What can I say? I really like movie oriented desktops!

p.s. Asher - I shrinked the icons and showed the dock open in this picture so that you could stop worrying that my computer doesn't do anything useful.

I actually like ADG's desktop. The bars on the top left corner take up nicely little space (unlike the clutter of icons that many people have) and the transparency is cool.

That's why I like it (I'm really tired of looking at tons of icons...)

Try to go to download.com and search for DesktopX, and install the demo, then go to wincustomize.com and search for a good theme (They have tons of nice themes there). The one I'm using, I found there, but changed a lot (so it fits my needs, and it looks better (the original theme was more like an unorganized icon-filled desktop) )

What are you using for an app, to make it look like that?

Not like I'm going to switch (at least not now), I'm just curious

Alright, anyone want to explain to me how I can get altered WinXP SP1 themes without buying something? All I need is the altered uxtheme.dll file. I really, really miss my old themes. =(

Kaak, that's an excellent theme. Where'd you get it?

badass man. Still need help with a better alternative for the themes. What if I just install StyleXP, copy the altered uxtheme.dll file, then uninstall StyleXP and put back the old file?

I managed to get my themes back with SP1 by just upgrading stylexp to 1.01L:

SP1 updates the skinning DLL, so you need to update StyleXP (and thereby re-"crack" the skinning DLL) to use third party skins again.

Tech support issues. Windows supports it, you just need to unlock it. StyleXP unlocks the feature.
