Recommend me a theme for Touchscreen Laptop?

Desktop X

for Desktop X. i just got a HP Touchsmart laptop, i was hopeing to find a theme thats similar to the "touchsmart software"

the application looks like this pic here: http://www.chipchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/TIME-100-Application-by-Adobe.jpg

reason i want to use desktopx instead of HP's software is cause even though its fantastic...its not an actual desktop and isnt displayed all the time, opening apps causes it to minimize and wont come up till you press it again...i'd rather have it as my entire desktop, thats how good it is.

or at least a theme perhaps with some "scrollable" icons? any kind of recommends for touchscreens is appreciated, thanks.

I'd say Subsecret DX (RedneckDude's theme after Mike Bryant's "Subsecret" WB). Here: https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=4447&libid=31

thanks for suggestion drjbhl, although judging from appearance, its not quite what i had in mind. i'd prefer something that doesnt resemble windows GUI.

i really hate the taskbar, i'd like to find something simialr to the Playstation 3's xmb gui or hp's touchsmart gui. something prefferably geared for touch screen use

I think the question that needs to be asked is DsektopX compatible with your new computer?

I think you might want to send an email to support@stardock.com

OK...how about Microbe by sViz: https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=4276&libid=31

Don't know what PS3 looks like, sorry. Maybe post a screen shot of something similar?

Have you tried Object Dock as a taskbar replacement?

microbe looks pretty good, i'll try it out. I also really like SignalsDX by darkfussion but unfortunatly its only for 1024x720 resolutions and i have 1280x800 i think that was the favorite one i tried so far once i got it customized but wrong resolution size, so its not very usable really. Microbe looks decent enough, a bit bright but i'll try it out and see how it feels.

i think i seem to prefer the ones where the entire desktop can launch and perform actions...more useful for a touchscreen

and yes i've used OD before, mostly on my main rig, but its not the launcher itself, i want an entire desktop thats like a giant launcher, preferably with some cool animations. I just wish HP's touchsmart software wasnt so buggy but its not really a desktop replacement, more like an overlay which uses more resources.

always up for more suggestions.

thanks for the help guys, appreciate it.
