No, he's running XP...

Yea, running XP - not Vista.

There are plenty of total transformation packs for XP, and stuff like widgets you can use for goodies on your desktop. There is one application in particular, called Talisman. Have a search for it. It's probably the most powerful theming application you get.

My bad

Ya I know Talisman... stoped when my 30 day trial times out

I was very impressed... never had it long enough to try my own theme for it though...

I think it is called Desktop Sidebar or something (almost like the top bar on your pick) I also quite liked... oh then there is Konfabulator too I guess... so many options

I assume you're using Samurize right?

If you are, what plugin are you using for the weather? And what is your weather source?

Spin · Post by **Spin** » 07 Sep 2006, 11:00

Nah, I'm using Kapsules and the Weather.widget.

With this widget you have to enter your location code, which you can aquire from weather.com by searching for your location. You'll find the code in the url to your location page

Kapsules rawk

I downloaded and installed it.

It's not that cool. Samurize is FAR better. Sure it's alot more effort to get setup, but once it's done, it looks amazing and does EXACTLY what you want it to.

Spin · Post by **Spin** » 08 Sep 2006, 02:37

Please share with me, via PM if necessary, why Samurize is better. No really, if it's convincing enough, I'm gonna get it

I agree Dae Kapsules only look good but very little control over the widgets And not all of them work quite so well, ya so i agree from a functionality point samurai is much more powerfull and full controll of what you put on your desktop.

8O HOLY ****

Widescreen monitor? What size? 23" ? That's friggin massive.

Awesome theme by the way. Where did you find those icons? I love them!

Off-The-Chart · Post by **Off-The-Chart** » 08 Sep 2006, 15:43

Damn Synth, do you have to go into the next room to see the other half of the screen?

synthetix_ · Post by **synthetix_** » 08 Sep 2006, 15:50

Its my 19" LCD (1280 x 1024) + 17" CRT (1280 x 1024) ...

Dual screens

O and the app I use for themes is called "tuneup utilities 2006".
Trail version is available... I have reg key

It has also alot of different utils like reg tweaker and problem fix,
Disk maintanance etc.

It is compatible with most theme packs out there.
The icons is one of the icon packs that you can download.

Also other programs im using in conjunction with that is an exe file called statsbar that gives realtime display on certain system elements... ( the red trans bar above the taskbar.)
Also Object doc that gives me the icons on the right...
These icons also animate and become magnified if your mouse cursor moves over them...
Here is pic.
