As much as I like the Space Shuttle launch wallpaper I have been using (see end of March thread), it is a new month and time for a change.
I drive a Toyota 86, although mine is a plain red in color and not as low to the ground as this one:

The city of Seattle in the Shadowrun role playing game, circa 2072.
EDIT: Here is where I got the two files to make the wallpaper shown below. Scroll down to the "SEATTLE 2072" section for the individual pictures at different resolutions: Shadowrun wallpapers. There are other cool wallpapers as well.

So for this month, something different. About 2 weeks ago we picked up a new lens for our camera, and I love the quality and detail it captures. We also just got the keys to our new house! The house comes with a shed in the backyard which is a BIG plus for me, and I snapped this photo of an old vice left on the workbench. A few tweaks in Lightroom and it's ready for the Desktop.
I must get my photography head back from the menders... lol!
Dover (South Foreland) lighthouse circa 1940...
Kent doesn't look so beautiful these days...
In game shot... ultra low quality on my mac since the last update. Still looks great IMO.

My humble contribution to this thread this early April
Wallpaper is my color mod of SPLINES_1 available from here (name a fair price) https://gumroad.com/jmdenis
Bowtie theme is one of my older ones that I thought needed a showcase for this - because it fits well. I don't think it's released in this appearance anywhere yet.
And I doubt anyone uses much of Bowtie anyway anymore.
Icons are my own - still in progress - drive is re-made earlier today with better lower pixel recognition for that 16px and 32px icon states.
The system icons are made possible to change, even with SIP still active, by using IconChamp. It's in beta and available on the macEnhance Discord server at least.
The pinned messages for the IconChamp channel contains useful information to allow testing and change the system icons; including all the Home folders and System applications.
IconChamp screenshot is included as a thumbnail - showing the Home folder section

Alan, this is bringing back so much nostalgia! Gosh, I miss MacThemes.
Believe you me.. I too miss those days. I can't get my time machine to work or else you'd all be welcome to join.
Is it because of newer Mac - an M1 Mac?
Bowtie has a thing for Spotify in order to fully work like in the past. It functions fine here, I know that's not saying much.
Yesterday, I logged in on Spotify's website and use Opera's Spotify player sidebar and even that one would make Bowtie pick up on artist, track and time remaining.
Again, that's Spotify.
Music app on Big Sur and iTunes before that has major issues with Bowtie or the other way around in that Music isn't an option for Bowtie to pick up on.
The only way to make Music on Big Sur appear for Bowtie is to edit the plist for Music to have it identify as iTunes and even then there's no real time remaining - Bowtie does pick up on artist and track however. There's also the option of installing the iTunes version via Retroactive.
I haven't yet tried installing the lowest available version number in that app for use with Bowtie. I think there's something more missing in order to get right back to where it all was working when Bowtie was released.
Thanks Allan... I tried editing the plist to no avail.
I don't use Spotify.
I'll give it a miss for the time being.
MacThemes... those were the days!
I really do miss the days of tossing a theme on my dock or icons with CandyBar. I miss the way OS X looked in general back then, hell I miss the way Finder was laid out going back to Panther and Tiger. Loved those days. Dead simple to use and lightning fast.
Anyway, here's a shot of my Windows 10 Desktop.
Can't beat the classics.

Decided to change things up a bit - using some Juice icons from Michael Flarup at Apply Pixels and I decided to change up the old Mousecape icon too.
The wallpaper is one that was made to help out a friend who saw a video on a possible new iMac M1 - I could not find the wallpaper and so there was only left to try making a similar one.
Credit goes to Khahn Design who made a video mockup of that iMac published everywhere
Wallpaper available on my deviantart account at /allannyholm
