I use that visual style myself, LCD i believe, i use it with a cream wallpaper though, usually the Rusty Apple wallpaper that's out there :D
Statbar is one of the best stat programs out there too, so i credit you for you're taste! ;)
Keep em' coming people!
I'll post the wallpaper when I get off work...it was just a leaf going thru a stream and a little filtering thru photoshop and you got the finished product...glad you guys like it...I like because it's pretty simple.
here it is haiku wallpaper
Where can I get statbar? Just wondering. It looks like the taskmanager has been turned into a taskbar. Looks nice.
I see you are using edonkey. Good to see a fellow ass user on the internet :msntongue

StatBar
here I keep a compiled list for those types of program at my site
might as well contribute... here is my desktop
http://www.babis.us/images/june28ththumb.JPG
now that is tricked out babis I love it man...now that is a man that takes pride in his box. and the theme I'm using is Prolix from themexp.org
Great desktop there babis!:cool:
Nice babis - Very Nice.
Clean, No Clutter, Looks Effecive
thanks guys.. I really appreciate the nice comments...
ya I like simple/clean dtops ;-)
Thanks babis for that statbar, and the link to your website. Very extensive there, the downloads.
I appreciate it, I have it bookmarked.
Your desktop kicks ass, are you using the eclipse theme as I see that MAC dock, very nice addition, and the silver/grey theme is very smooth.
BB
01. Wallpaper (PixelJerk Map)
02. Visual Style (FatalE V1)
03. Le greys Icon Collection
04. Taskbar (using 3 horizontal lines)
05. Using Winamp Executables (read my tutorial for installing it here )
06. it's my own version of a dock.. I used the taskbar and centered the icons.
07. Most my tray icons are on autohide
08. Winamp skin is included in visual style package
09. Trillian skin (Microscopic ) This is so small, that you get the most contact list area ;-)
thanks BB... rem how i used to always have compiled lists of things on msfn, well when it went down(msfn), it pissed me off, so I decided to keep my own compiled links, and I was like.. what the heck just get a domain and keep updating it everytime i found something cool.. and while at it share it with whichever community I'm bugging the hell out of hahahah ;-)
Yeah,
I remember you had compiled a shitload of links into one concise post. It was very helpful, especially if someone needed a file you could point them to those threads.
I appreciated it and used it quite often. Thanks for breaking down your desktop! Nice little combo there, by the way how did you customize the dock like that?
Thanks
BB
First of all, unclock taskbar.
Notice from screenshot below the sections of the taskbar
Now just customize it the way you wish...
I'm not sure how else to exaplin it..
http://www.babis.us/images/june28thbthumb.JPG
here is what i did to rename the recyle bin..
Open up start menu > run > regedit
Locate the following key
My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}.
In the right pane, right-click on "Default" and then click "Modify". Change "Recycle Bin" name to anything u want... Click "OK"
Then exit
Last question, how did you make the quick launch icons large? did you use a program, or just use large icons? Whenever I tried using larger icons, it still made them small. Is this the dock hack? or is there a way to hack the windows quick launch bar?
Thanks for your help bro.
BB
the dock hack that everyone keeps talking about has nothing to do with mine..
there are so many variations to docks out there
Examples:
1. made in flash
2. using stardock products
3. made large icons on desktop and put a rectangular shape on the wallpaper for the icons
4. centered some icons on the taskbar
5. you have a MAC
6. so on..
well.. first of all
01. Right click on the Desktop
02. Select Properties
03. Move over to the Appearance Tab
04. Click Advanced button
05. Now in the drop down menu select icons
06. set the size (hmm.. not sure i think the max allowed without a hack was 64 or 72) Anyhow there is a reg tweak to make go higher
that's how u get large icons..
oh wait large icons on taskbar?
01. Unlock taskbar
02. right click on quicklaunch toolbar
03. Select View > Large Icons
hey babis you should make a tutorial if you have the time for this kinda shit with the links then one of the mods can stick it to the themes/skins forum...very good info already cut and pasted some to a doc.
Here's my june desktop.

changed a few more of the icons, the recycle bin, my computer, etc...
The apple icons look oh so much better...
MS needs to get with it.. its time to applify the XP interface... :P
I do have one question. How can I change the icons in the sytem tray next to the clock? They look like shit.. do I have to do some DLL editting? Or is there a program that will handle it?
Thanks for any help,
BB
You will need to get a program like Reshacker and open the file that is sitting in the tray with reshacker, (for example, you want to edit the sygate icon, you open smc.exe) then you go in there, and find the tray icon, and replace it with the one you want to use, and then after restarting it, you should see your new icon :DQuote:

Thanks Blackwar, a great icon makes a great desktop. Are there any other icons like these? I have not found them all to be useful. I wish there was a bigger selection.
one of my favorites are FOOOOOD's breakout icons, which you can find here : http://www.foood.net/icons/breakout.htmQuote:
