[WIP] Linear

Piers Wrote:Well I don't really have XML skills but I have played around a bit with the Foundation skin - I managed to get the menu moved over to the left and in the correct position however I have no idea where to go from there.

I thought I would start by trying to get the universal top bar working but not quite sure where to start, I also thought that Eden handles weather differently so should I wait until maybe a new Foundation skin is released?

I then thought about using an existing skin and modifying it, but I was scared away with pretty much all of it.

Maybe I just stick to concept work

edit: if there is a skin maker who would not mind maybe talking me through a few things on MSN or even by phone (happy to call) that would be great. I would like to learn but no idea where to really start.

Well, IMHO, it might be better to open up a new thread and post a problem which you are trying to solve. I was lost too, until Hitch made Foundation - after that I was able to compare

-wiki (skinning manual)
-foundation code
-screenshots that Hitch supplied with it

for the most part it was self explanatory. Mod a Foundation to fit your concept for starters, leaving extra views, weather and like little bits for later.

nice skin concept. really has potential. u should give he movie posters and banners a more paper design (maybe a fold on the top right of them, a drop shadow and an overlay to make them look a bit rough and worn). it would make the skin look more unique.

oh, and if u haven't settled on a name yet, why not "Carbon" (or Karbon ). the black tint reminds me of carbon paper.

Let's wait until it is a bit stable...
Quiet a lot of other things around...

This looks very nice. Can't wait for it

This looks very interesting, I can't wait to try it out.

Looks quite promising. Nice color.
