Title: Evill, Pimp my GR!
Post by: PUNiSHER™ on August 09, 2006, 09:36:18 am
It would be cool if GR would feature a "skins" option for premium members.  Just like with other applications where we can select from a different collection of skins to change the look and appearance of GameRanger.  It would be a nice attractive feature for Premium besides the in-game-voice.......

If we could customize GR mine would look like this:

yea, i agree. People has been able to create skins for msn, ICQ, safari. Im pretty sure there is a way to do it with gameranger.

Something tells me that you guys have got way too much free time. :P

Interesting that KGB's mockup doesn't include a banner. I'm sure that was merely coincidental.. heh.

The trouble with skinning is that it can make it a lot more difficult to add/change features.

In my defence
I have 6 weeks vacation from work  ;)
As for the banner I just started cutting and pasting, using RVS 3 pics and gameranger screenshot pics (no X-fire skin was modded, made it from scratch)
The GR logo and name I added is not really placed well I know and I did not have room left to add the banner, but I'll add one in a second window if you want scott  :D
For the rest just messing around with photoshop, not making any statement  :-X  ;)

I agree with "pimping GR".  Ill be honest, if there isnt more improvment with the premium features i dont think ill get it again.  Ive bought premium 4 times, i do enjoy it...but i think we need more. Im a huge GR supporter, so dont get me wrong.   But, after paying $200 US over a 3 year period I hope GR will become more exciting very soon.   :::-/::

While I'd like GR to be pimpable, I really just want it to be fixed so we can play some lag free games.  The pimping should come when GR is almost perfect.

Here's an example of two... they are easy to get as part of a whole make over of your Desktop Look, but not just for the GR application as a stand alone.... It would be nice to be able to do it.... Evill, when you do make changes, the GR app would go back to its original skin, all we'd have to do is reinstall the skins of our choice, no big deal really!
