RIP LHR

LHR, the Longhorn Reloaded Project, was today given a ‘Cease and Desist” by Microsoft. This is odd, considering that the LHR team and others had contacted MS beforehand telling them of their mission. The response wasn’t to stop, it was more of a “we don’t really care what you do”. However, a week or so after the first public release, MS told them to stop. It is now dead.

I downloaded it before it went offline, though…so if you need it comment

2007 Desktops January–April

Technigma — Tue, 22 May 2007 03:33:27 +0000

2007 is a year of great desks, skins, and customizations. My 2007 screens aren’t just any old desks, they mean 2007 to me. In this post, I am recapping all of the ones I have made so far this year. So here I go:

First off there is this one from January. I don’t really know what I was going for here, just liked that wall and made that Rainlendar skin to match.

I found a great wall and worked really hard to make this one:

Next, I think I went this Aero-style one. I usually go to an Aero theme in-between original desks.

Next I went with a bit of an Aqua-inspired theme. I had been trying to use that wallpaper for a long time, but couldn’t get everything else to look right until this:

Then there was this one. I think, so far, this one has captured my vision of 2007 the best!

That’s all for right now. I will make a new post with 3 more desktops in June, as I have taken two and am working on the third for the June competition at JoeJoe.org. I really like how the competition one coming out, and I’ve got a good feeling about it. Check back in one and a half weeks when I post it!

UPDATE: Uploaded to new server, should be at full size now

Preview of Vienna PSD

Technigma — Tue, 15 May 2007 21:45:02 +0000

I’ve been hard at work for several months now (not continuously, just when I get bored) on a Vienna concept PSD. Now I am going to say that I am almost finished! There are many small things to be tweaked (I have plans for: changing the Album category’s sample cover art, tweaking the close button, taking out or changing the arrow in the pie menu, and adding some more albums to the list), but I feel that it is ready for a public appearance.

It is my concept of Vienna, or Windows Seven. It is to be Vista’s successor, and there are many rumors about what new features it will display. It has been announced that there will be no more taskbar, and that MS is looking into Pie menus for the interface. Thus, my concept features a pie menu. It also builds on the Aero GUI, but it is not known if there will be glass graphics in Vienna. Since that is the case, I have decided to tag my concept as “beta build 4230″. Tell me what could be better in it, what looks good, or what should be taken out. Also, let it be known that I did not make those icons, or the wallpaper. I downloaded those off the internet, but everything else is original. It is a pretty big image, so click here to view it.
