All I want for Christmas is Windows 7 Contest

I am going to post the last version of mine today...

@Shawn

Can you make a final post early tomorrow that lists all the elgible submissions and the people who made them...this thread got out of control

Can you also list what is only allowed...people got confused and put seperate things besides the themepacks into their entries which would invalidate it

Because that some included start orb, gadget etc in theyre themes, doesnt mean that those will be invalid, since there is still a .themepack file inside. At least that's my understanding

But only the .themepack should be judged...the rules state that whatever is INSIDE the .themepack will be judged...

Start Orbs cannot be included in a .themepack so they shouldn't be judged...if gadgets are the same way than ditto

If they include a start orb, gadget, and a .themepack than only the .themepack should be judged. This is my understanding of the rules and gives most everyone a chance to submit

That still dont make them invalid as you said.
As long as there is a themepack included it's valid

I apologize for the miswording...you are correct the entry is still valid but only expect the .themepack to be judged...the extras would be erroneous

congrats to the winner

 

[jav]

Congratulations Lebon14. I like your theme (nice wallpapers, music and etc)
But I think sounds are a bit too long..
put my WaitToKillTime to 2000 (2 secs), but with your theme when I shut down my computer it tells me that explorer.exe still playing log off sound so I had to wait
But overall nice.

 

[Creer]

Any screens how winner theme looks like?
Thanks

Congrats to the winner

 

[Brink]

Hello Peter,

You can download the winning themepack from the 2nd post to see them all.

 

[Lebon14]

@jav : I know that the "Closing computer" sound is a just a little bit too long. But waiting 2sec isn't going to kill you right?

Hi everyone,
This is in reference to my Theme Pack and post number 37. I hope you all understand.
Oh boy I dont have a brain. I forgot to upload my Screen Saver.. I did not realize that. Sorry I said that I uploaded a screen saver. I was wondering why my theme was so small and everyone else was alto larger. I hope you dont mind that I and just adding the screen saver as another file. I hope I did not forget anything else. All of you you download my theme I am applies (and didnt mean to disappoint any of you.) So here a another update. Again thanks for viewing. Had to post a link to the file (its on media fire) for some reason the manage attachment does not work. Please let me know if you have any problem with getting the zip. I also cant get the theme and screen saver on the same file. Probably just me. If anyone can explain to me how to get it all in one file that would be great (I ask because I might be doing something wrong and dont know it). It would be greatly appreciated.
Screen Saver.zip

This was supposed to go along with my Signs of Christmas theme pack.

I apologize that this showed up as malware and or virus. I just uploaded this file to Virus Total again. and it showed no malware or virus. Before I submitted it to this forum I uploaded to Virus Total then also, and same results. Virus Total showed negative. I am sorry to inconvenience anyone with this as I do not want to be responsible for infecting anyones PC. To the Mods and owners of the forum if you find fault with the screen saver file Please feel free to delete this particular file from this forum. It did not show any ill effects on my PC.
This was supposed to go along with my Signs of Christmas theme pack.

On another note congratz to Lebon14 (Sébastien). Great theme well deserved, you earned it.

A very big minus because of the installer. I refuse to install anything that forces me to answer this kind of questions for installation to continue.

I agree.
I mean i have nothing against it if it's optional, but if it's required, i'd probably end up not installing it.

no one said anything about my theme!?
