I might be interested in doing a TGF2 game sometime, I used to make them all the time before I began flash animation.

Man oh man, am I happy right now.

Posted by RupeeClock - November 18th, 2007


Back at the beginning of the year, when I was still running Windows XP on my old machine before upgrading to Vista, I was using a favourite skin of mine called Luna Element. Luna is XP's default skin, Luna Element is the perfect answer to it with sleek buttons, impressive shiny designs and amazing use of colours and contours, I absolutely loved the skin.

When the time came to upgrade to Vista, I realised I would have to let go, so I did, thankfully the Aero interface was actually very nice, but soon enough I grew tired of it.
Through all the XP skins I had used, through a patched uxtheme.dll or Windows Blinds, they all had a unique, pixelated charm to them to be honest, something Aero could never capture.
So soon enough, I tried good old uxtheme, but there is not one uxtheme skin for Vista that doesn't look like a crappy hack of Aero, seriously.
Then I tried Windows Blinds, it was good for a while, that's for sure, but I still grew tired, as many of the XP skins I loved simply didn't view right.

...Soon enough, WB 6.0 came out, I was entitled to a free upgrade, joy!
It even came with a skin called Classic, which was actually very nice, but lacking...

So getting tired of that old Classic skin, I started looking around.
I was reminded of that lovely XP skin called Luna Element, and remembered I have a laptop in my Psychology lessons for note taking, I decided to install and remembered how much it fucking rocked. I actually started longing for XP again JUST for this skin.

And finally, just about an hour ago, I discovered I could convert that classic fucking skin, for Windows Blinds.

You have no idea how fucking happy this makes me

(See full scale)

Man oh man, am I happy right now.

luna element looks so much better on vista!

Or should that be, vista looks so much better with luna element? :)

This looks like a great place to play I spy!

I spy with my little eye... something that had to do with a previous post.

Really.

Rupoor is happy

Vista's normal skin sucks real hard, its just a messy piece of crap..

This looks way better.. not to small icons and not to big icons (On the right)
Is there 1 for XP?

Btw, nice DS :3

Haha, the skin is actually made for XP!
Do some research about uxtheme.dll, visual styles and c:\windows\resources and you can install it too.

dude, how come you dont answer my pm's?

I don't like talking to people who say the same things to me OVER AND OVER again.
Especially not when it's about idiots being idiots, I mean I can JUST ban the account from my userpage...

That looks EXACTLY like my mac desktop, I mean, even macs have there perks, they may run programs terribly, but they display images like a GOD. And your image up there looks JUST like my mac (well, except the start bar at the bottom, the dock is transparent and the icons look like peaces of chewing gum) but, ya!

Well, you do get a lot of desktop images based on the default XP bliss image, blue skies, green hills...

Looks good.
Pheonix Wright Emulator?
Where'd you get that?

That's no$gba, a DS emulator.
I didn't download the rom though, I dumped it myself.

it looks AWESOME. i'll see what skins my dad has on his work laptop while i am on vacation. Even though i love macs, windows are ok. Vista looks cool all together.

Does No$ gets below 20 fps to you? I have a computer with a pentium 4 and about 1 GB of ram :\

What are you trying to emulate? It depends on the game.
I get fullspeed with a Intel Core 2 Duo and 2gb of ram.

Nintendo DS emulator?
That's major awesomeness.

There's gotta be a mac version of that

I doubt it, Windows is the primary focus of any emulation development, and DS emulation is still in it's early stages.

Phoenix wright... I want to play that mo'fo!

It is good to hear that your happy. ^ ^

Well, thanks I guess?

you have a very snazzy computer!

Indeed.

And best of all, the emulator is getting updates and updates... and MORE updates! Btw, I'm wondering what's that nice note about start with that SBC judging Clockfriend flash :3

Something I STILL haven't started yet...

I'm so fucking lazy, don't expect a Clockmas flash this year.
