Hi tolbertn,

Thanks for the great Rainlendar skin.

I've decided to do a mod of it in iTunes 4.0 stylie.

I'm not anywhere near done yet, but I will post a preview pic of it here.

I'd like your permission to make it available when it's complete. You will get full credit for the original. Is this acceptable to you?

Thanks in advance,

Grusic

P.S. @ All: Please don't hammer me with request as to when it will be done and if one can beta it. I've been under an incredible amount of stress and some of you have already experienced my temper!

Bling!

Hi tolbertn,

Thanks.

Here's my latest preview of it. I decided to stay up all night and work on it.

I feel it's pretty complete, though I do plan to make Aqua and Graphite versions in both Mac and Win navigation styles.

I need your assistant though. As you will see from the preview shot, I was able to mod the background shadow bmp a bit. I'd appreciate it if you were to create one similiar both small shadows out on each side as well as the bottom. I figure the bottom shadow needs to be 10-12 pixels and rounded and the side shadows 2-4 pixels. If you would look at some OSX snapshots, I'm sure you'll see what Im after.

I'd try to do it myself, but I can't for the life of me figure out how you created the shadow.

Again, thanks in advance,

Grusic

tolbertn,

Please ignore my last post. I figured out how to do it with a transparent PNG file.

no problem... did it old school so it would work with previous ver.'s of rainlender(bmp's and secondary alpha's bmp's)...wanted to make sure it worked for everyone...also to give the opportunity for those using slower computers... or slower graphics cards the ability to not use the alpha... simply delete it from the folder.

pngs work for ver's 1.5 & 1.6 only...make sure you let the world know to download the newest version of Rainlender if you use pngs...

also did you find the read-me helpful to operate with a dock?

good job... tolbertn

New preview of the mod to tolbertn's Rainlendar.

I've renamed it 'iCalet".

I'd appreciate some feedback from any graphics pros that may frequent the board, as I am not a professional graphic designer myself.

I'm going for a very clean, pro look so the pro input is very welcome.

Without further ado...

#41125

very nice!

looking forward getting your release grusic

#41153

grusic looks really good just a quick suggestion though, make the ical icons in the corner blue to go with the overall look of the theme, the red kinda throws it off a bit,

looking forward to your release.

#41166

I like it, I like it ALAT

#41174

@ Photo678 and totorox: Thanks

@ Miqx: Yes, I was thinking that also. Thanks for the suggestion.

Here's the fix:

Edit: In case anyone noticed, the ical icons were too close to the bottom in that preview, so I shifted them up by 2 pxiels.

#41183

grusic it flawless now, couldn't ask for anything better,

can't wait for the release,

thanks,

miqx

Very nice gents...when ever this is ready, it will be added to my Rainlendar skin's collection...

#41260

Hi all,

Thanks for the comments and suggestions.

I will spend the day working on Aqua, Graphite and Blue, Mac and Win variations. So barring any serious distractions, I will hopefully release these tonight. (I'm in New Zealand, by the way)

See you in about 12 hours

Grusic

Hi all,

I did wind up getting seriously distracted and then tired.

I'm still tweaking the skin, so I retract my 12 hour statement.

I started to find all the blue excessive and have toned it down a bit...

Here's a current preview:

#41547

#41557

This is the look I'm going with for the final:

#41566

#41574

#41598

Pred: I'll release it when both it and myself are ready. I asked people not to hammer me with request and yet you sent me a PM anyway. That was not appreciated.
