Camouflage MyColors Desktop Tour
Get ready for duty!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008 by Island Dog | Discussion: OS Customization
Attention recruits! For the next "Desktop Tour" I wanted to show off another MyColors theme that was recently released, and that would be the Camouflage theme. As the name implies, this is a military inspired theme that can turn your desktop into the barracks you have always wanted. Before we start, you can find more info about MyColors from Stardock, you can read through a walkthrough or view a screencast with more information.
Visual Style and Wallpaper
Camouflage is obviously what this visual style is based upon, but it doesn't get hidden in the desktop. The skin is sleek and the camouflage design is not overbearing at all. I was concerned it might be "too much", but the design was well implemented and I had no problems using this theme throughout the workday. The wallpaper compliments the theme well, and stays true to the overall design as well.

Icons
These have to be one of the coolest icon packs I have seen in a while. A tank for the Control Panel icon, binoculars for Search icons, and many other military icons makes for an awesome pack.

Gadgets
The Camouflage theme is not short on gadgets either. First we have the media player. This was designed to look like a military-era radio, but has all the bells and whistles you would need in a desktop media player.

There is also an expandable weather gadget which will show your designated forecast, and give you the option to link to your local radar and other weather information.

You always need to make sure you are on time for the all important mission, so it's essential to have a calendar and clock right there on your desktop.
