Made this account today for this express purpose, please hear me out here.
This whole blog post, alongside Ross's video has sparked a bit of a GUI revolution for me, to the point where I've spent nearly a week straight customizing and optimizing my setup. (Ignore the "CLEAN" in the bottom right, I don't have access to any useful image-editing software and had to rip this from some 3D modelling site to better capture what I was imagining while working on it)
It's amateur and fairly barebones, but that's likely because I've been almost gimping myself through the whole thing. So far, the only meaningful changes I've made have been integrating Rainmeter and RadialMenu into my arsenal. See, I'm still a bit iffy on actually changing the default shell to anything else because I:
- Am mildly paranoid of the whole thing bricking by fault of Microsoft©™®
- Lack confidence in any one given shell alternative, even after heaps of research
So this is almost a cry for help if anything. I need someone here to either convince me to change my shell (preferably with a strong recommendation), find a way a to make this and this act almost one-to-one, or a Rainmeter wizard needs to chime in and give me some pointers for beautification. That second part especially, because RadialMenu is SO GODDAMN CLOSE to working the way I think it could and very much should. It was originally developed with drawing tablets in mind, but got expanded to include just about anything. If anyone here could point this lowly wanderer of the vast emptiness that sits right outside GUI heaven in the right direction, please let me know.
Thanks.
