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:

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
