Plasmatron A.I. was designed to be compatible with IRBrainiac's WindowBlind of the same name
Link but obviously works with any blind at 1280 or higher resolution. It follows the same basic format as my past DX submissions, in that it is an all inclusive bar with just a couple of external windows to open (program menus and the calendar). It's a design style I keep coming back to because I do all of my work on a laptop (limited workspace) and want to be able to see all of these things with just a glance (weather, date, time and performance indicators).
I've set this DX up to hide Desktop Icons and the Windows Taskbar, neither of which are needed with this bar. The work area has not been defined this time. For newcomers, all three of these preferences can be changed by right clicking anywhere on your desktop, > Desktop Builder > Configure Desktop Builder > Desktop. Don't forget to save your changes. Another note for newbies: this same right click gives you access to everything else on your computer, as does clicking on the Log Off button (which opens the start menu).
There are 8 quick launch buttons. The one with the arrow hides the top bar which provides you with a quick, minimum security option if you briefly step away from your computer. To reopen the bar, MO the "hidden" toggle located at x-16 & y-783. All of the quick launch targets can be changed, as can the location of the “hidden” open-bar toggle. I've included a set of "blank" quick launch buttons in a separate folder so you can create your own.
Thanks to IRBrainiac for allowing me to upload this. This man is an artistic and Skin Studio Master, as most of you already know. Permission included in a separate folder.
Thanks once again to Buzzh58 for allowing me to use bits and pieces from his Glass Weather panel and Stormy System Stats panel. Permission also included.
And lastly, credit to Martin for all of the scripts.
Everything can be moved, altered or deleted.
Enjoy.
