Looks like Nintendo Europe has released their Super Mario Sunshine visual style / icon suite.

They use WindowBlinds and IconPackager technology to do this.

Here's a screenshot:

You have to have a Gamecube to get these. I'm not sure if it's only applicable to Nintendo Europe or not. Will do more digging.

What do you mean, you have to have a Gamecube? Are they doing serial # verification?

Yeah, in my copy of Mario Sunshine (released today) there's a Nintendo VIP 24:7 card with a pin numnber on it, I've now got access to the theme, screensaver and players guide. I've also got 455 stars (200 for regging, 5 for the visit and 250 for Mario) :o ;) . Now, lets see if I can grab the gamecube theme...

I'm gonna install Windowblinds and this theme on Virtual PC on my Mac, that's a true test of Windowblinds performance skills ;)

Ok, Frogboy, I've downloaded the themes, they were in a zip with 3 files, "SuperMarioSunshine.sdtheme", "SuperMarioSunshine800.sdtheme" and "SuperMarioSunshine1280.sdtheme". What are these?

Heh. I also regestered my gamecube, I'm up to almost a thousand points now, they can be used to "buy" things from their site such as screensavers for PC and Mac, T-Shirt transfers, Wallpapers etc.

Aahhh, now come on.. That style is excellent. Exactly what I want to see from a professional skin. If I can get more like that tell me where, and what apps do I need??

As for Mario Sunshine VS, someone must have acidentally hosted that for a few hours inadvertantly allowing people to download it by mistake.

Hint, hint.

IM me at [email protected] if you have accidentally done this.

These are the wallpapers I have in my "treasure chest" from Nintendo as a gesture of goodwill:

I also have the Gamecube and Mario themes as well as something called "Nintendo Desktop Manager" so I guess that controls the themes.

Here's a list of the goodies I have by default:

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
