Lo and behold Skates... it is called Logi and you may download it from www.themexp.org, or I can just AIM it to you.

Thanks I'll go have a look for it now. I just found out about Aston as well. It's a neat little shell program. Seems to have less of a footprint than windowblinds and is way easier than something like Litestep. Has some awsome theme's as well.

Bah... just patch your WinXP and don't use any extra software.

Skates · 06-10-2003, 01:48 PM

Arghh damn double post...

What do you mean "just patch your XP"? As in get theme XP? Because I've been using that since XP first came out pretty much.

Aston allows you to do quite a bit more, as you can see from my current desktop. I'm still customizing the theme I have.

Too much clutter for me... I like a taskbar and a picture... I'm what you can call a minimalist.

And in patch your XP I mean, using a modified uxtheme.dll you can run non-checksummed themes with the Windows XP API. I don't have a link handy but I'll hook you up when I get home.

Nice DT skates

Skates · 06-10-2003, 03:52 PM

I forgot about that modified .dll. I've been using ThemeXP to achieve the same thing, but having one less program installed is always good.

You can do a lot of customizing with Aston. All those buttons actually collapse in to the top menu buttons so you don't have all that clutter. You can change pretty much everything. We'll see if I get tired of it or not, but man there sure are a lot of nice looking theme's out there for it.

Hey Skates where is that calendar from
I keep seeing it on peoples desk tops, and i would like to use it myself.
:?:

=Sarc= · 06-10-2003, 06:06 PM

I've seen that calendar as an Aston Shell plug-in. It's nice looking and all but I never found it particularly useful. It never seems to be in view at the right time.

Not fancy, but functional...

My monitor and mouse.

Skates · 06-10-2003, 11:34 PM

It's called Rainlendar and you can find it here http://www.iki.fi/rainy

You can set events for each day and you can skin it. You don't need to have Aston either.

Wow something screwy is going on there. Not sure what the problem is. I've always used ThemeXP to use 3rd party theme's for XP.
