Current one
Had a much better DXHR themes desktop on the old PC, but backups were lost in the meantime, so this rainmeter skin just got left half finished, while still having to add RAM, SWAP, bandwidth usage, IPs and several other widgets.

Looking real good.

Yes, both. Rainmeter is quite a simple tool to use since it's scripting languange is simpler than HTML. Though coding the whole skin might get tedious, so i usually end up taking different widgets from different themes and modify their colors and fonts to fit as a single theme.

I by far prefer the old one you had. Its splendid work. And the whole thing just fits better together.

I know, I was hyped about DXHR like a drooling fanboy back then. This one i currently have is there just so don't have to open task manager to check the CPU usage. Speaking of which, I could start working on a new theme.

New wallpaper.

I'll be looking forward to it then. And yea I know the feeling, thats what happened to my own when I got my new laptop. Whole day spent tinkering.

Yey \(^.^)/

Damn, I would be worried that he'll reach out and cut off my head But the icons deserve a box or something, as you've taken the time to fit the start button to the theme I believe you should do the same for the rest.

 

[Rheiko]

i don't know how.. :3 lol

 

[Adiktuz]

wow... a customized start button... looks cool...

Keeping the SAO theme going:

finally learned how to make a window form's background transparent...

WIP of my customized desktop

this is on my office comp btw... I'll be removing the desktop icons when this is finished

 

[Rheiko]

wow, it looks cool *.*

 

[Adiktuz]

I'm still planning on what to add, and how I'd go with the programs... maybe an SAO style submenus, but I don't know if I can create icons that will fit... XD... plus I cannot change the taskbar, at least IDK how or if it can even be done in VB...

 

[Velmarshal]

There is a windows 7 theme editor which can replace all visual assets of the windows 7, but take note, dont fiddle around with control panel background, I managed to corrupt my account data that way. xD

 

[Adiktuz]

I need something that is open source so that I can learn how they did it because I'm making my own program for this...

 

[RED BARON]

i don't know how.. :3 lol

Well you could draw your own icons and the is programs for it (in regards to boxes) like RocketDock which you can then use to design your own widget with. There is also a program to hide icons until that part of the screen is selected or hovered above.

It's that time of year where it's not yet warm enough to bust out my summer desktops, but also not time for Winter, either.

 

[Velmarshal]

I just stopped bothering with rainmeter out of lack of time so im just using the default skin. (Also that's reskinned Win7)

You say that until you find reliability inside aesthetics.

So just guessing that you are also anxiously awaiting the next game Also whats up with the text for those word documents?

 

[Deolrin]

It's in Hebrew. Schoolwork and stuff. It's just there so I won't forget about it.
Yeah, I'm interested to see what they pull off. Would be nice if they tried to make an RTS.

Hehe, well I would prefer to have both But its funny how the Hebrew reminds me of the text in SC2 (at least I believe that was where I saw it)

I like to keep it simple these days. All my modelling programms in the task bar so I have quick access to them.

 

[Deleted member 219079]

Nice wallpaper !

So happy to see other taskbar/icons bars to keep the stuff under control. A fairly clean and controlled desktop space looks so much better than an overcrowded one.

Best one in this thread.

Man, I really need to clear some crap off my desktop xD

Jokemaster... what program did you use?

 

[Ironside]

Seems like rainmeter to me.

 

[Velmarshal]

YEah its rainmeter

 

[JokeMaster]

Rainmeter with Enigma skin, a bit customized. After i learned how to configure it i can use a pc without it.
