Monochrome Grey Desktop

1. 

   Wallpaper: Approaching midnight

   Other: Launchy, a slightly modified iTunes Toaster Plugin, a very modified BottomBar for Rainmeter, Deskview, and RocketDock.

2. Nice wallpaper! Love the simplicity of the whole thing - I think the dual taskbars is the way to go if you want to keep from overloading your system with widgets that you don't need.

3. This is excellent. I used a similar (but by no means as nice) desktop last year, it was basically just linux mint gloria, with the slickness black theme, dual taskbars and a simple sysinfo conky.

10. Is there any chance that you could upload your bottembar.ini? I've been working on mine for a while and I can't get it to look even half as nice as yours!

11. I don't suppose you could share the customizations for iTunes toaster plug-in? I'd really appreciate it :).

    Brilliant desktop though :D

12. sure, i never mind sharing.

    bottombar ini can be found at: bottom-bar-wide-mod.ini
    please note there are lots of things in there i just commented out, so you can comment them back in for added functionality. :) and the weather i use is the single day Moxa Weather
    itunes toaster plugin: iTunesNowPlaying.ini and black26.bmp
    best part? if you change your desktop background, just recolor the bmp to match, then change the name in the ini

17. Was wondering if I could possibly get some help getting my system setup like this... First time I've used these tools and I'm running into problems everywhere! Yikes!

18. Please help. My display is in monochrome & I need it back to color.

    System:
    Dell Vostro
    Vista
    Geforce 8400 (mobile)

    It's not a color issue as everything is setup for highest color. The laptop boots in color logs in color but after login it switches to monochrome. Why? Power management set to performance vs longevity.

    Thanks
