Description
This IS what the side dock will look like. In addition, mouse over will NOT create a parabolic enlargement like mac OS, but rather will simply enlarge the moused over icon.Related content

FrozenTheaterD, he lives!
wow, this is simply gorgeous! I have been waiting for you to post something new for a while, and about time.
The design is very unique, recognizable, and very easy on the eyes. I like what your doing; not trying to reprogram an entire OS, but simply playing with and editing gnome to be attractive and fun.
And I have decided (now that I have the ability) that I am planning on dual-booting XP and Akumin.

One last comment:
It looks like you're creating your own DE from scratch here. Is that what your going to do? Or are you going to try and tweak GNOME or KDE?

Haha there is NO WAY I would be able to find the man power to do that. Especially being that I am not a programmer. The goal of akuminlinux is to be design oriented and not programming oriented; to demonstrate the power of art. Thus, I am tweaking gnome to the max to create a unique feel, but not an actual new de

Yea, that's pretty much the same approach we're taking. I would like, though, one day to build our own DE

ah, I hate when people say that. That saying is the most destructive, non-inventive verbiage I've ever heard.

yes i was thinking that after i wrote it actually.
I was like "wait a second...thats a wonderful way to get nothing done."
it was but a joke. I am a very proactive person.

Also, maybe the little tagline would make a little more sense and sound better as "Freedom is Beautiful"

it wouldnt make any more sense. I'd rather say that this noun is embodied by another noun (as I did) then that I am attributing a noun with an adjective (as you suggest)

I like this a lot more than your other designs. This one looks infinitely more refined. very nice job.
only suggestions I can make are to not make the gradient so drastic, make the light side a little darker, and to make the radius of the corners on your dock a little smaller. It just looks kind of funny.

I agree actually.
My ability to accurately portray my designs is definitely improving, thx for noticing.
