Codename: Rodeo WIP2
This is COMPLETELY done in photoshop--not a working desktop yet. I add to LDST group to ask for ideas on what to add next.
This desktop is for a HTPC that users don't interact with. I'd put it on a big plasma and stash the keyboard in my room. Just leave it on during a party or something. Other people aren't going to care about my hard drives, temperatures, gmail, or dock icons.
May need to completely redo the concept. Right now it's perfect for 1920x1200, but the most practical screen would be a 1080p, and so keeping the modularity I need to refit the boxes.
I've chosen to use "Folding Clock" Widget for the flip clock since a) it's already done b) it has animation c) it has seams d) looks better than my 30-second attempt to replicate one.
Will probably use Marxio Timer to set up time-based scripts (probably running Yahoo pipes) to pull images, get new recipes + sports scores.
New feature: Will try to set up Apache + ml to access Winamp's remote control ability so any iPhone can use Safari as a remote.
New feature: Using Enigma's todo functionality to post useful static information to partygoers such as phone# to call to get a taxi, "tonight's playlist available on MP3DVD for $1", etc.
