Artist Notes

taking a lot of inspiration from ~yukihatsu’s mac shots, i like the simplicity mainly.

theme: vitae SL by ~bl4ck-17
wall: appows work by ~novoo
bowtie: clean 2.0 by ~zerroeffect
icons: maji angel by jonas rask

watching arrested development, greatest show ever.
the guitar in the picture is a benedetto bambino with burl top, aka the guitar i’d gladly give a kidney for.

ask if you have any other questions.

Excellent, excellent! Much better evilmnky! Loving the colour. Good choice of colour on the Apple swap. I love Vitae. My next suggestions: Lose the drop shadow on the GeekTool, it will look far better without it – occasionally the font will look unaliased, but imo it’s a worthwhile trade-off. Also, the GeekTool placement bugs me. Unless there’s some stylistic thing going on with it I prefer my plain old simple clocks in the menubar. Fuzzy clock might have looked good here. Experiment with Finder window backgrounds. Good choice of BowTie. For ultimate font-matching, make GT your system font, mod the css of BowTie for the same end. Not a fan of folders+glyphs for the sidebar icons, try and find ones that suit that are just glyphs, imo. Not loving the HD icons.
Also, I still don’t like Calibri lol.

In summary, excellent progress! :) I hope I haven’t come across too harshly.

edit

Yeah but the BowTie’s shadow has less radius, sticks out less. It’s a real shame that GT treats the font differently when it’s with or without the shadow, and it’s a shame that the shadow isn’t customisable. Yeah minium2’s are nice, but they go better with a black/dark/grey window theme.

@chimpy: not at all! i appreciate all the tips, always gives me something new to work on! also, i’ve tried taking off the font shadow on GT, but it just looks too rough, especially in comparison to the bowtie skin, which has the font shadow. also, i already changed the icons to minium 2, i’m always changing and modding. :P

Clean and comfy. Looks like a very pleasant working environment, but lacking interestingness in style.
