Ok so now Konfabulator is free. which is better....konfab or Talisman desktop?

Btw wen i try to download konfab from its site, it says www.widgetgallery.com could not be found. Are there any alternative links where i can get it from?

They are not the same. Talisman is for complete shell replacment, Konfabulator allows you to use small programms on your desktop which can show some usefull info like you saw at the screenshots. I personally don't like Talisman but that's me, and as far as i know it's not freeware, Konfabulator is!. You can download Konfabulator here

Well... just got back from a nice weekend and found this in my PM box. I'll let this one slide since phillyman2004 is relatively new here.

I liked how you customized your desktop in the August post Here

What programs do i need , i dont want to slow down my machine with 20 different programs

I know AveDesk can do the nice icons , but how did you get the Calendar going down the screen ? and the Recycle bin change

Thanks

Right now i have AVE and Samurize as programs

First off to anyone who might read this, it's better to ask in the forums themselves since more people will have different inputs.

As for me, the only programs that I have running are AveDesk and WindowBlinds. As for the calendar, it's a slight modification of the Vertical Calendar docklet for SysStats. You can find all the info you want there as well as links to various SysStats configs.

If you have more questions about AveDesk or SysStats, you'll probably want to ask in the Aqua-Soft forums (AveDesk is under Ave's Apps).

For the Recycle Bin, I hid the default recycle bin with TweakUI (from Microsoft) and then AveDesk comes with a default Recycle Bin desklet (it's under the PidlShortcut desklet).

Most of the stuff you do with Samurize you can probably do with SysStats... you just need to know a little bit of scripting to make it work. If not, stick with Samurize - I don't think it's too bad on resources (I haven't used it in a while).

And to find icons... Google and DeviantArt. That's all I can say.

Happy modding!

*drools* Wallpaper please!?!?!!?!? That's really pretty.

Ok...i have a problem...I downloaded what i am pretty sure is a visual style. It comes as a zip file and contains various files like images, dlls and icons. There is also one file with an extension like .msstyle or some thing (dont remember correctly, sorry). Now the thing is..how do i apply this style? this is the first time i am doing this, so sorry if the explanation is simple.

Also, wht is the diference between a theme and a visual style? I tried to extract the above files into a subfolder in the windows\resources\themes\ folder, but it is not getected in the display properties. Probably since there is no .themem file in it. Any help?
