Updating the biggest suite ever made : Heavy Equipment

Updating the biggest suite ever made : Heavy Equipment

common !!!!

Yep everyone, Skinning is (for me, and probably for the much part of you) firstly a question of sharing.

Once upon a time and before (i think ) WinCustomize was created, probably the biggest suite ever made was done, over which, a lot of talented skinners have bring their time and feelings ... i'm talking about HEAVY EQUIPMENT stuff.

Apart that i love this suite, i think it would be a great thing, that to increase this spirit of sharing, once again those who would want to, would be OK to update skins to latest softwares versions.

Here's the "main" element (i mean WindowBlinds) https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=1260&LibID=1 but you can also still find
- Iconpackage https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=637&LibID=2
- One Screenshot https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=653&LibID=13 shawing a great part of the suite
- A version of Suite itself https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=101&LibID=22
- A pack of Wallpapers https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=24&LibID=8
- A Winamp https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=17&LibID=10
And probably founding others software skins by searching better ...



As far as i'm concerned, i should be OK to bring up updates to a fiew apps but not for all, and also not for the coordination of it ...

Anyone to build up this project ?

Oye TYCUS tuve una idea para un cursor para esta cosa de heavy equipment y ps es el mismo diseño que mi cursor de Blue Light solo que con diferente textura y animaciones, ya lo hice y aqui te voy a enseñar una imagen de como quedo, yo ya quiero ver el tuyo eh, porque se ve que va estar muy bueno, sale luego hablamos, deja lo explico en ingles jaja.

OK, I wanted to participate in this suite, so meanwhile TYCUS is making the cool heavy equipment cursor I made one, it's not entirely new because it's the same design as my Blue Light cursor, but with a different texture and some new animations.

Tell me what you think

looks good Javier...i would say it needs to be more of a yellow orange and i would make the lines thicker so theres less of them and angle them up a little more...just my suggestion cuz you asked. your a great artist...keep it up.

thanks lgspence and Jak, the cursor in it's normal size looks darker and I have some bad news I already did the animations so I don't think I could make the lines thicker, but thanks for your suggestions man, you're a great artist too and the icon set is excellent!

same, but after having downloaded it, i've found the way : i just rename the .CurXPTheme as .zip and recolor it with SkinStudio with a more orange color and it rocks

I think I still have the original images/graphics created by Crumbut that we 'ALL' used as the basis for the various skins.

It's quite 'important' that anything that's going to be done now as an addon for the original suite be done to faithfully follow the style/colours and graphics of the original works.

As an example....that cursor really is the wrong colour...

Compare colours...and stripe pattern details....

I'll upload the images....when I find them...

Carl, possible to include Net In and Net Out on the sysmeter?

J Aroche, been using your cursor since it was posted. Works and looks just fine for me.

I agree with jafo, any new stuff should hold true to the originals.

btw, anyone ever come up with a new list of stuff that needs to be done? I would like to help if possible. My skills are limited but I've done fairly well with ports in the past.

I agree with jafo, any new stuff should hold true to the originals.

This isn't open for debate....it's a prerequisite for approval under the banner of the 'Heavy Equipment' suite.

Updating and extending the Community Skin suite must still adhere to the style and graphics of the original....

i dont think you have to worry about anything Tycus...

I'd personally like to see the yellow on your cursor more closely match Tycus.

it's a great design though i'll definitely dl it wether it's called Heavy Equipment or not.

That's a definite...if it's to be included/listed as 'Heavy Equipment'.

All the suite skins were based directly/specifically from the same image set....which is why the suite looks unified, even though there were so many different skinners involved.

There were then and are still now many skins using yellow/black stripes...but ONLY those true to the original graphic set can be accepted to be included now, years after the originals...

Wow, ese se ve muy fregon TYCUS, espero que lo puedas acabar pronto, aunque el trabajo se interpone pero bueno, me da gusto que sigas trabajando y echandole ganas. Sale nos vemos...

Hey guys you're right about the orange, but at it's normal size it's darker, so I thought it would fit great, but guess not

Hey Skinhit, I was wondering if you would let me use some of your icons in making a sysmetrix?

I was also thinking to help in getting everyone communicating better we should make a Heavy Equipment channel on IRC
