Nice!

Thank you for your explanation of the color coding

I decided to leave no stone unturned - That being I am going to look at all the most common Apps icons and color hue them to match the theme and put them in a separate folder for Nexus. I know how to extract the Nexus icon via a resource editor but that would be disrespectful I believe. Jorge, if you could make the Main Nexus icon available sometime, or better still, consider adding more colors in the next update in the Control Icon Color? That would be really helpful for anyone else who may make icons for their Nexus to color coordinate them?..

e.g..The base rainbow spectrum and pastels & lighter colors of all of them (e.g. Cyan, light blue etc etc). Yes I know it is a pain, but if you wish, I am happy to do them all and send them back to you if you send a decent RES transparent PNG of it kindly to my email which you have?

You haven't been paying attention lately, have you?

Not only is the Nexus control icon about to change, as users will be able to apply any color variation they want to it in the next release.

Well, I am much closer to 70 than you Jorge, I have been away for 3-5 years, I have not exactly had the time to read every single post on the Forum and aside from that - take away all the excuses... I will claim a senior moment.
P.S. - I followed your link - looking good !

I have finished BTW - I will probably do one more... it's not exactly a quick process for me.

See your email please Jorge - I went to upload to the gallery and it seems I am a little over the max size?

Me being a dufus occasionally, did not think to compress my png's...
que sera sera... Thanks Jorge for pointing that out.

Fixed and available on the Gallery page


[Edit]Moderator's comment - Removed link as as far as I'm aware it isn't meant to be public yet, sorry - nexter [/Edit]

Thanks for sharing your latest creation. It's nice to see a new theme available.

You are welcome.
It's a fun Hobby.

I decided to do a Double Theme this time based on the TYV/Sitcom Series "Foundation".

1. Foundation minimalistic - with only the bare important Essentials.
2. Foundation Aesthetic - Pretty piccies in modules.

I completed the first in no time at all other than getting the modules' text more red-white so the text doesn't jump out quite so much.

The funny part is the entire theme was done in under 30 minutes... Multiply that by four for alignment manually in text and other things to remove and working out what was essential.. every module is in this picture.

Unfortunately, I may not be able to upload either skinning. I could go through the rigmarole of permissions but as I mentioned in another thread, it's a hobby. I made them for myself basically. The minimalistic version I can probably upload minus the wallpaper(s). I created all the gradients so I will create a 1920x1080 Blank wallpaper when completed and tested thoroughly - when I have more time and change every font to Verdana...I tested one, I prefer the lookin this one.

I'll put the aesthetic up when I get back to it as I am actually unusually busy ATM, and the aesthetics take WAY longer.

Finished the Foundation theme - For those of you who enjoy Isaac Asimov's fictional novels and the subsequent TV Sitcom.
I'll upload in a day or so, with a standard same gradient wallpaper and include a text file with an HTML link to their Movie Database where people can get Foundation Wallpapers as freely as I did. The Winstep skinning is very simple and minimalistic and the view in the image is every single module on the desktop. All are approximately 65% Opaque, with the exception of the Calendar which is Transparent completely and the minimal size before it becomes almost unreadable.

That's me for a little while. Hopefully I won't be gone for three years this time.

Is this for real, Asimov's Foundation made into a sitcom?! The ultimate insult. Don't know how his estate could have agreed to such a monstrosity. (I guess money talks! )

They said the same thing of the Lord of the Rings, Dune and too many other adaptations to list Nexter. Not to forget some badly rated Stephen King adaptations.

I think it's called Capitalism. The movie-makers have done about seven of Asimov so far. Foundation is possibly the best of them with Nightfall which they attempted twice, having both of them being badly done.

Well, at least TLOR and Dune weren't made into sitcoms. (Although The Hobbit could almost fall into that category! ) However, yes, they were all off the mark. TLOR & esp. The Hobbit took unforgivable liberties with the books. Having characters speaking with accents was so unforgivably contrary to Tolkien's writing. Trolls with Cockney accents, Dwarves with Scottish ones, etc. - whatever next! The whole thing was a fiasco IMO. Chris Tolkien was not amused either. As for the TV series, only seen excerpts as don't have streaming services (don't like them, don't need them, don't want them) but going by those probably even worse then the movies.

As for Dune, again both "adaptations" a real farce. But going by most adaptations of novels etc., mostly par for the course, alas. Best left well alone.

Alas, mammon rules.

OK back to topic...

I decided to try a slightly different approach focus.
There are plenty pf wallpapers, screensavers and the like doing a variety of aquariums and fish tanks etc etc..

There may well be a Winstep one somewhere but I did not look that hard if there is.

The focus on this was the Tropical fish creating a feeling of the Caribbean rather than piles of text. Most undersea wallpapers seem to work decently. This one was time consuming to get the effect I envisioned, but was fun nonetheless skinning.

I also decided to clean up / tidy up some of the older themes that I found were not too bad after all as well.

I'll likely send the lot via a link to Jorge to pick the ones he'd like me to upload, if any. I have more time in some ways, yet less....yeah, I know, an oxymoron. I guess it beats being an oxmoron.

Back to it...

I like Aquariums...

No need to send me a link, just upload whatever themes you want to the Gallery, if that is what you mean.

@Jorge - All good



Here's one I tried with multiple wallpapers, in excess of twenty different wallpapers i.e.... Trivia - the trash can is a dishwasher which opens full of dishes when full.


I made a base gradient tan and black/grey wallpaper because I have no idea whose kitchen this is or who took the photo, or who owns it, so I cannot include it.
That said, the twenty I tried were easy. I simply searched "Black and Tan Kitchen", and tried as many as I could before I was satisfied that 95% worked.

Jorge, out of interest, in which version did you change that the submenu is the right-click? I love it, because in means I can keep the frilly stuff to the opening menu and focus on faster and cleaner for right-click. I only ask because today I found the 9.5 Nextstart and ran it in compatibility mode. Needless to point out, the main menu is the popup on right-click in that version. so somewhere between then and no it changed.
