I show an average of 20%-30% cpu use.(I have a low-end PC)so this would work ok for me.It runs pretty smoothly on my machine,no problems running it at all.
I think you could slow down the orbits,seems a bit too fast and they'll be distracting to some people.Also the planet with the ring on it needs to be locked to it's ring,it can be dragged off of it,leaving a broken ring.I knew I could break something,it's my hobby.

You could add rings to one of the smaller planets to fill things out,but I think the blue is a bit too bright,maybe just rock-looking?
You did a great job on this!

My DXbulder.exe shot up to about 50% and at the same time dwm.exe 30% +.



I got the same feeling. slowing it down would ease up on cpu.



There are a few planets that are not locked. I moved 2 of the smaller ones and they disappeared.


Its looking really good.

Good Job!

I just re-tested it and now that's what I'm getting as well except dwm is only at 20%.
I also wasn't running a DX theme at the time.It jumps to 70% with one in use.

Looking good - need to improve saturns rings - they get disassociated from saturn and also need to have the rings overlap saturn in the foreground of saturn and just be behind saturn at the rear.
You will get there,     Sorry about the Sri Lankan debacle.  

Thanks Ausvet for testing it. I too tested! it.... Well I don't know what to do when there are little no of scripted objects, everything is fine but as the number increases, It becomes crappy. I will remove script from moons, they will be just static objects with the planet revolving around sun.
And, I will remove a few animations.and will make the ring materialistic.

Or I have one more better alternative idea, I will divide this into several packs.
Like
1.. Sun Mercury Venus
2.. Earth, Mars, Jupiter
3.. saturn, Euranus, Neptune, Pluto
4.. Moons

In this way all the four separately won't be a hogger...and my tag of making 'hogger desktopx skins' will be removed. But thats an alternative idea....

However, I will try to include all in one pack first..And if I fail to do that then alternative idea zindabaad!!!

I think if you slow down the planets by itself. it should bring down CPU. not sure by how much though.

If that fails removing some scripts souled also reduce CPU.

If doing both above fails, then I would use you alternative ideas.


DX is very picky at times. My first fusion theme it used a lot of CPU.
I had to redo it and i used the same graphics and all. For some reason CPU went down.
I think in the first theme i did must of had some conflicting bugs in it.

Re making theme might make theme CPU usage go down too.
At least it worked for me.
