Object Dock background request

Published on April 17, 2006 By J. Aroche In WinCustomize Talk

Okay, I've seen, and enjoyed PHOENIXHEART's rare icon request post so we can all enjoy amazing icons from experts like PHOENIXHEART, Po'Smedley, Bandit4edu, etc... but I've seen many who request object dock backgrounds, and I would like that everyone can have a cool one to match their desktops.
I'm not that good at making them, but I know how to make them, but maybe cool designers like WebGizmos, Gooberbean28, and many other great skinners can help us out here, so if you would like one just tell us!

All we need now is some beach chairs, umbrellas, and some of those cute drinks with the little umbrellas in them! !

PS 'brushes' for palm trees?

Why stop there? Why not get NUMBER BRUSHES so you can number bits of your pictures so an UNTRAINED monkey can paint the right colour inside the lines....

What happened to plain and simple DRAWING?....

What happened to plain and simple DRAWING?

It's hard to get the palms to pose in the proper grouping (frond envy)....

Looks great Cavan1!
everytime i tried the trees keep stretching out wide.

Some of us don't have a lot of ability in that area Jafo.
For a lot of us, this type is really no different than modifying a vehicle.
How may custom cars or bikes or whatnot start out with going out to a field and digging up some ore?

I used a larger image for this than normal, 800x90, so right and left width and outsideborder left and right could be set at 75,
so inside the palm trees so they are not stretched. With large width and border values need a large image width wise. Large values
on a smaller image does not apply proper, will have blank in center of dock. Not sure how much is needed but it seems there has to be
enough of the image between width and border for it to be stretched properly.

well dang...

I had tried 500x80 or there abouts plus a lot more sizes smaller.
kept trying increasing the outside borders which didn't work and kept running
in to the blankspace in the center.

It's one picture....it shouldn't be so hard!!!!!!
