plzz tell me where u got that theme didamangi.. and btw does it have any other colors?

didamangi · September 6th, 2003

It's on themexp.org, search the visual style section and unfortunately no, it only has this color.

Too bad the authors doesn't update the theme.
I wish I can erase the windows logo and the start text on the start menu.

**Betamax** · September 7th, 2003

Well thought it's prob's about time I added mine. Screenshots aren't a good way to show it, but it'll do

. Anyways I'm using object desktop as my shell. I've kinda taken stuff that I liked from various Os'es and combined them into one

.

DesktopX2 powers most of the stuff. It adds DirectX to your desktop (kinda like longhorn will). Anyways: the calendar is a javascript based desktop object. The start button is a plugin that opens the normal XP start menu. Tray object on the buttom right. Normal desktop icons zoom to full view on mouseovers.

The taskbar is replaced by objectdock, which works similiar to that of the one in OSX. The icons are from KDE, applied using iconpackager. Finally the windowblinds skin is modelled after WMP9.

What you can't see is the effects applied when dragging/minizing/mazimizing windows.

Here's my desktop. I also included Winamp and Trillian because I always skin them so that they match my desktop.

Today I've reinstalled everything in my computer (in a new HDD

), and I decided to change everything in my desktop.
Now behold my new desktop (it has been a while since my last post on this thread):

I resized it to 800x600 to take the pic. I'm too lazy to resize the pic in some other program

BTW, I always use 1024 x 768

Yea, the 800x600 restriction has been removed because the bandwidth problems are gone supposedly. Tho, it may be a good idea to start resizing again because ngemu is getting real slow for me...
