Microbe: Red (BETA)
Saturday, May 2, 2009 by sViz | Discussion: Sneak Previews
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.

Here I thought this microbe idea was too kooky. Wow, thanks everyone!
More icons:
I don't know about the gear...something's...off about it. For me, graphics are harder to do than coding. I have gained major respect for icon packager authors.
After staying up waay too late, I finally got the hover scolling thing to auto-adjust speed based on how fast you move your mouse. I'd been trying to figure that out forever.
See it in action - HERE
Contents of folders open in a pop up menu on r-click. I'm off to make more icons.

What does WIP stand for? It appeals good to me but may I ask what is this? It is really attractive, glassy and glossy.
Keep shining
