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

nyaa

**Kane** · November 19th, 2002, 23:02

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

Heh. Decoy, the one I posted was the one I wish I was using.

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 · November 21st, 2002, 03:08

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

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?

Hadji · December 2nd, 2002, 19:30

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...

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 · December 3rd, 2002, 20:48

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...
