phoeven Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Is there a GDK File available for 2.2, and if not when will it be released? Would be nice to have one, for re-skinning my board?As far as I can see there are some minor changes, like the background of the profile tabs? :unsure:
Sinistra Sensei Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 the GDK Will be relased on Final of IPB 2.2
phoeven Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 This might be a request than, for the guys at IPS. I would really appreciate to be able to redecorate some stuff before the final release.
.Ryan Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 Yes I would really like a FULL GDK released. I hope its in better in better condition then the other ones. Also maybe a basic skinning manaul to come with it.
Cybertimber2009 Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 .psd and .png for Adobe and Fireworks please!
Sinistra Sensei Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 and instead of one big file with all the buttons and what not but individual files loads alot fster and easy to work with.
lrusso Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 and instead of one big file with all the buttons and what not but individual files loads alot fster and easy to work with.ehh i wouldnt like that
Brandon C Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Itt should be in different options as stated, such as .png and .psd.This definitely needs to be improved upon with all updated images and released for 2.2 Final.
UBERHOST.NET Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 and instead of one big file with all the buttons and what not but individual files loads alot fster and easy to work with.Loading one file is actually faster than the combined load time of 200+ single files, but the main thing is with the single file you can work more efficiently by making changes to a number of items in one shot.
Mat Barrie Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Yeah, it's great for simple recolourations, since you can just apply the recolour effect to all layers at once.
.John. Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 It took them almost a year after the final 2.1 release to release the 2.1 GDK, so I have a feeling it won't be released at the same time as 2.2 final ;)
Mark Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Well, at the end of the day, someone, somewhere must have the psds (or whatever they were created as) for the 2.2 images - so there's no reason for them not to share
Will L. Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 the GDK Will be relased on Final of IPB 2.2what he said :rolleyes:
phoeven Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 you can work more efficiently by making changes to a number of items in one shot.How do you do that? Can you change the effects on a layer adjust to multiple other items in the psd file at once? I would really like to know how, because it's one hell of a job to change the layer effects one by one...
Luke Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 There's a 2.1 GDK? Last I heard it was only 2.0 :unsure: . The graphics themselves really haven't changed to much since 2.0.... Sure there's been additions, but not much has changed besides that....Would be nice, but I don't see it happening until 3.0.
Keven Fox Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Yeah, still a 2.x.x GDK and I figure we'll see one for 2.2 when 3.0 alpha comes.I for one will change my skin ASAP how I recommended in dark blue to differentiate 2.2 from 2.1.
Alex Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Ye there isnt a 2.1 atm, just 2.0.x, but Iguess thats because it vertally identical
squidfish Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 it would be great is there was a GDK that was suited to Paint Shop Pro :)

Digi Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 There is a 2.1 GDK. I know because MetalFrog, a member here, was hired to do it. I'd expect that it wasn't released because it was finished shortly before 2.2 went public beta. Will it (or an update "it") be released with final? Who knows....not sure where the 2 people here have heard an IPS staff member say a definite yes about this.

Who knows....not sure where the 2 people here have heard an IPS staff member say a definite yes about this.Assuming that MetalFrog did finish the GDK for 2.1, I imagine that it wouldn't take very long to update for 2.2, as only a few new images are added throughout the script.
.KX Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I'm sure if an 'official' one isn't made, then someone will unofficially make one. :P
Κeith Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I did finish it, but unfortunately, I can't release it. :)If IPS hires me to do a 2.2 GDK, I'll see if I can weasel out the rights to post the 2.1 GDK.
UBERHOST.NET Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 How do you do that? Can you change the effects on a layer adjust to multiple other items in the psd file at once? I would really like to know how, because it's one hell of a job to change the layer effects one by one...You can add a Color Balance Adjustment Layer above all the other layers, then tweak it so that the color is to your liking. When you copy a button off the ipb_gdk.psd, just Ctrl-click the adjustment layer so that it comes with the button layers. To select a button without having to find its name (for instance, "bf_new" in the top, left corner of the GDK) just tick "Auto Select Layer" on the options bar which is right below the menus in Photoshop. Now you can click on a button to select it, then drag it + the adjustment layer to a new 25px X 25px file for saving. Another thing you can do is create an instant set monochrome buttons by pressing Ctrl+1 after loading the ipb_gdk.psd file. That's just a couple of ideas, but there are many ways to skin a cat (and an IPB forum).
