July Desktop Screenshots
Thursday, July 1, 2010 by Jafo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
OK....so there's skinning 'bits' around....in the GUI....but the 'main' fun-of-the-moment is the wall....in-game shot of me [trying to] skinning planes in FSX.....and here I'm about 40 thou above Melbourne ....in a SU 47 'Berkut'.
In 15 minutes I can be buzzing over King Island...where I was born.....
Skinning in FSX is 'kinda' complicated.
Everything from XML coding to texture mapping and per-pixel editing, coding effects to activate correctly [eg. ABs]. [it's amazing how much stuff 'out there' that is clunky or missing one detail or another....and not just counting compatibility issues, either].
I hate alpha-blending.....and co-ords for gauges in a VC....it's all just too much like Litestep....you know, - complicated.....

. Great mod Jafo!
Mook's July Desktop is more sedate(d).... modded vStyler's Naked Noir (now Nakeder Noir), Wall is West Lake (China) from dA (I think), DX is Jim's Autobox. Photoshop...a project...an 'old friend'. 
[*hope you're doing better, Po'...hope you're laughing a bit].

Brian, that's sweet!!! Gotta love Mr. Paul's work. I bought that blind a while ago, and forgot that I had it! 
Doc, I see you're still protesting the start button. Well, you've got me on your side, I threw away my start button last week! I'll post a screenie later.

Thanks Glen!
Jim, is that a Decepticon emblem for a system tray expander?

Lol...no. I don't use the expander, that is an icon for Screen Calipers, a cool tool by iconico.
The blind is a WIP that I'm testing and the systray has been fixed since that screeny.

Same as last month... the only difference is that I added a spare monitor I had hanging around, for which I am using it to help me skin my first WindowBlind. EDIT... thanks to RedneckDude, now I am playing with a dual monitor manager program "DisplayFusion". Also taking advantage of DeskScapes multi-monitor setup.
