The textures are actually quite good (the backgrounds is a bit overdone maybe...) . Everything nicely done.

I disagree... I feel like the shelf doesn't have enough texture to match the background. Some shelf supports would be nice to see also.

One of my faves, though I agree the shelves should have had more texture. Beware, the installer doesn't work properly without all the files, so you'll have to show package contents and install manually.

this is my theme, but not quite....the download is missing the 3 shelftalker files for some reason. I resent the archive to Phill but would be happy to send it to anyone that's interested. the name labels should be cream colored with slightly straigher masked edges. see

for reference.

I like this one a lot, but perhaps a little bit of blur on the background would give an impression of depth of field and also help to tone down the background which is quite strong.

Love the bricks but not the shelves.

Installed but then Delicious Library wouldn't start for me at all.

I like this one. Would agree with supports for shelves but I'll keep this!!! Good Job!!!

rather interestingly, I just realized that these example shots on these pages are NOT screenshots from the software, but more probably photoshop combinations of the layers. there is no position of the size slider I can find that gives the combination of brick sizes and shelf height/dvd box heights shown in these entry samples. everyone should definitely download the files of the entrants before voting.

Nice Idea, backround a little distracting- shelves, um, pretty ugly/simple- could be better!

It sucks that the 2nd and the 3rd place entries don't deviate from each other all that much. I guess all we needed to do is include some bricks to win anything.
