Welcome to my user page!

Who am I? Well I'm still looking into that. I've been in Second Life since 10/24/2007. I have an in-world store where I sell various things which are usually of the silly type. There are a few things that are so called 'normal' though. Hope you'll stop by and take a peek if you have time. I will leave a slurl once I'm done with this latest move. Currently everything is picked up. You can still check out xstreet though. The name of my store in-world is The Rabidd Tree, or otherwise called TRT. You can find it by going to http://slurl.com/secondlife/Caravane/78/32/24

I enjoy experimenting sometimes and when viewer 2 came out there were quite a few things I didn't care for. Lack of tools, or in some cases where some tools were moved to that I couldn't find. Anyhow, I came across the user skins here in the wiki so I tried one. Then I got into an experimental mood and started doing one of my own. OMG the various files the Second Life viewer uses is unreal. I had no clue, and didn't know about xml files until I began my version of a viewer 2 skin. Also thank goodness other users of Second Life figured out how to put some of the missing buttons back into the viewer. There are a few things I'd like to see back in viewer 2. Off the top of my head one would be the 'right click - pie', and another thing I miss is the display showing you your x,y,z location in whatever sim you're in. If there's an option where I can turn that on that I'm missing I'd be greatful if someone IM'ed me and told me where that is.

Enough babbling, below is the SL Viewer 2 re-skin that I did. If you're interested in it, be sure that you have the correct version because the files vary between versions and the wrong one will cause your viewer to completely stop in its tracks. I've also recently added a 2nd re-skin for viewer 2. This one has a purple theme to it by request from my wife. What is it with women and purple anyhow?

These 2 skins will most likely be the only skins I'll be doing. I have like 12 days before my xml editor trial runs out and I just don't have 250 dollars to buy it. Soon as I hot the lotto though I'll be right on top of it!

I can normally be reached in-world by just IM'ing me or drop a notecard if you need help or find any mistakes I've made with this re-skin. I am away/busy quite often though.

Have fun!

About

This skin was thought up to give SL Viewer 2 a brighter look for anyone that doesn't want the gray (or dark) look.
I have added a number of previously published viewer tweaks - produced by various residents and changed the overall color theme. A URL for these tweeks is also provided in the BlueSky-SL-SkinChanges.txt file included with the skin files. This skin is an attempt at giving others a little more option which could promote the use of viewer 2. I know for me a lack of options is a contributing factor for which viewer I use.
To download the Blue-Sky skin click on the link in the box on the right.
