Or at least large view this, the thumbnail looks horrible. =/

I wanted to try a couple different things I myself had never done before. I had never done a 3DCC with a different window color. I thought it looked weird at first, but now I'm used to it. I've never used any thing with a 3 pixel border before. I've never used my tray vertically, the same with the remote. And I've never used this font before.

Now this screen shot was inspired by Aero's screen shot titled Compliance. () Even know I hadn't done any thing quite like that. I really liked the popup, the different colored borders and inside. So I decided to do some thing like that with different colors and a different popup. I think it turned out darn good. =)

And if you'll notice at the bottom left hand side of the screen shot it says Mockup. I had wanted to do a song info box in Litestep to show the album cover artist title, and album. I tried to follow Mojo's tutorial on getting Foobar to output to LS. I failed miserably I think. I'm not quite sure what I was doing wrong, but it wouldn't show up at all. Maybe some time I'll try to do it again, but I'm not sure I'll ever get that thing to work.

One more thing, I wonder if any of you happen to know why I couldn't get my icon to show correctly in Miranda. I made an icon to finish off the tray titled "IM" so it'd all be text. And it messed up the colors and made it smaller so it looked like crap. Also I would like to know how every one changes their tray icon with out changing the icons in the list. I think I'm changing it the hard/wrong way.

Any ways here's the usual notes.

3DCC: Retrograde by me.
Colorpad: Retrograde by me.
Foobar: Config/buttons by me.
Icons: Blank Shell32.dll by me.
Litestep: Retrograde by me.
QuickNotes: Retrograde by me.
Tray Icons: FB and CP by me.
Wall: Retrograde Twilight by Robotoverflow, re-colored by me.

They are in the screen shot as well.

Update:

It may not be worth updating. But dang it I wanted that matching arrow in my Firefox. =P I edited the Swis721 font to include the arrow.

	report antimatter says: You're right, it is very red. But damned if I don't like it, a lot, even. Looks very much like something I would use. Nice job :) Thu, Oct 14th at 10:30pm (8 years ago)
	report Pyro_ says: Antimatter, It is the most red I've used yet. Thank you very much. =D Stryder, I do like this shade of red. Not to bright, not to dark. And the black part on the windows would really be extremely dark grey I think. And thank you. Moskow, I know not every one likes red. But Thanks a lot. ...The Shelby GT500 is amongst the greatest looking cars in the world as far as I'm concerned. =D BlackLotus, Heh, thanks. FrostedFlames, What about the rest of the desktop? Heyjoe, Thank you. Glad ya like the LS theme. All though know the original idea is from Aero. And even if I did release an LS theme. I don't know if people would like the fact that I'm using OTS1. Xrance, Hah, glad you like it as well. Quintessence, If you'll notice the notes for the screen shot it's the name of the wallpaper. Xed More like ugh you again. Funny how every one who comments on screen shots and gives bad reviews has nothing to back it up with. I've checked your profile, all you do is leave bad reviews on every ones work. Do ya know what they call people like you? TROLLS. Yes how about YOU give it up already. Either submit a ground breaking any thing or leave. Qoa, I tried to pick a dark shade of red. It doesn't seem to hurt my eyes. Thanks for the props. =P Thu, Oct 14th at 10:32pm (8 years ago)
