This is the "Digital Revenge" desktop for Stardock's DesktopX app which I'm using. Its pretty sweet. The colour control popup can let u change the colour theme to anything really, it is toggled by a little circle next to the time. The menus on the left hand side are tabs which appear when you move the mouse to the left of the screen, there are 8 labelled there and you can customize them to put in your own icons (obviously). The Weather is up the top left , and with a bit of testing it pretty much shows all the main NZ centers, plus australian/american/british cities etc. I'm not sure where the source is from there theres a shitload, if you click the little circle to the left it expands to fill the whole top of the screen with sunrise/sunset long range forecasts for each of next 4 days, temperature (in c or f) humidity, plus lots more.

Below the weather you have some system stats. Up the top left theres computer name and your dl/ul speeds. In the middle is cpu/mem usage, and drive statistics. The right hand side has a little circle which is a popup in which you can toggle the weather, system info, and media bar at the top (which works with itunes and winamp, displaying track name etc).

Bottom right there is the date and if you click it a calendar pops up where you can scroll the months.

The final toggle to the right of the date will switch between your own wallpaper, and a dynamic wallpaper with the digital revenge logo & name, both of which also change colour with the theme (the foreground and background colours can also be changed independently).

PS: 4 buttons in the bottom left are start menu/mozilla/outlook/windows explorer (but you can set the last 3 to whatever).

thats quite nice looking indeed, well done silva!

Rocket · 9th January 2006, 13:55

got a screenie of the start menu?

fobski · 9th January 2006, 15:03

tried silvas thing.. hate it

some programmes wont recognised a right click to bring up a menu screen so uninstalled it.

start buttons just the same start button

i myself prefer stylexp themes

silva^ · 9th January 2006, 18:32

Yeh I noticed that too Fobski, itunes wont right click in the taskbar, but thats no biggie really. And yeh start menu is unchanged, however I am using the VistaXP theme underneath so the start menu does look quite nice. I'm a bit of an addict when it comes to tinkering with the desktop, changing wallpaper, themes, layout etc, but this is my fav to date (still prefer Samurize to DsektopX but thats another story) so I think I'll stick with it for a while.

Here is a picture of my start menu anyways....
