i like both your setups Dagonet' but i like the bottom wall the most care to share where u got it from ?

mine for this month, mac inspired but not pretending to be another imitation

It's been a little while since I posted here... notice the new desktop picture desklet.

Desktop
Clicky Clicky Clicky!!!


EDIT

I just figured that since school is over and I don't have to work, I can get away with having something pretty to look at when I'm working at my desktop... a little colour on the icons doesn't hurt either.

Clicky Clicky Clicky!!! (2)

Ok so here is my desktop, spent about a week trying to figure out how i wanted it to be, then a day (12 hours or so) working on the design and implementation of it.

Also the background image changes once an hour (on a timer), but no matter what because the side bars are transparent it always looks good. Of course it's all XPized too.

Screeny

Nice desktop. What is that sidebar/where can I get it? Also, how do you get your wallpaper to change every hour? Thanks.

Thanks

The sidebar is a theme i made for samurize (http://www.samurize.com) - get that, and my theme is also on the site under the downloads section.

The wall paper changing, is part of the XP power toys pack - which can be found on Microsofts site, or through google.

@iCEhOT: You need this for complete XPizing Can you refer me to the file that holds the icon the inthe folders called "Jodeys PDA my documents" and "Pocket PC my DOcuments"? Is it a windows file, or you installed a third party app/driver?

Hey, the folders were placed on my desktop after installing ms activesync, and the software for my HP iPaq. If you want to know anything else about them, let me know.

Woot!

Noooooooooooo, not a mac!!

Hehe, i wish i could afford one tbh

But it's Windows

@Rickie - Which VS do you use? I Like it.

I like dark visual styles. I have found one, but it's not good enough, so if anyone knows a good one let me know...

Clicky

The VS is PM2K5, you can find the whole sweet Here

Thank you

what do you think abou mine?

Where did you get the middle bottom picture in the Longhorn Wallpapers folder? Everything looks pretty nice, although I'm not much of a dark theme person myself.

it's not a "real" Longhorn wallpaper . i found it on google search

@phex. how do you get the transparent look man...btw....great shot of your desktop

There are a couple ways to get that effect, including stuff like some built-in nVidia tools, as well as having programs that simply have the feature built-in, but I prefer glass2k.

@techno_funky - Aha, I see your a Linkin Park fan too

yes you are correct, I do that with Nview with my Nvidia card; but for me is very useful for msn and web surf at the same time.

Hey all,

I'm still very new to the windows visual customization theme, so I have a question. How do you get those the hard drive icon and status in Rickie and DBarras desktop (top right corner)?

Many thanks,

phire

I believe they're using Avedesk

Thanks so much!
One more question: Do the icons come with the Avedesk package?

phire

I Think comes with Sum Stardard Icons and the rest u gotta Search for and stuff i think but not 100% sure on it most programs like dat do have few stardard and rest u gotta get urself.

here it is my desktop, usually as clean as possible

Start menu: Painkiller. No Nag Shareware.

Titlebar buttons: Eppie Desktop. Free.

Windows: Windowblinds 2.1 (Soon to be replaced by Tihiys' LameSkin. Shareware, old (but still good) and a bit hard to find. Windowblinds home

Explorer Tree: TreeHugger from Grigri. Awesome! Free.

Context Menu: Hee, hee... gotta hold something back for later.

@nitebat

i couldnt stand having that as my theme, way 2 hard on the eyes, not 2 mention (IMO) ugly

good job tho, gotta get something outta 98 lol

Wow... that's a really bright desktop...I dunno... but yellow just doesn't suit computers. Fast cars and motorcycles, sure... but yellow Windows just doesn't seem to work...

Pretty cool that you were able to get that going on Win98 though... I thought that you were pretty much limited to changing your wallpaper.


Regarding the question about icons for AveDesk, you can find lots of them on DeviantArt and just by using Google. Do a bit of searching and you can find hundreds.

lol nice good way to prove that 95 can look pretty lol

Heres mine:-

Finally got the Start button changed too. Took a while but nothing like trying to do things with MS stuff to mess around with your head.


(edited 7:50pm, hope it works this time)

Hey, Army, that plugin looks cool. Does it really do anything like play music or anything? I've never seen it before.

I don't know how Army did it, but I know you can do that with AveDesk and AveTunes. Have a look at the Aqua-Soft forums for more info. (Google is your friend)

Desktop for May (a bit late). Trying to be happy with the wallpaper here.
