Do you really need THAT MANY monitors? o.o

spengo · « **Reply #77 on:** September 06, 2007, 05:23:00 am »

Hehe, you know what's funny? I didn't notice before but I have that exact mouse and keyboard on one of my older computers. More monitors is better than less eh? Except on hot days.

DJ_Omnimaga, you can never have too many monitors.

Here's what I've done to xp so far:

Changed the system font to superazor (trying to imitate the Wipeout game font)
Hacked it to use unsigned themes
Changed the cursor and audio sounds to the Vista versions
Changed the system icons using IconPackager
Removed the start bar using ObjectDock
Added shadows to the windows using yzShadow
Added ability for transparency using glass2k
And a few registry edits to remove all the clutter from the desktop and start menu (recycle bin was removed for example)

A few tweaks to the program interfaces and some cool backgrounds/themes and this is what you get:

Notice the program I'm working on.
It's a graphical interface sprite/pic/map editor. With it you can freely edit 8x8/16x16 in B&W/Grayscale in any combination with a push of a button.

Heh, that's awesome. You even have transparancy. B)

I'm actually using WindowBlinds for themes now, though. http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/6619/windowspwnagegk1.png (Note that I think Y's Shadow can conflict with WindowBlinds at times)

spengo: Sweet. I don't like the Windows classic window style much though, but besides that, I think it's still pretty cool.

Netham45: Wow, you have a lot of monitors. %)

Cool. :lol:

kalan_vod: Your link doesn't seem to be working for me.

Everbody: I recommend checking out http://stardock.com/ if you're interested in customizing your Windows computer.

What program editor is that?

nitacku · « **Reply #83 on:** September 06, 2007, 01:18:00 pm »

That would be the discontinued TI-Program editor that used to be included in TI-Connect. Somewhere around v1.5 they took it out

Luckily I had purchased my TI-84+SE just before the program editor was removed from TI-Connect. Since the calc came with TI-Connect on a CD, I have a perfectly preserved installation file

If you are interested I would be willing to post the installation file.
As far as I know, it's perfectly legal since I am not modifying any of the contents and I am including all of the documentation.

spengo · « **Reply #84 on:** September 06, 2007, 01:33:00 pm »

windows classic is alright, it's simple and clean. I hate xp theme though, takes up way more pixels than it should and the colors are froopy.

Harrierfalcon · « **Reply #85 on:** September 06, 2007, 01:43:00 pm »

If you could post it, I'd be interested in poking at it.

Hey nitacku, how did you change the system font? I'm fairly tech-savvy, but I'm not sure how you change ALL of that text...(without going to Desktop Right-click→Properties→Appearance, and changing all of those settings.)

EDIT: And how did you hack it to use unsigned themes and where did you get said themes?

nitacku · « **Reply #86 on:** September 06, 2007, 02:40:00 pm »

Ok, the installation file is sort of large (17.8mb) but I have compressed it to 13.6mb using WinRAR.

TI-Connect v1.15 with TI-Program Editor:

Cool. NVM about the hacking, I googled it and got it. Now to find a good Vista theme...

nitacku · « **Reply #88 on:** September 06, 2007, 03:14:00 pm »

To change the font you have to go to Display Properties >> Appearance >> Advanced and then go through the list and select items to change the font on.

http://uneasysilence.com/how-to-use-unsigned-themes-on-windows/ will help you get rid of that boring xp theme.

Harrierfalcon · « **Reply #89 on:** September 06, 2007, 04:10:00 pm »

Yeah, I figured out the hacking. But in my quest for a Vista theme, I stumbled upon http://www.crystalxp.net/galerie/en.id.5139-truetransparency-lefreut-explorer-tools.htm, whose so-called "themes" are limited, but support real transparency. i.e. only the borders are transparent not the entire window. Sweet, IMO. It seems to intercept any request for a "window" so AFAIK, it'll work with anything.
