hi there!!

here's to you the actual version of "Celluloid 180°"

(update 29Jul2007)
Celluloid 180° is now part of the Celluloid Pack (1.81MB) (http://www.zshare.net/download/2892958948e972/).
if you have downloaded the pack already from one of the other Celluloid topics, you can ignore this one.
NOTE: CD Art Display 1.0 Preview 2 Build 13 or above is required. you can get it here (http://closetosoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=341).

Extras:
- rotated case/cover
- backeffect.png
- skinned ratings with reflection and mouseover effect
- skinned toolbar with zoom effect on mouseover
- skinned progressbar (the entire right edge of the case recognized by a tiny arrow)
- all 4 textlines in use with different settings (shadow, opacity, position)
- font included in the zip

this skin actually started out as a request.
first there was an early version of "Celluloid".
then i was asked by Operator if i could do a version of it, so he would be able to place "Celluloid" to the far right of his screen.

well, when it comes to requests i always try to do my very best.
in the process of changing the text alignments and positions i got the idea where i would finally place the toolbar. the early "Celluloid" has had a horizontal one which i had set to show only on mouseover, because i wasn't really satisfied with it.
so, i designed a toolbar that i would like more and set it to always visible.
about the same time Carlos came up with a feature to have the rating.png's in any size and i thought it would look cool, if the ratings would have a reflection in front, rather than the early "flat" appearance.

i was so amazed by the result that i would like to give a big THANK YOU to Operator!! :D
"Celluloid" wouldn't look like it does today without his request.
in fact the actual appearance of "Celluloid" and "Celluloid Enthusiast" were based on this "Celluloid 180°" request.

a huge THANK YOU also goes out to Carlos, who was always interested in suggestions and did an incredible job to let my ideas sort of "come to life"!!!

thanks Carlos!! you are the master of time, space and dimension!! :D 8) :wink:
your recently added features in the forum preview 1.0 (clickable progressbar, mouseover effects for ratings and toolbar, 4th textline.... to name just a few) still gave more improvement to CAD and of course "Celluloid" and its versions.

thanks again and again and again and again again.

and again! :lol:

Thank you for this really nice update. It's really hard to decide which skin I'm gonna use. A "shuffle skins on CAD-startup"-feature would be nice [Carlos, are you reading this?] ;).

Thanks again, I love your skins!

Btw: It seems that I'm almost the only person here who places CAD in the lower right part of his Desktop :wink:

Who's blush now? :oops: :)

The fact is that you're giving an artistic touch to CAD.

Thank YOU! :D
