Theme approach

This theme I have been working on for a very long time.

The drives are the only recent additions.
Anyone who knows the Middle Earth sagas knows just how much is in it. While it is impossible to cover everything, almost everything is in it from maps, to characters, to locations, to beasts from both The Hobbit and LoTR.

Some will hate it, some will love it. Me? I am content. Graphically, it is one of my better works.
Cheers

Changed direction in the disk in this one completely. This is about as much as i will put in any module.

Just a general observation of something I noticed in the last few themes. I think this is probably a limitation of the mod itself - the multi histogram shows both read/write in the same colour, which seems utterly pointless as you can't tell at a glance which is which!

Spot on with the colors but the fault lies with me Nexter...

I haven't finished all of them. For the greater part this is the last step. I also am testing it with defragmentation for adjustments in where each graph line sits, so they can be seen separately. I am testing thinning/thickening simultaneously so I need to focus only on that and why I left until the very last.

It's me, not Jorge. As I believe I have mentioned, I do not mind showing my development stages in skinning.. nicely picked up though.

Ah, right.

That explains it nicely, thanks @BassdudeNZ. A case of"mea culpa" then.

Smoke and mirrors. User gets two choices.

@NEXTER

here you go I did one theme only. It's also good to have a reference point. It took very little time surprisingly. Less than anticipated.
I have only done one. I'll do the rest at the end with those that have one (When all 50+ themes are done)

I started a defrag so both R&W run for visibility

C drive is SSD so no defrag.
What I found interesting is the graph updates faster than the text if you look at drive E.
