As I usually say -- it's customary to include screen shot notes. You linked art and such. But did not explain and define how and what you used to do this. I'm sure most are curious.

em,u right, pyro, :p,

the wallpaper i got it diectly from the link,
then the vs, at the beginning,i used it exactly the same as the retro web interface, but the line will break the color pattern below the styler tool bar (u can recognize it, if you see carefuly :p) , so i change it like now. Include a few windows hack like tip.htm.

I'm sure i'll not use it for long, but mostly, i was trying to find new things on vs, maybe next i can do a really clean one :p

i don't really get it. this is a visual style?

you only have four pixels for a frame, and there's not a folder background image because there'd be a seam.. explain how you did it a little better?

not trying to call you out or anything, just curious.

Well thank you. But I still am wondering how you accomplished those corners. But maybe you don't want to reveal your secret. ;)

hehe, i wouldn't use this, but it's a really nice example of what you can accomplish with some creativity, nicely done.

Damzk, I agree; this will never be usable, but it's definitely quite creative and shows how a boring Windows desktop can be transformed into a true work of art.

Personally, though, I would prefer something that has artistic merits, yet is still usable - what I call "living, breathing, functioning art".

i like it, but the visual style looks bulky and some of the fonts don't apply well to this style

The colour scheme seems weird but it makes a good screen. Usability is a bit hard though I guess. :P
