Most of you have a windows xp, right?
Well i bet most of you are bored of that blue/green/silver toolbar,
the icons, menus, buttons, the way your comp works. Well now, i tell you how you can change all that stuff to the way you like your computer to look and how it works.

You will need one of the following.

TGT SOFT (www.tgtsoft.com)

STYLE XP 2.0

-You have to pay, but u can get a trial.

-This is the most simplest program i found to tweak your system's stuff. It's also small, and has plenty of features, such as transparentcy, but its features isnt as nice the other programs u can use.

Stardock (www.stardock.com)

-some of these programs are free, but the nicer ones, u have to pay for it.

WIndowBlinds

-This program basically changes the look of your windows, and task bar. It has nice looks than style xp but takes more room.
it can also minimise your window into a bar, like a mac.

desktopx

-puts objects on your desktop, like a ball u can bounce, or fish that swim around your desktop. This is nice, but takes a bit of room and kind of lags. But you can subsitude this as windows blinds, by changeing your whole desktop into an object. You can have custom menus, a t.v. on your desktop (media player), and a hell lot more. you can also turn your windows into a MAC(object). If your gonna get 1 stardock product, i suggest you start with this one.

object bar

-basically changed your tool bar into anyway your want it. (sidebar bit cool buttons,trays, etc) desktopx can do the samething

windows fx

-changes the way your window opens, minimises etc....you know your window pops up from the desktop bar when u open it? this can make is spin when it opens... etc.

Freebies..

-bootscreens:changes your bootscreen
-logons:changes ur logons
-crusorxp:changes ur mouse pointer.

_________

I'll post how to use these programs in my next post.

meanwhile check out those links i gaved out. (i aint advertising, im just here to show how ppl can change there looks on comp)

there are a lot more programs u can use, those were just some of them

Yes i just got Windowblinds, its very good, but dont install a shit load of skins, or you will run out of space on your computer. After i installed it, my amount of usage space went up a good amount.

Are you positive? Because these look really cool but I don't want one that will slow down my computer.

shut up nerd. Go invent a time machine.



(style Xp)

or u can do what nerd did.

Icons.

Loading it is the same thing, You can also set the size of the icons. Just click the circle thing.

Transparentsy.... read the insturctions.... you should figure it out.
Note. Transparensy doesnt work on some themes

hes right, get style xp, winblinds sux. only thing is youll have to crack it after 30 days, but it even lets you change that windows xp loading screen and the logon gui.

I don't recommend using Style XP if you are a severe multitasker such as myself unless you have 512mb of ram or better...it seems to bog you down a bit, beauty does have a price.

But yes, when I feel like making my stuff spiffy, I go with style xp.

Agree, unless u realli want to add something to the look at it that program is great, though its only a freeware, n doesnt hav all the option wen u pay for it, it still make it look better then the default of xp.
