Stephan Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Just a few hours from the deadline. The main interface. Everything is costum-made: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/57966423/ And the Sidebar interface. Inspired/stolen by/from usedHONDA: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/57966974/ They both include descriptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helio Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Looks like I'm second. No stock imagery was used, excepting Paint.NET icons from the source code.

usedHONDA Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I claim 3rd! Click the screenshot to view another version that points out some key features: Go to the DeviantArt deviation page to view the screenshot without any text on it: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/57905718/ Some info: This theme was inspired by and pretty much built upon Photoshop CS3. I took 3 screenshots I found on Google Images and was simply replacing the icons, but somehow, I ended up doing more than that. The layers window is very minimalist. You can right-click on a layer to view the usual commands. Oh, and the layers are drag-n-drop enabled (wishful thinking). I'm extreemly satisfied with my work on the cursor. It took 15 minutes to make from scratch and has a good deal of alpha values to make it translucent: One of my favorite parts of this project is the dock. Just like the cursor, it was made from scratch and is translucent. I find this to be something that can actually be implemented into Paint.NET and not cause too many problems. Here's the standalone Window Dock before some last sec. tweaking (click to view larger version): The color window idea has been in my head for months and this was the perfect time to display it. As is many things I do, it's sleek, translucent, and most importantly, minimalist.

Mr Frojo Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Ok, heres mine: http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w54/ ... Skin-1.png Its much more compact than the original skin, taking up 100px high, and the width of the screen long. The main goal was to be compact, but still very functional. All of the menus default back to the bottom screen, so everything can be found at one place instead of all the windows in a different corner. The colors and history tabs are pretty much the same, but with some small revisions to them. The tools tab has combined with the tools option, ussualy found underneath file, open, ect. It has also three more icons. Curves, levels, and brightness/contrast. The history tab is a little larger than the original, but much more functional. The layers properties has been merged with the tab, so blending level, transparency, and layer name can all be changed on the tab. This skin doesnt really change much, but makes pdn much more compact and makes things much easier and faster to get to. The window postitions are still similar, colors being in the left, layers in the right, so it wouldnt take much time of getting used to for somebody used to the original skin. Its got a kinda dark look, but with sleek silver windows. Quote I'm still alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilNeko Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Would it be possible to have selectable skin? It could be like Samurize or XFire, where you cna switch between them depending what you like the best. Voted. ~EnM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyrochild Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 It was verrry hard to decide between usedHONDA and Helio.

Illnab1024 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Helio's, simply beause of simplicity. Stephan's was cool but confused me a bit, usedHonda's was also very pretty, but just didn't appeal to me in the usability department, and Frojo's was pretty simple, just cluttered in places.

Stephan Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Sooo... I guess its clear who won... there's no voting anymore... When are we going to start a new comp ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Man Dan Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Monthly Skinning Competition My guess would be next month. :wink: I'm quite sure of this, actually, since I'll be running the next MSC while Helio is away. Voting on this comp ends the 27th. Then we have the 27th through the 30th for choosing the theme for the next MSC, with the new comp opening the 1st of July.
