Title: Compact skin image
Post by: arbitrajeu on October 24, 2003, 12:01:11 PM
This is my current work in progress.  It's a compact skin, comprising weather, clocks and links.  It's based on rbg08's complete skin, with the new blue buttons from 0.9.5.

- The clocks (5 analogue clocks) replace the weather if I click the clock link.  
- The up/down arrows scroll through pages of links.  
- The left right arrows scroll through the
- The 'back' icon takes me back to my Home weather
- The refresh icon checks for new weather data

I'm planning to add RSS feeds, but sense that will be a new region.  I've liberated a bunch of Today space by getting rid of OmegaOne Program Bar, so can put in a POOM/RSS region.

If anyone is interested, I can post the skin file.

Yep, really looking good, ditto about the date, nice and clear.

I personally will wait for the RSS feeds to come in though...and I think it feels more intuitive for me to have the POOM part completely seperate from the "info" region..."info" being weather, news, clocks etc...

ie My thinking would be have the rss feeds in the same region as the weather as you have it now, and have a seperate region below, probably, for POOM data.

Would be nice to squeeze in the new uptime feature somewhere as well.

I'm almost inclined to give up trying to design a skin myself, you and Lightman seem to cater to my tastes so well.

Keep up the good work, look forward to the finished skin.

Doemaarwat - I very much like the look of your skin.  You may see some elements in my next version.

Jereboam - I take your point on the info vs POOM front.  My issue is that I recently (5 days ago) invested $30 in buying Agenda Fusion and I can't bring myself to produce such a fully-functional T+ skin that it renders it obsolete... yet :wink:

Currently I've added the news as a separate region below my weather, making my Today page my "info" screen whilst I have links to AF for my POOM data.  However, I will be playing with POOM stuff this weekend as I have a craving for birthday information on my Today page, so will keep you in mind with my experimentation and post a version with tasks/appointments too.

:o G ahead. I grabbed things from others too and 'merged' them in the skinfile that came with the latest version of TP:)
