Custom SETI at Home skin for Boinc

Dunno why I didn't do this a while back,
but heres a custom SETI skin for Boinc..

Download Here

If your interested in making your own, download this template file  (svg, can be edited in Illustrator or Inkscape)

and then follow these steps:

1) make a copy of one of the existing skins.
(on windows theyre at C:\Program Files (x86)\BOINC\Skins

2) Copy it to a non C: folder so you can edit it without admin permissions.

3) Use the template file to replace your own background and logo. Save over the existing png file
eg: in the screenshot below its the file called "background_image.png

4) (you can skip this step if you like)
Open the "skin.xml" file in notepad and update all relevant links and names
eg:

5) save and close the cml file, rename this folder to your skin's name. Copy it to the Boinc skin directory, on windows - C:\Program Files (x86)\BOINC\Skins

6) exit and reopen boinc.

7) In the top menu go to View/Skin and click on your skin.

Have fun!

3December Challenge Day 26

3December Day 26: Watch.

Used Inkscape to draft the filigree and engraving at the back(using various refrences)..
Blender and Sketchfab for the rest.

    The Special Pocket Watch
    by Chaitanya Krishnan
    on Sketchfab

The engraving at the back can be customised by modifying the normal map in any image editor.

Here are some alternate engravings I created

Nazis and Piranhas

CAUTION: The following content is insensitive to Nazis.

Heres another lockscreen i created few days back.. took a little longer to get to the Play Store.. probably because the word Nazi, sent up a red flag somewhere.. anyway here it is. 

I created it using the Go Themes Factory site and Inkscape for the artwork.

Feed the Nazi to the piranha to open your lock screen. because "slide to unlock" is for wimps... You need to install Go Locker  in order to use this. You can use the Go locker settings to add your own wallpaper or use the launcher's wallpaper

To unlock your phone.. touch and drag the floating nazi to one of the swirling schools of Piranha.



Get it  here at the Android Play store.
