Check out my new desktop and let me know what you think, specifically of the plugin skins. If there's enough interest (read: pretty much any interest), I'll make the skins fit other sizes (they are currently only designed to fit next to 24x24 icons. The icons on my desktop are 30x30, but the plugins are on a seperate toolbar set to 24x24), and maybe some different color schemes. I'd probably be happy to take requests for modifications to these skins, too.
A little more about the skins. From left to right (after the 14 icons for menus and shortcuts) there's Net Monitor, with two bar graphs representing download and upload speed, overlayed by two user selectable values. I chose down and up percentage to more closely match the Drive Space plugin (the next plugin, which isn't skinnable - yet Wink ). The two graphical drive letter representations are actually part of the net monitor skin, but can be easily removed. After Drive Space is Weather Monitor, which includes a graphical display for each of the major weather conditions designed to match the wallpaper, along with temperature (top) and humidity (bottom) readings. Next is the Winamp Control plugin, which has volume control, song position display, and play controls across the top and song title display on the bottom. The System Monitor plugin (next) also isn't skinnable (yet Wink ), but I'm using the modified version that allows you to change the background and frame color. Finally is TLB Clock. The graphic on the right changes to indicate am or pm. The date display above the clock is Dave's Quick Search Deskbar (not a TLB plugin). I couldn't get TLB clock to let me use a different set of numbers for the clock display and date display, so I had the use this alternative. Maybe Yuri could add that functionality?
Anyway, I know they're pretty simple (some might say boring?), but I think they have sort of an elegant, functional appeal. Let me know what you think...
