December 2022 Desktop Screenshots

Well, 2022 is coming to an end. I'm OK with that. 

December and lots of holidays...Hanukkah, Christmas, the New Year. So, lotsa skins, new and old!

Animations should not be a problem with the animation solution JanOscar found for us. You can find the fix here. Thanks, Jan!

Anyhow, Mine is, at the moment, Sirus by MikeB314 and the corresponding WSX by WebGizmos. Used alone the WB and the WSX have no taskbar 'jumpiness'. Together, the NextStart taskbar jumps a bit, contacting Jorge about that. Might just be because it's a non updated skin.

Buuuuut...who knows what presents Neil and the Devs will leave for us this holiday season? Maybe the Start11 fix Neil codes can deal with this, as wee.

Happy Hanukkah (חנוכה שמח), Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year to all who observe, and a Happy Festivus, as well!

My dear old Pappy told me that "practice makes perfect".

Also what Jan said!

For me, the first one I used for a longer time, was SountoxWB by c242 (Carl is still around here somewhere ! :) )


Woah, thank You! :-) That was like over 18-22 years ago. Also I had big help from Gillon and a friend who never made it here (Liquidchrome). I remember we did the suite in 2 days and 1 night and litres of coffee with Liquidchrome coming over to my home with his computer with him sitting in my kitchen and me in another room with a network cable through my whole flat. Actually the iris in the theme was copied from a Storm wrist watch I had at that time. We sat there like 2 hours with me constantly opening and closing the watch and Liquidcrome doing the photoshop parts step by step. Then he would deliver graphical parts over the network and me cutting and pasting them into a DesktopX theme and doing an iconset, zoomers and containers. Gillon later got these parts to make the 1st WB theme for Windows 2000. I later took that one to migrate the skin to XP. BTW, I really worked with this desk. :-D It looks really clunky with todays standards.

Sorry for the rather long offttopic bla, but I was overwhelmed by memories. And I MISS DestopX.



Storm Watch "Camera" and me doing things on my computers in 2000. At that time I had a private one and one from the company I worked for.

I am very happy to see an artist figure out Windows 10 start menu and explorer tabs. I know it has been a process getting it all figured out. The final product looks good as well. It has the retro feel with the modern day tools making this an excellent skin

There are a bunch of dark themes on deviantart. Though they are quite old, so idk how they would look now a days. XD

Well I would prefer Windowblinds 11. And a bunch of old themes crash WB and partially explorer here. And I have no time at hands to throw them into SKS myself.

We're almost the same age: 58 here. Kids. I guess we should be more respectful to our elders here. ;)  ^_^

Get well soon Jan! I had Covid earlier in the fall and I'm just now getting over the flu. The flu was worse than Covid! I seem to be back to normal now. My wife didn't get Covid but had the flu pretty bad,

Not so much, and the ones I have tasted from cans are no-no.

Never from a can! My lady made some chicken soup yesterday...it's so good I think we have a cure for whatever ailes one. This stuff would have one doing cartwheels even if they were on respirators.
