Title: My MALA layout - videos, marquess and fun! :)
Post by: blkdog7 on April 18, 2009, 12:36:39 pm
Been working on my MALA layout this week, I think it's done! It's a little slow, though. Not sure what to do to fix that. It scrolls too slow. Could be my computer? Celeron 2.4? 1.5gb of ram.

It features marquees, videos, and number of games played.

It's a vertical layout.

Nice Work ..

1) You can hide XP a bit more on boot if you wanted to.

Looking very good.  I like the background image and the use of the maquees instead of a list is a nice touch as well.  I know by default all the marquees are a little different in size are you stretching them to all be the same size?  I also like the "games has been played window" don't think I have seen that used before.

Please post it when you are done tweaking it.

I made all the marquees 500 x 200. I know this stretches and squishes some of them. But, it looks best in the FE when they are all the same size. So, it's a give and take.
