Artist's Note

I had a mockup I've been workin' on for a while now. And today I spent what seems to be the entire day workin' on this. I went for a lighter/cleaner feel this time. I was inspired by Antimatter and Gear on this one.

Other than that everything was done by me, using ShellWM, 3DCC -- except the startpage. I wanted something simpler and aMADme's was perfect, so I modded it.

Update: Forgot to include how the caption buttons work, I knew I forgot something. The treble clef (on the left) does AlwaysOnTop. And each little thing on the music note on the right is min, max, and close.

I'm the best screenshot conversation guy there ever was. Also, great shot. Glad I could be of inspiration, though I'm dubious as to how much I really contributed.

Just about the only thing that doesn't work for me is the font.

Pyro_ says:

Thank you very much all! I meant to do a colorful shot since every time I don't people jump down my throat. But the WP fit so great, and didn't want to recolor, so it just stayed this way.

The main idea for this was the concept, it came to me while reading some sheet music (the words) and seeing the notes and lines.

aMADme, it can also do rollup, noicon and icon, besides always on top. Plus it's real easy to skin.
