Title: What is Your Favourite skin?
Post by: ylap on April 08, 2004, 04:29:00 PM
There are skins for avast! created, but what is your favourite? Petite and Petite Blue are favourites of mine, because they are small, simple, and solid. So write Your opinion too.  ::) And good luck using avast!, which can change it's look as you wish.

I have to confess to LCARS, I suspect I'm showing my age but I think it's really cool!

Completely impractical of course, it takes up half my screen, but a fantastic job.

I wouldn't say impractical... why ? My Corel Draw, my Photoshop, my SoundTracker, Fruity Loops, ReBirth etc... all of them takes up whole screen, not half of screen like my LCARS skin, and I really can't say that they are impractical. If I do something with those programs, I like to see them on my screen. BTW, try to set your screen Resolution little bit higher. On my 1024x768 rezolution LCARS takes up only around 1/4 of the screen, not half.

I must confess... I like them all... I spent so much time doing those skins (the ones made by me, of course), that there is no chance that I can hate one of those skins... I like'em all and that's it...  ;D

Cheers!

No, nothing new so far... I sent my latest skin "TERMINAL-0010" to Vlk like one and a half month ago, and still no response from him or anybody else... I sent them 3 or 4 e-mails, still nothing... so I don't know if they like my skins any more...

I mean, why bothering to make new skins, I spend so much time and everything, if they don't want to publish them ? No point...

Cheers !

No criticism of your skin intended - it was more a comment on the feebleness of my system (win95, tiny monitor etc etc). The resolution is already cranked up about as high as it will sensibly go. One day I'll buy a proper computer(upon which Avast will certainly be installed), but in the meantime it's amzing what you can do with bits and pieces of hardware you come across and the excellent range of free software out there.
 ;D

Keep up the good work Craftec!

Thank you for your work!

No problem my friend, I know what you meant. And don't be affraid to send me some comments, constructive criticism is always welcome... it will force me to make my skins even better (I hope). I also hope, that you will find better hardware (better resolution monitor) for you in the nearest future.

No problem Pavel, I know that you guys are very, very busy, I really understand what great and demanding job is involved in producing such a wonderful product as avast! is... I just was sad, 'cause I though that maybe Vlk is upset with me... So long time, no mails, no replies to my posts, questions, and it used to be on regular basis. No problem, I just have to be little more patient I believe...

Pavel, keep up good vibes my friend !

S.Z.Craftec I still love you Pirate skin, and ever thought about making a female swim suit model Avast skin.

No, no... Let's keep avast! in serious looking GUI, just as avast! is serious antivirus program...

They're all wonderful skins but I prefer the simplicity of the low res skin that's "hidden" in the skins folder.

You have to rename low res.asws to (Some Name).asws for it to show up in the Skin chooser window.

I like "Flat 'n Simple"  but I would like to see the three left-hand buttons made small like the 'lightning' button and grouped over the left pane and the other three large and over the right-hand frame.  I know that all the buttons are the size they are to accommodate the name above them.

Low res skin... That one was intended for users with low-performance machines... but, anyway, I still think it's too, too, a way too simple.

Something like this ?

Sorry, impossible... too much work to do on some skin that is already finished and what's most important - accepted from avast! users. Sorry... maybe next time...

Yeah - like that CZ.  That's OK - I still like it.  I'll watch for any new ones you come up with.
