You say in your notes that it's inspired by akka and amadme ss. Link to the akka ss?

Thank you.

akka says:

you should turn off cleartype :x that aside, this is rad. love the clist especially. the menu bars are nicely detailed, too. great stuff.

and, i can't find my screenshot. it was in its infancy though, and pretty underdeveloped.

perfect screenshot. the only thing i don't like is the mix of pixel- and smooth fonts.

Thu, Feb 7th at 10:34am (10 months ago)

i experimented turning off cleartipe and didnt saw good changes (maybe because of my monitor contrast) and the other smoth fonts becamed bad looking, so cleartype on again:)

thank you

but not that it makes any difference, if you can't see it anyways ;x

yeah, I know, I see that way. In the shot there are places with cleartype on and cleartype off(like the litestep and most of the images), the thing that made me decide to not turn cleartype "on" in windows visualization is that the difference between those 2 fonts without zoom doesnt appear that visible to me, so it didnt seem valuable to compromise the other smooth fonts.

You should just finish it, bet a lot of people like it. I just installed LiteStep (after not using it for years) and browsed the available skins, this one really attracted my eye.
Using the Sandwich style now =)

very nice work! i agree with kowoolo about the fonts. shame about the popup - it looks like it got the shaft when it came to the details that the rest has.

nonetheless... great screen. :)

Insane what you can do to the windows xp gui.
Probably the best ss i've seen submitted since quite some time.

thank you!

about the popup, I really like when the popup is different style from the rest but still fits... This was the popup that I tryed that I feel to fit the best, btw the popup idea was originally by akka in his ss.
