Y/C Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 Originally posted by skitz.com Y/C, where did you obtain that background to the "Sosumi" screenshot? This wallpaper was made by me using the quantum backround and modifying it by adding an aqua button, the stripes and the message and turning it to the graphite colour in order to match with the "Sosumi Graphite" style. Here you can take it... This is the shadowless version: Aqua Graphite Shadowless and here is a version with the shadow on top of the screen: Aqua Graphite with shadow on top However, there are some other similar walls at deviantart by me you can check them at: http://yc.deviantart.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deadzombie Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 Y/C; Thanks for the compliment. Your desktops are looking awesome. An especially nice touch with the graphite quicklaunch icons on your start bar...the integrate into the theme perfectly. If I could get Skitz.com to send me his Object Bar for Susumi I think my life would be complete... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y/C Posted February 8, 2002 Share Posted February 8, 2002 Thank you Deadzombie :) Oh, I like skitz's object bar skin too! The only thing, is that I don't use object bar... So if arhra reads this: is it possible if you could make a "Sosumi" version that replaces the monotonic "Start" with the WinXP logo by one with an Apple logo? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckie Posted February 9, 2002 Author Share Posted February 9, 2002 Can you tell the differences? The first is my Windows XP machine with ObjectBar, Object Dock, About This Mac, and AquaBrowser. All are available at my Server or on AquaSoft's site. The second is a real shot of Mac OS X on Timan's machine. Duckie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y/C Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 After all this keeping going on, I decided to re-OSXise my desktop... :) I just love switching over the three greatest styles (you know 'em: Sosumi, AquaXP, Static), often... :) My new sig leads to my new desktop, which has to do with "Sosumi Graphite" of course. ;) P.S. Duckie your desktop looks cool now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're speaking to me, well apparently I like mac stuff for windows so I'm not shutting up, cause I'm not shouting, first of all, and secondly I like all of these mac threads that are posted here... Also, I love customising my windows in order to look like MacOS X. Yeah, I DO want my PC to be a Mac OSX wannabe. I don't believe that you have a problem with that..? It has been posted 1.000 times plus 1 more = 1.001 times: This IS my PC you know... This IS my desktop... And I like to share it with everyone who has similar likings with me... Originally posted by grimmanor maybe it's sad that they don't just buy a ****ing mac Yeah, I agree... It's really sad... What a pathetic person can I be to customise my desktop in order to look better... Yeah, it's really sad, cause all the macs are sooooooooo cheap... What the hell? What am I doing with these windows ****... No programs, no games nothing... Let's go and buy a damn mac to have all these immediately... KR0NiCBaKeD420 I will PM you later, cause right now I have some work to do, with full details about my desktop..!

Duckie Posted February 10, 2002 Author Share Posted February 10, 2002 OK, let's go over this again...for the stupid people who have nothing better to do than criticize... 1. I own 3 Mac's. 2. I do GUI enhancements as a hobby. 3. If I wanted your smart-@ss comments, I would have started a rant thread... :p Duckie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adster Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 hey duckie. I love your aqua screenshots, great work. Is it possible to explain a step by step as to what programs and what themes to use? I have WindowBlinds and DesktopX and ObjectBar but I dont know which themes you use. I visited your site (which I loved btw) but there were a few different themes there, and none looked like yours. So I guess what I'm asking you to do is to make a step by step on what programs you used, and how you emu'd the environment. Like how did you change the icons, what pack did you use? Do you use DesktopX? What theme for DesktopX, etc.. Thanks! P.S. I noticed you live in Orlando, so do I! UCF all the way! www.adster.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimman Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 enhancements? ok, is the dock an enhancement? no, i believe it is not... that's one thing. one more; is a laggy gui an enhancement? no, i believe that isn't either... get a grip dude... and, "as a hobby". lmao, what a reference.

Seems you have no experience to talk about skinning. I'd like to know what gui enhancement is "laggy" enough to notice. None that I know of. Nothing stardock puts on the market, nor msstyles slow the computer down enough (if at all noticeable) to not skin something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
