Meik Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 He's using Windows Blinds a program that totally changes your theme like Style XP. It isn't free and its the Vista theme, thats exactly what Vista will look like. Hey look, i'm logging in to MSN. Hooray! Anyway, here's mine, nothing too fancy. +rep to anyone who knows what coaster it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMarimon Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 What theme are you using there? I like the look of it! EDIT: Spose I should post mine as well... There ya go! 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.

Ashley Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Still not bothered to update with fancy arse looks, too much effort for me. Spiffy new wallpaper though, not made by me but ah well, its shiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted April 7, 2006 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendork Posted April 15, 2006 Share 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.

Blackfox Posted April 15, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendork Posted April 15, 2006 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
