yea... so i'm running dual monitors now and i decided it was time to port someone else's work to my computer... enter tokyo. (http://users.customize.org/_tokyo/)
i ported the vwm exactly from his screenshot, then added in a systray as i saw fit. i couldn't emulate the iconbox since ls doesn't have any modules for something like that.
i took his idea for the media player and remixed it. i tore out the balance controls because i would never mess with the balance on my speakers, then i turned the playlist into a file info box that displays all the info you could ever want from the current song. tells you the artist, song, album, song length, release date, codec, bitrate, etc. i even got it to show the current album cover (which just looks really cool). i did all of this with foo_text and xlabel/lsbox.
the miranda background/folder toggles was an idea i got just thinking about how the client works and it looks really smooth how the folder icons blend in exactly with the bar. i like it much.
i had originally made a shellwm skin to match tokyo's screenshot and it matched it perfectly, but shellwm is in slight disrepair at the moment and was more of a bitch to use than not to. if you want the shellwm skin, i'll see about publishing it.
i also made a quicknotes skin, but i don't really use quicknotes so i didn't show it. it's a nifty app for the forgetful i'm sure.
the rest is just 3dcc, a snowE.2 shell32 i made, and some fonts (Swis721 set and cure).
make sure you click the download button to see it in full 2560 x 1024 glory.
Have you thought about putting a Rainmeter clock on there? If tweaked right, you can make it look good -- I can send you a skin I made for it if you like.
I like this Mojo. I saw another version of it on the Neowin board. Basically I really want that skin for the media player. I have FB2K but I'll be damned if I can get the Looks thing to work. Did you say it was based on another skin? Any info you have on it would be well appreciated cause it is so suited for a white desktop! Nice work!

acoustick: it's part of the litestep theme. i built it with lsbox and xlabel in conjunction with a 3rd party foobar2000 plugin called foo_text.
