ESO Theme

Post by Ulthraun »

Hello everyone~! I'm relatively new to Rainmaker, and I really want to learn how to make a ESO Themed skin. I believe I was successful (For the most part) at making the system and Disk boxes the way I want them (except the bars... I wish I knew how to change the design for those.).

What I'm working on or have and getting assistance with;
A background (Finished)
Image
Black transparent fade out boxes (Finished)
Image
Elder scrolls Text (Finished)
Image
Elder Scrolls Colors (Finished)
Image
Image
Cursor pack (Finished)
Image
Analog Clock (Finished)
System and Disk (Partially Finished)
Image
I still want to add this trim around the bars;
Image

What it currently looks like, I know, nothing fancy yet.
Image
What I haven't started on;
Pretty much everything else not listed above. I'm not the best artist, nor am I very good at gimp, but one thing that is certain is I'm a perfectionist. So I will try to make anything I do make/find/salvage in this skin perfect. Any help or assistance with coding or tips is appreciated! :D

Anyone who views this have any ideas for the interface? I'm comfortable with saying everything is done (unless you want more stuff) except this, and maybe some custom icons.

Sorry guys, I've been VERY busy with trying to move. First day moving into an apartment it ended up back flowing sewage water and flooding the apartment.. I've been in and out of the office trying to get them to correct this, or simply reimburse me, but all attempts have failed. So for the course of possibly another month, I'm going to put in a 60 day notice, hope to simply get out without going to court, and rent one of my aunt's houses. Wish me luck, because the sooner I get through this, the sooner I can get back to work! ;-)

I've been working on the System box, trying to make it a little bit more fancy. Only issue I have at the moment is I can't get the trim around the bar. Any tips would be nice!

Nah, not a plugin, and the bar can easily be changed. The png's I'm using can be swapped with anything. Hell, you could make them rainbows if you wanted xP

I will say this though, this is roughly where my knowledge ends, so for now until I learn more, the project is dead. Unless you or someone else wants to help pick up on it. *Cough, jsmorley, Cough*
