well, ive been doing a lot of just coding lately, and had started to feel like i hadnt been putting much creativity into shit, and now finals are over, so i sat down in photoshop and came up with something im pretty pleased with. i WILL not code this one...

and incase the image is broke, i attatched it too

hammerhead · 1st February 2003, 20:43

Nice

CodeitCodeitCodeit

iPlayTheSpoons · 1st February 2003, 20:45

i didnt say it wouldnt be coded, theres just no way im doin it

hammerhead · 1st February 2003, 20:48

You need to add this to your sig.

thepyr0x · 1st February 2003, 20:53

yes
very nice
from the looks of it it will respond very well to color controls too

Black.Ops · 1st February 2003, 21:04

Its a awsome skin..the only thing i dont like is the colour..

whatsitsname · 1st February 2003, 22:28

if you dont like the color theres always colorthemes

anyway i think it look cooooooool

Roberto Cuellar · 2nd February 2003, 02:54

i'm really liking this skin, why dont' you wanna be the coder, as rpc said once "coding is half the fun".

thepyr0x · 2nd February 2003, 03:03

I'm curious too why you don't want to code
that project seems relatively easy....like the only coding you'd actually need is the drawer and the rest is just xml

RLF · 2nd February 2003, 07:19

Half the fun and all the torture. Its the same sort of fun as being raked over hot coals.

mc^^^^ · 2nd February 2003, 08:41

there is some fun in coding... but the only reason i learnt it is so when i do corperate work i dont have to pay someone to code my gfx, all your moneh are belong to me!

seriously, i like this skin... a little more work on the gfx and itl be heaps better!

iPlayTheSpoons · 2nd February 2003, 10:57

as i do more with this design, the more i see possibilities (is that a word? its so late...) for cool features and stuff, which means i probably will end up coding it now...but who knows.

new screen; drawers closed, and one of at least 3 LCD layouts that will be selectable from the new drawer:

hammerhead · 2nd February 2003, 11:15

Name it 'Techenify 2'

-=RoNtZ=- · 2nd February 2003, 21:43

sweetie!

and u can easyly see iplaythespoons's style

... hm... why don't u wanna code it? doesn't look that complicated to me... and long not as difficult as ashere, i'd say... perhaps u could let somebody else code it?i just don't want a skin with great potential not done...c'mon.. think about it

eh?one · 3rd February 2003, 19:04

yes! code it! code it!
/me wants it pasted on his desktop
make sure it has color themes though, cause i'm not too fond of that purple

iPlayTheSpoons · 3rd February 2003, 21:39

thats it, screw you all

im coding it...

and i need a name

eh?one · 3rd February 2003, 21:55

hmm... a name. how about "sector4" or change it to green and make it "limeMIME"

Black.Ops · 4th February 2003, 04:15

LimeMIME???come on...i like invection better

iPlayTheSpoons · 4th February 2003, 05:11

sounds a little too much like invicta, which im currently using...hehe

dam · 4th February 2003, 05:16

I got a few name suggestions : Enari, Napiloth, Ensila, Aleeine, Rycidal.

iPlayTheSpoons · 4th February 2003, 22:24

Rycidal it is

killerwibble · 10th February 2003, 01:27

Sounds like something you'd take instead of prozac. Hehe

eh?one · 10th February 2003, 04:13

heh heh... yeah, it's a pretty stupid name, i know. but at least it's original.

whatsitsname · 10th February 2003, 04:39

i think it sounds like something really poisonous

StriplingRz · 10th February 2003, 04:42

Very nice skin. You played with a stick mode yet? Nice approach with the vertical buttons. Can't wait to see more.

iPlayTheSpoons · 14th February 2003, 04:36

new name : Manta

attatched stick layout

feedback??

kingo'mountain · 14th February 2003, 06:27

have you heard of the path tool, coz i noticed that you filled a selection with a tool and used a softener on the edges

(us israelis like to do things in the fastest way, so forgive him, and me

)

StriplingRz · 14th February 2003, 13:54

stick mode looks okay. I'd be more excited with a few more details on there. Layout looks fine. Both the stick and the main mode need a bit more "glossy" effect to them. Its kinda dull if you know what I mean. Still looks good for the early going.

killerwibble · 14th February 2003, 14:56

Personally I like the "dull plastic" effect. It's kinda like a dusty plastic. To tell you the truth the stick mode doesn't really do justice to the skin. It's good but not as good as the rest of it. And Manta is a fitting name.

I agree - keep the "dusty plastic". The main has an awsome design..if you can transform that to the stick mode it'll be cool.

RLF · 14th February 2003, 23:52

IMO you should trash that ugly purple color and go for red as the default. red would be an awesome, eye-catching color and would mesh smoothly with the contrasting plastic.

iPlayTheSpoons · 15th February 2003, 08:11

oi, you guys are right...i dont know what i was thinking with that skin....a 10 minute shit i threw together. anyway, heres a much more revised version:

hammerhead · 15th February 2003, 08:19

Nice

J_Bloggs · 15th February 2003, 09:55

Black.Ops · 18th January 2004, 16:29

mark e · 18th January 2004, 16:37

dont like the colors

iPlayTheSpoons · 20th January 2004, 02:19

no updates...no desire to sit down with this junk

and as for the colors...well, you can change them if youre so inclined

Enfurno · 25th January 2004, 22:33

not bad, the depth isn't fluid across the design though, parts look paper thing and others bulked up, also i don't dig the highlights on your glass too much... stick mode is looking pretty sweet, have too see it develop. Overall, good job, a few things that I don't enjoy personally, but hey, keep up the good work.
