Myrddin Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Also, Myrrdin waned to explain his secret vote... It's funny you should mention that as it was you who my vote was for. 'Why?' I hear you ask. Well, yours Stephan was the only entry not to include the command labelled 'Start'; as the task was to modify an existing OS or create your own, I chose the only entry which didn't take the route of an obvious Microsoft modification. I felt there would have been more thought put into the design if the participant didn't use something which was essentially 'done' for them, therefore a complete new OS look. I don't wish to belittle the other entrant's designs or efforts as they were all great, but Stephan's was the one that stuck out for this reason. To keep this post reasonably on-topic, I chose deviantID and deviantART.

Bobofthedead Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I reckon something useful.

Andrew D Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I have one thing to say though. How can you skin a dA ID? I mean, it dosen't make much sense, really.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephan Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Well... Skinning gets used... very broadly. Creating new things (mostly interfaces, or things that belong to them) is also a part, but as you saw in MSC #5 most people "skinned" Windows.

People skin all kinds of websites using an extension called "Stylish" for Firefox. Here's one I know that, I mean, what's the point of "skinning" a dA ID?

Rubrica Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Well, look at my ID for dA, that's a way of "skinning" the original. You start off with a template and make it your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkbark00 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I think the point of "Skinning" DeviantArt.com would be to design your own version of the entire web page.

Stephan Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 @ The newest submission in the official submission thread: Do not just color/recolor. That requires no skill whatsoever.

However, i don't have to, my submission is due tomorrow or the 24th... We'll see, although i've given away quite a lot by posting: This: And this: NOTE: These are not recent...

Mike Ryan Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 yours is much more creative, Stephan. Just like the Operating System comptetition, you manage to defy what it is that makes a web browser what it is.

Myrddin Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Okay, this has illuded me too long: where do the browser icons come from that people are using so readily? For instance, sorry Mike.Ryan52, your entry was the first at hand, nothing against you or it, but see here, the Home, Refresh... icons he uses; many other people are using them too yet giving no credit, is there a reason for it? I see them in TheVoid's and thehamster's entries alike, and I swear blind I've seen them elsewhere as well.

Reminds me a bit of an article about how new user interfaces will keep computers alive thought Thanks However, i can't really say my submission in MSC #5 was very innovating... Compared to the rest, which were all "Just" Windows skins, okay... But other then that, it really didn't contain any more then the other submissions did, also, ironically enough, the browser sucked! @Myrddin: They come from the Microsoft Font "Webdings" I personally hate to use them in their natural shape, but editing them makes some great results. For example, I used the house aswell for the "Home" button (See, not very innovative, huh?) But edited it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Ah right, thank you Stephan. I've never used Webdings in my life, so a tad oblivious... Quote How to Save Your Images under Different File Types My dA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
