Star Trek skins!?

by **anarkizt** on Sat Aug 27, 2005 7:58 pm

Hi!

Seems to me that all that use xlobby should also be a trekkie( :shock:

) and am therefore sad to see that I cant find any Star Trek based skins! Imagine how cool it would be to have a Star Trek "monitor-style" skin on a touchscreen monitor!!

I decided to take things into my own hand but havent got that far and I'm not really satisfied with it either. If someone has resources of images on computer panels from star trek or maybe even an xlobby skin that i've missed I would be very gratefull!

Here are some screenshots of the skin I started develop today. (I have only been using xlobby for a couple of days so i reckon it will change a lot but...)

Comments and Critics are very welcome! (I willingly admit that it looks like crap hehe, but i'm working on it

)

Thanks for viewing.

Actually, there was one other attempt at an LCAR skin (see it here: http://www.xlobby.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1202) But like so many other preview skins it was never completed or posted for download.

Ah, Interesting! That looked pretty good. Too bad he didnt finish it.

I have found a great reference image now and i'm working on it in my spare time, hopefully it will be a finished skin sometime.

Looks good so far but i have a question ...

What are you doing up at 09:38 on a Saturday?

Just kidding, keep up the good work

Thanks! I really like your skin!

As far as the the time it is really 09.30 at night but i cant figure out how to change it to 24h display... (managed to remove the am/pm though)

A StarTrek skin would be nice(I Love StarTrek

). Another program I use is adding a StarTrek theme to it. Maybe you can grab some ideas from it.

Thanks!

I'm currently basing my skin on these images that I found googling:

And as the image a bit further down on this page: http://www.thewarfields.com/MHTheaterEquipment.htm

How strange, I was just starting a lcars skin, found this which has loads of buttons and frames, actually meant for making lcars websites. I just goggled lcars templates.
