Happy Leap Day!

*Sigh* Alright, I've jumped on the Tango bandwagon. I really like this shade of blue, very soothing. Hopefully I can keep this setup for longer than a few days. I really need to go minimal for a while, themes were driving me a bit batty (I have way too many).

Visual Style: Win Classic

Wall: Royale Blue gradient, by me

Icons: Tango! Featuring the Tango shell patcher by ~vertigosity

Dock: RK Launcher, Modern Clear BG, by me

Foobar 9.5.1: Layout config by me, Tango icons

Note 1: If you want to make a similar gradient wall, start your document out at a high DPI (I used 240), make your gradient and save it as a PNG. You won't get the annoying banding often found on walls of this type.

Note 2: Small start/program menu! (since many people have asked)

1. Right click on the taskbar and choose "Properties."

2. Go to the Start Menu tab, and select "Classic Start menu," then click the "Customize..." button.

3. Play with your settings for whatever menu options you want. But to get it looking so minimal you MUST check the box for "Show Small Icons in start menu" !!

4. Click "OK" and enjoy.

Radish?

Are there any good sites that have a whole bunch of high-res (at least 1280 in height) wallpapers of the same styles that i quoted? (other than DeviantArt) Thanks!

The Visual Style he's using on his screenshot is Luna Element 3.

Hey, I was just wondering what that black bar with all your shortcuts at the top is? Is it some sort of widget program or something?
