blota.beta3 is finished
it doesn't have as many new features as we hoped to
but we discovered that it will work smoother if we release in small updates instead of large ones

so here is the download

blota.description
Blota started as a main menu replacement that was going to look like TheBlackParrot�s desktop. Since then, it has changed to look more like the Ubuntu desktop. Once we created the �top bar�, I thought about putting that over while you are playing. I did it, and TBP and I started to love it, so we expanded on it. So before you call it a �new desktop� or �main menu replacement�, also say that it is more than that.

blota.features

blota.desktop
blota.bar
The time (24 hour mode)
Your name (you might forget, you know!)
A status icon of your RTBC status. (Clickable to change)
Number of players playing, and online in RTB Connect.
We plan to add more, but that�s all there is for now.
blota.notifs
and more!

If you're going to base it off Unity, make the notifications look better and use the Humans icon set.
