Votes please! :)

Published on June 7, 2003 By grayhaze In WinCustomize Talk

In preperation for creating several colour variations of my dinksDX skin, I'd like to get some opinions on the colours some of you would like to see. I'm avoiding a custom colour version, as my attempts at creating one have turned out less than satisfactory. I'm therefore concentrating on creating a handful of fully detailed re-coloured versions.

The original skin can be viewed here:

An image showing some possible colour variations can be viewed here:

So cast your votes! Choose the three colours from the selection that you'd most like to see and the ones with the most votes will get made into full skins.

Red, at least. (Row 2 from top, the far right pic.) Not that many red skins around that I recall. Dunno about the other colours.

I also agree with others that red would be nice as one of the colours!!

Some of the choices here really surprise me. When the original dinks came out, I made three versions - red, green and blue. Out of those three, the red was the least downloaded, despite it being my favourite one.

Red is now on the definate list.

Woodbridge is right to some extent BTW. You can make the grey version of the skin yourself by turning on custom colour support in the WindowBlinds configuration, checking the 'force' option, and setting the blending level to 0%. There are a couple of images that don't get recoloured using this approach, but for the non-media designs it works well.

Row 5, number 3
Row 4, number 1
Row 2, number 3

In that order.

I like them all, though. So add another vote to all of them.

Thenks Grayhaze for including the red. I'm one of those who downloaded the original red dinks.

(row, col)

(3,1), (2, 3), (3, 2), (4, 2), (4, 3), (5, 3) oops, that''s more than 3 isn''t it?

Ok, 3 faves: (5, 3), (2, 3), (3, 1)

It''ll be quite a while before anything replaces iSkin on my computer, but I''ve downloaded dinksDX Blue and it will definitely be going up once I get tired of iSkin. Good job!

As long as everything else stay the same, the Dark Red and Brown (Copper) colours would be fine for me

Left to right, #3,6,11,12...(and 2,4,5,7,8,9,10....etc.!!!)

ALL of them are great, but I''m a ''teal'' kinda'' gal, and the red and blue/purple are certainly not seen as often, I think. Great colors!

Oops, typo''! Tsk,tsk, Edit, edit...
