Artist's Note

The second screenshot shows some more windows :-). The picture viewer in the upper left is Zeed and it shows an artwork by NKeo. The wallpaper is a slight mod of CLLB07 by Imrik & woweek (got the texture from http://www.theinspirationgallery.com/ ). The clock and the menu are done with Samurize. The thing in the right corner which shows my name and the numbers 1, 2, 3 written out is miranda using the axonkolor clist_modern skin by uac-marine (it's modded of course). The visual style, mpc & gehrunnerjunge logos, colorpad & winamp skins, icons are all done by me. Happy first december everyone!

That looks bloody fantastic, I love it. Though I wish there was a version without the black box to keep your flow better.

this is really cool. there are a few things that let it down though - popup is way too plain and generic and that shutdown is very half-assed. i'm guessing that black thing is an lxcommand or launchy? doesn't really flow all that well either.

but really, apart from those things i reckon this is a winner. great job.

well the black box is a part of the wallpaper so it's not really possible for me to make a proper version without it since I don't have the .psd or .ai of it. I don't like it much either...
thanks for the comments everyone :)!

You have balls the size of grapefruits -- and I love you for it. This looks wonderful.

Forgot about the popup, it could be slicker, but eh. I knew the box was apart of the wallpaper, I should've specified I wish Imrik had done a version without it -- or in a different color. :P

wow, been a while since i saw someone with a colorpad skin in their screenshot lol. i like the heavy shadow on the clock/miranda/etc. you should get y'z shadow to emulate that on your other apps.

This is great! 100% customization at it's best. The only thing I don't like is the shutdown

loving the textures... and those icons are just utterly amazing!

the thing about texture desktops is that is really difficult and request a lot of work and imagination to get it perfect, thats why i admire akka. This one is really good, and the icons are wondefull, but not perfect in every aspect. To me the most difficult aspect in this kind of setup is the scroolbars, and I wish I could see how you manage to do them!I like it.

first I would like to thank all of you for the comments, likes and loves.
@split: I tried yz shadow but I couldn't get something that looked at least half as good as the miranda and the samurize shadow.
@Caliban___: The scrollbars look like this at the moment: http://img137.imageshack.us/my.php?image

I like this a lot. Great work on the details of the VS. By the way, if you're looking for decent stock shadows, you could try WindowsFX.

oh, thanks for the hint david. I'll try it out.

this has some alright elements to it, my favorite being the colorpad skin, but the vs is lacking a lot of areas.

-the scroll bars aren't visible, and tho they look nice in your preview, the window background clashes with the scroll background
-a start button couldhave been interesting, same with some caption buttons
-with blank caption icons you should move the caption text to justify it with the left side
