The Thud at night....6.17pm....heading south over Melbourne at Mach 1.3....

Getting that HUD to work was sheer genius of lateral thinking [gee I'm modest], as it's encoded within an entire Panel Gau file .... belongs to a Mig21....right vintage...wrong side of the 'fence'.

Now I need to invent a way to have the gauges show up at night when lit....as reflections in the canopy glass.  I have a feeling that one's just gonna be too hard.....and also see if there's a way to have a REAL mirror reflection in the mirrors...rather than the moving, simulated fake one it has now.

Everything else works...;)

Japanese Desktop

Testing "V Extreme" for WebGizmos.... Modules may change a bit. Wall is "Where Smiles Are Born" by Vlad.

   love that wall rick....well chosen.....

and doc.... just a superb match for the V blind...... 

ok so here is mine, not too sure how it will go as a wallpaper,  but it will be uploaded  to vista logon  as soon as I can remember how to do it... it a photo taken in Launceston Tasmania Australia... I used corel essientals paint 4

Hey Shaunna. Long time no hear from. How's starkers doing? Wall is nice. You took the photo so you can upload it without changing it if you want. It'll make a helluva backdrop. Miss you guys.

thanks Uvah, I spent 3 weeks in Hospital  with Depression and starkers hasn't been well either,  he has been suffering travel sickness  for a while and me being in Hospital didn't make things any easier .

anyway I am on the mend with the right meds and hopefully they will do what they meant to do, I feel so bad that neither of us let people know but we both have had a rough 3 weeks so I am hoping that people will understand its not that we didn't want people knowing, but needed time to feel well again. starkers still not all that well , but he is getting there

I'm so sorry Shaunna. starkers did say he was having a bit of a hard time of it. I hope you guys get well soonest or I'll have to send the munchkins out there to coddle you. Be well and god bless.

awww thanks Uvah, well they be uploaded and in moderation

keep well, its a lesser place without you guys.

Thanks taz

I've been working on updating an old blind (Arzo) by JJ Ying for windows 7. (Just doing it for myself, because I love this blind)

Arzo for Windows 7:

Just saw this....hoping you're doing better, Bonzette. 

This village just ain't the same without the sweetest of the denizens being around!

Arzo is a nice looking blind. To bad your updated version G3 could not be released to the public. Its a blind I would use if it was updated. 

Did I say something wrong Uvah? Doing it for myself means it is not a public update unless I am missing something. I realize personal updates can't be released without permission. I was just wishing thats all. 

Yeah, I wasn't planning on releasing it because it's not mine.  I guess I could give JJ Ying the blind and ask him to upload the updated version.

I update a lot of skins for win7 - maybe i should put more effort in trying to get the authors to upload the updated ones......hmm....

I also updated Eminence by tehZERO:

Nope! I know it isn't yours to upload. I was just throwing a hint out there. ^^^^^^^ the post above. G3 I remember well.  What I don't remember is where I dl'd it from. It was awhile ago. Sat on my desktop for ages. In another thread I mentioned how great it would be if other older skins could be updated. That really would be 'awesome' (quoting myself).

CountryYokel has just posted a great CFX "Vester4" which goes wonderfully with WebGizmo's "V Extreme". Pick it up HERE!!!

yeah I am on the mend but still have a way to go, I have a follow up appointment on Friday, with my Doctor 

Hi mrs starkers. Glad to see you still pluggin' away. Nice screenshot. Reminds me of what's comin' in about a month. Winter, snow, cold, more snow, more cold. Snowball fights, in which I do not partake. Christmas parade on Friday and I'm hangin' out at Starbucks to watch. Say hi to stsrkers for me.

Ok, my newest setup... Essorant's new WB "Primo" grayscaled... Treetog's new icons "iIcons" sitting on vStyler's "Trident Tray", also grayscaled... I think the wall is "Diamond" by Stardock... correct me if I'm wrong.

Note:  I love the way the taskbar buttons blend with the dock to give the illusion that the active button is folding over the taskbar... that just happened by a happy accident.
