Description
okay, it can't be denied that i'm really crazy about this psd file by ~amaeli .in fact my previous Abandon releases [link] and [link] can be pretty well considered to be some lame and foolish attempts in order to hopefully convince ~amaeli to eventually make a WindowBlinds theme from it.
anyways, ....here's yet another (and probably the last) member of the Abandon CAD2.0 skin family as you might have seen it in my coming up january screenshot already.
please note, that the skin is set (not created) to be 80% opaque, so you'd still have the ability to make it more opaque on brighter backgrounds for example.
if you like the background seen in the preview image above you can download my RooLa Walls here.
granted that you already have CD Art Display 2.0 installed, you can easily apply (install) the skin by doubleclicking the *.cskin file that's included in the zip or by simply dragging n'dropping that file onto a running CD Art Display.
i hope you'll enjoy my abandon slim....
....and please make sure to check out the great works of

Yeah, I'm learning German... Still have two courses to go, though.
+ You're welcome. =]

so, now that i get a chance for a first hand opinion....
....do you think that german is a language that's actually hard to learn?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's not very hard for me. The only hard part is remembering all the conjugations & articles (der/die/das, etc.), it's easy otherwise.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh yes, i've heard about the der/die/das issue from other people before.
i suppose the different ways of pronouncing the letter combination of "ch" can be really strange as well.

Very nice. I'm happy with your SquareOne skin, though, I'm using that with your SquareOne WP.
Love your stuff, I would be overjoyed to see some new wallpapers.
Du spricht auch Deutsch? XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, i also speak german.
in fact, i am german.
you speak german as well?
well, i'm pretty sure that there are more wallpapers to come.
although the main focus is on creating new CAD skins i sometimes need a matching background for their preview images.
so it has shown to be a nice idea (not mine initially btw) to not only release a CAD skin but the occasional wallpaper as well.
thank you very very much for your kind words.

Daaaaamn beautiful CAD skin, you sexy-ass German hunk...
If you recall, the last time you submitted an "Abandon" skin, my comment was a "little" longer...
Don't tempt me, dude, you don't know what I'm capable of when it comes to verse...
Then again, I don't know what I'm capable of...

how could i ever forget, Friedolin?
...whether they're long or short (your comments that is of course) i'm always having so much fun when reading you.
so, if at all my way of tempting you would be to create that one very skin that would knock you off your chair completely and see what your reply would be.
...and i have a feeling that the best is yet to come.
thanks for your madness and your fav, dude!

Another great skin for my No.1 application!
Great job on this one, too!
Looking at the graphics and the details, I noticed, you did everything with great care.
The only thing disturbing me a little bit, is the green case overlay.
But i understand you did it because you wanted to prevent, some covers could destroy the overall look of the skin.
Once again: Excellent work!

thanks yet again, my friend.
i always enjoy your feedback.
yeah well, the green case overlay....
...actually i've been told about this at my Abandon Otis -ThaUpright- already.
you see i have this red-green vision deficiency and i wasn't even aware of the fact that the overlay got some green toning in it.
i only copied the layer style from *amaeli 's psd and applied it on that overlay. that's it.
maybe (just maybe) we can consider this effect as being a tribute to the original artwork of *amaeli .

so here it is, a consequent sequel in your gallery, very nice style...
why don´t you make a WB on your own?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks, buddy!
well, a WB theme would be very cool, but i think creating it would be so much more work than it already is to create a CAD skin. on the other hand i never gave it a closer look, so i've actually no idea what i'd be dealing with.
one day i'll watch ^mrrste 's video tut and who knows, maybe it isn't all that difficult like i expect it to be.
we'll see.
thanks again for your kind comment.
...and thanks as well for your fav!
vielen dank, alter knabe.

sehr geil, gleich mal installiert
nur das mit den fonts funktioniert nie
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
danke!
kannst du mir genauer beschreiben, was mit den fonts nicht funktioniert?
vorweg aber erstmal ein fettes DANKE für den fav!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
kommt immer ne fehlermeldung, dass der pfad in dem ordner von dem skin, wo die fonts drin liegen sollten, nicht existiert
dann stürzt CAD ab
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmm....
....das ist ja mehr als merkwürdig.
um dies zu umgehen, könntest du CAD schliessen, die fonts in den systemfonts ordner kopieren und den "Fonts" ordner des skin danach löschen (oder woanders hin kopieren).
danach CAD wieder starten und alles sollte normal funktionieren.
ist zwar nur ne behelfslösung, aber was besseres fällt mir momentan nicht ein, sorry.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
in dem skin ordner ist ja gar kein ordner mit den fonts
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
die fonts sind da. ganz sicher.
aber nun muss ich dich erstmal mit ein paar fragen bzw. erklärungen vollballern.
also...
....ich nehme mal an, dass du CAD2beta5 verwendest.
falls nicht, dann installier das erstmal.
falls doch, dann reicht ein doppelklick auf die "abandon slim.cskin" datei (du kannst die datei auch auf das laufende CAD ziehen).
als nächstes prüft CAD ob die im skin verwendeten fonts schon in deinem system installiert sind.
falls nicht, erscheint eine abfrage, ob du die im skin enthaltenen fonts installieren willst.
du bestätigst also mit "yes" und dann werden sowohl der systemfonts ordner als auch der abandon slim "Fonts" ordner geöffnet.
dann kopierst du die fonts vom einen fenster in das andere, schliesst die ordner und klickst auf "ok".
nun sollte CAD eigentlich mit meinem skin starten.
eine andere möglichkeit ist es, die "abandon slim.cskin" datei in eine *.zip umzubenennen und die daten auf dem herkömmlichen weg zu extrahieren.
wenn du hier den weg nimmst die fonts manuell zu installieren, dann vergewissere dich bitte, dass CAD gerade nicht läuft.
also: CAD schliessen, die fonts installieren, CAD starten und den skin auswählen.
hoffe das hat geholfen.
