Hello

Artist's Note

So at first I was just not going to enter the contest, especially because I had just subbed a shot, and had nothing new. But then I decided to put some thing together at the last minute, I didn't want to miss out on the contest. Plus I want that t-shirt! And I might have to kill the winner for it. ;) It's the one thing you can't get on eBay.

I'm running Windows Vista, and Litestep and BBLean, and the rest you should be able to identify.
Every thing but the wallpaper was made by me. There's a wee bit more details in the screen shot.

	report aakio says: Damn! That´s definitely the best Vista shot so far, i didn´t know you could run personal visual styles in Vista already. There should be added a new Vista category to the contest just for you! ps. i can help you with your Firefox url bar Sun, Apr 22nd at 02:44am (2 years ago)
	report Pyro_ says: No, no you can't run VSes yet... that's BBLean's doing, I'm using BBLeanSkin. And why yes I do think they should add a vista category just for me. =D That would be great, I keep googling and fiddling, and I'm sure it's right in front of my face. But in the mad dash (which was interrupted by my lil' bro's stealing the computer!) I haven't been able to find out how to change it. Sun, Apr 22nd at 02:59am (2 years ago)
	report kinetx says: very nice work! i like this a lot. great art too. she's gorgeous. Sun, Apr 22nd at 03:03am (2 years ago)
	report Pyro_ says: I like the art too, dunno if you assumed I did it. But Paranoidcity at DA did. Sun, Apr 22nd at 04:24am (2 years ago)
	report aMADme says: really cool for being Vista... props for that! Sun, Apr 22nd at 04:37am (2 years ago)
	report egolatra says: a beauty Sun, Apr 22nd at 04:40am (2 years ago)
	report Pyro_ says: I know I know, for being a vista shot. It could be a lot better. But not having planned on entering originally, and having limited time, and procrastinating lead me to only get this far. I had things planned to accomplish, just not in such a short amount of time.

	report Flyke says: great shot! where to find that wall? Sun, Apr 22nd at 05:32am (2 years ago)
	report Pyro_ says: I linked the image in the ingredients. "Hello by zepone" just add it to a background color and recolor it to your liking and boom you've got a wallpaper. Even the graphically challenged me managed to do that. ;) Sun, Apr 22nd at 05:37am (2 years ago)
	report akka says: what pep said. nice to see the progression of your screens as you start cracking at vista. Sun, Apr 22nd at 06:20am (2 years ago)
	report Damzk says: Even better than your previous. It's quickly getting all the unique elements that make your awesome style. Sun, Apr 22nd at 06:43am (2 years ago)
	report R I P says: big and bold. a different approach that works :) i like to see you use 'rufa' its my favorite graffiti font Sun, Apr 22nd at 06:45am (2 years ago)
	report Pyro_ says: Ooh dang that's a nice one... I was in a mad dash for a good graffiti font, I stumbled upon 'Street Soul' very quickly in google. As I had much to do I settled on that one. Sun, Apr 22nd at 06:49am (2 years ago)
	report vsm says: great setup Pyro_. Sun, Apr 22nd at 08:12am (2 years ago)
	report fate0000 says: loooooooove it. The only gripe I have is some of the text is antialiased in the bottom left and in the command prompt. Otherwise, simply stunning, every component is great. Sun, Apr 22nd at 08:41am (2 years ago)
	report Nunch says: looks great! yay vista! Sun, Apr 22nd at 10:29am (2 years ago)
	report dustkt says: damn girl...this is my favorite setup so far, which makes me feel like a liar, because i told pep his was my favorite :\| great setup gj Sun, Apr 22nd at 01:55pm (2 years ago)
	report uac marine says: Very nice, especially the colors and the wall. I just don't like the translucent windows so much. Sun, Apr 22nd at 03:37pm (2 years ago)
	report relik says: pretty sweet. :) Sun, Apr 22nd at 05:07pm (2 years ago)
	report Pyro_ says: Fate, does it antialias (not sure how to spell that) when it's super tiny? 'cause the fonts are just super tiny which is what I wanted. Marine, what translucent windows? There's only one in there. If you're referring to the fact that they're blue, I tried to contrast it as much as possible. =/ Dustkt, yay I've got your favorite setup! =) Sun, Apr 22nd at 06:37pm (2 years ago)
	report antimatter says: This is a very good execution of a not-so-good idea. I've never been a fan of the graffiti look, certainly not as it translates to desktops (though, in true hypocritical fashion, I hopped all over the 123Klan trend when it was big; ditto Fatoe. But I digress). You certainly did a great job with this, though I can't help but wonder if it'd be better sans-graffiti. Sun, Apr 22nd at 09:21pm (2 years ago)
	report Pyro_ says: Yeah I realize it wasn't the greatest idea, it just struck me at the time, and it was unique so I went with it. Tried my best within the 3 days I did it in. Sun, Apr 22nd at 10:38pm (2 years ago)
	report adz_619 says: Pyro - What is great about this is that you have incorparated proper good artwork with slick desktopmod skills! Mon, Apr 23rd at 02:29am (2 years ago)
	report uac marine says: I meant the ss notes and the ls information at the bottom left, because it seems like a bit hard to read. Everything else is nice though =) Mon, Apr 23rd at 03:06am (2 years ago)
	report Pyro_ says: Ooh ok, I meant for it to be tiny and slightly hard to read. I didn't want it to be all up in my face. Mon, Apr 23rd at 03:37am (2 years ago)
	report fate0000 says: Well its probably more like an on/off switch somewheres. I'm not sure what app you are using for those stats down there but theres probably one for that and somewhere in Vista for the command prompt. Anti aliasing can be brutal on small fonts so you generally want to turn it off for the smaller stuff (if possible). Mon, Apr 23rd at 01:34pm (2 years ago)
	report Pyro_ says: Fate, I can toggle them on and off, I'm using Litestep to display them, I didn't bother with a cmd replacement. And I don't have anti aliasing turned on a small font, it's Arial just really small. But anyways, thanks for all the comments and votes guys. =) Mon, Apr 23rd at 07:09pm (2 years ago)
	report pjdark says: if you were my wife,i would divorce you for being so damn good. Tue, Apr 24th at 10:25am (2 years ago)
	report motorist says: I like the graffiti on the right ... the rest isn't my style Thu, Apr 26th at 05:57am (2 years ago)
	report motorist says: must say i like your previous work (dark ages) ... Thu, Apr 26th at 06:01am (2 years ago)
	report craves says: this looks great, especially because it's vista. Sat, May 12th at 11:40am (2 years ago)
	report Thomax says: :O .. i haven't commented on this one! This is actully one of the best screens of all time because of the whole graffiti thing. It's right up my alley Sun, Aug 5th at 12:49pm (2 years ago)
	report Pyro_ says: How dare you?! ;P Yeah, the graffiti part was probably the most unique aspect of it. Wed, Aug 22nd at 05:15am (2 years ago)
	report wickedsanity says: This looks great! I'm really loving the colors. I'd really love your advice on skinning vista. My new laptop I got for college (through the college) is running vista. I'd gotten to know my way around XP pretty well, but I'm pretty clueless on Vista. I also need to be pretty careful, because I'd be in a ditch if I messed up the computer. Anyways, loving your Vista customizing! Tue, Sep 4th at 10:43pm (2 years ago)
