Special post: Rainbow Pass-It-On 2 - Icon Showcase!

2023-01-17T11:34:10Z

Posted by: luminousdaze

I needed to view the icons in an organized table & DW scrapbook images do not display offsite in the table generators, so I put together a table with all the icons in chronological order. Since I had it halfway done I made a showcase table of all the beautiful entries & creator names in a rainbow row!
(I should have the voting posts up by tomorrow.)

Next challenge poll question

2022-12-11T21:50:28Z

Posted by: luminousdaze

Since I don't think having a challenge close on Xmas weekend is a good idea for getting much participation, the next challenge will have to run about three weeks. This gives us chance to make more icons!
But should we do a set challenge?

Please answer the poll, and if you want to leave me comments, like if you have any ideas for the size of an icon set you would like to make (five, seven etc. if any).

The three icon set would be one related theme (TBA) and you could make two sets. But you'd have to make three icons to enter the challenge. A regular challenge would have no minimum, but may have more than five (TBD).

View Poll: #28007

Dec 16th Edit: The icon trio set thing we can do next year. Sorry to disappoint anyone. If anyone wants to do a specific kind of icon trio leave me a comment. I only have two ideas myself.

Challenge 153 is now closed. ⌛ I'll get the voting & new challenge up soon.
If you like color palette rounds and missed it, don't worry, we'll have more single color palette challenges soon.
I think I've been leaving them out too much.

Speaking of colors, I changed the layout's main page colors recently, after a whole year of all mauves and purples.
Credit for the new color scheme inspo goes to Colorpalettes.net for this beachy keen aquatic color palette. And, I changed the link hover style from dots to wavy!
I hope members enjoy the new look for posting more entries in the future!
The colors are sort of less high contrast than before, so if any part of the main page or sidebar is too hard to read, let me know, I can adjust it. Comment pages are still DW default.

PS. I finally got the fonts on the tags & archive page to match the main entry pages! You may not see any changes if you don't have the Candara (Windows) font.

Challenge 127 Pumpkin Patch - Updates

Challenge 127: Pumpkin Patch
(Pick-A-Pumpkin-Palette & Fun with Fonts)

I extended the challenge by one week it now ends at the date below - since this will be iconthat's autumn and/or Halloween challenge.

New deadline: Thursday, October 29, 2020 at 11:59pm [PDST]

Also, I added two more fonts of different, more elegant, styles to the challenge post & added another novelty font - I went to install the Nightmare drippy one but it's one of those blank character demos which I can't stand - so I added one that's a full set. 🎃

Challenge 114 is now closed. I'll post the voting soon and a new challenge should appear in a few days.

Does anyone have any opinions on whether we should have a 2019 review challenge? It wouldn't have a specific design theme or palette, but it would be only for films,TV episodes/series, music, celeb images or game images from 2019. Similar to Challenge 94 but more strict in that it would have to be things that first premiered in 2019. Older TV series would be allowed only there were new episodes during 2019.
Please let me know in the comments below if you have any opinions on this idea. Comments are not screened for members.
I'm not invested either way so if you don't like the idea it's fine to tell me. :)
Thanks!

Posted by: timetobegin

Hello, as you may have notice this comm has gone many many months (ok years) with no interaction. However Dreamwith icon community seems to be a bit on the rise, and i though i would try and ressurect it. Shortly, voting for the current challenge will be posted, and then i will post a new challenge.

However, promotion would be amazing and feel free to use the following code to promote:

HELLO EVERYONE

Firstly, a big huge thankyou to everyone who participates here, i'm really happy with the results each week and the diverse winners and how great you all are!!!! A+++ all around, really.

Secondly, I'd love to get more members, so if you are able to drag some people here that would be great. Here is a banner you are welcome to use (and in a textbox for easy copy/paste!) :D

Thirdly, The comm has had a bit of a revamp, with a new layout, header, profile & icon! I am not 100% sold on the colour scheme just yet, but overall i'm pretty happy with it. If you find that you can no longer find things, please let me know - i removed the tags from the side because there were just so many! I can add links to the sidebar though as needed.

HAVE A GREAT DAY AND DON'T FORGET TO ENTER THE CURRENT CHALLENGE
