mmhhmm....It needs a bit of work to get it to be a good multimedia OS. For example, forget about using PowerDVD, all playing a DVD does is restart your PC. WinDVD works great though.
Games..... OpenGL games don't seem to like it that much (eg. Soldier Of Fortune II etc) but DX games (eg. any Unreal2-engine powered games, and most RTS's etc) run perfectly, as long as you've followed the guide on www.msfn.org and enabled DirectX9 and Hardware Acceleration.
The only thing ive found that has no workaround and refuses to work in any way is the OpenMG software for Sony's NetMD recorders. It simply doesn't work.
But overall, 2k3 is sleeker, feels a lot faster, more customisable and comes without the irritating XP disney-style traffic light buttons etc. As you can see i'm using a theme, for which i had to do the uxtheme.dll hack and enable themes in Services.

sixate · 06-08-2003, 04:48 AM

Here's my latest.
I'm using T3 Windowblinds skin and T3 skin for WMP.

Secret:

I am not sure. I will see if it is still on the machine (it was an older screenshot). If so, I'll post it for you.

Sorry Secret, I must have lost that wallpaper during a format. It's too bad, that was pretty damn cool.

And Stargazer, it's a TiBook, not an iBook

zero, WTF is that, I must have it!!!

-z3r0- · 06-19-2003, 11:23 AM

The theme is called Unverse Metals and the program used to install the theme is called LiteStep. Both Free :P

LNCPapa · 06-19-2003, 10:22 PM

Wow - Litestep has come a long way since I last used it...

LNCPapa · 06-19-2003, 10:28 PM

Here are a couple of my Macs (I have several machines across multiple platforms)

This one was taken through a VNC window - hence the Windows frame

And I should probably include a pic of one of my computer rooms.. to give an idea of my mess

There are more machines to the left and even more in my other computer room. All of those monitors are in process of being replaced though - one at a time.

o14real · 06-21-2003, 09:21 PM

This actually isn't very recent, but my desktop is a mess now and I don't have time to clean it. I'm ASHAMED!

TheDave -

That Rejected Screen cap is hilarious - I might have to make myself one of those.

Mr_Q · 06-25-2003, 11:41 PM

This is my desktop - Hopefully the link is good, I have no place to host pics so I pulled it from the official Animatrix website.

nico · 06-25-2003, 11:49 PM

Quite the setup there LNC.

jtfrisco · 07-10-2003, 01:16 PM

Where did you find that Universe Metals Theme? I took a look at litestep but couldn't find it anywhere. They only showed 6 themes.
