I'm not much of a spriter or anything but I make stuff sometimes.

Here's a windowskin I made for my game, QC Glass:
Spoiler: ShowHide


Some screenshots:



There's a little bit of color in the wallpaper, so you can try changing the hue to get other colors like orange, green, or anything. The negative is that the reflection on the top of the wallpaper gets a bit blurry when used on big windows like the menu status screen. Anyway, enjoy ^_^



QC Glass 2. I made the reflection straight, so the problem with big windows is gone. I've reduced the brightness of the reflection, so visibility is better. I've changed the hue of the battle cursor to pure blue (instead of cyan) so that hue changes can be precise (no more pink cursors for red skin). Here it is:

Chaos Project and Hyperion Windowskin Series

I am very excited about the development of ARC. It made me realize once more what a great community this is, and how much I've learned over the many years I've been here. I felt I had to contribute something to the community, especially to the ARC project. So I sat down and finished a windowskin idea I had for ages. I present to you: The Chaos Project and Hyperion windowskin sets:

Chaos Project Windowskin Set: ShowHide

Download Chaos Project Windowskin Set

Hyperion Windowskin Set: ShowHide

Download Hyperion Windowskin Set
Download Old Version

I spent 7 hours straight on those, though I admit a lot of time was wasted in experimenting to see what looked good. I'm pretty satisfied with the results. I used Blizzard's Jewel graphic he used in the forum themes, because my main aim with these was to remind us of Chaos Project :)
And in case you were wondering about the names, they refer to:
Chaos Project: This forum
Hyperion: Nemesis's Flagship in the game "Legend of Lexima IV: Chaos Project"

I have been working on a few edits to the default battle system and it includes basic animated battlers. To test the system, I made edits to the Arshes charset to make some poses. I ended up with these:
Battle Poses: ShowHide
Attack:

On Hit:

Idle:

Item:

Skill:

Unresized standing pose


They aren't much, but I really hope more of these kind of battlers were made, you kow. I mean, truly front view battlers, so people can make something like this:
Screenshot: ShowHide


These are more to inspire similar work than actually being usable.

This is a good one, clean and neat.
Good job Fantasist!  ;)

Mightylink

nice design, reminds me of vista only good

Wow, and I thought this was an old thread when I glanced at it. O_O

That windowskin is really sleek...If the windowskin's quality is higher than the screenshot's, which it probably is, then this is awesome. Nice original take on the windowskin wallpaper, kudos to you Fantasist.

What's osu!? It's a rhythm game. Thought I should have a signature with a working rank. ;P It's now clickable!
Still Aqua's biggest fan (Or am I?).




Satoh

Fantasist, that skin is absolutely beautiful...

You should just make that bright part darker because you can't use a dark nor a bright font properly.

Unfortunately, it's almost the same as in the screenshots. That's why I've put them up, so you know the flaws too.

I know, but all that time in photoshop and I just couldn't resist >.<

Hopefully, the next iteration will be more practical. Thanks for the comments guys :)

Stretching is the biggest problem with skins.

Really it would look fine anywhere but the one panel the menu and maybe the larger shop panels...

It's easily worked around if you make a menu edit to show smaller panels(like one panel per character)

Really the only reason you can't do just about anything with skins is the stretching.

Speaking of which is there a way to rewrite the default panel info? (like to tile the background image rather than stretching? or to use a larger skin?)

There is the "stretch" property for the Window class. Set it to false and the wallpaper is tiled:
self.stretch = false


Or if you're doing it outside the window class:
@my_window = Window_Blah.new
@my_window.stretch = false


Quoteor to use a larger skin?

I don't think there's a provision for that. The whole Window class needs to be rewritten for that.

Ah, wow.. I had NO idea that was in there... I need to reexamine the windows...

Why thank you ^_^
I think now is a good time to update this with a few more skins.

I'm also moving this topic to the Database, but quietly, which in other words, no moved topic. I'm doing this because I don't want a litter of MOVED: Topic Name in the Resources Board.

I honestly say this second version is way better than the first. You have good potential to make Windowskins like Satoh, I bet.

Hey, thanks :) I'll add those pics in the main post tomorrow. And Satoh, he impressed me, really good skins. I can make good skins but I spend too much time on them. Must learn to work efficiently...

Careful... Spending too much time when you already know how to work efficiently will create awesome results... I'm just warning you. o.o; Think of CP and how much time I spent on just some small details (HOURS!).

@Fantasist: You do have access to the RTP in the Dropbox don't you?  I never remember anyone adding you yet.  If not, just say the word and you shall be invited. ;)
I am done scripting for RMXP. I will likely not offer support for even my own scripts anymore, but feel free to ask on the forum, there are plenty of other talented scripters that can help you.

Fantasist

Blizz already added me :)
I was just wondering about how to name the files. I PMed you, please check your inbox :)

Just add some number and file name like in the RTP. They are going to be reordered most probably anyway.
