Artist's Note

This is my first ever submission.
The VS is nothing new or special, but i hope the vertical dual screen setup makes a refreshing change. I also tried to make the foobar setup and use of window backgrounds different to everyone elses. Ive customized alot of other windows, aswell as making a samurize mini side bar (for a foobar remote and comp stats), but due to the limiting 1024x768 res for each monitor I didnt want to cram everthing in.

VS- My own
Wall- Used Hoon's "Epiphany" artwork
Foobar
Windowpaper XP
Y'z Toolbar
Y'z Shadow
Miranda
Styler
Artwork in "Pictures" Window- Heise's

I think thats everything, if ive missed anthing or forgotten to credit someone let me know.

PS: The tattoo like image behind the woman is supposed to be creamy-brown, but on some screens (eg my laptop's) it shows up as purple for some reason (which looks horrible).

I considered doing that once but it's hard to find wallpapers for that kind of setup. They need more. Good job.

and pete ross' VS looks like "Nano" which in turn looks like countless other minimalist styles, so whats your point?
Anyway, i signed up just so i could say I love this screen. keep up the good work.

Has that telltale minimal style, but it has a nice twist.

[CUSTOMIZE ONLY LETS ME WRITE ONE REVIEW, SO ALL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS I'LL ADD HERE, AND KEEP UPDATING THIS]

Thank you very much for your comments everyone and thank you J3 for featuring me!

AKKA: I might do that, but I may just save the sidebar, samurize config etc for the next screenshot I do.

SUFFOCATE: I made the VS because i wanted to try my hand at stylebuilder. As i said its nothing new or unique, but i didnt copy Pete Ross. I hadnt even heard of him until just now. I know your probably not implying anything, but i just wanted to clear that up :)

MZTRIZ & LITTLEGINZO72: its not 1 monitor, its dual screen i.e 2 monitors. Best example is to imagine 2 identical monitors with a very thin edge mounted on the wall, one above the other. Its awesome cos when your not using the comp, you can turn ur monitors into an illuminated poster :)!

TAINT3DPRINC314: I used "Windowpaper XP" to add the backgrounds to windows.

EVOBIT: Lol, I've never touched reghack, wouldnt know where to start! The picture on the foobar is actually the album art window. Instead of putting it on the sidebar, I put it at the top. Foobar automatically stretches it to fit the width of the window, so i just made an album image which was the right size and made a copy in all my music folders.

RAZAIL: Ive already explained the foobar, and for miranda I simply used the "clist_modern" plugin, which I think is on the main miranda website.

WORMGERM: Unfortunately the VS isnt even finished. Im a bit new to stylebulider and mainly did what was necessary for the screenshot. Even if it is finished, im not sure i want to release it, since its nothing new or unique at all. Just another one to add to a long line of identical looking minimal style VS'. Having said that, I dont mind sharing via email (when finished) to those who request it, but first i'd have to ask HeyLove's permission since i 'borrowed' 2 small images from "Areao4".

as hot as all that is, im curious as to how you did some of it. between the miranda mod to that player skin, its all amazing to look at, but how can we get our hands on some that? submit your VS! How can we change the windows backgrounds like that?

Looks very cool. I recognize all the deviantart names, so I'm assuming you have an account there, what is it? psypher?
I'm also curios how you changed the background of your folders, I used IESHWIZ, but it comes up with errors every now and then :(
