Congratulations Skin Authors
 

I just wanted to express a congratulations to PixelPirate, Basj and Conmandeco.

Also, I think all the skins submitted to the contest were great and I know PA users appreciate each and every one of them. Nice work guys!

Thank you
 

Congrats to you too, Marc. :)

And congratulations to all the winners of the contest!

Great to see so many different entry styles.

Thank you!

It was a great incentive and overall I think PA had a great launch with its new skin engine. I dont remember the old skin library very well, but I think we have almost as many skins.

Of course the skin list will keep growing. Now... Lets hope PA dosent change the skin engine anytime soon :p

No changes ever :-).

Your at the top of my "A" list!

If buttons are added along the way, it wont be that hard to update the toolbar file though. So no worries there.

But I had this thought. How hard or impossible would it be to have\define a separate 32x32 bmp for each button? Each image file would be name according to the button. Then when new buttons are added in PA it could fall back on the default or people can simply drop a new image into the toolbar folder. Oh yeah forgot to mention that detail. The button images could be located in a subfolder of "skins" simply named "Buttons".

This would also allow users to mix and match their favorite button images to get the toolbar they want. Just a thought.

a bit too complicated really - if you want to mix and match, you can simply use the buttons from application itself and add them to the toolbar image...

Yeah thats true. I was just thinking people wouldnt have to do any editing to the toolbar.bmp files.

But as you pointed out, it wouldnt be simple to implement. But the idea sounded good at first though :)

everything takes time to do, test, implement, etc. Time is so precious these days, gotta save it for PA 2007. :-)
