Artist's Note

Hellooo :P Here's a recent screenie of my dtop in 2007.
- It's a mix of mac os (im a mac whore since start, as some might remember ^^) and my oldschool litestep days with popup based navigation.
- The Explorer look is something fresh that poped up in my head a few days ago. Its achived by using StylerToolBar and FindeXer. The top navigation part is a StylerToolBar theme and the Links bellow it is the FindeXer part set to fit with everything. Im trying to find a way to have a split line between the explorer window and the rest but have failed so far, oh well. Will release it all together with the wb theme. If u cant wait and are a capable skinner do go ahead and use the concept on your own. I gotta say it takes away the xp feel of desktops and is quite enjoyable to use.
-WB theme is still too young for public as many elements of it don't please me yet. Need to balance/change allot before i release.
-The menu's u see in the ss are made with Objectbar. Always loved using litesteps lill menus but OB takes over the File..Edit..menu so it feels better to use. I have it set to popup close to mouse on my 5th mouse button (logitech mx310) making me move my mouse less over the screen and u can have allot of stuff in one compact place. Feels natural and gives a clean feel to it all.
-Icons are Milkanodised by RimshotDesign look em up on deviantart. very smooth.
-Font u see in the screenshot is FrancophilSans set to bold to be smoothly rendered by windows. Looks perfect on my TFT LCD display. Google for it.
-Wallpaper by me. To be released soon. So far i got 2 and a half and i want 1 or 2 more of the same theme so stay tuned for the uploads.

Oh and sorry for being dead for so long. Had some soulsearching to do.

Nice to see you back :)

Also, pretty classy looking shot, although I'm not real big on that pink.

Excellent as always. where've you been, man? Does soulsearching mean 'doing commercial work'? :-) Ha det gott! Oh, btw - this has the wow-factor. The Styler-solution rocks my socks. I think it's excellent, as stated before.

Holy cow. I was beginning to think I'd never see anything else from you, but thankfully, I was wrong. Great shot :)

I find it awesome that you even added that symbol (i don't really know the name of it) right beside "logout shinter". It's a small touch that reminisces even more the Mac feel.
Great work and neat wall. ;)

what's better than give this a 100? a 99 definitely. Cara yeah it's not worth 90.02 it desserves a bit more... why? because he made almost the 97% of the whole setup. :)

heylove says:

wtf You've got to be kidding me. I don't care who shinter is, this desktop is NOT worth 90.02. Edit I came off kind of harsh but let me explain. There's really no customizing here. A wallpaper, default icons, and a plain Mac theme. If you where anyone else everyone would be knocking the mac theme and it would have been rated a 72. It's really not fair to everyone else who actually put some time and effort into it customizing their desktop and only get a 70. That's very discouraging. I really wasn't directing my first comment towards you because all you did was submit it. It was towards the ass kissers around here.

Aww no love from heylove ^^ Constructive criticism is always welcome. Thanks for the comments ppl, glad ya like it. Yep i always try to do it all by my self. gives me more freedom and i can acually try to inovate, take on weird approaches to skins. except icons (iv made a few small ones bak in the day hehe) and fonts wich take sooo long to do and i.r not a patient man.
CeoX: nope acually i ended up soulsearching cause of commercial work and life itself. took me to hell and back. exausted me to death so i had to take time to rest and google for my soul again.
FrostedFlames: yep i agree its an interesting approach but definatly no "wow". Used to be easy to wow myself bak in the day when all this was new to us but today we've poked into every bit of windows and twisted it to death untill nothing suprises me anymore. We all need a new platform to work on, its all gettin too repeating. You can change the color of a 2d shape a gazzillion times but its still 2d. zzz me wants a flash based gui engine or zomg holograms instead of 2d dispays :):.. hawt hawt :):.... cho7: the latest findeXer build 1.1 #3 has the option to do that and more stuff. google for their site. ..olaf:yep 1920x1200 will be in it ^^

The wallpaper is neat, but not my style. The wb skin also looks interesting. Your desktops are always very unique and original, but overall this just doesn't have the "wow" factor that some of you past work has. Glad to see you back though.

I really dig the creativity of the interface in this shot, and the wall is wicked.

When you do release this wall, please, please release it in 1920x1200.
