Hello mightybuddha and all

That looks ace. Well done.

[rg4w]

Can you tell us a bit about how you made it?

Really well done, looks awesome (can't remember which DE it was that also came out with a Steam Punk theme recently, could work well together)

Damn, I love these. And you know you want to do the keyboard in typewriter keys, now. = )

There's one that was popular on Gnome Shell a few months ago (released in August.) It's really overkill - overworked-looking by itself, and in this case, I think it'd be pushing something. Could use something retro-looking, though; not like dull gray blocks retro, but maybe something in CRT amber and monospace fonts.

Glad you all like it!

Yeah, I saw the SP theme for gnome-shell, but as you say it's a bit ott... pretty, but too distracting to be practical. might just edit the shell myself to more antique-y colors :)

@rg4w - There's a full WIP on the blog if you want to check out how it was built.
