Artist Notes

hey

OS: Windows XP
Visual Style: Windows Classic
Wallpaper: modified image which I found on wikipedia, I think.
3DC: mod of dusk by deele

using glass2k for transparency, rest is pretty much made by me.

the litestep is a mod of this theme. I kept all the elements from the original one, just moved around all the things a little and I am using hotspotshizzle for the tray which is now in the top right corner slightly to the left (so I can still access the max min close buttons when something is in fullscreen, hope you know what I mean…)

this might look better with a pixelfont, but I don’t like pixelfonts for a daily use =(

oh and the winamp skin is still quite conceptual. maybe I’ll do some more nasty things to it another time.

hope you like!

thanks a lot for the feature :P appreciate it!

Woah. Intense! windows classic is not a visual style, it’s a windows color scheme. nonetheless, amazing shot; never seen anything like this before.

@nitzua: Windows Classic is drawn from GDI using just plain vectors. Not raw images like Visual styles do.

Visual styles were introduced with Windows XP. Even though the word “Theme” appears
in the Visual Styles API name (UxTheme API). The Windows XP visual style architecture is completely unrelated to themes, that is windows classic, windows standard, etc.

Hey. No one pulls off transparency like you. Litestep’s banging, and that wallpaper’s beautiful – mind sharing it? Love this

Really nice! Can’t stand space wallpapers though. Another WP and you’re set.

EDIT: a well deserved feature. congrats mate :D

@honsvefn: windows classic is a visual style. EDIT: ok, but that’s kinda splitting hairs…

wooohoo I found the image in the internet again

here’s the ORIGINAL image (it’s 8084×8084 px, big file; long download!!)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/48/ESO_Eagle_Nebula.jpg

and here’s the modified image I used as a wallpaper. it’s practically the same I just added some hip triangles and did the usual stuff so it looks good as a wallpaper. also, I changed the hue with styler so it looks different than on the screenshot
