Experimenting with this one. Trying my hand at a bunch of new functions. Desktop icons arrange in the petri dishes at the bottom. It scrolls on hover. I'm hoping to have several custom file icons.
The large molecule in the middle is the wall. I centered it on a 2560x2048 canvas so it's rez independent. That allows me to position the black icons on top of them in DX. The smaller red orb moves in a circular perspective effect. At the very least, I expect to make a few more templates from this theme.

Don't look at me,I'm in the middle of a drought.
I like it! My opinion is completely unbiased, of course.
This is gonna be Hot Diggity Dog Magnificently fantastic, can't wait till the laucnch, will be one of the first in the queue, awesome stuff, awesome
Bunch of stuff done, then I took a break. The icon menu at the bottom now supports drag and drop as well as the ability to create different menu sets.
Been trying to nail down the look of pop up menus and with a little googling, I came up mircoscope slides:
The pop up menus can be dragged to any screen border and they'll automatically dock/autohide. Drag them away from the border and they become free floating again. Also, when not docked, the menu background fades away after twenty seconds to give you this:
As you can also see, the black images on the main molecule actually do something now; they display current weather and date. Not sure what will become of the third one.
looks great ... sys stats\cpu\ram on #3?
That's what I'm leaining towards. Just have to decide which piece of CPU info is most relevant to display.
yeah, I'd lean towards cpu, seems like most everyone I know freaks on that first, btw, thats some good lookin glass u have there.
I'm droolin' over here!!!
Looks very original sViz!
this is looking pretty cool
Thanks everyone!
Several frustrating bugs and a few crashes later, and we're coming in the home stretch, now!
We've got color options (I couldn't limit myself to just one color...even if it was my favorite. ) There's 9 color mutations, something for everyone. I'll be uploading the wallpaper pack separately, otherwise it'll be one HUGE theme file. Don't think I'll do the black version, after all.
The custom icon total comes to 12: text, word, folder, ini, shortcut, url, web document, exe, image, video, audio, and everything else falls under plain document.
Added system info and ability to change the wallpaper.
Just a couple more scripts to do. Beta testing...coming soon!
Fantastic work here mate. Keep it up.
W-rest In Peace .... hehehehehe
super work sViz, keep working
Me! Me! Pick Me!!
It's beta testing day! I think I got all of the kinks worked out, but please let me know if there's anything screwy going on with the theme.
There's a screenshot with all the specs included in the zip.
BETA DOWNLOAD LINK (fyi, the site now has a 30 second wait for the dl for some reason. )
Bumpity bump of the day.
glad you but it so I got to see it
I got a script error when I ran it
There has been a script error in object "dsktp_back"
To correct the error, click "disable and edit' below
file not found
Line: 74
Code:
(not available)
move my mouse anywhere below " R E D " and I get a basic e-w resizer cursor
tried to add a new menu and lost the 'aero gadgets' short cut
but i still like it
Hmm. The first menu that loads by default is everything from your desktop. I have a hunch what it might be...do any of the shortcuts, specifically folders, on your desktop have period in their file names? This caused an error in a different project I once worked on and it might be the same catch22 here.
When you create a new menu, it will be blank, save for the My Computer shortcut. To restore the previous menu click on the menu options icon and choose it from the list.
The resizer cursor is just to indicate that moving the mouse left or right will slide the menu (if there are enough shortcuts)
as in:
.exe
.jpg
.png
.msi
yes
figured that out, but when I went back to the default it was still messed up
let me clean up my desktop....
okay
now the bar has more than 2 items
if I make a new bar and drop short cuts on it I get a scripting error
Object required: 'DesktopX.object(...)'Line: 381Code:(not available)
same one each time
and the shortcut didn't run - possibly because what a dragged down was a shortcut that had been on my desktop which I dragged into a folder - switched back to the default desktop bar - opened that folder checked the shortcut to make sure it did work, copied the link out of properties to check against the link on my created bar...
switched back to the new bar and it's blank again except for 'my computer'
for some reason, while it's running it seems to cause FF to hang when minimizing unless I right click on the taskbar to do so
but i still like it...
