Shiny's XP Windowskin Workshop

[ShinyToyGuns 29]

I'll be taking requests for Windowskins. Below are a few examples of what I have done so far, some of them are old and some recently made. To request a windowskin, simply follow instructions below.

Previous Work

Instructions

• Color(s)/Theme
• Cursor Style/Color(s)
• Border Style/Color(s)
• Reference Picture(s) (as needed)

Information

• Color(s)/Theme ~ What color(s)/theme do you want the Windowskin to follow? (Hexadecimal/RGB values for color helps, but is not necessary)
• Cursor Style/Color(s) ~ Do you want a special cursor for when in battles? If so, what do you want it to be/what color(s)?
• Border Style/Color(s) ~ This is the border that is created around the window. If you would like a special one, what type, and what color(s)?
• Reference Picture(s) (as needed) ~ If you have a Title Screen for your game already, and would like it incorporated into the windowskin, here is where to say. Reference pictures also help for custom cursors.

Credits

Although I do not necessarily require credit, if you wish to include me in them, go right ahead.

Bring it on!

Awesome topic.

[ShinyToyGuns 29]

Added a new one I made for Foxkit

[Bob423 52]

something to match this

[ShinyToyGuns 29]

@Ben: I'll probably be able to get to that by Monday...been busy this weekend ^.^

[Kiriashi 117]

I need something dark, plane and grey. If you can get some chain border or something, that would be cool. But really, simpler is better for this..

Depending on how long Ben's takes (shouldn't be too long), I should have this for you by late tomorrow or Tuesday

 

 

 

[Kiriashi 117]

Awesome.

 

Thanks man. ;3

[ShinyToyGuns 29]

so, it's probably gonna be a bit longer for both of you, as I spent the past 4 hours drinking with friends, and am kinda numb right now...hope you'll understand

~Steven a.k.a. ShinyToyGuns~

[Kiriashi 117]

I totally don't.

 

I want my money back.

[ShinyToyGuns 29]

Sorry for the wait...Here's one for you, Ben...yours next Kiri

 

 

 

[Kiriashi 117]

Omgz thats awesome.

 

Can't wait. =D

[ShinyToyGuns 29]

Here you are, Kiri

 

 

 

 

[Polraudio 122]

Can i have something that kind of matches this?

[ShinyToyGuns 29]

I'll try to do that for ya, Pol...do you need any sort of special battle cursor or anything?

[Polraudio 122]

Just the standard one but make it match. Thanks Steve :)

[ShinyToyGuns 29]

Here's yours, Pol...I tried getting the colors as close as possible, but the rest of it was a bit harder. (I wasn't able to do the symbol, because it probably would've looked odd stretched)

 

 

 

 

 

Lemme know if you want something different...

[Jon Bon 43]

I would like to make the following requests. The only parameters I need set in stone, is that they keep as close as possible to the same look as the original RMXP RTP windowskin's color/feel. All the cursors can be taken from the RTP (preferred if possible). I also have a palette I created with some if not all of the RTP shades on it, I can send it to you if needed.

I intend to include this as part of a pack I am working on. It will be free, and you will receive full credits. For this reason I ask that the windowskins are not released without watermarks etc, or as part of another pack etc. I am sure you understand.

Thanks in advance mate!

It's gonna be another busy weekend, but I'll start on these for you as soon as possible, Jon.

 

If you could send me that palette too, that'd be great. Also, when you say you don't want them released without watermarks, do you mean to add a watermark of some sort so that I can put them here and then send you the originals via private message or something?

 

Regards,

~Steven a.k.a. ShinyToyGuns~

[Bob423 52]

dude, i just realized ive already used some of your window skins in my games. as optional ones. i had no idea :biggrin_002:

[Jon Bon 43]

Also, when you say you don't want them released without watermarks, do you mean to add a watermark of some sort so that I can put them here and then send you the originals via private message or something?

 

Aye, you got the idea. Figured you might want to post them up etc. Just don't want them nabbed before I pack em type thing.

Sending the palette now.

[ShinyToyGuns 29]

@Ben: Sweet! Glad you found use for them ^.^

 

@Jon: Thanks for the palette, I'll be sure to keep it internal. :)

[Polraudio 122]

Here's yours, Pol...I tried getting the colors as close as possible, but the rest of it was a bit harder. (I wasn't able to do the symbol, because it probably would've looked odd stretched)

 

 

 

 

 

Lemme know if you want something different...

Fricken perfect! Thank you very much Steve :biggrin_002: .

[ShinyToyGuns 29]

@Pol: Glad you liked it :)

 

@JonBon: Here are the first two windowskins watermarked as you requested...I'll send them all to you in private message once I finish the rest :)

 

 

 

Forest Windowskin:

 

Mountain Windowskin:

 

Lemme know if you want anything changed/added.

[Jon Bon 43]

Excellent, exactly what I pictured.

Totally perfect mate, I am extremely excited to see the rest. It's really neat to see someone else create something you envision, kudos.

[ShinyToyGuns 29]

Here are the next two in the series, Jon...I tried a slight ripple effect on the water background to break it up a bit...I think it looks good, but if you want me to just stick to recoloring it, I can redo that one.

 

 

 

Water Windowskin:

 

Prairie Windowskin:

 

Lemme know what you think,

~Steven a.k.a. ShinyToyGuns~

[Jon Bon 43]

I definitely like it. I trust your creative direction, please feel free to use your best judgement, as I am very pleased with your work. Thanks again mate.

[GrimmHallows 17]

May I make a request?

I need a new window skin for my newest project.

I'm not entirely sure what I want, but i know I want something visually impressive.

It's a bit of a dark theme though, so make it maybe gothic . . . Thanks in advance

[DoomJosse 0]

Not sure if its alright to post on such an old topic... but might as well give it a try!

Also not sure if this is still alive... :\

 

Anyways, I'd like to make a specific request!

 

• Color(s)/Theme ~ Some sort of woodish color, or something like that. 
• Cursor Style/Color(s) ~ Uh... Some sort of White magical triangle or something...
• Border Style/Color(s) ~ Just a black border, with smooth edges.
• Reference Picture(s) (as needed) ~ No title screen, but heres some sort of reference: http://www.stockphotopro.com/photo-thumbs-2/AEGFXJ.jpg http://a.rgbimg.com/cache1pZPpg/users/g/gr/gramps/300/mTjf7do.jpg

Well... I guess it wasn't very specific, but... I hope it'll turn out to be something great!

[Bigace360 38]

Necroposting is still necroposting, plus ShinyToyGuns hasn't even been on since 2012 March, so you're not getting your request done by him any time soon, probably never.

 

I'm closing this, either ShinyToyGuns can request/pm a mod to re-open this or anyone else that wants to take the challenge of doing this can PM a mod.
