If you set up the right background and have the menu bar hidden (assuming windows 7), then it is, basically, seamless.

To be honest I would prefer widescreen support to this method, however it is what I do currently. Overall I would just hope for some support for higher resolutions with the UI. The backgrounds look great at higher resolutions, but the interface overlays (stuff like the exit/favorites overlays) don't scale well and is at a very low resolution.

I really wish the Maximus devs would get off their ass and start to support it again.  Maybe fix some bugs, and update a few things on the theme editor and front end itself. So much potential there. I want a good looking front end that has lengthy WYSIWYG customization of the GUI, without crappy looking graphical and text attributes. Something that doesn't take 18 applications to setup and run but also requires an i7 to run at full speed, and something that just works. I went back and forth with half a dozen FE's and Maximus just fit the bill, even with the bugs.  :-[

The lack of support is why I never even got started with Maximus.

For HS, I'm just running an older build, before you had to install programs to push stuff out to you. I just copy the folder whenever I need a new install. Works great.

For older computer builds, I use AtomicFE. For newer machines, it's HS. If AtomicFE supported transparencies better, I'd be running that one for everything.

Generic Eric:

I think everyone should try out as many FE as possible.  I can speak from experience that Hyperspin is initially overwhelming.   I have it "working" but not to the degree I am satisfied. 

I'm at a stage where I want to change everything about my build.  On my list is to get a better understanding of each FE so I can participate in this convo to give better suggestions.

Saneless:

I'll get around to trying out Hyperspin someday, but my older PC (Sempron 3100+ 1.8ghz) made me a bit wary to even go forward with the effort.

For now, Mala works.  I figured I'm spending 98% of my time playing the games, 2% in the FE, I'll give it as much as I can stand to configure and be done with it.

Right now I have some game lists that make sense, Screenshot, Marquee, Control Panel, and Flyers artwork to give it some life.  I'll probably add some videos soon.  It does what it needs to do and I'll probably just wait until I get bored to change it.
