Ruttensoft's Homescreen Designer => let's see 'em !

Because us xml-avoiders are so proud of our new creations 8)

Here's mine to celebrate today's LHF National Division 3 Play-off Semi-final between Coventry Bears and Bramley Buffaloes.

Go Bears !.

(I also support Leeds United, obviously..)

EDIT : please share your idiots' guides to incorporating the background for the analogue clock plugin without shelling out $600 for PaintShopPro or whatever...

I've done an embarassingly poor Star Wars Clone Trooper one, with a diarrhea brown colour scheme

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Will post tomorrow

Tip : don't come back from the pub and try drawing a circle by hand.

Put "clock" into Google Images :roll:

[Guest chucky.egg]

OK, no laughing at the back!

BTW I was playing with the Startup and Shutdown screens, so this might have those as well - I don't know whether I took them off successfully!

Chris, what are you using for the graphics ?

How do you put the grey shading onto the jpeg ?

[Guest chucky.egg]

The grey areas (which took about 5 seconds, as you can see) are rounded rectangles with 60% oppacity

I use Fireworks MX 2004

I don't know if I did something wrong, but the clock and alarm plugins wont work for me!

Pah!

Stu -

What are you doing your graphics in?

I could make some graphics (like faded bars etc) that you could insert into your screens if you like. Not sure if it'll work, it depends on what you're using really.

[Guest Disco Stu]

Being new to this and all, I've just been using the Paint application in Programs, Accessories with Irfanview for resizing.

I'll be thinking up a theme for my next creation in the next few days and will have a look at Fireworks MX 2004 and any other graphics software I can find.

Thanks for the offer ; I may well get back to you :)

Alarm / clock plugins : did you tick the box to install ?

[Guest scott2eyes]

If you've got it installed (I think it's a part of Microsoft Office), Microsoft Photo Editor can be a pretty useful tool to have. It should be under Microsoft Office Tools.

Here you go take a look at this one.

It is a homescreen for Derby County (RAMS) fans and uses the analogue clock plugin.
