. However, there was alot of rampant ripping and I just made it for me. I released it on lh.winamp.net or whatever it was not knowing my first skin ever would get the downloads Ice Fusion did. Hell, to me it looked way cartoonish and I still believe all my skins smell of that flavor. The only skin currently that I really love myself that I made JadeTube & AquaTube. They are my personal favorites, after 254 Skins Only 2 of my own do I even keep using...so that perhaps, should tell ya something. I actually prefer Titanium Sky by The Only Lynx. A very smooth and enticing skin. It seems to define what we as skinners seem to forget. That alot doesn't necessarily mean better...

binary hero 12th December 2001 11:14

I don't believe that that fusion one was made in MSpaint at all.

skinme! 12th December 2001 18:44

Garet, nice new skin. It's nice and schmoooooth. And blue.

Binary Hero, have you ever heard of Raydream, because the last link in your signature goes to his site (http://www.skins.naoneo.com)? :D

stttafffy 12th December 2001 19:49

heres the screenshot of mine, it doesnt have gradients or shading or detail, only mapped out areas, but what should i change/keep/improve/get rid of to make it better. and those crazy buttons are from my template amp, use you r imagination, like what goes where. keep in mind only in mspaint!

Hey! Don't post .bmps coz Paint Shop Pro is associated with them and it's just easier if you post .jpgs/.gifs/.pngs

macaroon 13th December 2001 15:54

A true MS paint skin. I think you a gluten for punishment but I like the cut of your jib. :D

Look forward to seeing the finished item.
I take it's a WA 2.XX skin?

stttafffy 13th December 2001 20:00

yea, 2.x. ill post a .jpg next time, but i was posting that going 37 hours without sleep, and putting it through photoshop seemed too hard at the time. and the .jpg - hey i thought i did do a jpg, guess not, well, im gonna do some more, now, so ill post an update like in 2 days or so. omarello, yeah, i actually started before i started this thread, but it wont be done for a WHILE, so you said you'll start over winter break, so thats good, because i wont have computer access after monday, until break is over. so, youll catch up. looking forward to it!

omarello 13th December 2001 21:05

well, thats great! you gotta get to know the guts and stuff, but once you do, i wouldnt even think about using a skinner, they are so limiting. anyway, heres an update, tell me if the shufrep is confusing, and what doesnt really fit in. keep in mind im just laying it out, not putting effects in or stuff like that till its all laid out.

omarello 14th December 2001 13:38

i think you should change the red and green colors, i fell that they don't fit into the skin.
and the shuf rep is very confusing, try to decrease the background color of the text, if you get what i mean!! i mean the shadow of the shuff rep tihng.

stttafffy 14th December 2001 16:09

hehe the red and green bits are from my template amp that i am going over. yeah, ill changeup the sufrep a lil, see if i can make it less confusing. thanks!

stttafffy 15th December 2001 03:31

heres another update, (like anyone cares. hehehe) well, i messed around a little with the shufrep and monoster, also the eq got tweaked a little, like in the EQ PL buttons. what doesnt look like it belongs, what should i change, same deal as before, i guess.

omarello 15th December 2001 17:17

omarello 15th December 2001 20:17

Omnitarian 16th December 2001 02:47

Waaaaaiiiiittt just a corn pickin Minute...

You mixed MSPaint and Drunkitude and you got that?

I dream of that when I'm using Paint Shop Pro and completely sober. Heheh.

stttafffy 16th December 2001 03:19

naw, i did, geez, i qm stiil drunk...;...

stttafffy 19th December 2001 03:25

im sober now, and bored, i think the main window looks pretty kickass, but thats just me. the rest of the skin is going to get the same treatment, and the volume bar is gonna be awesome too, kind of copying one that i saw somewhere where the areas brighten up as you turn it up, but i cut off most of the buttons on the bottom of the volume bmp, so it is just a 2 px wide strip moving along the top, if anyone want to test it for me :D then ill send it. remember it iss an mspaint skin > see 'vers msp 1.0' in the top left/main? well im gonna do a psp7 and an adobe photoshop one, both programs somehow ended up on my computer today, hey, i think i have amnesia who put morpheus on my computer? well at least i got a lot of viruses for being a pie rat :) oh, nm, what the real def of a software pirate, the one who cracks it and distributes it or the person that finds it on thier computer randomly? who cares i dragged this stupid joke for long enough, ill let it die now. please check it out and tell me what you think :)

stttafffy 19th December 2001 03:36

yeah, sober, but still stupid. forgot the attatchment, which was the whole point.

Forevever 19th December 2001 22:26

Staffy - thats a mighty impressive skin you got brewing there - make me tempted to do my own in MSP.... I'd probably be lost .. I'm not even sure I installed MSPaint...

stttafffy 19th December 2001 23:32
