This is just a silly little theme. You shouldn't take it too seriously (I don't). I was bored and decided to make an isometric LS theme and... well, this is what happened. It consists of a number of blocks that you can move around and stack in various ways. It's all very tiny and probably a usability disaster. There might even be some fundamental problem with it that I haven't thought of yet. Ah well, it was just an experiment. Throw it out if you don't like it.

...and don't expect any updates. I might make a more elaborate pixel art theme in the future.

yeah this is great.
definetly like it alot.

I think you could make it so the taskbar position changes the jdesk size... yeah? like top, bottom.

Its really very cool, kinda annoying how its isometric though (tasks on bottom there is a gap between the edge and the button)

I really like it, these kinds of wee theme experiments are way cool, beats those "Theme to end all themes" monsters we always make anyday IMO ;D

Hehe, thanks. And yes, experiment themes are fun. As a matter of fact, if xLabel's snapping capabilities were a bit more sophisticated (for example setting snap "areas" so that labels don't always snap to outer edges, i.e. making overlapping stuff) one could make an interesting little puzzle game with LS... :D

yeah I was thinking about doing something like that, like, moving some "control" label onto "action" labels makes something happen, but it seems a little... silly. overkill.

I might mess around with this theme a little (lscolor theme, no isometric, snapdocking)

UPDATE: Man I hate mzscript! how do I do elseif?

Yea! Exciting stuff :-)

I realize it is just an experiment, but resizing a box would be desired, especially the taskbar and systray. Removing boxes as well...

Seems like you are full of ideas West, I am glad you put your energy on Litestep instead of on something that would make you rich and boring ;-)

... or maybe you already are rich and have lots of spare time =D
