Artist's Note

This sub is my very first 'real' SS.

Inspired by the 'Poor Quality subs' message board, I began customizing my desktop since last night with full intentions, not the 5 minutes ones.

While searching, I found out that most themes that were highly customized seemed to 'hurt' me eyes (no offense), so in the end I searched for the most effective and eye-pleasing apps I can get.

The result: personally very eye-pleasing and still has a high level of usability.

I hope I'm going the right way to the 'quality' customizations. please comment and I highly appreciate suggestions of what I can do more in this simple SS.

Thank you :)

Wallpapers: Color - modified axii Promo pack
Tuned to Twelve and Stolen Dreams
Winamp 5: Invicta by Razmansix w/ yaXay.com scheme
StyleXP: AikonXP (default StyleXP skinpack)
Y'z toolbar: Milk by cdbryan
Y'z shadow
Rainmeter: Rewind Spectre by moshi
Rainlendar: PlexiGlass by miniman - color modified
Post-it Notes Lite
Cursors: Grounation by moshi

Notes:
I like the default AikonXP style for some reason, but basically the style is simple white/gray on calm blue.
I like to position certain apps accordingly so it matches the wall, kinda my thing.... :)
I included a mugshot of my webcam just to illustrate how the wall seem to connect even outside of my computer sometimes.

Thank you for reading this little babble.

PS: I can't seem to upload the original size of the SS so I've resized it to 1600px

2 monitors actually, a 21" and a 15". I found some matching ones but I still prefer AikonXP because it is easy on my eyes. Thanks for the comment, I'll keep looking for a better taskbar style. hmmm or maybe I can reshack AikonXP to a more blue shade-like. UPDATE: hey! what the? aw dammit, forgot to change the icons... lol thanks for reminding caesar :)
