OP
Pitkon - I remember it, but I was too busy playing with all the other toys out at the time. :) <BR>(Seems like for a while there, every programmer out there was working on a shell.) <BR>I know that the web site is a blank page, which is a shame. <BR>And desktopian has a list of the original development team member names, but truthfully, i have no idea what ever happened to the shell, or why it stopped. <BR> <BR>http://desktopian.org/icesphere.html <BR> <BR>On the other hand, if you want to share the themes that you have, you&acute;re welcome to upload them here. (we do have an empty section for them) <BR>hint-hint :) <BR>And, who knows? You may find that by posting them, someone may end up contacting you... <BR>{:p

Oh. Sorry. <BR>When you said original, I thought you meant that they were originals from YOU. <BR>Unfortunately, uploading others stuff isn&acute;t allowed... <BR>:( <BR>

Oh no, buddy! <BR>You don&acute;t earn points by throwing somebody else to the wolves! <BR>I think a certain member with a brand new icon just volunteered for duty. <BR>In his spare time, of course... <BR> :devil

Thanks for replying, Falcon. I really hope we all can put something together - we have some brilliant admins here. (I&acute;m expecting points for this... Lol). <BR>And if the next post comes from Mars, I won&acute;t be surprised. Skinbase seems to have a looooong reach... Kudos.

This is almost entertaining. I am the current owner of IceSphere.net. I purchased the domain name early this year as a method to post some of my projects, mostly written in Java. At the time I was jobless and was trying to fill my time with something productive. Fortunately, or unfortunately. depending on how you look at it, I found a job shortly there after and as a result I have had very little time to spend on leisure coding projects. <BR> <BR>It wasn&acute;t until about a month or so after I purchased the domain name that I found out that IceSphere was a &quot;closed-source&quot; replacement shell for Windows. The only contact that I found was the publicist for IceSphere. According to this contact, the original developers were going to do something with IceSphere.com and were moving away from IceSphere.net. Earlier this year IceSphere.com was in operation, however, today it is a dead link. Please realize that once I found out I tried contacting the original developers. It’s not my way to “steel” someone else’s domain name. <BR> <BR>As winter nears closer and closer I will probably look for more indoor activities/projects to help shorten the time spent in the fridged cold. So if the people on this board want to do something with IceSphere.net, may it be as simple as an information page about the current status of IceSphere the Shell, or as complex as trying to bring this project back to life, drop me a line and maybe we all can put something together. <BR> <BR>Peace, <BR>Falcon <BR>Falcon@IceSphere.net

Or you could steal one like Snow did... LOL <BR>Seriously, when I first started here I was using an X-men icon. <BR>It&acute;s whatever you want to associate yourself with. <BR>We&acute;re proper here at the Base, but we ain&acute;t fanatics... <BR> <BR>Well, OK, maybe some of us are, but that&acute;s another story... {:p

We don&acute;t actually keep any apps here (well, except SkinMem) but if you come up with something, we&acute;ll set our link to it. (And we can&acute;t actually set our link to someone like Shell Ark, either.Not without their permission, that&acute;s for sure. :) ) We&acute;d need a link that doesn&acute;t mind the traffic...

Elwin, what about uploading the program itself (IceSphere Beta 2 Upgrated) to the Applications section? I mean the link there is there is broken. If this has to be done through another link, I can find one. Maybe we can stir up some interest... Lol. <BR>
