I just downloaded Plazmic and might make this my first theme attempt. I am an digital and RF research Electrical Engineer and most of my programing is MatLab, C, assembly, and LabView so I am not sure what I will be able to create. But I will give it a shot. I share a birthday with Dr. Seuss so I am excited about this.

OS: .109
Theme: Leopard side dock
Wouldn't a dr. seuss theme be awesome?
can someone make one?
Not sure about the other themes requested, but as an elementary school teacher, a Dr. Suess Theme would be a great way to celebrate Read Across America.
So I started this last night. I am just learning Plazmic but so far it is pretty straight forward from an electrical engineers view point. It is time consuming though. I have been trying to brain storm some icon ideas. I want to make icons that relate to the application but are inspired by items in the books. I will take any ideas or graphics that anyone has. It looks like I need a trip to the library because I only have one book of my own. Oh the places you will go.

Hey i would like to know where you make the icons, or with what program, and how you make them transparent. I am also using plazmic, and i am having trouble making the icons transparent. Also i dont know a good place to get icons from. If you can help me i would greatly appreciate it.
I use photoshop to make the png files for icons and meters. There are file size suggestions in the user manual

That's the inherent properties of a .png file. This is more of a knowing how to use photoshop issue. You basically need to create a new file with a transparent background. It is one of the options when you select File -> new. I don't have time to make a screen shot of it for you. Then you can work with just one layer or multiple layers and opacity (i.e. 70% will be see through). There are tricks to merging layers while still keeping the transparency. You will just have to play with it.
I used to be a photography for the Air Force so I have lots of photoshop experience so I may be making it sound simpler then it is. Sorry
