Let me start off. Just take a screenshot of your desktop (i hope you know, I am assuming that you know how to do this.) Well, to take a screenshot just hit the Prt Scrn key on your keyboard (on the right of F12) and upload.

Here's mine:

Since everyone is posting there desktop I decided to post mine. That sh*t on the top left is my Media Center watching live tv. The sh*t on the top right of the screen is part of my desktop. It tells me the weather outside, it displays info of any song I play, quick links to folders, post notes (like homework), clock, CPU USAGE (processor & ram), internet connection (in & out), list of processes (cpu & ram), drive info (free, total, & used space), computer temperature, calander, misc. sh*t, quick links to favorite websites, & shortcuts (logoff, shutdown, & reboot).

Oh Boy!

I would post the image directly but I have a widescreen, might miss some sh*t for fools that don't side scroll.

Obviously it isn't a Mac, but your saying that the desktop is the sh*t when its basically the Black version of the Luna theme (the default theme of XP). I mean, I even have a copy of Media Center Edition. Everyone has an opinion, and I don't mean to sound cocky, but my desktop is the best.

he's using WindowBlinds 5 which has alpha blending (that allows the taskbar to be translucent). You can only get that effect on the Enhanced version of WB. If you're just using a regular Visual Style, then there's a program called TransBar which allows you to set the opacity of your taskbar.

quad cores arent that fast, dont believe all the apple hype you read. in fact i have seen a single amd 4200 x2 with less ram perform almost as well as the quadcores in bench marks, a amd x2 system will cost you xxxx less than the BS quadcore.

I'm not talking about Apple's benchmarks. The only real way to test the speed differences is to try and use the same appz such as Photoshop and Maya. Plus you have to factor in the OS differences. The quad core is nothing to be fu*ked with.

Obviously you have no clue who I am so please refrain from posting idiotic and ignorant posts. sh*t, my laptop is probably better than 98% of Boxden's computer's, no matter what they have. My desktop is most definitly better than any member's on Boxden's no doubt.

^^^ to get it back to "normal", unload windowblinds and uninstall it. no need for windowblinds, all you need is to patch your UXTheme.dll and you can apply Visual Styles without all your RAM being eaten.
best advice so far.

google the informatin about uxtheme.dll patch. you'll find what you're looking for to tweak the way windows looks. I was thinking about windowblinds, but decided against it. I just have a patched dll, VS, RKlauncher, and i changed a few icons manually.

patch your uxtheme.dll file and download a visual style. the visual style should be name.msstyle (sometimes it comes with a shell folder, that's also necessary). just put the msstyle and the shell folder in C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes folder and double click on the msstyle file. It will bring up the display options with the msstyle in the preview. click ok, and the theme will be applied.

I made my Windows box look like OSX, but you can easily tell its Windows because I do not have a Finder (OSX's Taskbar). I have OSX on my slave drive, but I don't use it until Shapeshifter is released for it.

I know 2 people on boxden who have Macs.

As for Visual Styles, there's about a million ports of skins coming from OSX. A good place to get them would be http://guistyles.com/

It's easy to distinguish between OSX and Windows. OSX's Lucida Grande font is much thicker and richer than Windows' ClearType, which is skinnier.

this depends on if you decide you put the RKLauncher folder into Program Files. But if anything, extract it into your Themes folder in your RK folder.

G-Lock, is that windowblinds?

yo, anyone else have a problem with winamp cd case? I love the idea of it, but any time I use it it freezes up a lot, slows down my computer, etc.. and the winamp plugin part, what makes it a winamp plugin besides the fact that it opens when you open winamp? I love the idea of this, but it doesn't work for me..

it doesnt freeze up for me:confused:
