Awesome desktop, how do you get MSN themes? and what's that skin for winamp? And where'd you get that theme?

[noah]

cheers bud

the windows theme and winamp skins are called unity and are from deviant art for the theme 'pack' or i think i used this for the visual style as you can get rid of the apple icon with this version. watch out with the xp theme tho, its really really dark and you can hardly read anything so get into the appearences tab on desktop properties and change the background colours of the folder and 3d objects to a light grey.

the msn theme is courtesy of famished a couple of days ago and its called wave11 from www.mess.be

the wallpaper can be found here in 1600*1200, i would host it but i cant get it on imageshack as it's ~2mb

[Kezzer]

Gah, i can't find the winamp skins in that pack, only an itunes skin

[noah]

heres a link to the winamp skin. definately my fav one at the min, clean and simple.

[Kezzer]

Strange, the drop shadow doesn't work on mine, it's just a black border round it

I like to keep my desktop nice and clean, the RSS newsfeeds and CPU thing can be got my downloading a small program called Konfabulator it's like DesktopX but better

[directhex]

Nice backdrop hex

it's the ubuntu-calendar-april package's wallpaper.

you would probably prefer december or march or december.

[tommylittleboy@]

is there one like this for SP2 at all? I would like to change the (rather lame) theme I have - an M$ standard one - to a more stylish, smooth one...
this method, thanks to hex, looks fairly simple that even I could do it!

p.s. littletommyboy - what are those themes called?

The 1st screenie is the Energy Bliss theme, the second isnt a theme, it is a mac.

This one is mine. Using bblean to remind me to be bothered to put linux on sometime soon

[Kezzer]

Very simple and generally nice I like

[noah]

yeah that is nice, would hurt my eyes tho if i used it for long. that bblean looks very similar to litestep?

have you got a high res of that wallpaper please ?

[EvilWeevil]

Here's mine. Nothing fancy since I've just recently got this new computer.

EDIT: Took out the image as I'm updating with a new post and don't want to take up unnecessary screen space
