Title: [ Theme ] / [ Preview ]
Post by: Burpee on July 06, 2004, 04:22:01 PM
I've been making this theme for the last two days but I've gotten an entirely different idea for another theme now... Still gonna have to finish this one first... thought I'd just give you guys a preview while I'm attempting to brainstorm on how to put all this into tables and how to implement this the best possible way...

Very nice! Can't wait to see the finished product!

Question: How did you get the flash to scale like that? Where it changes sizes to fit the window dimensions? Thanks!

That's what flash does, it's vector-based.  :)

Hmm... okay... so I haven't been doing much to it lately...
I thought I'd give you guys an update on what I've got so far though :D


Note: I used alienine's 'Teeny-weeny colourful icons for SMF (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=4362.0)' for the navigational bar.

Also, I've been wondering how I should put this into a theme best...
The theme mostly consist of those bars you can see. Would it be a good idea to put those bars in an external file and link to them inside the template, or is there a better method already thought up for this?

Yeah, that's easily the most impressive theme i've seen to date.

Excellent theme, Burpee.. :) Looking forward to see it in full action!Great colors, smooth interface...

As for the bar thing, you could just put those in a folder inside the theme - and add the folder name in the path along with the graphics.That way they stay separate from the other graphics in the images folder.

Any news on this? Did it become a theme or what..?

It's sitting on my computer but I can't work on it because my php/mysql server won't work anymore :D

Post by: bloc on September 14, 2004, 07:45:26 AM
:) too bad...you use linux or windows?
Title: Re: [ Theme ] / [ Preview ]
Post by: Burpee on September 14, 2004, 07:52:37 AM
I use windows on my own computer but also had a linux server on a laptop. Then the laptop's screen was broken into a thousand little pieces. Fortunatly it was still insured, but now my brother who owns the laptop rather has it at his own place (his own computer is a 350mHz and the laptop is 450mHz :D)

...oh-oh. Won't get that one back in a while then.. ;) Hopefully your theme will be someday - it looks most promising.

Is it just for show and tell or is this available to the rest of us scrubs?

Once it's done I'm sharing it with the rest of you :)
First I need to fix me a way to start editing it again...

Oh yeah the laptop problem.  Yeah I saw you in the Dell commercial where you were rocking to the beat at the dorm party and knocked it off the desk face down. I hope that gets resolved quick.  :D

Why not set up a testing server on your windows machine?

My thoughts also - I recommend the KF Web server, but there are others that are more known perhaps. Not difficult to set up at all.

Post by: Burpee on September 15, 2004, 02:15:09 PM
Hmm... I think I may have just figured it out, or have at least made some progress. I just shut down ZoneAlarm and then checked phpMyAdmin and it seems to be able to access MySQL now. My local SMF install doesn't work, but that may just as well be because I've been messing around with it, so I'm going to start off with a fresh install and see if that works....

Edit:
Sweet that worked! Hmm... two weeks and it'll be done, I've got a lot of other stuff to do right now too.
Title: Re: [ Theme ] / [ Preview ]

Okay, obviously it hasn't been finished in those two weeks. Unfortunatly I can't finish it before the contest ends either, as I am going to the Czech Republic until the 30th and most likely won't be able to finish it after I get back.

For this reason, I am offering anybody who wishes to work on it to enter this theme in the contest and recieve any winnings it will get.

The primary things that should still be done are:

If you are interested in doing this, please send me a private message within 2 hours and 20 minutes after this message has been posted and I will give you the files needed as well as provide proof to the moderators that you are allowed to enter the theme.

In case it turns out the theme has been completed below the standards I believe they should be up to, I wish to reserve the right to enter my theme under my own name, as a seporate or replacing entry in the theme contest.

In case anybody is still interested - you can always PM me. I'm going to bed right now, but I'm probably going to have access to the internet when I'm there as well and I could just give you access to the files from there as well.

Bye bye guys, see you in about 4 days ;)
