Po' Metro Desktop Theme-Testers Wanted
Thursday, June 29, 2006 by PoSmedley | Discussion: DesktopX
In case you missed my Screenshot, https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SkinID=16615&LibID=13&comments=1 I have been working on my first DesktopX Theme and I am finally ready to be brutally assaulted and flayed by anyone who is willing to test it for me. I only need a few. Leave a message here on where I can send it.
It's larger than most (4.5MB)..lots of graphics and there are some sound clips. I realize not all email accounts will move files over a certain size and that this may be a pain in the nether-region for dial-up users and I apologize. I really did try to shrink it down. Honest.

Okay.
I think...THINK...I have all the bugs worked out. Just two things, not really bugs, that I truly cannot figure out on my own.
1. How to change the screen resolution. ( Rychian, you are not the only one who has a higher resolution and I want to make it available to all) However, I use a 1024x768 image as the base, so it may be a problem. Anyone?
2. If you look at the SS (link in first post) you will see a dock. There are several. The problem is that no 2 (or more) can be open at the same time. You open one, the other closes. I didn't 'set' it to do this and can not figure out how to make it stop doing this. Anyone?
Other than those 2 things, which are minor, I am basically ready to release it. I would like to at least fix the pop-up issue. It doesn't really affect anything in general, but some testers have found it annoying and I do to. I just don't know if it can be fixed.

I just tried again. At a horkin' 5.20MB, it exceeded the file size limits and was promptly deleted upon upload.
Someday, I will have to make a theme/skin that isn't so freakin' big. I honestly don't set out to do it that way, especially with my IconPackages because I know a lot of people use dial-up. Sigh.
