Lot's of Shadow Themes!
2008-09-21 11:16 PM PDT
Wow.
Had a lot of free time the last Weeks and was working therefor on my Theme-Project.

I finished my little Program so now I can create Themes on the go.
I have already done 20 Themes!.

You can find the official Thread HERE, also I would appreciate it if you'ld make Suggestions or Requests


Still want to make some Infoviewskins, but got kinda bored 'cause I don't have great new ideas - and I don't like making only the Style, because I always need to add something new to Infoviewskins to make them intersting for myself.

So that's why I'll make some Skins in the near future when I have finally bought the Wacom Intus 3 <33

Oh hell yes baby!

Always the same...
2008-08-15 4:53 AM PDT
..I always forget to keep that blog uptodate!

So what happened:
Well I finished school (yeahaw Graduation ftw) and had some great Holidays with my lovly girlfriend in Denmark.
Also I turned 21. Well and now I've started my alternate civilian service and have to get up at 5.15 am...

Okay now to the more interesting part for most of you guys

Xfire:
Well finally one of my projects is on the site and nearly complete!
You can check out it here: http://www.xfire.com/cms/stats/

Also I've been making some InfoviewSkins using Ajax to query the Data from Xfires XML.
Now the version is working great and it supports 6 languages!
So stay tuned, I'll upload it soon!

Also I want to start some new Infoviewskins soon, like for WoW, Crysis and CoD4. You can expect them to be unique and sexy aswell

The last thing is about Theming. After having made many Themes for the old Shadow, I want to make new ones for the new Shadow Version.
I made myself a little Script that will convert the Component to the new Color on the go
I'll make some more so I'll be able to use 2,3 or 4 colors and it will automatically make the correct Theme (will calculate the shades and other stuff aswell).


Last but not least I want to learn Xfires XML SKinning System..So help would be nice
I might start coding my old SteamSkin or starting a new Skin - based on the Nintendo Wii! (with special sounds etc ).
And finishing CleanX 2.0 is also a goal for this year lol :>

Hm..I think that's it for now ^^

Monster Update!
2008-05-24 3:09 PM PDT


Yeah correct - a monster Update is coming!

With a huge amount of help from FURNFIELD we could manage to get a Database working.

So what looks new?
- Nothing! It all looks the same but we now have more features that we can add!

For example we now can track who's using the Infoview and what version they run (so we can remind them to update if a newer one is out!).
Also we can use it to add a ranking system that will come in a later version!

The version will go live when I've finished another little thing I had in mind.
It's just a simple animation but it's really pissing me of right now

Cya later guys - and if you want to support me, please join my group (or send money via paypal ;D )

New Updates!
2008-04-21 10:07 AM PDT

Long time no Update - busy with school.

But I have some nice Update news for you!

A new version of my TF2 Infoview is out adding the ability to show/hide raw server info

The same has been added for my CS:S Infoview and besides that, I added a little Button with a "+" on it next to the ServerIP, allowing you to quickly add the Server to you favourites!

I hope you like these Updates

wow big update!
2008-03-03 7:37 AM PST


Hey guys!
I haven't posted a new Blogentry for a long time, but now I got a new Update for you!

Some of you may have already seen the new CS:S Infoview in the Forums.

That's how the current version looks like:




I'm kinda proud of the result

There's still some stuff missing I want to add:
>> Missing Options-Tab (bottom)
>> Fixing Clans & Guilds-Tab (bottom)
>> (maybe) Changing Font for the CustomMapPreviews
>> Update Checker
>> Other stuff

So what's actually new and working?
>> Thinner Icons > Allowing the User to have a thinner Infoview
>> Centering the Data in the middle (removed the horizontal Scrollbar)
>> Showing Nextmap (if possible)
>> More readable Playerlist
>> Highlights the Username if it's the same as in XFire!

Lalala.

Please comment if you have any suggestions or questions :>

Shadow Themes
2008-01-05 3:02 PM PST


Hey guys

I'm back from holidays and some people may have noticed that redeem195 started some Themes for XFire..So I thought - hey, why not making your own Themes...So I did!

Those are the 2 I actually made:

Purple



and..
Baby Blue



I had to change many things in the original components.xml 'cause it was kinda..well..buggy

So my next Themes are already in planning:

Delicious 3
3 brown chocolate like Themes
Chocolate - milk
Chocolate - dark
Chocolate - white


I hope you'll enjoy it!

Also my other porjects are working well!

>> Not started yet but it will be soon - CleanX 2.0!!!

>> SteamSkin will be coded by Flumpster in the next days!!

>> CS:S Infoview stopped for now. Need a break from it

>> Something new for Infoviewskins: StyleSwitcher. This allows you to switch between diffrent Stylesheets inside the Infoview! Great for my upcoming TF2 Skin (well at least I had something in my mind..not sure if I can find time to do it)

Thanks for reading

New Design for my upcoming CS:S Infoview...
2007-11-10 4:15 PM PST


Wow I haven't posted for quiet some time!

Since I had so much to do and I'm a really lazy bitch I did like nothing ^^
(Some people might know that I started this over a year ago )

But here it is:




It's not completly done, but I kinda like the result!
If you've Ideas for improvment, please let me know (I know that the sides look strange :\)

Like always feel free to comment!!

Besides that I'm currently programing XSkin, a program that will always let you know when there are new Skins/new SkinUpdates out and let you download them
(it also has a build-in SkinPreview!)

Also I'm waiting for Gunowar, who's actually doing some work on his Onyx-Skin, a very hot and simple skin!
Hopefully he'll be ready soon to help me finishing SteamSkin and remakin CleanX to actually support XIG 2.0!!

Greatz,
FaNtA

Logos and other stuff
2007-09-03 7:31 AM PDT
Yeah I know, it's been a long time since I posted, but wasn't at home during my summer holidays

Yeah and no header for this Blog, but who really cares?

I just had some time the last days and started to make some nice shiny logos:
Echovoice

XSead(?):


They are my first try and not finished. But I kinda like the result


SteamSkin: Sorry guys, but hadn't much time the last week to make it and I'll be away for 2 weeks > Trip to Italy!
Maybe I'll have some time afterwards to finish the Skin Shouldn't take long time for such a simple skin

CS:S Infoview:
No News for that Sry..I'm still not good at interface-designing..And until I don't have a good InfoviewDesign I won't publish it...And I still need a Homepage so you guys can download, comment and support it!

Bye ._.
