Ahhh.... better.....

[Betamax]

Oh what the hell. This ones mine ;) I've tried to show how the animated icons work and the transparant menus but it doesn't really come out all that well. Also the winamp 2 desktop plugin. However the coolest feature would be the minimize/maximize animations.

[Auri87]

normal windows aint that bad, give it a good wallpaper and some features and it looks fine :)

P.S. o yea, my cpu temp isnt really -1 although i wish it was, i still didnt configure that part yet

[Kane]

I use Eclipse OSX for StylesXP.
and the desktop image is Mahoro-san from Mahoromatic (I just started watching the second series.)

[yakumo fujii]

Can't see that Wallpaper, Sir Kane;)
Though I got a rough idea of what it's like.

[cooliscool]

Best skin. :wave:

[Kane]

>Can't see that Wallpaper

It's on the right hand side. I use a multi-monitor setup.

[Quatro]

I like Beta's... what OS is that by the way???

I like the side icon very much...

[Samor]

hm, that reminds me, does anyone know a good skin program or something like that for win98 that is free (like in, no shareware)?

[Quatro]

skin for what??? internet explorer??? or desktop theme or something???

[_E_]

Actually, I used this pic in another thread, but anyway, here you go:

[winter_mute]

Auri87: What is that utilyty on the top
of screen??? Looks great.....
.......!!!

[Auri87]

its called samurize. its quite hard to get the hang of at first but once u do its fun, u can customize it anyway u want

u can get it here http://www.samurize.com/
if u need and tips on how to get started or use it, u can PM me and ill try my best to help :)

[Zapages]

Here's mine with the start menu clicked

[Zapages]

Here's mine with the all the background...

[jegHegy]

hmm, i don't like such shell addons, they eat precious memory...

nyaa

[Kane]

Style XP and Windowblinds XP don't eat up memory. Styles XP uses XP's built in skinning, and Windowblinds is based on it.

[jegHegy]

but i guess other OS's don't have built-in skin support...

nyaa

[Decoy_Octopus]

what do u use, ninja?

[Kane]

That shot of Ninja's is a Windowblinds skin taht is only avalible if you register with NOE IIRC.

[Decoy_Octopus]

just curious because his was pretty cool, since im not a nintendo fanboy i would never consider such a desktop.

[Ninjaa]

Heh. Decoy, the one I posted was the one I wish I was using. :D I am not a European resident, so apparently I can't get it.

In actuality, I use the Windows Classic skin in Windows XP with the slate color scheme.

[RF]

hrm, is this going to be the new perpetual desktop thread? :P

[Decoy_Octopus]

man im a noob to this... how do u apply these windowblind skins that you download?

[winter_mute]

U`ve got 2 download WindowBlind first,
then install it. After installation program will asociate witch windblind skinpacks files - & after that all U have 2 do is double click on skin & winblind will auto... aply it 2 your desktop

That`s all. Easy - isn`t it? :)

[Melhisedek]

First
Auri87
Where did you find your desktop background and what resolution is it ???
Where can I download such great "shells" or mods to my desktop. Never heard of it before :(
Thanks in advance !

[Kid A]

Hey Auri87 that background looks great... but wtf is it? :D I use StyleXP, with the ForeverBlue theme. :)

[Hanamichi]

This is my desktop. I should get a theme...

[jegHegy]

naw, you only need a good wallpaper ^^ check http://www.animewallpapers.com

nyaa

[Hadji]

Try this one, Han:
http://freethemes.proxad.net/preview/69785.html

It's a little som'n I made years ago, shortly after Tenchu came out. I've since revised it for my personal use, changing everything that's bright grey to almost black. Darker is better when you're awake all night. :) I guess I could easily show an example of how most things look now...

[Auri87]

my wallpaper is called Liquid Flower, the resolution is at 1280 x 960 and its just some abstract computer art, i dont think its supposed to be anything. i forgot where i got it, this wallpaper is quite old and heres a copy of the original if u want it
Melhisedek: some good places if u want themes would be http://www.wincustomize.com/

[winter_mute]

And another link 2 site with styles/boot_logos/Login_screens 4 WinXP

http://www.themexp.org/

[TalkingANUS]

hey winter_mute, what program did you use on your first screen of Win98?

[Hanamichi]

Thanks Hadji, I'll try downloading the theme tommorow as my connection is now $#(%ed up. :) But I saw the maker's name, Keith... which raises questions. Are you Wormie in disguise?:eek:
Auri(if you were adressing the post to me): I'd use a different wallpaper, but I dont like the icon text in light blue boxes so Im using no wallpaper. Thanks anyway :)

[Hadji]

Nah, I'm not anyone else in disguise. Thet is, indeed, my actual name, though even most of my friends (and even a friend's mother) call me Hadji.

I don't have the same background that I originally packaged with the theme (that changes randomly), but I like most of the sounds I used. I removed the startup and shutdown sounds, just for speed's sake, and i lowered the volume on the critical error sound (way too loud when wearing headphones).

I would like to have packaged a screensaver with it, but I couldn't really think of anything to do. I'm not about to just throw some screenshots in a slideshow, as that's just damn dull. Anyhow...
