I will be glad to test it. It looks awesome! It's not wallpaper dependant, is it?

It's beta testing day! I switched the large wall for 1440 x 900, added the dripping animation, made some last minute tweaks, etc.
Heres the download link (follow the site instructions) -- LINK
There are quite a few features in the theme but the areas I'm most concerned about are: the drip, the start menu navigator, calendar, drag and drop menus, and weather. Let me know if anything's broke or needs improvement. Thanks again!
Jim, it works best with the theme's wall but there is an option to use your own. I'd suggest using a dark wall as some of the pop up screens aren't readable on a light background. I would have left the theme without a wall except I set DX to clear icons...which also clears the Windows wallpaper. You think I should not clear icons and upload the walls separately?

Really was hoping for 1280x800 wide screen. I guess I'll have to wait till it comes out...would've loved to have helped, sViz.

The theme itself is resolution independent, Dr. All the objects are designed to resize and reposition to fit any screen rez. 1440x900 is the same ratio as 1280x800, wouldn't that work?

See...I took 2 stupid pills instead of just one this morning. Thank G-d stupid doesn't hurt much....I'd be addicted to Morphine for years!

My screen res is 1280x800 too but I'm currently using a wall at 1920x1200. I don't see the problem, sViz ![]()

I think I know the problem, Murex. The path to the wallpaper is still set to a location on my system. I'll have to clear it before uploading next time. Once you set your wall it shouldn't bring up the error again.

As you may have noticed, I recently uploaded a DX theme with 3 substyles,thanks to a script by RomanDa. Chameleon DX has a main style, and 3 substyles. So subtyles, is no longer just windowblinds speak. You can do it as a substyle, if you want. ![]()

Hey, Quentin! Thanks.
Murex, I was afraid that might happen. I'll set it to wrap text.
Jim, I'll have to check out your theme. That sounds really cool!

Give me a link plz. this looks amazing

Xprojectd24, you should be redirected to the site filefactory.com. Once there, scroll down and click on the 'basic' download option. Enter the security code, then click on the button to download. (Yeah, I know it's a lot of hoops.)

Just one thing, ram use not correct if u have more than 2gb. Performance meters not show correctly.
So please use rabidrobot multiram script for that. ![]()
