skin/OS/ or anything for showing on TV

June 12, 2003 5:08 AM from

hello.
i want to make an entertainment center with my computer attached to my tv.
in order to do so i need a skin or something to make an easy desktop with large icons.
i need only about 6 large objects/icons on my desktop.
for now im using desktopX with a certain theme which is ok for me.
im looking for more themes like that with big objects.
second thing - im having a bit problems with DesktopX ("show desktop" button is minimizing the DX, no shortcut buttons)
can i use another platform or skin other then DX? with big icons on the screen?
thank you for your help

You could set your desktop icons just too large, and if you don't want a startbalk you could hide that, or use liteSTEP
You could also try Objectdock

Another way would be to use a smaller resoloution, which would make the icons look bigger.

Thats an option too, looks good to me, a tv will never get such a good resolution as a computer screen, so it dasn't really matter for the visual ( this is unless you got a digital tv, or a plasma screen...)
