There is also a great LCARS DX theme: Lcars Computer net 5.5
It unfortunatly doesn't work with all resolutions (I have 1280x800 and it doesn't work quite right)

Unfortunately I do not have the time necesary to make it res independant. With 9 pages of objects totaling over 300 objects or more *last I remember* ,it is quite an undertaking. All objects backgrounds will need to be sliced from thier perspective backgrounds, combined with their button over lays and made in to a single object then set to adjust with the resolutions. the theme would be only able to support higher resolutions as going with a lower res would mash the elements togher as at the current res the screen is already packed full.. Combined with all the animations, sound files and layered pages it is still one of the most complex DX themes to work with..
I had at one time Gotten half way thru rebuilding it with res independant elements and wave paterned button press animations to to more fully emulate a true LCARS Panel, but a Mother board crash lost the 9 months of work as it took both my hdd's out.
I have started again.. but with family and such it is slow going..
