Your opinionswelcome

kc252 · 6th October 2001, 21:32

Tell me what you guys think. I started this one yesterday and want to see what you guys thought about it and if you had any tips. Thanks.

Forevever · 6th October 2001, 21:43

Hey!! what an awesome concept!! I love it, definitely original, keep posting updates.

You might want to go with a gif format though, the jpg makes it real blurry

Looking forward to the finished product!

kc252 · 6th October 2001, 21:50

thanks, i didn't know it would so blurry.

missyob · 6th October 2001, 22:14

That is really cool! It reminds me of when I went to school. Great job!

kc252 · 6th October 2001, 22:41

new text, its all lower case and the color matches a little better. I don't kow if you will be able to tell about the color though.

missyob · 6th October 2001, 23:03

Yes, I am that old and older. I like the job you are doing. Let me know when it is downloadable!

Thanks wildrose-wally. I like using different skins, but usually hang out in GF. I found this place by accident, but it looks like there is a lot of talent in here. Ut oh, dont believe anything you have heard about me <big grin>.

Have a good night sweetheart.

I never used one but I've watched enough little house on the prairie

if I could make a suggestions... perhaps you could alternate case for the text (ABcdEfG), and maybe even write a couple of them backwards, for that real elementary look

Doggy Dog · 7th October 2001, 16:25

Hehe, I'm a major dude and I'm 14...... cool ain't it

. The skin looks cool, reminds me of the elementary school I finished

.

binary hero · 7th October 2001, 18:00

i like it, it's like that handwritten one, that's cool
when I was at school with blackboards, they were either that colour or just black

cappy17 · 8th October 2001, 14:29

Excellent theme, kc252! Being a big fan of "thing" skins, I'm all over this one.

Curious to see how you're going to animate the chalk pieces in the titlebar. Also wondering what this might look with a black (or very dark grey) chalkboard (color variations already!

)

On the volume bar, you've got lots of room to be imaginative here; how about something crazy like the scribble in Doggy Dog's Extravagant amp.

Final note: the posbar eraser is upside down. That is, you're showing us the erasing felt side, which technically should be against the slate. Perhaps you made this decision for artistic reasons...

Please give a link when you've got a DL version!

mark e · 8th October 2001, 14:44

Beautiful...

kc252 · 8th October 2001, 15:05

what do you guys suggest for the eraser, cause i realized that it is upside down(thanks crappy 17), lol, so what kind of material do you suggest be the top of the eraser? Wood like the edges? i think i made it look like the felt because that was the only way i though people wiould recognize it. Any suggestion? Thanks

SuPeYDuUeY · 8th October 2001, 19:32

nice skin, very original, I like it alot

for the eraser...maybe you could have like the piece of paper that they glue on the back of some erasers that have the brand name or something like that on it and it could say "ERASER" hehe

Yeah, that's the tough part, what to put in it's place? Which is why maybe the felt side up is the best choice. Not exactly right, but everyone knows what it is...

Other than that, it'd have to be a label, like SuPey suggests. I've seen chammy cloth used as chalkboard erasers. You know, those soft tan leather squares? Might look odd against your current color shceme, though.

The Only Lynx · 8th October 2001, 20:47

use the eraser as button on the equalizer.. and then like eraze the line when it goes down

Mr. Bojanglez · 9th October 2001, 00:49

ima a 15 year old major dud with dry erase boards and markers

kc252 · 9th October 2001, 04:07

thats funny lynx cause i just started to do that and i got it to look kinda right, but the eraser will be square, it would be to small to recognize if i tried to make it look like a rectangle in that little square, tell me what you think, the gif is a pic of eq in development. I don't really know if i am going to keep the same border and such, but it is a slate and they are kinda uniform, its not a "designed skin" lol if you know what I mean, I am open to suggestions on what i could make the border or the eq sliders look like, but i think that sticking with the same border, maybe a with something different scratched in it like the heart on the main window, feedback! thanks

kc252 · 9th October 2001, 04:14

oh yeah, and for the animation of the chalk in the tray, right now they all just turn a little when you click them, you think that is adequate? or what? maybe they sould disappear like you picked it up, i don't know. and all the buttons are basically the picture of for example the control buttons are the arrows like you see in the picture and when you click on them a chalk line shows up under them, when not being clicked they have what looks like a chalk line that has been erased. Good? i really feel like i didn't put that much effort into them. more feedback... lol thanks

ripe · 9th October 2001, 08:11

nice work kc252, it's looking good.

the top of the eraser should have skin, hair and blood stuck to it, cos in my school the eraser was the first thing that would get thrown at you if you messed about.

hhhmmm.....that's not such a good idea is it?

kc252 · 9th October 2001, 22:07

any more ideas yet guys?(other than the hair and blood one, i had a teacher like that too) I have kinda been putting it off until i get some more feedback. thanks

<ripe decides to behave himself and moves to the front of class>

i'd try larger areas of wooden frame for the EQ.

Also you could try making the slate more used looking. Maybe with dusty/cloudy areas of chalk dust.

imo it looks a bit too clean at the moment.

Nice, but blurry.

kc252 · 11th October 2001, 13:25

crap, I didn't know about that skin, does that make mine a rip?

bobo · 11th October 2001, 19:03

no it doesn't. even if you knew about it before u started i wouldn't call it a rip. finsish this its a cool concept

cappy17 · 12th October 2001, 14:18

Don't stop now, kc!

That other blackboard skin just gives you something to test yourself against. So far, you're winning.

jns · 12th October 2001, 14:32

It's not a rip if you didn't actually took that skin, slightly modified it, then blah blah, sorry for stopping in the middle of the sentence, got some work to do, and forgot what I wrote, but someone might get a point.

Ch33zels · 13th October 2001, 10:00

yours is much better than that other blackboard skin..

blackboards scare me

kc252 · 13th October 2001, 15:29

ok, I am continuing with it, but I still need feedback on what I asked earlier, like the chalk in the tray, etc. I am working on making the board look used, but i think i may have over done it. we will see.
