Looking for "Americas" Active Desktop

#1 Post by ArtShapiro » Mon Nov 06, 2006 1:23 pm

Anyone have this guy in 1400x1050? The set of Americas was apparently posted on aphexii.com for a while in response to a 2005 enquiry in this forum, but has seemingly disappeared.

I have older versions which don't happen to include the 1400x1050 I would ideally use. Several hours of searching on the IBM site were for naught.

Thank you. Interestingly, that's a different appearance than the Americas I had been using. Think I prefer my current look, although as "they" say, beggars can't be choosers.

How in the world did you find that Russian site?

Does yours have a darker appearance? Some Thinkpads (e.g. my A31p) come with the darker version, others with the lighter one (e.g. my X40).

Here is how I found it:

Yeah, mine happened to be darker.

I'm a bit embarrased that it's in the FAQ! Apologies for cluttering the forum.
