Calling Tinker (or someone with skills)

[lynchknot]

I'm making a Harley Davidson Firefox theme. The help I need is making a background that is in focus.
this is the background that I used - I need a new one - http://www.quickbase.com/up/8q9jbnau/g/rbkz/eg/va/F.png


......you've been riding the INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY for days now. The wind from your fans are blowing your hair back and there's grit on your teeth from last night's supper. Things to avoid - Hijackers, spyware,, pop-ups and potholes. But you're ok with that. You're secure. Your ride of choice? The Harley Davidson Firefox web browser

(of course I can't use the name - that's one legal department I would not want to mess with)

Buttons will be jet black (safari type) with orange image insert and toolbar flames will be in focus - and possible chrome url and search fields.

It's gorgeous LK...PLEASE let me know when it's done...Do you really think that HD would mind you putting together a Theme? Heck, They might even link to it from their official site!!

All it needs is a black custom 2001 Night Train Desktop pic to go along with it!

I'd like to get a wallpaper of a chopper from Orange county choppers (you know, those guys on TV?)- maybe with orange flames. **edit - these guys are the best: http://www.orangecountychoppers.com/choppers.php

Here's an update (url and search field have been change from this point):

Is this workable lynch?
:msncool:

[lynchknot]

That does look really nice Tinker but i'm thinking of the more traditional type flames like you see in the top of the bar on the right side - but crisp and sharp for toolbar. Here is your background in action: http://www.quickbase.com/up/8q9jbnau/g/rbma/eg/va/background2.PNG

Hint of things to come............................I hear Thunder in them blue hills....

I sure am likin that LK...a clean, dark look.

[lynchknot]

Theme available at my site now.

Issues/bugs:

1. need better flame background
2. properties dialog, other dialog, options panel - some black on black text
2. need to make bookmark manager icons

Maybe some of you can help me to fix the bugs.

[rik]

I just grabbed it...it looks good but like you said still a little work needed. O love that little wheel icon that spins around :D

[lynchknot]

Thanks, I think the throbber looks better on the left side - but i'll have to get used to it being there as I usually place it on the right.

I like both of them, but hopefully you'll find a way to work the flames back in on the HD.

[lynchknot]

JUst now fixed skull and crossbones throbber

[lynchknot]

hmmm. Blue is not easy to combine with black. This sort of reminds me of a radio tuner/cd player. Maybe i'll try to make the url and search bar look like a CD player's display.

Looks great Lynch.
You are the theme man. :D

[lynchknot]

how about this? http://server6.uploadit.org/files/lynchknot-carbon.JPG[/IMG]

[lynchknot]

Or http://server6.uploadit.org/files/lynchknot-carb2.JPG

[Dehcbad25]

I like it.
I use Firefox as my main browser at work, and at my server. I use it a lot at my computer at home, but then I don't use much my computer at home (I am barely at home anymore) :p
I 70% of the skins I had for Firebird were made by some guy called Lynchknot. Do you know him? ;)

[lynchknot]

I'm working on the search and url fields. What do you think of this? yes, I fixed the edges.

[lynchknot]

wow Tinker! I'll try them out. looks great!!!!!

[rik]

Great job Tinker...I really like the bottom one.

[lynchknot]

Wow Tinker, looks great. The only problem is I had to resize it and probably lost some sharpness. It nees to be at least 1024x100. Larger for bigger resolutions. I think this one is the one.

[SupaStar]

Yeh I like that. Fits in well.

[rik]

It does look good doesn't it?

[Tinker]

This one should be just a bit better. Give it a go and see. It is 1024x100...
