Description
First of all… this is just a Windows XP Interface. It is not designed to function like Windows XP, but only for a website. It was all made with Flash and Fireworks put together – a really bad combination. One is pixel graphic and the other is vector so put together = Mess. The Start Menu is most affected.The shut down button puts the Flash to a blank screen. Press ENTER to turn it on again.
Total time spent: 5 days
Finally, copyrights. ^_^ All the coding and images are put together by me but I used the DA emoticons, so…
Windows XP Screenshots – Google Image Search
Windows XP Sounds – My computer’s C:/ drive MEDIA file.
EDIT: ABOUT ME, MUSIC PLAYER 1.0, NOTEPAD AND THE CLOCK ALL LINK INSIDE THE FLASH. THE REST OF THEM OPEN A NEW BROWSER WINDOW.

Excellent, my friend, excellent. I don't know why you said the start menu was goofed up; it looks pretty good to me!

Hmmm... It's pretty decent, and what's done is done quite well, but there seems to be quite a lack of features.
I like how you've done the icon tray especially, and the start menu is done quite nicely too, but just a couple things that bug me are that you can't move the icons around and how you cannot move or resize the notepad window.
Other than that, I think this is quite awesome.

Yeah, it's only an interface, by the way. Interfaces don't let you change the content and stuff.

Yes I'm planning it. Doubt if I'll succeed anyway. It's too complex, even for advanced Flash users to use. The JPGs and GIFs are a nightmare to change into plain texts. >_<

Awesome! You even had a "Fade to black" effect when you want to shut down.
Great attention to detail

For the pixely weirdness problem, make sure everything is aligned exactly to the pixel and only re-size the graphics in fireworks, flash will screw up anything that it has to anti-alias.

googley In reply to evisceratedlemming [2004-05-26 03:14:47 +0000 UTC]
I did exact measurements and used hard instead of anti-alias. But the more accurate I get, the more Flash screws up. I found that positioning coorinates (0.5,0.5) work best. Whole numbers have even bigger problems. But thanks for telling me that.
