well, thanks for the comments guys! Label'O's hasn't been released yet and I don't know if anyone has permission to do so. I haven't read something about that, so I assume noone isn't making it..I just made my port in short time and there isn't very much done, I don't know if I should finish it...

Permission not needed to port Swiz's work....here's the excerpt from his front page....

"So your a PC/Linux user who has ported an SS original?

I get so many emails from users of other operating systems letting me know that they have created their own ports of my work for their platforms it astounds me. I'll be very frank with you, the only community I am worried about is the Macintosh community; I create the OSX originals and strive for bug free, well thought and well executed GUI's. I do not endorse any particular port of my work for these other platforms. I do not attempt to regulate ports.

Port and distribute as you like while noting that the port is inspired by but unrelated to Swizcore Studio."

I updated once more...

VS: DeMX (modded slightly by me)

Icons: Equal and Others

Wall: Flag In A Box (found in this thread)

Apps: Yz Toolbar, Winamp with Toaster plug-in, iShut

Clean

Dirty

PS: Sorry about the poor quality of the second pic but I had to fit it in the upload limit. And as always comments and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

i'm really bored of these mac 'look-a-like' desktops, these 'unreleased' stuffs .. the hell with them .. so, back to classics

3DCC raapie-final, Ximian icons, rainlendar & some samurize by me .. nothing special but it makes me feel comfortable.

I wish I had the guts to go full time with bb.  I love the look but I could never get used to it.

I'd recommend it. The more time you spend with it the more you realize how good it can suite you're tastes (At least in my case). You can just run the exe without having to replace your shell...quit it at any time and go back to explorer...to test it out.

I could never go back to a non blackbox environment for one main feature alone, mouse controls on the title bar. You can control what happens when you right click, middle click, left click, shift or ctrl click etc a titlebar. This saves so much time, you woudn't imagine how useful it is. For me it's....

Left click: Bring focus to window

Middle Click: Close window

Right Click: Minimize window

Double left click: Roll-up window (Another great BB feature)

Ctrl left click: Maximize or restore

this is so much quicker than using the close / min / max buttons of normal windows, or right clicking a taskbar entry to bring up the menu to close, min or max an item. This alone saves so much time that if I couldn't use blackbox, I'd be willing ot run an application in the background for this feature. Let alone all the plugins that eliminate my need for Samurize, the clean, minimal looks, the sheer customizability of it and so on.....

those buttons will only good good with a skin whos dialog and menu colors are set to the same color, like F4F4F4 or something like that cause bitmaps dont support transparecy, and it isnt done yet :|

yeah i know, i plan on making my own buttons eventually. i was wondering about the the old people emotes though. think you could save and send me the bitmaps for them? they look fun.

Blackbox has a nice calendar plug-in you might wanna try if you aren't too attatched to rainlendar. :p

Ya, I've tried it, didn't like it very much. But looking

at your last screen, I kinda like the way it's set up there.

Maybe I'll mess around with it again. ;)
