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?

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:

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...

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.......

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...
