Idea

[hollywood]

Dont know if its a good idea or not, but I have an idea for the main page of a new skin. I would'nt know how to do it myself. I dont even know if its feasible. Can you design a skin to look like a dartboard, or waggon wheel where each piece of the pie was a button and the center  the update icon, or something like a segmented ring where the information is displayed in the center. Probably wouldnt be the most efficient use of space ,but it would look unique. Just throwing it against the wall to see if it sticks. If its a terrible idea just say so you wont hurt my feelings.

I hope this is the correct place to post this.

I like it..
If you can find an image and post here, maybe someone will design a skin.  Don't count on me, as I said I am no skin skinner.

Thanks for your input, you may not be a skinner but you have your hand in quite a few of them. I'll try to see if I can find something that looks like my vision and post it.

Hollywood,

To understand better what you mean, please post a kind of an example. But my first thought: of course this is possible! You can use every pixel of your screen for this purpose!

There's only one restriction: you can sign/draw whatever you want, but behind your wheel or dartboard you can only use square/rectangle buttons.

Hollywood: Try to convert your bmp to jpg

Then look at the bottom of your post, you can find the file through the
explorer, choose the jpg and than klick on add attachment and your pic
will show in the thread.

Holliwood,

If you want a screendump of your PocketPC screen, than this is a nice freeware programm to make screendumps:

This is the only way I know how to post it. Its kind of a crude drawing.

Thank You for the screencap. Utility. I dont think I have a problem other than the fact I havent the knowledge on how to do it.

Here is your idea..hollywood.

[hollywood]

Thank you sir! Feel free to tear it apart and expound on it everyone. It was just a thought.

Hollywood,

That is a nice idea !!! How long before "Your" skin is ready ???

Zapme1;
If you were to wait for me to make a skin you will be old and gray. What I know about skinning could fit on the head of a pin! That was an idea I threw out there for one of you to run with if you want to, if you liked it. I think somewhere on this PC I have just about every skin released for TP and never noticed a round, triangler, or possibly if not round an octagon style skin. Its all yours if you want to play with it. That drawing is the apex of my skinning knowledge, not to mention I couldnt even post a pic by myself.

The longer I think about this idea, the more interesting it gets.

I catch me at it, to do little outlines on a piece of paper. It has exactly begun with the Hammerskin so.
