Christmas skin? Sounds interesting.
Was there not a problem last year with the snow?
I can't remember any problem. Even if the snow can't be made to work, maybe we could have the red and green, with the festive icons?
Reset your screen refresh rate to 60 MHz...voila! Christmas colours and New Years headaches. :)

Ooh, Christmas Skin!
What was the effect like? I was picturing a simple tiled animated GIF background. Did you have something more complicated?Quote:

Couldn't we get it just like an additional skin (i.e., non-default one), and whoever wants to use it, they can, if they're not bothered by having their CPU used at 100%... The skin would be made available with the attached caveat, naturally - warning people that it might use up their CPU...
Edited.
A little advice to everyone here: don't post whilst baked.
It would be optional.
unless the background is a server side resource monster.
I dont see why people couldnt be given it as an option,
Disclaimers work well.
xmas1 & xmas2 skins are available for selection in the drop-down menu, bottom left of page. Thanks TosaInu:bow:
hmmmmmmm.
I don't see xmas1 and xmas2 in that little menu... what can be wrong?~:mecry:
I've been a good boy, santa!~:rolleyes:
Liar, liar!! Burn the witch!!Quote:

no it's ugly... change it back please :san_smiley: :san_smiley: :san_smiley:
Each user can still select any skin he/she likes best.
Oh my sweet f***ing robot christ! This is great!
Wow! I really love this Christmas skin!~:thumb: ~:thumb: ~:thumb: Please keep it up till newyear's eve at least:san_wink:
Once again Tosa, great job on the skin for a second year in a row... Brilliant stuff.
the top picture is a bit large though (how much more scrolling can my mouse-wheel take?) :san_grin:
It's nice, but I'll be sick of it soon enough...
.
Cute! ~:)
.
A bit diffuse, but I might get used to it.
Very nice, but next year could it the rest of the skin be in red and green please? I feel cold enough as it is!:san_laugh:
Wow. Love the smilies. Can I keep it for all year long? :san_wink: Here in Vegas we don't have much snow to enjoy. :san_tongue:
woot, it's great !
and the concerns about it hogging the CPU are not entirely founded - it does take up some 10-12%, but I can live with that.
And thank you very much, Tosa, I really like it, and the smilies are really cool too.
:san_smiley: :san_cheesy:
nice one Tosa! :san_cool:
Was quite surprised to see the new look when logging in today.
Nice skin, Tosa. And I also see Christmas-smileys. Really nice.:san_cool:

No offense, but I'll look forward to the day this skin is removed :san_smiley:
Like the smilies though...
No offense, but I like it, then again, I like the TW games too...:san_cool:

I'm sitting here in the deep South, its cold but no snow, this skin makes me feel good - I like the color blue~:snowman:

PLEASEEE.....
(the Christmas skin)
I don't think there need to be explanation. I'm not complaining or anything. It's just my little silly observation about christmas in general and its affiliation with snow. It's true that muslims use different calendar. That calendar has less days than normal (moon) calendar people normally use. Eid[sp] doesn't get celebrated on the same date. That said, they can't associate ramadhan with snow. Not to mention that "ramadhan" is actually the name of one of the months.Quote:
Mind to explain a bit more?
The christmas skin is nice but it's too bright for my eyes.
I'll admit, I don't like the skin.
But, what I do appreciate is the administration team's attention to detail, that they'd go out of their way to get in the festive spirit by setting up a Christmas skin for users to select.
Cheers, mate. :san_smiley:
If it is technically and humanly feasible (in other words, if TosaInu won't balk at the thought of yet another gadget on the site) it might be worthwhile to explore some alternative holiday dressings.Quote:

If you dont like the skin...
Scroll all the way down to the Bottom of any page.
At the left hand corner
<----------- That side.
Is a Little scroll box, "Quick style chooser"
Chose The skin you want from there.
I usualy use Sword dojo skin,
But im using The xmas one cos its a nice change.

The lunar calendar consists of ~355 days as opposed to the ~365 of the solar one. Therefore, any given day of the lunar year matches the solar year ten days "earlier" every next year. There are 12 months in both versions of the calendar; however, lunar months last 29 or 30 days, which is determined by some complex calculations I can't tell from the memory, unlike the 28/29/30/30 days of solar months. Also, the length of a lunar month isn't the same every year, again unlike the solar month. As a result, there's no way to associate a point in or a period of a lunar year with a climate, which is a solar event, because a lunar year virtually travels the entirity of the solar year in approximately 30 solar years, due to the ~10 day difference of length between the two. :san_smiley:
As for the christmas skin, I used it for a few hours and then switched back to the RTW one because it was tiresome for my eyes. But I insist that these santa smilies remain after the season is over. :san_cool:
.
To be honest, I switched back to the RTW skin almost immediatly because it's too bright for my eyes. But it is nice that people went out of their way to create it.
Just one comment: the skin does not show up hyperlinks unless you move the mouse pointer over them. In this thread (link) I twice posted the link to the Samurai Wars forum, but nobody noticed it. Can this be changed or do I just have to make it obvious that there is a link?
No, problem. I'm not much of an artist, but adding skins is no problem (don't like to add 1,000 that no one uses though).Quote:

There seems to be a Help help Im beign opressed thread now cos of the christmas/christ thing.

Sweetie! :san_cheesy:

This is a cool skin! I'm having this one.
Ooh, this Xmass skin is neat! It would be nice if the edit box's colors contrasted slightly more, though.
Well, Jews don't really do anything resembling "decoration" on any holiday except Chanukah, where we light those candelabras in a visible place. You could still make a design out of non-decorative holiday elements, though, like matzah, lettuce, horseradish, and roast cow for Passover (and of course dreidels and latkes would have to be part of any Chanukah design).Quote:
