Meh, a four-button combo? Typically Mac-people combos

It's a 4 button combo because of what it does, if people could do it accidentally they would panic!

SweetshopUnion, what is that notes & news feed tool bar you have going there? It looks pretty slick. Would you have a link to a download for it?

Thanks mate.

Looks like we have another one Bram!

I use Rainmeter to make up most of that desktop. It takes quite a bit of getting used too and does require some programming of the "skins" but nothing complex. After you use it for a while all will become much clearer.

If you have any issues at all PM Me or Bram and we can probably sort it out, or if you want just post in here and we will pick it up. Posting in here is probably a good thing as it could help others who may be having issues too. It seems people are getting into this Desktop Customization lark lately.

And I'll throw my expertise in now too, since I've gotten the hang of it all, or so I think.

Thanks SweetshopUnion, appreciate the link 👍

EDIT: Sweetshop, I just realized you had the same wallpaper as me. lol.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Ha! Now this thread is filled with copycats!

We should all take that same background just for kicks and mess this whole thing up

Thanks again SSU. It turns out pretty easy to customize once you get the hang of it. I just decided to build on top of the enigma theme that comes with it. Now to make my taskbar match the rest of the theme....

Deviantart is your friend. Customization -> Skins & Themes -> Windows Utilities (incase you're running XP) -> Visual Styles. There you have tons of visual styles, be sure to check out some styles made by a member called "lassekongo83". That guy has some sweet styles. 👍

If you type in "Rocketdock" or "Rainmeter" in the search field, you can find some pretty neat stuff as well.

Thanks Bram, I'll check them out right now.... could use a little extra inspiration. 👍

 

[Azuremen]

The visual style I am using is Kepsgubbe, by lassekongo83. And has Bram suggested, you should look over his stuff, some very good themes in there.

I went with Kepsgubbe because it fully inverts Windows, so all my text is White/Grey on Black/Dark grey. Much easier on my eyes, I feel.

You should try Concave VS by George Harrison, awesome visual theme. I'm likely to never change it for anything else other than one of the other two versions included.

Thanks for the link, that looks really good 👍

No problem.

Any of you go the whole nine and customize your boot and logon screens as well?

Don't care about the boot, but my logon screen is different, yes.

I use to, way back in the day's of 2003, but I rarely see it anymore as I use a desktop at home and almost never end up locking my computer.

GaryyC, that's such an awesome Mac set-up. I'm in awe!

Also, Sage, I remember that image to the left being posted on Interfacelift a good while back, am I correctie?

 

[Sage]

Yup, both are from Interfacelift.

 

[Noah]

Link to wallpaper please? I need something new.

 

[Syntax error]

I officially hate this thread. I can't stop modding my bloody desktop now.

Aargh, those paper-like cracks are seriously bothering me. That photo would've been so much more awesome if it showed the architecture clearly.
