Myriad Base Suite - SHOWCASEby ~AlbinoAsian

Customization / Desktop Screenshots / Windows

Myriad^Base on Windows 7

________________________________________ _____

This SS showcases my second suite of skins titled Myriad^BASE. The finished skins can be found here. Myriad^BASE is similar to my previous suite Myriad.

I was inspired to make an even more minimal set of skins after coming across one of the best Visual Styles for Vista ever to be released - base by ~jg-visuals. At the same time I was making the transition over to Windows 7, and decided attempt a VS port from Vista. The first time I've ventured into the VS realm, and the first time I've released icons of any sort.

Elements
_{Win 7 Visual Style // base BETA for Win7
alternative for those on VISTA // the original base for Vista by ~jg-visuals
Wallpaper // Pink Starry Night my mod of starry night by *ether
Icons // Myriad Base Icons BETA
Winamp // Myriad Base Winamp
Rainmeter // Myriad Base Rainmeter
CAD // Myriad Base CAD
Skincalc // Myriad Base SkinCalc
Colorpad // Myriad Base Colorpad
Codepad // Myriad Base Codepad
Shutoff // Myriad Base Shutoff
3rvx // Myriad Base 3rvx (mod of PiX by Matt Malensek)
Same Game // Myriad Base Samegame
NES Color Palette // Myriad Base NES Colors
Destroy Twitter(not displayed) // Myriad Base DestroyTwitter Theme
Rocketdock (not displayed) // Myriad Base Dock
Snake (not displayed) Myriad Base Snake}

Behind the Scenes - other little apps I have running in the background.
_{Hoekey // mapped winkey + (letter) to launch all my favourite little apps (skincalc, colorpad, codepad, notepad2, shutoff)
Desktop Media // creates a shortcut on the desktop whenever a USB drive / cd is inserted.
Magic Mail Monitor // checks my mail accounts
Wakoopa // tracks application usage
Resource hacker // couldn't live without this program for changing icons and things}

Things to do - After I finish the final versions of the Win7 VS & Icons
_{Media Player Classic Logo
IconPackager Theme
Maxthon2 skin (50% finished)}

Things I can't do - I'm really sorry that I can't skin everything. But if you want to skin something for the Suite then go ahead.
_{Foobar2k (love the program, but never could skin it properly)
MIranda (Pidgin is my IM program of choice)
Firefox (I use it, but Maxthon2 is my primary browser)}
