As I mentioned below I am running just 2 monitors. I loaded the big one and of course I cant see the 3rd screen. I set up my eyefinity again with just the 2. 3840 x 1080 is my current max resolution. I think I am going to take the 1920 x 1080 skin I modified and double it. I dont care for the large skin crossing the border of my monitor. I modified the skin more than before by removing the media player on the main screen. It seemed redundent since the media player button is there anyway. That opened an entire third of screen space which I filled with some LCARS xwidgets. I like the functionality of this skin...alot. I finally have an entire functional LCARS desktop. So much so that I hid my taskbar and deleted all my icons. I am actually using the LCARS buttons! Of all the LCARS replacements I have used over the years(LCARS 47, LCARS Terminal, LCARS 24 etc) this is the only one that works.

I just felt it wsant functional enough. I am different I think than most LCARS makers. I want EVERYTHING to actually do computer stuff. LCARS 47 for example is awesome but I dont really want to have it loaded all the time since it is all about a fantasy starship. Not an actual working interface. If I want to cruise through a federation database I will go online. Or play breifly with LCARS 47. It is really cool. Just not practical. With all of that said I have removed things like random numbers, got rid of blanks in the buttons etc. Essentially cleaned things up and maximized the functionality. I also customized an Xwidget of buttons which made it fit in the rainmeter skin. I like the modulality of being able to move the buttons in case I want . My next project is to try to remove the random numbers that hide the clock. I wish the skin was more animated like a real LCARS screen.
