Leo Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I have (IMO) a good idea for a cool theme, however I don't really know how to get started with it. I would like to create a theme/apps that enable you to use your comp like it was a movie computer i.e. take things that the pcs always do in movies that don't actually happen and either make them happen (e.g. white window that pops up with a 'ping' saying 'you have mail' (a la 'You've Got Mail' and others) which I am fairly sure already exists somewhere, a special 'hacking' mode (doesn't really do anything but shows 3D blocks that the user can pick up and move around (where blocks have names like 'Reactor' etc.. so the user can be a cool hacker (a la 'Hackers')) maybe a skin for a web browser that only points to Wikipedia but looks like the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy... as well as other stuff. The basic idea is to pull all these things that movies show computers doing into a single environment that would be both useful and entertaining (OK so the entertaining bit might wear thin after a couple of days. What do you think? Any other ideas? Any pointers/offers as to how to realise this? Thanks Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Well, you can start by installing open-ssh, since Trinity uses SSH to hack into the powerplant in the Matrix Reloaded. :P How about a prayer-client, like Jim Carrey's character has in Bruce Almighty? Or a compiler that looks like triangular building blocks flying together, as in Swordfish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
