Since we live a high speed internet era, I just wanted to draw some ideeas-The only thing I am good at- :D

1. Why don,t you make an archive of all skins created, in a zip file, with directory and so on....
2. Why don`t collaborate to make Icons related to the skins?
3. Why not make some sounds related to the skin also?
4. ...Active desk skin will be always a plus.....
5. I am thinking to a program that will allow uses to change skins like colors for 9210......

I can think further....but I`ll let you reply


For the prosperity of AAS Comunity ;)

I was thinking on an app like it ...
I'm always trying to include icons with my skins ;)
Active Desk is only a skin when you include icons! Otherwise you just have a wallpaper.
I'm writing a full skin tutorial + a general sis installer layout for everyone to use (so the skins could be installed) (I'm requesting a UID which everyone should/could use)

Is there a way to get different backgrounds for e.g. calendar? What I basically have open all the time is calendar. I go to desk very seldom so whatever cool skins there is, I hardly ever get to enjoy it :(

I use the month view alot. A nice background would spice up the life :D
But no nude babes, please :D

You should consider it making it freeware, with option to register for some upgrades, special skins or whatever.

AAS Comunity will appreciate to buy it for a few bucks :bday:

I only make freeware ;)
Of course the pay if you want system will be available ...

I need to check a whole list of stuff before I start this Skin Manager, so don't be waiting for it :p

Well ..... What a round :D

1. Why don,t you make an archive of all skins created, in a zip file, with directory and so on....

Hmm .. I suppose one could do that.
Personaly I have ALOT of skin folders as is and adding even more subfolders for each skin folder would meen chaos..And on the other hand itīs only 2 folders you need to extract to ... I think one can overlook that

2. Why don`t collaborate to make Icons related to the skins?

From my view it would take ages to complete a skin pack if you had to include custom icons for every skin pack ... The idea is very cool . And some may include them ... But for now ..There simply isenīt enough time in life to make a zillion icons for every skin..If you catch my drift ;)

3. Why not make some sounds related to the skin also?SPUPIDDDDDDDDD .Why havenīt anyone thought of this before .. !
OFCOURSE ... Splended idea .... Will be carryed out..!!
Or at least just a couple of sounds for some skins ... Neat ...

4. ...Active desk skin will be always a plus.....
YEAH ! ... My last 2 skins packs have had AD walls included and all future will !....(I recall some earlier skin with AD walls as well)

5. I am thinking to a program that will allow uses to change skins like colors for 9210......
I wet my pants the day that arrives ! http://loonyworld.adsl.dk/images/smilies/disturbed.gif

U catched my drift, loony.

I use a program that plays wav`s when oppening and closing cover, and slo announce me when I got messages, todo`s and allarms. Could be awsome combination with that program....or whatever will be...

Cheers
