...do you not understand the concept of simple? The rules are right at the beginning of this thread-no huge icons, no docks, no excessive gradients. Did you read all those, and say to yourself 'i think i'm going to do the exact OPPOSITE of these rules'?

The visual style is Shinobi by KoL:

http://studiotwentyeight.com/

The icons are Snowe, running apps are Y'z Dock, Y'z Shadow, FreeShade, Samurize and Rainlendar.

To get that dark OSX desktop you have to get Stardock's ObjectBar and the skins made by Crni.

You can search for his stuff at Aqua-Soft.org ;)

Actually his WB skin is tuxedo, which is pointed out. He's at the aquaxp forums so ask him there, the media player is a mix of Foobar2000 and a samurize setup

Anyways here mine

    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      By richstad · Posted

      I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'. Slapstick is just about all Americans can understand. It's a pity, as this is the most basic of humour, that requires no thought at all. It's hilarious to watch a whole room collapse with laughter while yanks sit scratching their heads...
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
