Lightman,

In your first post I see a clock with "lest update time". Is it the time in YOUR country or the time given by MSNBC, which is different as I understand that you live in Portugal.
If it is YOUR time, how did you do that?

It's simply the "text" command with the updatetime parameter.
It shows the time of the last refresh, displayed in my local time. I took it from one of the old default skins by srs :

text,2,2,[updatetime],c,l

@LT : np, none taken :) btw, the expression steal is a bit too strong I think...it's not as if we're talking about highly protected and copyrighted stuff ;)

LightMan,

Your WB Adv skins rock!  Can't wait for your TodayPlus skin!  Will it be swappable with the default skins for 0.9.8 (i.e., use same weather icons...)?

ehehe if replying to some posts took the same time than making the skin, then I'd have about 15 skins ready by now eheheh ;)

lol there are some great skins available already (BlazingWolf, rgb08, my minimize one, etc)

@paqque : yes, it will use the default weather icons without any problem (they're the same size of the ones in the screenshot)

Lightman..... Hope I'm not disturbing you. I know ýou're working hard on this skin. And it sure looks nice. But is there going to be a release any of these days?

Hey man :)

sorry, actually I'm not working on this skin right now (not enough time for it)
The few time I've been having I'm using it to make a minor update to my other skin (Minimize)
The stuff that needs to be done to complete this skin will take more time and a less stressed mind (not my current condition)
Don't expect anything under a couple of weeks, I'm sorry for that. :(

I am new here, so my opinion means nothing, but what I have seen of your work, and the snippets we have seen here, this skin will be a work of art and well worth the wait. Take your time man!!!

LightMan,

I am also using your Full Attraction skin for Wisbar Advance.

Your works are tremendous!!!

Hope to see the release of TodayPlus Full Attraction soon.

In fact, I can't wait anywore. I am looking back to this posting again and again, for almost every hour. What if, just let us download your uncompleted skin? The Weather, Launchers and Agenda parts may be sufficient to some people.

Thanks.

Heya :)
glad you liked it. btw, I have plans to make a full screen version of Attraction (without the top abd bottom bars, similar to Elliptica) but as always, time is the problem...but its up there on my to-do list.

I understand your eagerness and believe me, I'd rather post the darn thing right away, but unfinished skins can lead to very strange behaviours on the user's ppcs, like unwanted soft-resets and small memory leaks.
So, that's why I only release when I'm positive everything is fine.

As I said, the work on this skin is now "paused" since I'm working on updating my "Minimize" skin.  
This is nearly done, so afterwards I will get back to this Attraction skin.

I regret to inform that due to extreme limitation of my free time to skin, I have decided to abort finishing the Full Attraction TP skin.

The very few time I have, I will use it to update the skin that I use on my Ipaq (my "Minimize" one)
I'm sorry for this, and it hurts me not being able to finish it (since I was really enjoying it) but there's no point in keeping it unfinished forever.

So, I've decided to post the skin files and if anyone wants to pick it up and finish it, you're welcome to do so. This was being tested in v0.9.8.

Can somebody please pick it up and finish it? I would do it if I knew how to and had the time. But alas  :oops:

Blazingwolf

If Lightman doesn't mind I will continue this project for him. It is a very nice skin. However, I don't have his graphics skills. So it might be rougher then he would have made it.
