Pixtudio release new exclusive suite, PixOS

I was really hoping for more walls though...

Congratulation Renato, Johanne and Paul! Very nice work. Should be quite successful.

I like the suite very much. Great piece of work!
There are very few icons, though.
Even one for PowerPoint files (.ppt) is missing -- almost every other serious, certainly every professional (= $$ pay) suite covers at least the basic Office file formats. Maybe this is by omission ...

Suggestion: Mormegil, why don't you release an "extended icon pack" for e.g. $3.95 to satisfy the needs of people like me who absolutely have to have a seamless UI experience (... without every other icon visible on screen at a time violating the spirit of the suite)?

I'll second the comment by Werewolf -- NS/WS skins are needed badly.
Windows Media Player would be nice, too.
But then, it's also nice to have that GREAT Cursor XP cursor included with the suite. Can't always get everything at once, I guess ...

M.

Jofte, did you notice that the icon set doesn't include icons for either Powerpoint it Access, but it does include an icon for a 5 inch floppy. How many of us using Windows XP still have a 5 inch floppy versus how many are using PowerPoint and Access?

Just an observation after purchasing. Danged if this isn't a nice suite.

Anyone now of a Winamp 2 (or 3) skin that will go with this gem, thanks.

I agree with the general comments that the suite rocks, but that there should be more to it. I willingly paid the 10 bucks, but then again I assumed that all of the basic icons would be covered. It would be great if you guys at Pixtudio could fill in some of the "gaps." I am glad there's a Logon included; that really adds to the whole "OS style suite" effect.

Again, really nice suite - very clean.

I hate to be the lone dissenter here, but I have purchased every suite that Pixtudio has released to date and I sincerely respect the ability of those involved at Pixtudio but I find this suite somewhat less appealing than those previously released. The reson I say this is lack of themes for DesktopX, WinStep or HoverDesk, which in my opinion were the cornerstone purpose of these theme packs.

Before you start flaming me for expressing this opinion, please know that I am not putting down the work they have done here, in fact it is at their usual level of excellence, and no, I could not do better, it's just that I have been looking forward to Pixtudio's next suite with anticipation and I am disappointed. Oh well, I look forward to the next suite.

PiXtudio, Really love the top-drawer design that exemplifies your style! Can't really use it though because as MogWaEE said, There's no DesktopX theme with it & I'm totally emersed in that app at the moment. Great design nonetheless! Thanks!

Looks just amazing but... no icons for Mozilla, Netscape, Phoenix, Mediaplayer, Winamp 2/3 QCD 3 ???

I also would like to see more icons, like those in the Toons theme, both for the IconPackage and the ObjectDock. Also, I don't think that they should cost extra since this theme is already a dollar more than the Toons theme, but it contained more things.

I'll echo what I said in the message board:

I bought it, and I'm not one to buy a suite, normally. It's VERY soothing to work with. The wall is a little *too* bland, but the skins are just so nice.

I do wish there were more icons, though. There just aren't enough file types. I am sticking with Orion as my icon set, since it has just about everything a growing boy needs.

I LOVE, LOVE LOVE the CursorXP theme. Very slick yet traditional enough to use every day.

I think I would have bought it just for the WB skin and CursorXP theme alone.

I would like thier themes better if they didnt have the themes name plastered over everything, it just ruins the apeal for me unfortunately .

Indeed a very nice set of skins. Professional quality as usual. Full marks Treetog and Alexandrie.

hopefully they will skin winamp 2 and or 3 and the other parts they usually skin and allow those that have already paid (like me) free access to those added parts, because this is the sexiest looking skin suit ive ever laid eyes on.

Well, someone should go for a port for Winamp2.

ok, i paid for it, got a confirmation from BMT micro that credit card has been approved, etc. now what? some sort of activation key is needed to download the suite. where is it? it's not in the receipt from BMT micro. this is about as intuitive as....well, i can't think of anything, but it's not very intuitive, that's for sure!

after using this for a couple hours i have another suggestion, the trillian skin is lovely but the buttons on the chat window are to big even for 1024 res the chat windows take up like 20% of my screen as small as i can make them, someone needs to make a port of this combined with microscopic

chuckyboy81070 : You should have got a 2nd mail from BMT Micro.

chuckyboy81070 - The first time you buy from BMT Micro, they may call to verify you're not submitting a fraudulent request. If you didn't give them your correct phone number (as I did, heh), they will email you. Don't worry, I haven't gotten telemarketing calls on my cell...yet.

i got it...thanks.

There is not much I can say that hasn't been said. I agree with all that more icons would be nice and a NS/WS skin would be great. This is one of the best apps I have seen over the years. I changed the wall to the Blue Moon which fits. I don't remember where I got it but if anybody wants it email me and I will send it. [email protected].

I've bought the theme, and overall, I love it. However, I don't think that the WindowsBlinds skin matches the icons or general style at all.

Plus, there appears to be a bug that makes the wallpaper included be removed and left with a blue background when the WindowsBlinds skin is installed. I've had to go back and install JUST the wallpaper to fix it.

Overall, I'm happy. I just hope that Paul at some point expands the number of icons available. I loved how many I got with the Orion set (at StarDock.com), and I really want more of these icons!

AND MORE OBJECTDOCK PIXOS ICONS!

Not that I'm trying to call Pixtudio out or anything, but normally a skinner would have resonded to some of the comments made on this suite by now. Perhaps they're busy, but I'd just like to know their rebuttal on/opinions of our comments. Again, not trying to call anyone out - just curious what, if anything, Pixstudio intends to do to improve this premium suite.

As I said in a post on this site before, we all get involved in politics at one time or another in our lives. I think this is a case where Pixtudio wants to put their best foot forward and so their response to our comments may take some thought; i.e., they don't want to seem as though they don't care what we think, yet they may have some just reasons for what many of us consider to be sort of "skimping" on the overall contents of the suite.

Eh, but what do I know?

On my side I was planing to make a WMP skin for free, like I already said on the msgboard, I know Paul wants to add some stuff too, we will all keep you informed of the progress, but don't expect something this week.

We are open for ports request, just email me for permissions
