Here's the monthly what-is-on-your-desktop-thread.
Sadly [or not] it's Friday night here in Oz .....7 hours after 'beer o'clock' so I haven't set up anything "sexy" to show...just the same-old-same-old....look-at-me-I'm-fantastic-with-a-winamp-skin-and-other-stuff.
But...
What do you guys have? ...
Naked Noir (vStyler), and a wall I composited... original shots seen in Photoshop.
Wall is cool. Like walking through an Aquarium and looking through the glass window.
Excellent work Doc!

This is Contrast, a WindowBlinds and theme skins by pinchecl and RedneckDude. The theme is based upon the IconPackager Contrast also by pinchecl.

I think pinchecl and RedneckDude did a fine job in putting this theme together. Click on the screenshot and zoom in and check it out.
^^^Excellent! Thanks Philly
You're welcome, Ross.
Thanks for the linkage, Doc.
Here's my version of Contrast, the new WB by Pincecl, made to match his IconPackager theme. The IP has been updated as well with some new important icons. All the usual skins have been made for it by Pinchecl and RedneckDude. It will be up here at WC pretty soon, but if you can't wait, go here: http://www.skinnalicious.net/
Just scroll down the page, and you'll see a box with links to all the skins and wallpaper.
