It isn't hacking... There are many third party themes for windows rofl.

Yeah, I just found my perfect, black-red theme.

This screenie captures nothing of the true feeling of it. Right-click menus are black, the start menu is black, everything with red highlights.

With WindowsFX 3.0, my comp is totally pwnsome!

I just wish WFX would work with TrueTransparency...

Windows blinds and that other stuff looks cool but costs moneys. Fortunately certain websites have a copy...

yeah it sucks that most skinning hacks aren't free, because it's hard to find a good download of them and we cannot provide them on forums because it would be against rules

I'm not using any non-free software in that screenie

WindowsFX is free? Does it have a vista skin? (without transparent stuff so it run at decent speed on my PC)

WindowsFX has a free trial version. It's for animating stuff...it's kind of taxing, so I wouldn't recommend it. However, I suggest looking http://www.trap17.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=36887&mode=threaded to tweak Windows so you can use any .msstyle file. You can find those at Deviant art; they're usually referred to as "Visual Styles" or "VS's".

WindowBlinds, and most other http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/3419/windowspwnage4rt0.png, software, has a free version.

Here's my new Windows XP desktop: http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/3419/windowspwnage4rt0.png

(I've decided to not use the Mac OS-like dock for now, although I can always easily re-enable it)

the free version of blinds only lasts 60 days and it spams you to register whenever you boot.

Harrierfalcon · « **Reply #100 on:** September 10, 2007, 01:41:00 pm »

I find that WindowBlinds eats a lot of the system resources, so I stick with hacked XP

.

However, I stumbled upon http://www.stardock.com/products/thememanager/, also a StarDock product, but it's free, and in general handles WindowsBlinds, IconPackager, CursorXP...you get the idea

That's an insane amount of shortcuts on the desktop. %)

I like the blur effect when the menu overlaps the icons.
Is that genuine Vista or an awesomely skinned XP?

Dang, what resolution is that? 3000 x 1000
