Congratulations, Stephan!

Welcome!
And now! At Last! Another competition completely different from some of the other competitions which aren't quite the same as this one is.
Ending the the year in style, relish this limited edition, two–month special!
What's this? A poll?
Judgment approaches! Five days, this poll shall be open... and then—well, cake, of course.
--
The Spec's:
In this episode, as in the previous special, freedom and creativity reign supreme. With Applications being the theme of the last special, this time you must either skin or design a website.
You enjoy the same flexibility—the option to either redesign an existing website, or to create a website that (as of now) does not exist.
An elaboration...
Now, understand this: all submissions must be graphical. No coding is required to make an entry; simply enter a representing, mock–up image—created with Paint.NET.
If you would like to actually code and assemble your entry, you may do so, provided that you submit a screenshot (Wiki this) of the completed design.
Rules:
- [*:23d9ocjs]All of the
[*:23d9ocjs]All source images used in your submission must be linked to. If you fail to provide these by the end of submission time, your creation will be disqualified.
[*:23d9ocjs]Unless your screenshots are small, please post extra screenshots after your first as clickable thumbnails (how do I do this?).
[*:23d9ocjs]Once you have submitted your entry, you may no longer add to or edit your post, with the exception of adding links to source images.
[*:23d9ocjs]This thread is for submissions only. If you'd like to discuss the competition or a submission, look no further!
[*:23d9ocjs]Be courteous and kind.
[*:23d9ocjs]Have fun!All entries are due by Christmas Morn! [11]
Happy All–Saint's Day, and don't forget to set your clocks back!

Thought I'd forgotten, eh?
I'm hoping that the web theme will go over well...

I am a "he", thank you. And I do, in fact, live in a crazy time zone.
The rest of the month shall be devoid of MSC-ish-ness. An intermission. Eagerly await its return on the first of November, which shall be a fabulous year-ending two-month long competition.

Sure! CMD is still around... only, not... here... <_

I'm slightly confused. If I were to redesign an iPod, would I still use all the functions of the iPod, such as Music/Videos/Party Shuffle etc, or would I create something entirely new?
That's up to you. If you're skinning an iPod, I would use the iPod functions. If you're redesigning an iPod, you might call it an "iPod improvement", or create your own device.
Sounds awesome, I can make my own device right?Right!

Thirteen has begun. Discuss away!

The Mobile phenomenon.
Voting has now opened; I apologize for the delay. One week to vote!

Mobile devices. Phones, computers, MP3 players. Once a curiosity; now commonplace. Who doesn't have an iPod... or at least a cell phone?
With the emergence of hand-held computers and 'smart' phones, many of these machines run their own OS (Operating System (Wiki this)). This is your challenge - create a Mobile OS.
An expanded explanation...
Well, you must create an OS for either a phone, or an MP3 player. You may present your OS in or out of a device; only what the screen would display, or as you would see it in your hand - with physical attributes. If you choose to include the device, you may use an existing product, or create your own. This round is pretty flexible.
Rules:
- [*:13t6njkt]You must have a link to all source images used in your submission. If you fail to by the end of submission time, your creation will be disqualified.

By my forum time, expired, your submission came in at 11:45 pm, 14 minutes before the deadline.

And, the poll is set. Cast your vote now!

Crumbs! I'm late again.
I tell you what - voting shall start tomorrow, and the next competition will as well. (That we may not drift off schedule.) The theme shall be the runner-up of the last vote, Cellphone/MP3 Player OS.

And... now what? How does it work?
Edit: Aha. You should make it clear that this is a file type, and should go in the FileType folder.
-
That is just plain cool.
-
Ahh, Tanel. Right on cue...

For my part, I'd love to see it!

Using Photoshop brushes in Paint.NET (free Photoshop substitution)
:Up: An article I stumbled upon accidentally. It involves Señor Brown's Custom Brushes Plugin.

Well, did you have PDN open while doing so? And if so, have closed and re-opened it?
Perhaps you've already read this installation guide?
-
I suggest a good course of light, frequent applications of a non-oily moisturizer (shea butter would be nice). Ones with sun-blocking properties are great - perhaps SPF 15?
All of the above mentioned work nicely as well; clone stamp for more drastic cover-ups, and surface blur for some smoothing.
-
[...] ...Helio?
... Meh.
The main purpose of the rule is to delineate what was created by the entrant and what was not. It should be fairly obvious to any casual viewer of the entry that he did not create the PDN windows from scratch, and of course, there is no reason to state whence they came.
You may state it if you wish - but I think it not mandatory.

A tiny portion of the Blogosphere...
... And now, time to vote! Poll's above.

Actually, it isn't. I had an amendment sent to me in the form of a PM - a certain Matoyak meant to vote for LFC4EVER, but mis-voted.
LFC4EVER, you are the Champion.
Olli, you come in an extremely close second.
Ego Eram Reputo takes third.
Sorry for the confusion. Congratulations, one and all!

Sorry for the late posting; I was starting the competition last night when the power went half out. 'Tis up, now!

The poll is now open, and will be until 8pm (EST), July 31st.

How do I move small selections with the mouse?
in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
Posted
Hullo, voripteth!
Actually, you don't have to click within the selection to move it. With the move tool selected, click and drag anywhere on the canvas to move your selection. Furthermore, anywhere on the gray margins works fine as well.
