Skinning Challange: 24 (The clock is ticking)

In the true style of the brilliant TV series 24 you have 24 hours, not to save the world, but to make a skin. During the 24 hour period you have to report your progress 5 times in one of the challange threads. The price is the honour and everybodys respect, additional prizes may be added if we get someone to sponsor us.

The rules are as follows:
-You have to create a skin within a 24 hour period, starting 4pm CET today (Wednesday) and ending 4pm tomorrow.
-The skin has to be original (meaning at least 75% of the graphics has to have been created from scratch)
-XML changes are not mandetory
-You may not have started work on the skin before the 24 hour challange period
-There is no specific theme you have to stick to
-The skin has to be uploaded to sortitoutsi.net before 4pm CET Thursday
-The winners will be decided by a poll where the users gets to vote

If you wish to join, please post in this thread before 4pm CET (you may enter at a later time, but then you will have less time to work on the skin).

I'm hoping to see some people join up on this one, even if you don't have a massive experiance in skinning this could be a fun event. Remember, the important thing isn't to win, it's to participate.

Good luck! I hope to see a submission from you

Nice one JA... hopefully we'll get a fair bit of interest with this one.

TELL ME WHERE THE SKIN IS [/Jack]

Will you participate JAndersson...I am waiting with anticipation for one of your new skins!

Great contribution to the community, keep up the good work.

retired_hebes77

Yeah, I'm taking part In fact, this idea has fallen flat on it's ass so it's only me and Geonetic who are doing the challange now, heh.

retired_darcihanson

Oh well, I look forward to seeing the results all the same...

retired_darcihanson

JAndersson, just a quick thought if I may...on your beautiful Elegance skin, how would I make the options in the bottem right (i.e. declare interest, sign player and so forth) have a glow behind them when hovered over please?

Similar to your new jaM skin - is it simply an XML change or would it be a graphical element.

Thanks for any advice :-)

retired_hebes77

They're graphics (graphics/actions). Simply copying them from jaM to Elegance should do the job.

Anyway, First screenshot
XML is still from jaM, I'll make changes to that later. Comments, constructive critisism and suggestions are welcome.

Update 1 : ive got the layout i want now and the colours and i'm loving the look of it too


JA - looking great

retired_darcihanson

Thanks for the help...

The skin looks good, perhaps experiment with the positional elements for the club badge, like you have tried with your skin which you are passing to a friend each week. I like the uniqueness of this idea.

retired_darcihanson

Thanks, what you said worked JA !

Could I ask one more thing please, on the Elegance skin the drop down menus are clear (i.e. only text) - how can I activate the little circle box around them...I have looked in the folders and all the graphics appear to be present. Do I need to drag in an XML file?

Thanks for any help
