ninjageek Posted February 13, 2007 CID Share Posted February 13, 2007 I found and really like this free wallpaper changer, no I promise its not spyware, http://www.wallpaperchanger.de/ I have tons of wallpaper for my puter. Now everytime I reboot, (thank you bill gates ) My desktop has a diffrent look I also found this handy free program http://www.palma.com.au/winroll/ right click on the toolbar and it will roll windows up and you can give your window a transparent look if you wish as well, And this one will make sure your window does not minimuize http://www.snapfiles.com/get/deskpins.html Any one else with other ideas??

ninjageek Posted February 14, 2007 Author CID Share Posted February 14, 2007 Here is the link for the program itslef. http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Themes/UXTheme-Patch-For-Windows-XP-SP2-Final.shtml . Gave it a shot and I really like it. Found a few themes I like and useing one now. I really can not tell you about the resouce use. I have a monster computer so it had no affect on mine. Works well. Oh I run 2 gig of dual core ram with a dual core athlon 4200. Xp Pro. Just a bit off topic but I just realized. Someone asked about the difference between xp pro and home. I think its kinda snooty sounding in a way. WHAT!! You only run xp home. Well I run XP pro therefore I am truly a computer geek. You must be a geek in training!. Lade Da Lade Da. So Yea saying I run xp pro can be kinda snooty sounding and bragish. Just in case you don't get it. I am making fun of myself and no one else. Meant no disrespect to anyone.

In most of them, your supposed to install the fonts that comes with the theme first do that by going to start>run>fonts and just drag the font file in there. then you can click the .mystyle I believe. Most of them come with a readme that provides instructions so thats what I go by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjageek Posted February 15, 2007 Author CID Share Posted February 15, 2007 Im not much on changing my desktop all the time with tons of choices. I found 2 diffrent sytles I love, Tempest, and cxp2. I will be darned If I can find or rember where I got them. I do have them backed up though. I use opera browser and with the skin I use for opera which is the black lynix 1.5 Tempest just makes it sweet looking. Really love how it not only changes windows but your browser as well.
