Mr Frojo

I know it wasnt the best video we've had, but I was just pointing out the fact that cnet put us on the site.

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.

Yea, I was wondering why nobody wanted to be the last entry. Ill just post mine now, because I posted it earlier here, and nobody stole any of my ideas.

We dont know what the next one is. It might be a widget clock, but Im hoping for winamp. And also, im submitting mine now.

Well the value slider on his is upside down from yours

Ill touch mine up a little bit more, and post it soon. I havnt gotten around to doing anything yet.

Cnet finnaly has a video on pdn as of a few days ago. http://www.download.com/Paint-NET/3000- ... ag=lst-0-1 EDIT: Also, we are the third most downloaded image editor. IrfanView 105,471 downloads Adobe Photoshop 48,590 downloads Paint.NET 23,739 downloads Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo 17,806 downloads FastStone Image Viewer 15,508 downloads

And one more thing, your avatar is too big. The max width is 100px.

I still dont see what you see in that uH.

Im not sure on what you can add in the next release. I think that this plugin already has everything it could ever need.

I know theres a lot of potential for open source programs like this, but theres a huge difference between graphics editing programs and 3D modeling tools. To create an option for 3D modeling in pdn, countless hours would have to be spent. There are some things that pdn can double as, such as an icon/curser editor, but programs to make those arnt too much differnt than a program for graphics editing. 2D editing and 3D editing are totally different, and this will never be in pdn. It can be done, but I doubt it will ever be done. It wouldnt be good to have a program that can do both, because then all you would have is a bad graphics editor and a bad 3D modelor. Instead, find two different programs that focus completly on one thing. 3D modeling is a complex thing, and I doubt that there will ever be anyone who would even try to edit pdn to double as one.

Are you sure that you saved it as a gif? Right click one of your images in windows, select properties. After the name, if it is not .gif, then open it again in paint.net, click save as, and make sure in the drop down box, you select .gif

Ill probobly post it the day after tommorow. I still want to retouch it, but I doubt I will get to it tommorow.

You can do this with layers and transparency. Open the image you want on the bottom, then create a new layer (ctrl + shift + n). Paste the image you want to be see through on there, then on the layers tab, click the last button to the right. A new menu should come up, and you should see a little slider named transparency. Slide that down a little bit.

I use pdn as an icon editor. It can do it with that plugin, but there isnt a plugin out there, and there will never be one that will turn paint.net into a 3D editing tool. This doesnt create an actual 3D model, it simulates the results.

^^ Because pdn is not a 3D editing tool

I tested the updated one out, and it is a ton faster for me. On a 800 x 600 image, it was instantly, and on 2000 x 2000, it was about a second.

Not bad oma. Just maybe feather the edges a bit.

When you try to save an image, one of the boxes shows what type you want to save it as. Theres a ton of options to choose from, but if you are going to use unfreez, you have to be sure to select .gif while saving the pictures.

Ill try to replicate that one vista desktop thats like that. It looks like fun.

What about the winamp idea Helio?

You said you finished yours in the first day or around there. I finished mine in a day. Ill still touch it up a little bit, but I really dont think we need a month to get this done.

I wish that we had less time than a month. Ive got tons of ideas for things that should get skinned, but we will never get through them all at this rate.

Its not getting offtopic. Its pointing out how you are breaking the rules.

It doesnt matter who wins, because we all get a cool new winamp skin!
