The designs are for Belenix 0.7.1 and
0.8 using both KDE3 and KDE4 desktop environments.
<Notice!>New review direct to Hp contains Belenix as VM running
on Hp Compaq 2230s notebook!! Can be seen
here
<Notice!>An issue has come up with the alternative and Midnight
Gamma themes in that the background images used in them are all
copyright. This has now been rectified and a totally new background
image created from scratch - meaning 100% original work by me :-)
--This new theme/background combination can now be seen here:
Belenix
Midnight Gamma theme - GPL
<Update 07/14/2009>New JDS icon created for Midnight Gamma theme:
Originally the Belenix 0.7.1 release contained a very nice KDM3 theme
called WorldKdm which reminded me of the frontends used for TV shows
like CSI and NCIS. Very sophisticated looking graphics with graphs and
console tty outputs all over them which don't resemble any computer
systems of today unless using a high-end home media system remote
control or using a computerized home system in which the display shows
you everything that goes around in the house both graphically and in
text form while still being menu driven.
- Good examples of this can be seen on the Logitech G19 keyboard
systems GUI's and top of the line Okoro home entertainment systems with
built in displays and GUI driven touch screen remotes.
Hollywood OS aside, the Belenix 0.7.1 KDM theme was very futuristic and
cool. The only downside to it was when logging into the system
everything was plain bland boring old KDE3 with only the desktop
background resembling anything close to that ultra awesome login
screen. That and the fact that it was still using KDE3 when KDE4 had
already been out for over a year, since 2008 for version 4.0 and
development versions starting out in 2007.
Now that Belenix is being upgraded to version 0.8 a cool refreshing new
look is needed for the desktop theme. Since I already run KUbuntu 9.04
on my desktop and laptop systems it definitely makes a good note pad in
order to start designing before even the alpha release of Belenix is
out!
Keep posted for more information and major updates to this particular
part of my site, currently I am at the end of a Cisco CCNA course in
which I'm trying to finish in record time to make it to my second and
third job interviews with a particular company dealing in global
network, WAN and large scale LAN design. Sorry for any delays if there
are any between now and 2 weeks time but I'm in the thick of the finals
which is really taking it's toll.
