Description
My Submission for SSC'10. Please check out this year's entries at Pixelfuckers.org (and remember to rate my screen as wellSecond Place in SSC! Thanks to everyone who rated! Also, congrats to ~nitzua19 for placing first with his Optimum Desk !! Well done mate
-----------
I pulled an all-nighter to get this done so you guys better like it
My submission for this year's SSC.
OS | Windows 7 x64 - NFR (hehe
Litestep (incl albumart) | DNA
I'm so happy the litestep works! The white bar beneath the taskbar at the top slides up and behind the taskbar via the eject icon in the top-right. The clock scrolls up every 2 seconds to reveal the date. The little arrow to the left of the clock icon makes the tray fade in. The volume icon... (does nothing atm because the volume properties don't seem to work for win7...), the wrench icon brings up the display properties, and the box has a little dropdown menu that lets me overclock/underclock my VGA for power/battery life. Rolling over the albumart reveals a close button and the song title.
VS | Kiilki (mod) - NFR
TT | Sonar (mod)
Miranda Clist Modern | DNA - NFR
Launchy | DNA
Wallpaper/Images | Andri Elfarsson and OSX Default (slight mods) - NFR
VLC | Nothing too special...
Major thanks to Jive for releasing Zero - it would've taken me AGES to figure out how to do the weather in LS if I hadn't been able to see how you did it

Hey Mango, can you please share all the files? I really want my desktop to look like yours. I've tried to download the programs and such, but can't figure it out.

Hey - I lose most of the files in a hard drive failure I had a few weeks ago (you can read about that little episode in one of my journal entries). What parts are you having difficulty skinning? If you shoot me an e-mail at the address listed on my profile, I would be more than happy to help you out.

Nice work!
I was really excited to see that LS was working in 7. But then I noticed that I had trouble with tray icons, notifications, and most of all my NOD32's firewall dialogs not displaying properly. How's that working for you?

mangosango In reply to ptzero [2010-06-30 05:07:28 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, my tray doesn't really work either. Are you running 64-bit? That may be why. I think it's because LS is coded in 32-bit and doesn't like running with 640bit programs.

ptzero In reply to mangosango [2010-07-07 12:05:05 +0000 UTC]
Yep, running 64-bit Ultimate. Really sucks that the tray is not working, otherwise I would be using LS. As great as the new Superbar is, it just does not have the same features (and looks!) as LS. But I kinda need my tray to work, too

WONDERFUL screenshot, maybe the best I ever seen in all times!! Is TT working good for you? I have Win7 x64 too with TT, and sometimes it's giving me problems with the windows...

Honestly ... this is my favourite, non-retro shot in the entire contest so far. While not "innovative" (whatever that means), it still strikes a good balance and is very tasteful.

That 'taskbar' is just awesome. Too bad that these kind of desks are the worst for everyday use.

Izobalax [2010-06-22 19:18:18 +0000 UTC]
Almost entirely flawless, the only thing I can think of is that the taskbar is a teeny bit too far from the top of the screen. Otherwise, this is a superb LS shot. You are easily one of the best.

Wicked awesome setup Mango!
Out of curiosity, have you tried any other Popup hovers other than blue?
I don't know.the blue seems odd with all the greyscale to me.
Anyway, great shot!
