December 2022 Desktop Screenshots

from WinCustomize Forums

Well, 2022 is coming to an end. I'm OK with that. 

December and lots of holidays...Hanukkah, Christmas, the New Year. So, lotsa skins, new and old!

Animations should not be a problem with the animation solution JanOscar found for us. You can find the fix here. Thanks, Jan!

Anyhow, Mine is, at the moment, Sirus by MikeB314 and the corresponding WSX by WebGizmos. Used alone the WB and the WSX have no taskbar 'jumpiness'. Together, the NextStart taskbar jumps a bit, contacting Jorge about that. Might just be because it's a non updated skin.

Buuuuut...who knows what presents Neil and the Devs will leave for us this holiday season? Maybe the Start11 fix Neil codes can deal with this, as wee.

Happy Hanukkah (חנוכה שמח), Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year to all who observe, and a Happy Festivus, as well!

Agreed, Jan. The blue green hue is also there in MI6...I really wish WebGizmos had done a WSX of it.

So, a special thanks to Vamps and to you and Jazlan for some much appreciated help.

Yes, yes...those wonderful skins. Wish those great skinners could update their art, or I knew how to bring my faves up to date. X|  

Would have been great if that SD updating project had come to fruition.

All I can say to the artists is save those psds, and back them up. There are times when redundancy is a good thing.

007 agrees.

Lovely!  The top bar glyph be animated...(I figure the lantern in the start button will have a glow state).

To be honest Seth, hadn't thought about it, making the wreath animated, I suppose I could, now that the animation issue is fixed with the update to Start11, have to think about it. :|  |-)

I keep thinking, "Maybe the skinners will do a group project theme like they used to do...".

Wouldn't that be cool? O:)  

Does anyone else miss that?

Gosh darn, I can't remember the last time that was done, I do remember doing a Xion on a group skin suite, that was fun. |-)

Thanks Jan, on a suggestion from Seth (aka Doc) I made the Christmas lights on the wreath (Start Men) twinkle (animation) works great on Win10, WB10, and Start10, but, not so much on WB11, Start11, Win11.  Problem I'm having (and I believe it's because of SKS) is, when you do a search, and the SM expands, the wreath splits, animation image stays left, and the static image will go to the right.  With that said, if you don't do a search, the animation (wreath) will work fine (on SM), including in "Tile" mode, just not in search mode. :\  |-)

Souds good to me. I never use search in Start Menu - I even remove it completely in SKS as you can see in all of my screenshots.

Hanging in there.  Just completed my 5th round of Chemo.  Will get scanned and have my cancer reviewed to see if it is heading towards remission after I complete round 6 of Chemo.

I am hoping for a good review.

Nice! A slight recolour of Fero by retiredmaster (essorant), me thinks.

Reply #21 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Yes, it's Fero and exactly as made by retiredmaster essorant.  I did buy him a cup of coffee.
