DeViLbOi: I love it the way I made it. Good to know you people opinions so I won't make this mistake if I decide to make it public. Btw, if I place that wallpaper instead with no image on the popup, would it be people's choice?

rossjman1: Not yet done.

wallpapers can always be removed upon installation...however...browsing through the themes section I won't even look at the screenshot of a theme like that. It just brings down the value of the theme.

@DeViLbOi: it can enhance it, too

@mektroid: I like your wallpapers...

How can a nude woman behind my FireBird and mIRC windows enhance a theme?

Note:
1. She is not "naked."
2. She comes from my favorite game. (http://www.mektroid.net/pn03/)

DeViLbOi: I could make this one private and release one worth being in the theme section. Once again, it's my first theme. I accept your opinions and agree the fact that nude images aren't the best. I'll work on that point, thanks for the tip.


You can always put on Transparent window if you can't see the women behind them. :)


Smurth: Thanks, I appreciate your comment.

mektroid :: The comment was not meant to be about your theme and I appologize for you taking it that way. I was trying to get an understanding of where Smurth was coming from since he and I had differing opinions.

Well I already gave my opinion, but if you are planning on releasing it I will be more detailed. My only real gripe is systray size, 5 is just not enough for most people, I have 9 on my laptop right now, and I like to see most of them. I like the idea of the popuptop image but I think something more abstract would be better idea.

Other things to think about:
* Bar can be toggled from top, bottom, or off
* What other info will be displayed in the clock for mouseovers or left/right clicks?

That's really about it, I would probably use this theme for awhile, but I would definitely change the systray size and bar to top/toggleable for personal use.

All in all good for a first theme, I know you said you based a lot of it on other work but thats what first themes are all about. :)
