[3.0] Skinnage

[Guest] [joshmiller83]: Can we get an Astrolabe fix please? Or has WIM stopped being developed?
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: You can disable wim2wim for now or visit the forum thread where you originally posted the issue
[DevTeam] [Zeke]: Yay for spam!
[DevTeam] [Zeke]: ....
[DevTeam] [Zeke]: I love that I get emailed when someone reports spam on the boards, but I can't do anything about it.
[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: lol i got you
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: How about "hide email address from public checked" and it's still visible in all my posts...
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: I'd delete my account on this site, but by the time I realized the problem half the spambots on the planet had it already
[Developer] [Pazza]: Astaldo if you log out and view your profile with a refresh you'll see that your email is hidden.
[Developer] [Pazza]: Your user level on the forums permit you to see emails even though they are marked hidden.
[DevTeam] [Astaldo]: Ah.. thanks for the clarification and apologies for "crying wolf" in that case :
[DevTeam] [Kaidenn]: PAZZA! i miss you.
[DevTeam] [Nachonut]: Lol, it's funny how it takes spam message reports to get me to come back
[DevTeam] [sylvanaar]: Check out the beta tester forum. Need alpha testers and feedback so I can come up with a maintenance plan.
[Developer] [Pazza]: loaded some new spam prevention modules... lets see if this stops the bastards.
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: Thought I'd check in and say Howdy Doody from Australia
[DevTeam] [Maziel]: Yeah the spam from shoes salesmen was becoming insane
[Guest] [Delakando]: What ever happened to the ability to track friend's location by wim? Other then just showing their general zone location.
Zeke pokes his head around the corner.
[DevTeam] [Zeke]: Anybody home?
[Guest] [Theillur]: I would like to know if it is just me.
[Guest] [Theillur]: http://www.wimaddon.com/forums/index.php/topic,1796.0.html
[Guest] [Nev]: I'm here
[Guest] [Nev]: I don't think anyone else is though
[Guest] [tomasio]: great site [url=http://freeonlinemusicvideos.net].[/url] [url=http://freepeopleclothing.org].[/url]
[Guest] [Theillur]: Nev it is not working for Zeke as well.

[DevTeam] [lothaer]: Posted a new download in the skins forum check it out
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: Zeke, Maziel, Pazza, Nachonut, sylvanaar, Kaidenn, Astaldo where are you?
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: It would be a real shame if WIM was left to die.
[DevTeam] [lothaer]: i think these forums are dead, Sylvanaar dosnt post on them as he only bug fixes when possible. WIMs future isnt very bright
[Guest] [justgiz]: Yea, its rather sad.
[Guest] [silvercola]: I wish it had skype

Here's my first 2 skins

Note: both of these require WIM 2.3.65 due to changes in the Skin API. If you find yourself with class icons in the wrong place and/or a vertical shortcut bar you're using the wrong version.

Skin 1:

Download
Modelled after Steam friends

Skin 2:

This skin is not compatible with WIM 3.0, an updated version may be created at a later time

How do we install these great skins? I can't seem to get them to work.

[Stewart]

just install as you would any other addon

[NachoNut]

just install as you would any other addon

by that meaning, the skins will be in their OWN folder inside the addons folder like all your other mods. They don't go inside the wim folder at all.

[Zeke]

A couple problems, though it's not anything that affects functionality. When the window height is set smaller than default and the opacity is turned down you get a horizontal bar in the middle where the images overlap and double the opacity. The other thing is that when text outlines are enabled the input box is unreadable. Refer to the image below for an example.



Like I said, these aren't major issues but perhaps something to look into when making more skins.

[Stewart]

nothing i can do about the height box, there is no API method to define minimum height, and the absolute minimum is calculated still with respect to the default skin. The skin does use much larger top and bottom areas than the default skin which is why they overlap, however this is required to make the avatars render correctly

as for the font outline, no idea what to do about it, theres nothing in the api related to it, i just set the font colour

[Pazza]

Both issues need to be resolved with WIM itself. I am adding functionality to auto determine best minimum width and heights. I will also remove the highlighting from the message box. It will only display on the edit box. That should resolve both issues.

Thank you.

Yeah, that's how I had them and it's working now.

Dunno why they weren't the other day...

Steam skin updated for 3.0, Second skin is no longer compatible.

[SilverShadow]

Steam skin updated for 3.0, Second skin is no longer compatible.

I'm getting an error when I click the download.

The requested URL /wim/WIM_Skin_Steam_Green.zip was not found on this server.

[Stewart]

that would be because the correct link is in the topic that is pinned to the top of the forum
