Here is my first one for May.

A couple of things are still there from last month.

icons: token, I still have the pack that changes all the default system icons
winamp theme: quadelic
walpaper: I'm not sure what the name is
object dock: reflection icons with the style opacity set to 0
desktop theme: office 2010
cdart display: Simple mirror, modified by me
cursors: windows standard
music: Pink Floyd, the greatest rock band ever!

**Sazar** · May 1st, 2010

Much the same as before.

Updated taskbar and start-menu icons, changed itunes skin (movies are all those currently on my iPhone).
Wallpaper - Abandonments
Other stuff - Rainmeter running WP7 theme with various panels, slightly modified in some cases.

**Johnny** · May 3rd, 2010

Here is a new one for May.

same icons as before.
Wallpaper: I'm not sure what it is called. I got it with another theme I downloaded.
Rainmeter: Enigma modified by me.
Theme: longhorn evolution 2.0
Cdart Display: simple mirror, modified by me
Objectdock: Milkdock theme with lite icons.
Extras: Default winamp theme. Areo modified cursor, last.fm, Flashget
Music: ZZ Top box set ..

**epk** · May 4th, 2010

Here's mine, pretty basic hehe:

Oh, and if anyone's interested, I googled a way to hide labels in the taskbar, but without combining redundant windows (I hate having to click twice, hehe).
To make it work like that, you have to open Regedit, go to:
'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics'
Create a string called 'MinWidth' and set the value to '54'. Restart and enjoy :]
I like it better this way, at first can seem troublesome since you may have many of the same without labels (say WLM convos or open folders) but, I don't know, I usually remember them. Worst case scenario you'll have to use the Live Thumbnail thingy and click twice, which you would have to do if you were combining anyway ^^ (or just click click click till you find what you were looking for

)

**Johnny** · May 4th, 2010

And a new one for May - I like this one ..

same icons as before.
Wallpaper: I'm not sure what it is called. I know I like it though.
Rainmeter: Enigma modified by me.
Theme: Alloy
Cdart Display: simple mirror, modified by me
Objectdock: Milkdock theme with lite icons and opacity set to 35%
Extras: Default winamp theme. Areo standard cursors, last.fm
Music: ZZ Top box set, I can't quite listening to it ..

*Note: Take a look at the task bar. I have a separator in it

**Bman** · May 4th, 2010

I am sorry, but that is ugly as all hell.

Like one of those bad XP themes. lol

**Johnny** · May 4th, 2010

I'm tired of looking at the same style all the time. This is something fresh lol .. besides, with the way I been going, it will changed by tomorrow haha ..

**Bman** · May 4th, 2010

If you mean you are sick of the Windows 7 theme, there are many beautiful transparent aero themes out there for 7.

That is what I mean, I am tired of the same thing. To many aero themes, and I get tired of the tool bar. Either way, I changed the theme already ... Kept the same wallpaper and such, though. The colors on the last one were too black.

**epk** · May 4th, 2010

it does look a bit too xp for my taste aswell. can you have it with the big taskbar?

**Johnny** · May 5th, 2010

I didn't try it with a big taskbar ...

**epk** · May 5th, 2010

I think it may look pretty good like that ^^

Oh, also...
