Yeah I got it on jan 3rd. I haven't had the time to dl much stuff cause taking 8 units in 6 weeks kinda is my life for the winter session. After this minimester is over, then i'll have more time to explore my comp.

I can never stick with a desktop for more than a week. Now that you mention it I really don't like it. Back to Ayumi!

Thanks Cipher (and Minty). The theme is DSX and I got the pic from deviantART (did some minor tweeking on it in Photoshop myself).

And for willab, that icon comes from a set called xButtons.
