Artist Notes

A Work-in progress.

Obvious inspiration from Skimmer.

VS | Snoheso by dmone
TrueTransparency | SEALWIP
LS | SEALWIP
CAD | SEALWIP
Launchy | Based on Gaia09
MPC | Not much changed…
Wallpaper | Waves by Benijamino

The clock is toggle-able and in litestep.

One thing I really like is the command box – it can toggle between scrolling information and accepting commands.

original mockup: on Devart

LOVE IT!

Especially the taskbar icons at the top right. Did you make them yourself? I also love how the highlights in the menus take up the whole space.

I hope this gets released! Still bummed that your SSC07 setup didn’t get to see a complete release.

Fuck you man, why must be so awesome. :D

But seriously, I love the pioneering you’re doing with flat graphics. The popup is sick.

i dig the command box and the buttons on the left of the top bar. if buttons auto-hid into the side of the screen until mouseover that’d be sick, but it might screw with the position of the tasks a little and slow things down. i think you should make the cad a part of the ls in the form of a foobar/winamp display/controller. i’m still a little undecided on the way the tray seems to work; i’d probably change it so it was just toggled by a hotkey, but that’s me personally. i’m also curious to see what the final popup will look like. this is coming along great and it’s good to see someone else branching out into making ls themes. i’ll rate it when it’s finished.

@mango: maybe when you’re done with this and feeling frisky again, you’d want to have a go at a mockup ls theme of mine? i have ideas that i’ll probably put into fruition sometime soon.

Thanks for your comments everyone :)

@ Nitz: as always, thanks for your feedback – it’s really great help. I actually spent hours trying to figure out how to get the tray to work the way I wanted to (actually, it was more like to get it to work correctly at all) – I hadn’t thought about using hotkeys. I will also integrate the CAD into the LS, although I don’t think LS supports a progress bar – I may be wrong though, I haven’t tried doing a LS music controller yet.

EDIT

@ Nitz: I’d be up for that. I’ll probably get this thing out in a few weeks and I won’t have anything to do after that.

@ split: do you know if there are any tutorials for a progress bar with lslua?

@ dmone: thanks for the advice on the command box. I just today thought of an easy way I could implement that!

very cool concept. i like the topbar very much, skimmer is an attractive app. in an ideal world i’d have the tray drag out like a drawer. i’d redisgn the clock and amp because they are unnecessarily bulky (don’t get me wrong, they look nice, but functionality/usability). a progress bar is completely possible for an amp in ls, see this theme for reference.

very cool to see you branching out with ls, it’s such a flexible platform.

Very very nice.

jive that theme uses a slider with a button handle, not a progress bar type slider like in this CAD. I never did figure out how to do that without lua

This looks pretty fantastic — and also a bit similar to a theme I’ve been working on occasionally. I hope you don’t steal my thunder if I ever show that off.

thanks for the link on DA. i tested the ls theme and it works really good. i am not a fan of the thick bars in fact but thats just a question of taste and perhaps of screen resolution. waht i really like is the idea with the command box, perhaps it wolud be nice if there is normaly displayed the time and on left cklick some other details, on right click the command box. all in all this is an very elegant, simple, useful and original ls theme that you have to release.
