.Gavin Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Can anyone recommend a decent visual style for use by a programmer, or someone who is working on a PC all day? The only VS I have come across that fit into this category are http://b0se.deviantart.com/art/XPMC-RC3-20901820 Luna Element V5.1 Hmm XP 2.01 If there are any others then please post the links :) Much appreciated.

Mouldy Punk Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'm not really sure what you mean by a VS for use by a programmer - you can program using any VS - all it does is change how things look, not how they function. Unless you mean kinda minimalist? In which case, I use a VS called "Half Blood" - google it, I don't have time to at the moment. It's a dark, minimalist theme, which I guess is something like you're looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted December 9, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted December 9, 2008 Some reason, I always switch my dev machines to Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another I found is ClassicT which is pretty nice. Am currently using the XPMC RC3 style by B0se, which is really elegant, I just find that some of these "eye candy" visual styles, are nice to look at first, but after some use I always revert back to a more simplistic style.

Mouldy Punk Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Ah I see, in that case, my earlier recommendation should suit you. I found it on deviantart. It's elegant and simple. Probably my favourite VS at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably my favourite VS at the moment. :) Not a fan of Black VS to be honest. It is simplistic and neat. Still prefer the "ClassicT" Style and XPMC ;) Anymore for anymore??
