I can make you pretty easy. do you curtains open up/down or left right

Colby,
I'd be very grateful for whatever you can do. My wife can easily tell Colby Originals from my attempts :oops:

.

I've been looking at the ones at ebay (IR remote controlled).
Plan is:
1 set left/right,
1 set center/out,
1 set up down (roller shade).

PS. If anyone has experience with these let me know. I've just asked around at HA forums as well.

Yeah it was easy, maybe these can work.

Download Them.

1 set center/out,

I dont understand.

by **Mannyman** on Thu Sep 21, 2006 11:38 pm

Wow!
Thanks.

Your example is what I meant by center-closed/outward-open.

The other set is: left-closed / right-open.
Like cutting the button in half (maybe I'll try that).

I think I covered all angles with curtain buttons. Download link above again. It has all 8 buttons (24images) Also what buttons could I make you so your wife is happy?

Colby,
I don't even have curtains, but I think it is awsome that you just whipped those up to help a fellow xlobby user increase his WAF. Good Work, and nice buttons. I have been using buttons from your blue skin since I started using xlobby and think it is great you are so willing to share.

Thanks,
Brian

You dont have curtains, I bet the neighbors are sick of you!:) Are there any buttons of mine you particularly need? Making my own buttons is only a matter of minutes, (it takes longer to pack&upload than to create) I am glad to make ones for Bluezskin users. Also its kewl to see my skin in a video. THanks

Colby,
I hate you.
But in a good way.

Admiration has turned to envy, then to raw hatred.
I wish I had your talent.

The buttons are just what I pictured but couldn't make myself.

Thanks.

If you lived near me I'd mow your lawn or at least buy you a beer.

Thanks again,
Manny

Impressive! Colby, are you using Photoshop and are you doing the buttons from scratch our do you have a lib of objects?

tnx

by **Colby** on Sat Sep 23, 2006 12:09 am

Photoshop from scratch. I just draw it outta my head. I did make a font called Xlobbydings with standard ones I use. But usually I just draw them. PS is easy sneezy.

It's great that you covered all angles as I like to mix the buttons depending on the button state.

My wife won't stop talking about you, so can you make the next set ugly please? :wink:

Last request (challenge):
Only if you have the time (1 minute it seems).
