I will be attempting this for my new IEView template (it's been awhile, huh? ). This will definitely be a challenge, since I haven't touched IEView in awhile. But, I've got alot of free time this weekend, so this will be my project





sit tight. i will update you all on progress when it is made

Looks Sweet!

Those fade-ins are quite interesting. I'll be looking forward to playing around with this!

That looks pretty good, I know I would use it.

Looking good Russell

Damn man, don't you ever stop

This looks good, can't wait till you release it

cant wait

oh my god....

Wow, can't wait to see!!!

Is the animation included? O.o

if only i knew how to use miranda...

looks beautiful!

yes as long as IE doesn\'t muck it up ..

yes, i will try to make the animation work out.

to everyone: don't be expecting this weekend, due to undisclosed reasons i won't have as much time as i thought i did to do it this weekend . so, next weekend possibly

Very nice, can't wait!

mmm sweet good work

Don't worry I have plenty of time... I can wait to have it =P

AnY Previews yet?

not as of yet. the weekend's over, so i will try to start it this friday when i got some free time (i am in the last year of high school, so there's not much of that during the week). i've got alot going on in my personal life as well, so that will be a factor on progress also

Sweet; I saw this on AdiumXtras.com the other day and was dying for someone to port! You probably already are doing this, but could you include an alternating bubbles version too, with avatar support? And perhaps color options? You're the ONLY IEView template maker I like. Keep us posted!

Looks awsome dude, preety nice.

How is it going, russel?
I at least I knew css/html/javascript I'd do templates I wouldn't have to wait

cant wait

Looking sweet, will be waiting for it

hrm, sorry to be the bearer of bad news (for those who are impatient), but i've got exams next week and many projects due this week. i won't be working on it until after my exams

What did I say?
plenty of time

Ohh, very nice project RusselC

Is the fade-in effekt possible with IEView? Thats, really really cooool

Looks great!!

Got news?

i've got new..not good..but not bad news, if you're interested

well, if anyone's interested, here's how the script for fading stuff in is going.

i've been pretty absorbed into my Trim template recently, so i have been polishing it up with fancy things and making it better?

here's the flash video (pretty crappy quality, just look at the avatar )

also, select "Wide" for view size when you open the page. the borders on the avatar do not look like that in reality, the recording just sucks

That's cool effect m8

Yes I'm very eager for this release.

thanks

'got news?

it's safe to say that this has been discontinued for the time being (or for ever?). the effect, as i have messed around with in the trim template, will cause text to be very very unattractive during fading and will also be very slow as the message load gradually increases. mind you, this is evident even only with the avatar fading (as shown in the trim 'prototype'). it would be a lot worse when it comes to having the entire message "area" fade.

later news may/may not come.

Thanks for the update....

pity
maybe you could release it without the fading effect? it still looks gods =P

i was just wondering if there is any updates on this since it really is a nice theme and even if you can release it without the fade effect it will still be a nice theme just wondering if there is any update on it at all

sorry for the lack of updates. just recently been really busy with work. be ready for good and bad news (if you will consider this bad news).

the bad: i have switched [almost] full time to ubuntu linux. which means, for the most part, there will not be that many releases of skins from me anymore. think of it as a long temporary break. sometimes i'll boot into windows and skin the occasional app here and there. but don't be expecting anything big and giant (although i MAY take up a big thing now and then).

the good: someone has emailed me about having almost finished their own port of renkoo and asking for a bit of code for the fading that i have done in trim. this email was pretty much what prompted me to do this reply. anyway, i have replied to the email seeing if he would release it or not. i have encouraged him to release it, which is the wonderful news for you all. besides that, i have also decided to release my Trim mod (which includes the fading) as well, sort of like a "final" release. i will probably release this in an update of Trim.


i hope there won't be any angry reactions to this. keep in mind, i won't be leaving indefinitely. i will try to return on longer holidays and after i get into university. since this year is my final year of high school, a lot of importance is put on every assignment, project, test, and exam. that's where my priorities are. i also have a social life (you might find this typical of what every skinner/developer/whatever-computer-dude says when they leave). since there is so much stress due to school, i need to balance my life out by relaxing and whatnot with my friends and significant other. making skins will only add to the stress. its not that making skins is something i don't like, its just too much when theres a problem that i just can't fix and i have to resort to scrapping everything and starting from scratch.

well anyway, i don't know if any of you bothered to read that, but those are my reasons for slightly removing myself from the skinning community for the time being. i will update you guys when i get a reply from the dude who almost finished porting renkoo.

thanks for the update and i do understand about you having other things to do and its understandable no hard feelings about it and good luck for the remainder of high school and for when you get into university

thank you
