Why would they pay someone when it's a non-profit project?

[SharpGreen]

LOL ^^^^^^^^^

now thats funny

[WarStorm]

It is a bit sad that he wants to get paid. I mean dont get me wrong he has skills..but surely seein his work actually in this project should be enough for him to be happy..

[Xero]

Well unlike most of you I run a company, I make graphics for money, weathers its print media, websites, themes, or even a simple gui for a messenger program. I don't have time to do freebees, even for myself. I'm a very busy person and I'd rather not do any sort of business with the Nexus team after speaking with this so called "Nazgulled" now for those that still wanted me to do something, you can thank him for it. As far as your age, I don't need you to tell me the age you are, I can tell my reading your immature messages. Maybe once you have been around the block for a few more years you will get an idea on how this all works, keep your mouth shut until you know the full story. I'm sick of dealing with these kids who think they are "hot sh*t" maybe when you grow up we can talk, but until then keep your comments towards me to yourself. I'm done with this.

[SharpGreen]

whew Xero really lost didnt he.. and all over a silly comment about making a free Nexus theme.

[ProclaimDragon]

lol, you're funny...

(...)I'd rather not do any sort of business with the Nexus team after speaking with this so called "Nazgulled"(...)

first of all, i'm not part of the team, i'm just a simple guy thatlikes the way this project is going and likes to keep watching the progress.

Maybe once you have been around the block for a few more years you will get an idea on how this all works(...)

guess what? I already now how it works... or do you happen to think for a split second you were the only one doing graphics for money? I also do it as long as with many people around the world, so shut up and don't talk about what you don't know. I'm immature? do you think i'm a kid that thinks i'm "hot ****"? lol, do you really think I care about what you think about me?

Like I said, I also do graphics for money but there are unique things that could turn out in big things that I wouldn't mind giving my help for free if I had the time for it. And I belive nexus will be big, if the current nexus team don't give up and work on it with motivation, then I believe we will have a great alternative to msn messenger. Of course there are priorities, but that's another story.

You could have told us that you couldn't do it for free because you are full with work and you simply don't have the time to do free stuff. I would easly understand that, as long as with everyone else I believe, but you didn't.

Xero, emphisis and so forth doesn't come out well in text, so that could be an explanation for it, but your post(s) cam across as very arrogant.

Yes, because we all know "Keep quiet when grown ups are talking" is mature*. ;)

*Note: That's sarcasm.

Xero is a great artist and I understand why he wishes to be paid for his work. We did a brief PM talk and he informed me that he would love to see my work published but currently he is working for payment for his graphic works. I understand this and respect his decision. Don't bash him just because he wants money.He's not being greedy at all, he just doesn't have the time/resources to do a free project.

Apologies aside but "Nexus is not willing to pay a skinner". Not because we are a bunch of pricks but because we don't have the resources to afford it. This is why we are looking for a good FREE design. Xero had a good one but unfortunatly he wanted money for it. He's still a good guy with awesome talent none the less.

So now that school is out, I ask again if there is any talented skinners who wish to do a skin using XML templates? For Free? If so, thank you very much. You would contribute a lot to this project.

[black.ops]

Eh, I can provide a design, but any coding/actual skinning will be up to someone else.

Tell me if you are interested and I'll start on something.

[_I am Reptar]

Is this app still in the making?

[Vice]

The skin design intrigues me, can you go into more detail on how the skinning engine will be implemented, I understand the XML will specify where images buttons etc will be placed and how they will react but how will the resources be stored for the program to access, in a property .extension package or in a folder where all images can be viewed and re-used by other people?

I may be the lead designer on the Nova Project but, Nexus interests me also.

[Eli]

I think what it's going to be is a folder where all files are viewable for easy skinning by users. I haven't been able to talk to Lee in a while but I'll try and talk to him this weekend to see how it would be designed.

I thought of the idea for XML skinning cause I want to see skins for this get as unique as the ones for Winamp (if possible)

Reality check buddy: you're 17.

[3Cube]

Got nothing to do tonight so I thought I would come up with a skin idea. I really like how far Nexus has come along.

[black.ops]

Another try, mix of 3cube's concept and an older concept of my own.

[black.ops]

Too late to edit, but I made a change..

[f0vela]

Nice Designs. :D :woot: :woot: :cool:

[black.ops]

I did and everyone ignored it?

I don't think that the skin has to be different, it has to be userfriendly and be able to match any theme.

[ProclaimDragon]

this all concepts look like all the same and not much of a change from the actual nexus skin, why not try and make something new and different?

[Kreuger]

3cube seems to have the best new concept idea, In my opinion. Although I have to ask, where will the personal message show on your list? Also, will Nexus support contact renaming?

[Alex Suraci]

They're both excellent, but I'm liking Blax's the best. :)

they all look the same to me. they don't ned to be very different but the structure is always the same, why do you stick to that? just because the first skin came out that way, doesn't mean you need to do it exactly the same way for nexus to work. though, it's your skin, you do it as you wish.

Xero's concept had some great ideas on it, we don't need to rip off the design and i'm not saying to do it cause that would be wrong, but we could get some inspiration from it I guess.

that's what I think.
