The Myst III themes I made are up (finally)!! They’re still not linked from myst3.com, but I assume they will be soon. Until then, you can find them on download.com. For some reason, they posted the themes under the screensavers category, but I guess it doesn’t matter because they’ve already got over 6000 downloads! The themes weigh in at a hefty 11MB, due to the extra wallpapers and the installer that Presto felt the need to add. The installer is kinda dorky, and doesn’t give you any options, but I guess corporations feel nervous about giving their users options. It’s still exciting to see that it’s up! Once it’s downloaded, if you look in the directory the themes are installed in, there’s a link to spaceninja.com in the readme file! I kinda doubt I’ll get many hits from the readme file that’s buried in the install folder, but it’s still very cool. And in case you don’t want to wait for the download or install the themes, I posted screenshots on spaceninja.com.
Edit: The themes are no longer available on myst3.com or download.com, but you can check them out here at the Space Ninja Downloads page.

Ah, you caught me. I opened the matrix picture on purpose. It’s just so bad ass! (my first choice was to have tunak tunak tun open, but real player doesn’t let you take screen captures of it). But I really do listen to that Iggy Pop mp3 and I really do hang out in #pokey all the time. :)

So, when you make a screenshot (such as the one linked in the parent post) do you intentionally start all the most bad-ass apps on purpose? :) Let’s see… you’re looking at a Matrix screenshot of the agents, you’re playing an Iggy Pop mp3, and you’re chatting in #pokey. If I didn’t know you actually work in that kind of environment, I’d call you the biggest poser… :)
