skins and GUI (OS-tan themed)

Dr. Mario · February 26, 2008, 05:05:20 AM

I was wondering about makin' Emuii-san GUI (nice green skin for my GreenOmega 64 OS, with warning icons flying around)

And, I would like to hear from other peoples too (about their ideas - anything from scratch or made with WindowBlinds!)

Nice idea. YEAH! Bootscreen topics can come here too! -W-

Oh lawd. That's surprising ^^

Well then, a suggestion: Do you have any theming skills? Like making Visual Styles and stuff? Because if anything, that's what we're missing here.

Otherwise, make me a 95-tan bootscreen, and make it BLOODY. >:3

Yes, we're totally missing a theme... I suppose I'm alright with themes. Guess I'll make it my next project. I'll let you guys know if I make one. One thing is for sure, it will be cool dood!

I stamp this thread with approval and eagerly await results, MAH BOI.

Party hard!

Alright. I have started making an OS-Tan based theme. I'm not too far into it yet, since my job is quite demanding =( I shall post some screenies as soon as I get everything together right. The highlights of these theme are: Start Menu, background and task bar. I will be making a black taskbar with some neat blending. Start menu has a picture of 2k-Tan inbeded. I will be including a small guide along with the theme package that will allow you to implement your own favorite OS-Tan into the Start Menu (as well as customizing my theme!). As for the background (wallpaper), I believe I'll draw my own. I happen to be an artist, so I suppose I could draw my own version of 2k-Tan. Let us be patient, since as noted above, my job is a very demanding one, consisting of 12 hour shifts. I work at a facility which produces gel; the kind we see in jell-o, paintballs and such. Hopefully I can get this done very soon. You guys seem like a good community so I'll be more than willing to help expand the collection of OS-Tan stuff. Long live those sexy OS babes! I'm a digital pimp =) Until then, later doods!

WUT, IS THAT SUM ACTUAL PROGRESS?
>w<

Looks like someone is gonna need some headchomping soon. -w-
Go for it, MAH BOI!

.... -____-
But still, I got response instantly. (the OS thread is somewhat tossed out the window.)

............. (no one is interested in almost all of my threads - oh well.)

Anyways, I have a bad news - GO64 development's temporarily halted.
(due to dead BIOS firmware - I'm using Playstation Portable at this time...)

I could, if needed, voice XP- kun.

Dr. Mario · December 02, 2008, 05:00:07 AM

Now I need to find a open-source graphic modeler and renderer (it has to be open-sourced since I may use some core program in the GreenOmega 64's BrokenGlass engine software to directly execute the Anime Object file (.aoe) for using the OS-tan and other 3D models as an OS mascot - like in M$ Word.) and couple of the 3D Os-tan model you have made so far with Open Source 3D modeler, if that's ok with you.

I share a similar feeling as yours...

A bit OT... but I think I will just stop posting any more works and updates of my OS-tan-related projects in this forum. I hate to say, but I think:

- this forum may simply be too dead already (activity-wise, no insult intended) to support the development of any fan-based projects, OR

- the vast majority of members have no interest on anything other than fan arts, OR

- my works and projects really suck, but somehow they know it without even downloading or trying them (LOL)

Dr. Mario · December 03, 2008, 09:32:29 AM

I agreed. Although if someone think my work sucks - it won't affect my opnion, I just wanted to spoof my OS up - don't want bland GUI (like Windows 9x)... Just wanted it to be a bit more fun to use.

I'm still a bit deadlocked, since I don't have a 64-bit computer (in Helena) anymore - the BIOS is messed up already, so I will have to wait until I actually move to Japan (the reason for delay is: Money. Job.) before I can resume my GreenOmega OS testing (I need to use a 64-bit x86 CPU to test the kernel to see if it can boot, then have CPU enter Long Mode and resume the kernel service and load all 64-bit OS programs and kernel plugins.) - Still developing the software, of course (You can use FASM to compile a 64-bit program on 32-bit PC though.)

The reason I set this thread out because I'm just curious and, also grab the skins from the others if they intend to distribute.

BTW, I checked out your website - still look nice, one problem - they're for Windows Vista, so I doubt it will work in my GreenOmega 64 (unless I modify the WINE heavily to make it look exactly like Vista) but still, I would like to use it, though. Also, some tools on your website will help me out too (to create some OS-tan sprite for the GUI skin).

Added after 13 minutes:

So, AnimeTheme, where do you get the complete tools? I may want to make some too. (for both Windows and GreenOmega OS)
