    Why am I just now finding out about this...

    Not only is this a top notch build. The fact that this is a world wide collaboration for a friend, and truly a mentor to us all is heart touching. This is why I'm a Bit-Tech member.

    Love you guys.

    The case looks great, nice job Bill.

    here is a shot of the launcher at the moment;

    [​IMG]

    Programming is pretty much done, just fiddling with spacing and sizing values now. if time allows I may try adding some click animations and such to the buttons.

    I think I'm done with the background image, It took me days of mucking about with GIMP to get something I liked, and I don't much feel like trying to make another.

    The icons are just for show, I don't know which applications will be placed in the launcher yet, once I do I'll either find a custom icon set to use, make my own, or source out a bunch of ****.PNG's of the default application icons.


    Once I get it finished I plan to post it on Deviantart and link to the project and ebay page to boost support.

    This is great, looks brilliant an such a good cause as well. Yourself and every one else involved with this build deserve a bit slap on the back..Well done every one, you're all super stars.

    I'll put a link & a few words in my log on OCUK & aria on my next update which I'll try hard to get done this weekend. :)

    TBCS & Losias will already be well aware of this project I expect.

    @Waynio, Thank you for your ALWAYS awesome support! :clap:

    @Darth, you can mount it on the HD column :thumb:

    Fractal-Design visited Mnpctech to check the case, before it shipped out. Forgive me for not mentioning everyone's name/site. I've been swamped with commitments and lacking sleep.
