You guys caught me. I'm Dazzla's secret Latin lover.

I wasn't commenting on his icons/skins/wallpapers. I was commenting on his ability to combine the elements of his UI to create something that I believe is pretty.

You don't look at his icons/skins/wallpapers but you do look at the elements of the UI he used... Last time I checkt those elements exist out of icons/skins/wallpapers etc. You're confusing me. :huh:

:ninja: Latest DT. Simple, but easy on the eyes. :ninja:

Good Grey.

Bezel Icons.

Specs below.

BTW...buy DisplayConfigX...allowed me to run my 21" displays at 1792x1334 which is way beyond the 1280x1024 they were running in before...well worth the $15.

Would it also work for my eMac? :huh:

Edit:

nm, stupid question. I just read the website ;)

Edit 2:

Just tried it and it sucks. It won't let me test any resolutions that are higher than the options I already have. Too bad, don't feel like paying for something that might work without a decent try-out.

Couldn't that break your monitor?

[Southern Patriot]

The P991 can do that resolution:o:o

585443740[/snapback]

Yeah, I was shocked too. It flickers like mad at that res though (because it's at 60 Hz), so I changed it back to 1600x1200 (at 75 or 85 Hz, I can't remember). Not bad for a flat screen Trinitron monitor that I got for free though.

You might also try SwitchRes X. It allows you to try out a little more than that, I believe.

Well, THAT woke me up! Dang that's bright!! How could you stand looking at that for more than a few minutes? You must really like green a lot.

Display Config X is NOT the same as SwitchRes...it will, given the exact timing info of your CRT, allow you to drive refresh rate/resolutions that your monitor is capable of without you having to guess the refresh rates/resolutions that are appropriate for your display. No it won't break your display as long as you dont put in incorrect timing info. I understand why you wouldnt want to pay for it at first neither did I, but after I found timing info for my display and saw that I would be topping out at 2048x1536 (card's max res)...well I just couldnt say no. Yes, it would work with your eMac, once again, as long as you know the Horizontal/vertical frequency. A good place to start for that sort of info is monitorworld.com, that is where I got my info for my three 21" displays.

EDIT: To further clarify, DisplayConfigX, given the proper timing info, creates a list of resolutions/refresh rates that will ALWAYS work (never give you a blank screen). I originally got it because AvP would switch to a refresh rate I couldnt use and thus the screen would be balnk when I tried to play. A couple other games also. This app totally prevents that by ONLY placing listings in the Monitors panel that can be utilized by your display.

Actually, it's not that bright :p

give me some response and tell me what you think

[PureLogic]

A bit too black and white for me, reminds me of the 50's. It's not really my taste. You might want to take a look at iTunes, the min, max, close + control buttons look a bit blurry.

[Senseotech]

Couple of questions; A) How do you change the menubar font, B)Did anyone get the Albook Apps icontainer to work (Candybar gave me an error saying there were no icons it recognized), and C)DigitalJames, any way I could perhaps get a link to that adium style (I first assumed it was in the ALbook pack, but alas, it isn't)
