I've uploaded the theme because I couldn't find it anywhere. I forgot where I've downloaded it.
The icons... the sets I used were: Black and White and NuoveXT 1.6 and Vista-Inspirat 1.0. I don't have the direct links to them, but I'm sure you'll like to browse this site here: http://www.guistyles.com. Has a bunch of good looking icons

No, don't get startled!

It's for Gnome, but they're in png, so you'll just need to convert'em to ico. I'd really like to upload them for you, but my connection is awful today =\ and there're some icons I have made myself (My Pics, My videos, My music, a bunch more)

A very useful desklet of AveDesk 1.3, the Translator. Comes in the 1.3 package. It is not offline unfortunately. Yeah, it is very cool and useful I say, I have used so much in a French-speakers forum, and everyone understood I what I said (or what the translator traslated

). I recommend it.

Thanks =).
Thats a hard decision. I have tested both - shell mod and programs to change icons. The best you can do is to use both at same time. I say this because Shell Modding is hard and dangerous sometimes, but it hasn't Icon Cache problems and you can change more than icons. Afaik, icon progs can just modify file and folder icons, and I'm sure it'll be loaded in memory (not the Program itself, but the icon cache). Shell Mod is not so safe cause you can't modify some files, and some icon programs can modify the icons in these dangerous files.
If I was you, I'd mod the following shells only (and carefully!): Shell32, Mshtml, Url, Urlmon, cmdial32, rasdlg and Msgina. Then you use a program like iPhile (good prog) to change the other icons.

Last thing, if someone wants my hacked icons, just PM ok? =)

My Latest

As you can see, no more Mac. I decided to make my desktop basic again on my new Hard Drive. Wanted as much CPU as possible as soon as my 6200 came in

ChaosBlade · December 30th, 2005

I think the 6200 represents something different then power ;]

Nice though.

Last desktop for the year. Same Vista Theme but with a sexy chick for the wall.

The thumbnail screenshot over the taskbar is done by a program called Visual Tooltip. A nice getaway for me from the apple dock clones even though the program isn't as smooth as I would like but it's functional none the less.

I find it rather lacking in the visual style department lately. WB5's transparent goodness is nice, but not at the cost of the new protection they put in there (if the app thinks you're trying to pirate it, aka, any file it uses gets invalidated, it effectively makes your computer unusable, all UI elements go unpainted-ly black and the system slows down considerably).

**MiretanK** · December 31st, 2005

@zman: another great desktop zman, good to finish 2005 in great style =) the wallpaper, can you post it?

I understand this perfectly =\

Well, here goes my last pic of 2005. A bit quiet and sad... =\ no desktop enhancement here (no docks, avedesks, konfabs... only a small screen of samurize... - do you remember the last time I have put normal icons in my desktop??

) and no news since my last mod.
Well, thats it. Have a great new year everyone

zman982 · December 31st, 2005

Here you go, Miretank.

P.S. Just acquired a Jessica Alba Wallpaper, wall maybe a little old but it never hurts to have a little Alba.
