BlueLS is my newest creation. It's an experiment - I'm not sure how usable others will find it - but it's rather fun minimalism.

The best wallpaper for this is: [link]

The theme was inspired by recyclebiin's work: [link]

What you get is:
  • always-on-top minimal bottom-left aligned "home" icon
  • auto-hiding volume control
  • on-mouse-over tray icons
  • scrolling current winamp track artist - title
  • everything can be minimized to the home icon
  • super-organized-pseudo-OCD code for easy editing

  • update:left-click on "home" to hide/show taskbar/tray/volume

    play, remix, share :)


    ps - see my ChromeOS LiteStep Theme: [link]

    I love this theme, Thanks. It really got my mind out of mimicking windows, mac, or linux themes.

    Very Minimalist, but I wanted to get rid of more stuff, and move it to the top (around Chrome) where it hardly blocks anything.

    Here's a pic [link]

    Thanks for the comment :)
    I'm finding it hard to get used to it - though it's an interesting experience to mess around with your habits - you'll notice how you quickly move your mouse to the wrong place to try to find the tray icons or the taskbar. I'll wait to get used to this theme, and then switch to another one - just to mess with myself :P

    Cool concept..but i think the corners need to be rounded more smoothly

    I'm rather a fan of pixelated things, but I see the appeal of antialiased graphics. Perhaps someone who can pull that off well - will re-upload this submission with the edit - or send me a file so I can include it as a second pack in this LS release :)

    I think this is a great theme, but there are things that could be worked on.
