...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 about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
