not loving the huge datetime thing over the wallpaper behind the image, but fairly well composed. I like the large calendar down the bottom, but I hope it’s scripted to be hidden away easily :) It’d feel cluttered if it was stuck out all the time.
The explorer window also feels a little.. stock, like you haven’t done much but swap out the icons.
Nice to see heylove’s area 0.42 getting some use still though.
Nicer, for a “verbose” setup, but I usually prefer more minimal things.
All in all, I think more customisation could have been done, especially to the theme in regards to the explorer window. The picture window would’ve been nicer with a different icon in the titlebar, and very likely with the menu cleared away as well. There are still quite a lot of stick elements present, but maybe that’s intended. It just feels half finished.
Sorry for all the criticism, as it’s mostly a preference towards minimalism and reducing clutter thing, but maybe something to think about?

EDIT: (85)
I agree that minimalism is taken too far quite often, resulting in an unusable workspace however visual clutter should be taken away at least partially. The minimalism probably comes from most deskmodders customising their own things at some point or another, and becoming annoyed about any clutter in their code, an ideal which gets extended into daily life, and especially into desktop philosophy. I know that’s at least partially what’s happened to me (compare this shot with this shot to see how my preferences have changed over a year, I’ve gone off icons and clutter, and like a more minimal look, but that’s personal I suppose, and shouldn’t come into my criticism here.

You’ve done a really nice job on this improvement, the new theme changes are very nice (the improvement of the new explorer window is amazing), and though the quicktimeish jpg logo still annoys me, this is becoming a really solid shot. font matching could be better throughout, but the development is very good (+10 points)

You’re welcome about the criticism, it’s hard to know where to start changing things sometimes.

Thanks :)

Very true statement. Preach Geti.

Sabbor, do your thing man —kudos.

I feel like there are a lot of widgets piled on here and that they’re organized haphazardly in the giant panel at the bottom. Things seem a bit clunky and could be cleaned up a bit. There also seem to be some issues here and there.

I do like the wall on this, but there’s a lot of room for improvement.
