August 2023 Desktop Screenshots

Well, it's August, already. Hottest month over with...hoping (against hope) August will be somehow better.

Decided to give tribute to three great Master skinners, and really good people...one of whom is here in memory only, Xiandi (Lady X), PoSmedley, and WebGizmos. They collaborated to create a beautiful skin, my desktop of the month: Xiandi the Windowblind and CursorFX, PoSmedley, the walls, and WebGizmos, the Winstep Xtreme.

We're talkin' Metropolite:

Gorgeous skin! What size taskbar are you using, Tom?

Well, the actual full image is 1118 x 42 Doc (top and bottom). But the top and bottom text settings on the taskbar buttons make it 55 pixels tall in the screenshot. :-)

Wow!! You really outdid yourself on this, Tom! That really looks fantastic. The lighting effects alone make this one worth 15/10!

I should have asked "small, medium or large" as it's Start11 on a W11 machine. The Start button is off centered, a bit "high" as I'm using the small task bar. I'll play with it a bit. Thanks, though for your answer, my friend. :)

edit: Going to the medium sized taskbar fixed it. :thumbsup:

I uninstalled WindowBlinds for now. Too many inconsistencies for me, different looks of different programs, black fonts on dark backgrounds (dark mode problem) and the like. It just hurts my eyes an let's my inner aesthetics cry.

It's not anybodies fault (!), given how Windows changed and considering, what we could do with Windows 2000 that was more & more impossible anymore. Very frustrating for me.

Illuminate was everything I hoped it would be...a beautiful skin. I changed the wall a tad, hope Tom forgives me.

Maybe a dump question, but can't You let the user do all the recolouring via WB? ;-) If I remember right there are definable parts for that?

Yes, however, the colors are not accurate for each classic mode color. Hence me having to make graphics for each substyle. Plus it messes with the start button flag colors.
