Thank You HG!

Ok everyone. This is it. The moment of truth! I just recieved "after much anticipation" the theme, widgets and all!

What am I waiting for. Ok time to go install everything and see what happens. I will be back to post once I have officially got it all working. This is the golden moment. The minute you have it. Right before you install it. The best feeling. What an accomplishment. Ok, I cant stand it anymore. Time to set it up. I'll be back.

Kona...the thing about LS is that it is a whole shell....and is highly configurable to anyones whim.

When a theme is complete...eg the recent Mac OSX one....it can have 500 or more files involved, making it a significant effort on the part of the skinner/themer....and generally well worth waiting for.

Feel free to stick with your Explorer....[mediocrity suits you]....and leave the weirdos to their alternate shells....

'Wakes up, thinks it was a dream. Then boots up the PC and see's Turtle Soup 2 running. '

What a great morning. Well everything is up and running and I couldnt be happier.
Im so pleased. It was so worth the wait. HG was even nice enough to walk me thru some editing to ensure it was working at %100. The beetle clock is one of my fav's by the way. Now I look forward to a day filled with Customizing.

What a great conclusion to this thread.
Everything has happened just as I imagined and now the theme is installed and running fine. What a day. What a 6 months! What a website!

Well Im sure I will be back here to post more. Qestions and all. Plus, I hear there is a WB in the making.
cant wait to get my hands on that. Guess that is where I will focus my attention now.

I still cant believe it's on my PC.

What a day!

Thanks HG, I knew I could count on you BTW, what else besides LS do you have? Sysmetrix or rainlendar? When it comes to this theme, I'd take anything! Ever since I saw your screenshot way back when.....I've wanted this.......thanks buddy!!Let me know and I'll give you my email(unless you still have it)

Jafo, I believe it's uncharted territory for alot of us, maybe one day.....I will venture into the "unknown" and try LS, as I'm sure it is far better than Explorer and all it's issues

in the theme theres a DX weather object and a DX calendar. the beetle clock is a sysmetrix skin...i may in time port the whole LS theme over to a DX theme...

Any chance you can also send me the 1280x1024 version also?
Looks like my new LCD monitor supports that size.

One on each monitor.


Oh, while I was playing last night. The way you showed me. I made dupicates of the widgets and system metrix. Now I also have blue versions.

This is great!

Well,

I really like the theme more and more. It's really spectacular.

I managed to get the Widgets and System Metrix blue, is there a way to easily convert the LS theme to look blue like I have heard you talk about, or is that more complicated to do?

you have to change all the images to blue in the images folder. if you hue shift the green to blue tho.. you will have to recolor any "magic pink" back to pink... the pink in the images is the "transparent" color.

HG

any chance that you can send me a blue version of the higher resolution along with the regular color when you send it to me?

That would make my day.
How is the 1280 x 1024 version coming along anyway. Im looking forward to it.

Thanks man,

I feel bad, I asked you to remake the resol;ution to 1024 and then I go bug you to get the higher res. Sry man. It's just that I usally use the 1024 but now that I have got the LCD screen I have found myself using the higher res.

Dont feel bad thou, I have two computers. The 1024 on one and the 1280 will be on the new. I cant wait.

The blue looks really sharp on the widgets and metrix. I have even learned how to change some other things around now that you showed me how to edit objects.

Im having a blast.

One more thing

I dont mean to sound pushy or impatient. I just really like this theme. Please take your time. No rush needed. Your doing a great job. I am really enjoying everything.
If I post alot it's just because I check this thread a million times a day and get tired of seeing my last post over and over. lol

Oh no!

After using this theme for a while I have come to realize one big problem with it. This really sucks to. Who would have ever thought this would happen. I have tried several different things and yet I have noticed that the problem still exists! I did'nt notice it untill this morning when I was surfing through the wincustomize gallery's and thats when it happened. Yup, this theme that I am using is so sweet that nothing I ever find will be better. SOo, now im stuck having to use it for now on.

Ahh what a great morning.
My new avatar fits me well. Just imagine the nut is the theme....If you have seen that movie then you know what that animal went thru to keep that nut. Thats how I feel about what I had to go through to get this theme...lol

Ok, im off to class...
