I'm using a skin for Windowblinds called "VistaXP" version 3.1 Good luck finding it, as it was so close to the actual thing, Microsoft demanded it be put away forever.

Posted March 11, 2006 I'm using a skin for Windowblinds called "VistaXP" version 3.1 Good luck finding it, as it was so close to the actual thing, Microsoft demanded it be put away forever.

Posted April 7, 2006 Got round to switching it so it looks more like Macs (just fancied it). Will give it a few days because the only plus point is the toolbar is fun to play with, but theres a few minor annoyances. I know its not actually Mac-like, but rather a copycat but still. But for now, everyone bask in my noir background :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 15, 2006 Mac OS X Tiger.. Erm, the applications are basically the standard ones that come with the operating system. The little purple icon is NeoOffice (which is basically open office for mac) the screenshots program is called Snap 'n' Drag which is far superior than the built in screenshot facilities in Mac OS X. Then there's Transmission which is a BitTorrent client for mac.. the best I've found. Sorry for the mess.. that's how I live on the pooter.. the wallpaper is for inspiration, if you'd like it you can find it at here. @ 1024x768 Any questions about customising Mac OS X and good applications let me know and I'll help you out.. I only tweak little things like you can see my dock is clear because that used to fuck me off and my chat program is pretty rad 'Adium' I don't go overkill, simplicity, time saving and performance are pretty key.. though judging my desktop it probably doesn't seem that way.

Posted April 15, 2006 Hacked a theme and found a neat desktop on DA. Opinions? Also: Anyone know how to rid myself of the annoying blue highlighting on the desktop items? It looks shitty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 15, 2006 Start > Control Panel > Display > One of the tabs > One of the graphical performance tweak things > The second left on the high street > Enable clear text on icons [note this may hinder graphical performance] > Yawn > Click Yes to continue. Done. Sorry I can't be clearer.. it's in there somewhere, I seem to remember it being part of the NVidia desktop stuff.. I've not used Windows in a long time but you can change everything even the fonts and colours to make it clearer on XP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
