Deck the walls...

Not much new to report, since the last post was only a few hours ago. I haven't got very far in customizing the Windows environment, but the most obvious improvement is of course the desktop wallpaper. I set out looking for a "circuit board" design, so that if the Windows wallpaper did appear onscreen, it would look like you got to see the "guts" of the machine. Most photos of actual circuit boards were either low-quality or just plain unattractive. I eventually stumbled upon an image of someone's electronics project, and after some tweaking in Photoshop, I had an image that worked. Here's a scaled-down version of the Protovision wallpaper:


...it's in widescreen format (the full-sized image is 1360x768 pixels) because I have the machine hooked up to a 26" widescreen TV. I'm not sure if the widescreen mode will carry over to the game select menus, etc. but if not I will crop the image and scale it if necessary.
