Artist's Note

Well, it's finally complete, or at least as far as it can be. Chiba City is a reference to a location in the fiction of William Gibson. It's haven to all sorts of dark, futuristic technology.

I would say this could have been better graphics wise, it just doesn't match how its loose and blurred on the left side, then all sharp and cluttered on the right side.... The concept is sound though, just need to harness the power....

This theme deserves a 90, but I'm giving it a 100 to balance out that gay fuck univac's rating.

Seems that author for a long time worked with raytracers... or with copy'n'paste =P... The idea is good but spoiled. Functional elements are hard-to-locate... shell must be not only cool-lookin'... but functional too...

univac says:

i find this theme very ugly, the bio-cyber look is totally gay. the only reason i give it any points is the work(not the look) on the background.

Too busy. Ver futuristic, but also hard to setup and poor readme

Love the cyberpunk look. My only gripe is that it doesn´t work in lower resolutions.

Well, actually it is an original pic, by ModusOp, it is based on a book or somethin though. From the end of the info.txt it says "All graphics included herein copyright 1998 Neovision Designs, studio 208. For public use, given unaltered distribution." So I assumed it was his own artwork.

Razor says:

Once again amusemnet did not do his homework. This background is NOT origional hence the name Chiba city.

Amusement says:

Amazing original background, shortcuts are a little hefty in ram, but the way they popup on the monitor is interesting, decent matching pops. Ratings: background design 45/45, desktop controls design (wharf, shortcuts module skins), 36/40, popups design 12/15 = total score: 93/100. Addendum for Razor's benefit: Actually Razor, I discussed what went into making this bg with ModusOp shortly after he released it (I think he used LiteWave if I remember correctly). I can guarantee you that it's completely original.

Raid is an idoit that has alot of ummm, issues. First of all he needs to get a real ISP (Or his parents do at any rate). This is a great theme! Good job keep on submiting!

My first ever LS theme. Ah, memories. Perhaps I'll go back to it some day.

fathom says:

Its a little busy for my liking, but i don't think personal preferance should play a strong role in rating themes...it tends to bring ratings down on themes that deserve better...this is a very well made theme...keep up the good work Modus....

Had to give this a better rating than Raid did since he can find nothing better to do with his time that tear people down. Chiba City is visual eye candy and a lot of people appreciate it.. i know i do. Good job modus.

Raid says:

Theme? I think not! This is one of those litestep themes that is cool merely based on a the futuristic background. This theme has the functionality of my jock strap.
