Hiya peeps,

This is a distress call to anyone who is interested in helping a fella with a theme. I offered to help out, but I am really struggeling with business and family commitments

Giancarlo from Hybridrainbow is looking for someone to help him with his theme idea. http://www.magicmarble.kernelab.com/home.html

It's a really good idea and he's a top bloke, he's been pretty relaxed and not bugged me about stuff at all, but I feel a bit guilty about not being able to help out. I would rather the theme gets out and he gets a person who he can rely on. If possible I will help out with desktops and icons.

If you can help out here, please drop a note here.

Thanks

I can't believe no one has jumped on this one yet.

boy8cookie · Oct 23, 2004, 12:18 AM

im not, lotta ppl are saying they are too busy to do their own themes let-alone other ppls themes :/

penguinn · Oct 23, 2004, 06:12 PM

im really sorry, but i've been really busy with my own theme project, and of course school [im still just 15]
but i just want to say that the theme looks REALLY nice, good luck with it!

penguinn, I really think you should undertake a project like this; either realizing a mockup or porting over a windows theme. I think that it's obvious you know you're well around ThemePark and Photoshop to make plenty of you're own, very complete themes (I love iTunes skins), but none of your own designs have ever really struck me as looking THAT good (no offense, seriously..just my opinion).. But if you realized a mockup I think it would just look awesome..

Edit: I'm starting to like you're latest theme (Pure).

i'd be willing (if its the mockup i'm thinking of) if no one else wanted/could.

i have never ONCE said i could make a damn thing in photoshop -- which is why i don't. as long as i don't have to make anything in photoshop, i can do just fine assembling. which i might not want to. i suck at making things in photoshop. really bad. really really bad. i mean, look at my macthemes.net contest entry!

I think it looks better than Rawhide and a coupla other entries....... but yeah, it does suck.

Actually, if you squared off all of the edges and made the entire theme in black, white and gray, it would go perfect with the Simple Icons/Apps series. You could bundle them all together with your theme.

I could help out.... I just finished a theme and I'm free!!!

I second that.

Seph · Oct 25, 2004, 12:15 PM

:o Hibrido will see the light after all? and well, we all know that mac15 will give it proper "lighting"

I dont want to rush you, mac15, but you have ~5 minutes. GO GO GO

FB Eye · Oct 25, 2004, 12:35 PM

Can we have it by next week-end? Thanks!!!

cube3 · Oct 25, 2004, 12:48 PM

hehehehe chill guys. Thanks to all who offered to help out, chris is going to take over the project soon as I speak to hybrido, who is writing exams at the moment. So I think a week is a bit quick

maybe 2 if we lucky har har...

justinp · Oct 25, 2004, 12:57 PM

Wow that's fast.

FB Eye · Oct 25, 2004, 02:17 PM

Where's the first screenshot?

That's not funny...

mac15 · Oct 25, 2004, 08:38 PM

I'll try to get it done as quick as I can, It should move along pretty quick considering I'm not doing any graphics

Aslong as he send me PSDs on a regular basis I can plug them in and hopefully make it a really kickass theme!

mugget · Oct 26, 2004, 01:01 AM

i can't get to that site... can anyone post some pics of what what on that site? any screenshots of your Safari window would be just fine... (i'm on a PC at college BTW. maybe it's IE having a spack).

mac15 · Oct 26, 2004, 01:04 AM

I can't reach it either

mugget · Oct 26, 2004, 01:50 AM

so, mac15, you are doing it? but you wanted to do it without seeing a screenshot or mockup at all?

well, good to see there's still some eager themers out there.

do you know if he's got a site anywhere else? or any other pics of a mockup that we can look at?

cube3 · Oct 26, 2004, 03:22 AM

sadly his site is traffic based so too many hits, site goes down
