Just messing around :P


I will be posting later with a detailed tutorial on how to setup the same theme I use along with the necessary files.

WOW Quigibo these are awesome, especiaally 2 and 3. how do you make these?

And Nitacku I like your theme. I wonder if it's very taxing on CPU ressources and startup time tho? I have a fast pc now but I would still like to keep my 71 FPSes in UT2004 maxed out settings (and anti-aliasing ON) :D

I wrote some custom fractal equations and coloring algorithms and then rendered them using Ultra Fractal.

aaaah ok, I might give this a try someday. It might be useful for doing certain graphics (such as CD pockets)

In Québec, there was a KFC parody from RBO (Rock Et Belles Oreilles) where KFC is called CFC (Cloro-Fluoro-Carbure or something, that thing that was destroying ozone back in the '90s)

As promised, I have created a tutorial to recreate the interface I use.

http://download671.mediafire.com/crim9njytwng/n2jky54tbxt/nitacku.exe

Follow the link above to download nitacku.exe
Run the self extracting RAR file.
Read the readme.txt file.
Follow the installation instructions.

As always, you may pm or email me about any questions you may have.

I intended to get this out sooner, but I waited in order to test everything first on a virtual pc to make sure it works on a fresh os.

Actually, the wallpaper represents Zedd (Zeddicus Zul Zorander), the Wizard from the Legend of the Seeker series. For those that don't know what that is, it's an adaptation of the Sword of Truth books by Terry Goodkind.

Mmh.. I didn't really like that series. Tried it a few years ago, but yeah, it turned out not to be my style of fantasy...

I'm more in favour of the Wheel of Time. Of course, this is a matter of personal taste.

@DJ: lol@that.

Never heard of both but I don't read much and maybe it's just not avaliable over here. A few years ago, someone recommended me Ender's Game, but I couldn't even find it in stores, both in english and french.

It has come to my attention that there is a slight "bug" in the interface setup.
One of the configuration files loses it's extension when the batch file edits it.

To fix, simply open C:\Program Files\nitacku\Samurize\Configs
Locate gmail file, and give it a file extension of ".ini"

Reload the interface. (you can click on the dark gray strip above the 4 icons to reload)
Should work.

You may also experience difficulty setting up ObjectDock.
If it says something about a license not being valid, try saving the license again using the patch tool.

I personally wouldn't enable ObjectDock anyway. I really found this annoying as hell when I had it (altough on mac it was better) because it always got in my way and pissed me off

You can set the ObjectDock to stay on the bottom and not pop-up when you mouseover.

Here's what I made out of the stuff Nitacku gave out.



Thank you, Nitacku! This stuff is great!
I couldn't get ObjectDock to load the nitacku theme, but that's no matter. I prefer my set up. =)

3 bottom bars (start menu on the left side, general programs I use in the middle, recycle bin and currently open windows on the right) and 1 right bar (containing the games I play currently)

Also modified the modules a bit. (I don't have an 'N' drive. ;P)
Well, you can see what's changed for the most part.

Again, thanks Nitacku!
