What is your fav color/theme?

[hermit]

so its just a matter of icons skinning?

http://www.geocities.com/bantoniou.rm/luna.rar doesn't work

i dont' exactly mean that. i mean like i wanna put some separators in the quick launch bar to group them. you know like in internet explorer, u get those separators to group stuff?...i wanna do the same in quick launch

instead of a bunch of icons,( I haf a lot of icons in quick launch, cuz i open most progz that i used from there...quicker access), i want some separators to group them

i saw screenshots of ppl's quick launch bar like that, and i m wondering if they create new toolbars for each group

ex. creating a toolbar for internet stuff, one for multimedia...etc...

i don't wanna do that

[hermit]

one more thing

i just installed powertoy

how come i haf a weird title name for the audio player toolbar? (what the is that?)

and i don't haf all the icons u haf

(what the?..where is the upload in this forum?..just a tiny image that i wanna upload!)

Sorry about that:

I understand how you feel Hermit, I hate not being able to attach.

Here goes:

Audio player, is what I've been telling you all along about the MS powertoys.

When you Add it make sure to do the following, so it looks like mine.

01. Right click taskbar::>toolbars::> audioplayer

02. then make sure to have "unlock taskbar"

03. uncheck show title/text

04. Click no the icon that has and upward icon (it opens a play list)

05. Select Options, click on (add volume button)

06. Check my screenshot (sorry I just changed my theme.. hope that doesn't confuse you)

07. Zaxxon is just a stupid title if you want to change it goto (upward.. eject looking button...click options..change title)

You can group them like this?

Leave Taskbar Unlock Select the folder with your (games) check my screenshot: I just added my personal folder that I have on my brother's comp.

Another way which is probably a very cool way, check it out

http://www.truelaunchbar.com/screens.html

check thier skins: http://www.truelaunchbar.com/skinslib/index.php

but it costs $$ :-(

I'm still consued... maybe a screenshot ? might give me an idea or so...

how do u put in an attachment aaronxp?

[hermit]

i should haf looked into the audio player thing further

haha

thx babis

one question comes up now

am i suppose to open the style xp thingy each time i boot to windows

cuz now sometimes when i click on a .theme file, they just give me the classic windows look, and when i click on the appearance tab, i only see windows xp style and windows classic look. All the themes that i installed are gone....and then if i open stylexp again, then i get my themes listed back

i thought stylexp is already integrated into my system and i don't hafta open it each time i open windows

btw, nice wallpaper there...a dark theme with a dark wallpaper looks pretty convincing...though i don't like that windowsxp logo on that wallpaper

can u up that?

[hermit]

i think the ms powertoy one is a lot better the winamp one for the following reasons:

1. playlist button

2. don't hafta open the prog- the winamp one do

though i don't like the fact that the ms one, u hafta create a playlist for every song u wanna play....why can't i just pick a song?

question:

i find that after i installed stylexp, my auto hide feature for the taskbar works pretty bad. Whenever i haf a window maximized, the taskbar won't come up (cuz its hided). If the window (no windows on my desktop) is not maximized, then the taskbar will come up

haf that problem?

Here is the wallpaper:

http://www.themexp.org/view_info.php?id=2468

Click on StyleXP: you get 2 options

enable stylexp

run at startup

Check the first one and you're all set!

If you want have both on, and then make stylexp autohide always in taskbar. [to do so, right click on the systray area:::> properties:::> customize:::> select stylexp (always hide)

To install the themes, make sure they are in the directory of

Example:

windows/resources/themes/Prophecy(folder)

Having windows/resources/themes/prophecy.theme

Then to select the theme right click on desktop, properties, themes(tab) and select prophecy etc...

[b:6cbf9a4ee2]Note:[/b:6cbf9a4ee2]

Some themes don't come with .theme files, I have no respect for the authors that are too lazy to do that!!!!

Also, some themes come in more than 1 color, to check goto display/properties/appearance/and check one of the scroll down menus for additional variations to their themes...

Example: Prophecy has 2 colors, coughdrop has a few, toothpaste has a few etc...

I have my taskbar at college on autohide and haven't had any problems. Odd that your autohide doesn't work properly.

For my autohide, all I need to do is move the cursor to the taskbar and it appears...

I've already switched to only using the new ms auido toy, but I hope it is better than before. (it was released a while back but had quite a few bugs) So far so good.......

[hermit]

ya i understand those stuff that u talked about stylexp

i haf enable xp on, and run at startup off

the problem is (i don't know if it is cuz i booted windows) sometimes i don't haf any xp themes at all...all of them are gone and i hafta open stylexp again

now this leads to my question about what's the difference between checking run at startup or not

i checked my startup stuff, and i found out that even if i haf it off, it still opens this:

c:program filestgtsoftstylexpstylexp.exe /hide

so its still running?

[hermit]

i suppose they are just hiding the system tray again

but the prog is still running?

=no difference

[babis]

ya it's still running...
