Hello group,

I am programming a DockLet for network activity to replace the double computers in XP that blink red while inward/outward traffic takes place.

Now, I am pretty good at programming but lack skills in the graphic editing capabilities.

I require a DockIcon to represent net activity. Animation on this activity can be color changes such as XP uses now and will be accomplished by overlaying a mask on top of the original icon. One idea I was thinking of was having two Alien Computer cases, linked together with a cord and animating the grills in front from black to red.

Now, I have seen these type of icons here, I do not believe it is right to use other artist's creations. Are there any artists here who can make me a set to use. Rough images are ok to start with as I am far from code completion. Final art will be used when complete.

If this project works the artist's name will be included, of course, along with mine on release. When complete I will upload to WinCustomize. I am using the ObjectDock SDK if this makes a difference.

Needed:
- Main Icon (256x256)
- overlay with (for example) Alien grills off for 1st computer (Just the grills)
- overlay with Alien grills off for 2st computer
- overlay with Alien grills on for 1st computer
- overlay with Alien grills on for 2st computer

An Alien Computer is only an idea. You artists will most likely have much better thoughts on this.

I any account, I do not know what to expect in responce to this and will wait to see what transpires from this post. In the event that nothing good comes from this, I will make programmer graphics.

Thanks...
