Interview Time!

2 min read

It's been 24 hours since the release of Omnimo 10 Airborne 

Check it out, if you haven't already here or on our site: omnimo.info/


To continue celebrating its Trophy 10 Year Anniversary, I got an amazing opportunity to do an interview with spiraloso
Not exactly my style to open up on such a personal level, but I figured I might as well, given the occasion. Now is your chance to understand me a little bit better.

Stay tuned for more announcements! We're not stopping here!

I was surprised to find that this category didn't exist yet.
This is no longer the case, thanks to :iconmoonbeam13: we have an appropriate category for xWidget :D

Customization > Skins & Themes > System Monitoring > xWidget www.deviantart.com/customizati…


We're moving xWidgets to this category now, you might get some notes

Info: XWidget is a free desktop customization platform. It’s light, handy with powerful visual widget editor and very smooth animations.

Official website: xwidget.com/
(Oh and before anyone asks, no, I'm not abandoning Rainmeter)

Thanks, if there are any concerns about the customization sector, please let me know in the comments!

+ $100 Desktop Contest

Ladies and Gentlemen

After almost 18 months, we're finally proud to announce
The Grand release of Omnimo 6.0.
The biggest
Most important
And likely, the last major update
In the lifecycle of this project.



Life's circumstances have a tendency to change rapidly, and indeed, both of us (me and Xyrfo) had experienced rather significant changes which kept us from activelly working on this project. We started it as we were teenagers, but we've grown up and our new lives have begun. Perhaps Omnimo is a tribute to this transition; a hobbyist project that had become more serious with every release. We put our faith in the hope that our efforts were not in vain, and that the long wait had been worth it.

In our previous releases, we hesitated making the changelog out of fear that we won't cover everything that we've worked on. Incidentally, it's also the case for Omnimo 6.0 - we've improved it so much, I don't even know where to begin describing it. Instead, I'll leave it up to you to see and experience the new features.

In the next several weeks, I will try to produce a series of Informational bulletins that will showcase some of the features, both obvious and hidden - revolving around this new version.

TL;DR: It's here

Meanwhile, to celebrate the Grand Release,
we're officially announcing a contest:

CONTEST OVERVIEW

We like to see how people use Omnimo, and even more so the interesting ideas people come up with. There had been similar contests before which were quite fun. This time we have fantastic prizes!
RULES:


» Omnimo must be used as the centerpiece
» Do not use any age inappropriate material on your desktop
» You may enter up to 3 screenshots
» Screenshots must be preferably PNG and submitted to Customization>Screenshots>Windows
» To enter, post a comment with the link or thumbnail to your Deviation in the comments section of this journal
» Do not use multiple DeviantArt accounts to get more entries

JUDGING & PRIZES


Your desktops will be judged both by us and by the community. There won't be a specific standard of measurement for quality or originality, so pretty much everyone has a chance of winning.

The best desktops may be subject to a voting / poll, for 3 days after the contest is over. Winners will be announced after 2 weeks and 3 days from now, prizes to be paid in cash by PayPal transfer (can be negotiated if you don't have PayPal), we'll be spending a whooping $100 out of our lunch money for the prizes:



Let the games begin, may the odds be ever in your favor.
And remember: participation matters.

Hey guys, I haven't written anything in a while, just thought I'd update my journal with the essentials.

As some of you probably heard, I recently graduated college in Denmark and received my degree as a Multimedia Designer :D
Although I think I've learned more about design in these years here on DeviantArt making projects and such, the experience of studying in Denmark and expanding my circle of friends was certainly worth it. This was one of the main reasons why I've been rather inactive lately, the other reason being is that I'm working full time in London right now. 

But not to worry, my side-projects are all up and running. This includes Omnimo, me and Xyrfo went back on track recently and we're close to an internal beta test. Those pesky TextItems won't fix themselves though (we did have an infrastructure upgrade, again.).

In addition to Omnimo, I'll have 2 interesting projects coming up soon. Won't spoil much, but one is web-based, somewhat similar to the infamous Windows Update prank, but cooler. And the other one is a desktop-customization project that may just change the way you use wallpapers :)

Now about the Download button issue. We heard you, you wanted the download button to be more visible and less confusing. 
Seems like an overwhelming amount of people agree that the current state of the download button is rather ridiculous.

I'll address this issue with the top people on DeviantArt, and hopefully it's something that can be resolved quite soon.

Thank you for voicing your opinion. And if there are any other concerns about the website or the community in general, please let me know ^^
