That look's amazing. Too bad I remember Litestep causing a shitload of errors . Do you access all your softwares through the Start menu?

And the calendar is from Enigma (default Rainmeter skin)

The amana² suite was recently released.
(Wallpapers, W7 Visual Style, CAD Skin, Launchy Skin, Opera Skin, TrueTransparency Skin, and of course Litestep skin)

---

I did a heavy mod amana² and got the login screen working. Amongst multiple other things.
Hooked the xTaskbar in a label so I can hide/show it and change the opacity.

I had to use a lot of workarounds and 'tricks' to get things looking good.



It'll probably be a long time before I change themes.

Looks sick, but what exactly is it? A skin for a certain software(like LiteStep or Rainmeter)?

yeah the Mod was of amana² for litestep.

The original theme doesn't have a login screen (cuz it didn't work) but mangosango sent me the prerelease that had the login screen and I got it working. I changed a buncha stuff in the theme too. not really noticeable stuff.
In my screenshots and the vid the only thing visible is Litestep

There was a whole suite released. Amana² for Rainmeter is coming but I don't know when.

Where can i find something that would replace my original Windows appearance? I want one that replaces my taskbar, start menu and windows. I looked through many Rainmeter and Litestep themes, but i found lots of those where the original Windows style would remain and there would be only those desktop gadgets and stuff. I didn't find one with a custom taskbar or anything.

Deviantart. Make sure it's compatible with your version of Windows though.

Something like this? http://minhtrimatrix.deviantart.com/art/Elune-199350232

Thanks, that one looks pretty nice. I might just get it. Is there a category for these types of themes in dA?

finished Deus Ex theme:


vidya:

Looks very nice. Are the taskbar and system tray movable? Not that familiar with litestep.

thanks. And yah.

**** the last one, I want Deus Ex theme. Bring your ass on Steam.

With some help from Shomari, finally managed to get this working and tweaked as I wanted.

New theme thats almost done.
Released
The Album Art is built from litestep cuz CAD apparently does not like Winamp. It works for the most part.
It really has nothing to do with the SONET protocol, I just liked the name.

Platik.

The date widget unfolds to show the album art from what's playing in winamp. so hot.

I like to keep my desktop in no-bullshit mode.

27" 2560x1440 monitor, by the way.

stress the top bar and the right bar... is that rainmeter?

Yes, it is, the Enigma skin. I used to have some more widgets on that, but I decided I'd like to keep things clutter-free.

has anyone tried "fences" from stardock? let me know what you think

I don't get these custom skins, what's the point?

Extra utility, I guess. On my monitor, at least, I never have anything maximized, except for my development environment, because browsers look retarded at 2560x1440. I get to see a lot of my desktop. A facebook feed, performance meters and some notes I put on there in case I need to remember something.. things like that are nice to have, since I get to look at my desktop a lot. Plus, it's not a lot of work to do, in order to get them configured.

development environment?

also i like the promiscuous folder in the bottom right midori.... pronz?

nope



just a 3rd party program for eve online.

Fences is very useful.
Download it.

I am a programmer. I use a certain set of tools to get the job done; the text editor I call "development environment". No need to go into detail, I guess. xD

i use it mainly for the "double click feature" that allows you to view or hide your icons with a double click...

also stress, do go into detail =D i wanted to be a programmer

im trying to get some idea as to a new desktop and rainmeter seems to be really the only choice, stardock is also an option but i dont want to just waste cpu...

I write kernel-level code, basically device drivers, file system filters, etc.

This code doesn't run in userspace, like most "programs" do. The screenshot I posted is from my Windows machine. I rarely write Windows drivers, though, and the only reason I actually use Windows is because I want to play Starcraft II, and my Mac can't really handle the game. Most of the work I did was for Linux. Everything is written in C, by the way. In Linux, the code is loaded as a Kernel module and then allows the Kernel to interface with physical (or virtual devices) and/or file systems. It's all simple in theory, but pretty hard to put in practice. The development environment I use is called acme. Acme is the proprietary development environment of the Plan9 operating system, but has been ported to Windows, BSD, Solaris and Linux as well. It's basically a tiling text editor, but it also offers shell integration, file system navigation and some other cool features, such as mouse chording, to do operations like cut, copy or paste. It can also be used as a mail client, but I don't really need that. acme looks like this: .
