@Santod, I'm new to skinning...and building themes...so I'm not sure how much I can contribute. I'll post the sound files later this evening...and I'll round up some icons (for the slider)

I have the CFC Gui like you suggested...so I'll try and put those into manila files...

I'd like to contribute, but it'll be limited to my knowledge on how at this point.

Finding good icons is the hardest part of making a slider. If you find some good icons I'll make a slider, or help you if you want to learn to make it. It's really not that hard with cfcgui. Just scale images correctly and click "replace with" 68 or so times. If you want to make it yourself, you just need cfcgui and a good editor (I use GIMP 2).

F@#k yeah, I was 1589 (calibration) but my ship shut down the Cal-Lab right when I got there. I ended up in Radar/Metro working on SMQ-11, SPS-64, AN/SPA-25G, etc... along with flight deck, master at arms, divisional DCPO, and I am a Shellback and ESWS. I'm not sure there was anything that I didn't do when I was in.

That picture in my sig is one I took on the flight deck landing a CH-46 from HC-2 "Desert Ducks" during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003.

I've been looking for Icons to make a military slider. Problem is finding good ones to fit categories. I'll keep looking.

I got the taps and the hymn but im having issues finding a clear call to attention and at ease. I have a feeling im going to have to try and make those two myself.

[amw1972]

Here's the attention that I have....I have full version for Marine's Hymn, Grand Ole Flag and a bunch other stuff that I've saved for ceremonies...but they're the full song...need to take audacity to it and chop it down to size.

I'll find some icons and upload the files to here...so we can get some slider action. I have a few walls that I can contribute as well.

Oh, most if not all are Marine related...active duty here!

So maybe rather then try and find icons for a slider that are appropriate, maybe it would almost be easier to make some for it.
I haven't found any that were very good in my searches so far.

Here's a preview I came up with after much searching.
This is obviously not complete, so some tabs would need to be changed to be more visible or appropriate, and some would need to be added.
If this look is acceptable to others, I can make up the rest of the needed icons.
At that point I can pass them off to you Wahlrus, if you wanna put the slider together. Or I can finish it too, just let me know.

So keep the feedback coming guys.

here are some Marine icons that I found...they're of various sizes...got stomach flu...so was busy for a bit...

[heady4614]

I like the look of the slider. If we can at least use the flags icon for the home icon and possibly the di hat for the settings icon I think that would be amazing

[amw1972]

the drill instructor cover (hat) icon is in the .rar that i attached...i can look for and upload a couple of icons of flags later tonight....if i can't find them..i shld be able to find a picture and resize it down...and possibly change it into a .pnglP
