"Revenge is a dish best served cold."

Finally, after almost a year in production and around 300 hours devoted, it is here at last! Welcome to the Digital Revenge DesktopX theme! Designed for use with DX 2.40f and fully tested and compatible with DesktopX3!

Designed for looks AND added functionality!

Includes many many features! Basic and extended weather information, loads of system information, calendar, clock, 8 expandable launching trays with animated icons and much much more!

Best of all: This theme is RESOLUTION independent. This will work on 1024x768 or larger. Tested all the way up to 2048x1532! Works on widescreen desktops and laptops!

Oh wait, THIS is the BEST feature: TOTAL Color independent as well! Bored with blue? Change it! Do you love purple? Change it! Do love a mix? Select two colors!

View the screenshot and for a description of what the buttons do. All buttons have mouse-over text as well.

In addition, this theme provides quite a number of options so it is difficult to describe in just one screenshot. See below for additional screenshots of the theme in action!

1) [link] Showing off my favorite alternate colors!
2) [link] Showing off how you can even select some nasty colors... It's all about personal taste!
3) [link] Tired of the built in theme wallpaper? Hide it! Use your own! Showing here is "Last Day". This screenshot also shows off the extended weather information, and slide out launching trays.
4) [link] Worried about the theme taking up too much real estate? Full screen app showing here. Only the taskbar reserves screenspace.
5) [link] What Windowblinds looks good with it? I'm using Stealth OS by Mike Bryant.
6) [link] Don't like to see the top and bottom toolbars all the time? They hide/show with a simple click to the top of the screen!

I have also created several visual tutorials to aid in customizing your theme!
1) [link] "How to add icons to your launch trays"
2) [link] "How to expand your launch trays to hold more icons"

Additional DX Zoomer icons to add to your trays:
1) [link] Smooth Metal by Rokey. (collection of 46 icons, converted with permission)
2) [link] Last Order Candy by Rokey. (collection of 62 icons, converted with permission)
3) [link] Gant 1 by Mattahan. (collection of 300 icons, converted with permission)
4) [link] Gant 2 by Mattahan. (collection of 266 icons, converted with permission)

Need more animated icons? Make your own! I've created a Photoshop action to convert any icon for use with this theme: [link]

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1) Download the .ZIP file and extract.
2) Set your screen resolution to 1024x768.

* I'm sorry these steps are needed, but at this time it's the only way I can develop a truely resolution independent theme.

KNOWN ISSUES:

A) Symptom: When an instant message arrives via Trillian, processor usage will spike for several seconds.
Solution: Turn off the "flash taskbar" option for incoming messages.
