July 2006 Desktop Screenshots

[Corvette]

Since I haven't been here in awhile, here are some of my "greatest hits" so far:


One of the sites I visit launched their new (vBulletin based) design in June, so I redid my desktop in honor of it for June.

In June for some reason, I was facinated with Red...even on FC5!




And when Office 2007 came out, you just know I installed it...


I'll let you do the identification since I don't feel like identifying all the parts on each time for each one of these. I will post some new screenshots sometime, but I'm just getting Opera 9 Final broken in right now.

Using StyleXP I have a Wisp Theme and a Spidey Background

Go easy, my first attempt at this

I'm sry, I know you said easy, but I really hate that theme. That theme is like first generation of themes, it's bulky and bad colors....do you accually like it?

Sorry, I had to say it.

 

[kcnychief]

Don't apologize, criticism is good

It's OK, as I said I don't mess with this stuff much really. Not a huge concern to me

 

[LordOfLA]

heh its a theme out of 1998 when window blinds first came out for windows 98

 

[kcnychief]

Bah, I took everything off and turned the Themes service off

Now I'm a bit curious though, may want something Vista-like

 

[Not Bman]

if you want to really mess with themes, get the uxtheme patcher, I can provide link if wanted.....and go to neowin forums (visual style section), or deviantart and look for great visual style (themes)

Here, enjoy.

Yeah I have heard of and read about that before, too lazy to do it is all

Here, enjoy.

Delicious - thanks!

Update, only changed the wall.



Btw, Kcny and 'nads and others who like spidey, check this wall out.



This applies specifically to derek, no offense but your current wall is absolutely hideous all stretched out

 

[gonaads]

Very nice Sazar. Nice wall.

 

[kcnychief]

Here, enjoy.

K so school a newb, how do I install that without add-on software like Style XP or Windowblinds or the like?

I would think the patch is required, then extract to C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes and then browse for it?

I agree completely that it is stretched a bit, but that is to be expected considering the original size of it. I just fell in love with the shot, but yours looks so much better

Derek, since you have installed StyleXP then your computer is already patched (unless you uninstall it).

Simply extract to the path above and right click the desktop, properties, appearance, change the first drop down to VistaXP.

I took it off, and that was on my work machine.

I wanted to be able to play without it, and at home.

 

[madmatt]

Then use this.

I haven't switched Distros, I've switched how I do things..


Theme: Gilouche with Ubuntulooks Engine
Window Border: Modification of Gilouche
Wallpaper: Golden Harmonics
Icons: Tango

New Toys: SUSE Enterprise Desktop 10's new "Slab" applet and Application Browser. I got it from the Gnome CVS today...it's one of the coolest things ever!​

 

[Not Bman]

very nicely done man!

[Corvette]

Thank you, now if you could only make Windows look that good easily...

 

[Not Bman]

lol true

I use stylexp all the time on mine. It works great. I find it able to do more than uxtheme patcher.
