The Best DesktopX themes EVER!!!

September 13, 2003 9:50:30 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
What do you think are the best themes for DesktopX???

I think anything Chad Ross does with DX is cool but I particularly like the Indemnity Theme and Landing Zone.

Of course Adam Solley's Corona themes.

I also have some 'back in the day' theme favorites like treetog's Plava and c242 port of Envision.

My favorite one is Plava but the most changeable and rearrangeable is Chad's

What is your pick and why?

My pick is for the "one" that hasn't been created yet. I like the interfaces on websites and am trying to make a DX theme in that "style" can't wait til I can use a graphic editor well enough to make something worth uploading.

I love Nuvem's old DX themes. Some of them require a tiny bit of tweaking to work as intended, but it's well worth it. The graphics are all top notch and everything just flows together so seamlessly. I guess it helps that he's a tremendous all-around artist.

DeviantX and Konstrictor are my personal favorites.

I'd like to use it but it just doesn't seem to get on with my system. Every week or two I resolve to give it another go, try another object or theme, but it usually ends up locking up or otherwise misbehaving unless I just stick to having a couple of fish mooching around my desktop

I didn't use DX until version 2 betas, although I did try it before and liked Adam Solley's themes. Unfortnately they either didn't work right for me or I didn't find the theme useful for my needs. Currently I just use a mix of objects such as clock, calender, sys tray, meters that work for me, together with ObjectDock.
I think the more people who create objects that can be used in any theme, or provide themed items separately instead of all put together would encourage more ppl to make a theme of their own. Rarely is there a complete theme that I like it all enough to use it. I know you can alter a theme once you download it, but that can sometimes be tricky. Managing individual objects seems better to me.

Gef, by far for me. His themes are always so clean and crisp.
But give me a few months, and my favorite will be me...

That is why I like Chad Ross's themes like Revel and Indemity. It is mostly parts that can be re-arranged. Pretty simple (almost) to change.

I just love DX. I see some many uses and possibilities that it makes me just happy.


Maybe because my point of view is from a developer.
