windows blinds

[Guest confused and hungover]

i saw this AGES ago to download as an XP windows blind, they upgraded my work PC last week to XP and i've been looking for it ever since with no success other than this screenshot....

any ideas anyone?

[Guest Pondrew]

No, but I'd be interested to find out more so...

...BUMP!

me 2 looks awsome. how do you install them?

[Guest confused and hungover]

you need a program called "windows blinds" or "theme manager", they skin your whole GUI

my current GUI posted below. it's a dark longhorn theme, i'm after something brighter like the one above...

Call it practise here :)

Basically I went to the Windows Blinds site then had a quick search for Windows.net in the two main sections.

i actually tried it but took it off again after a few minutes, it's too cutesy... back to my black longhorn theme...

longhorn, seems a bit weird still calling it that.

Does anyone know a good weather forecast program?

All I want is an icon or image on the desktop which looks good and shows the temperature and weathers its cloudy etc..

The ones in these skins look good where do i get them, ideally i would like a free program BTW ! :)

Use the desktop X theme app as lited above, it has weather etc available as seperate plugins or intigrated in a complete theme as in the image in my post above.

Never seen any of these desktop themes / blinds before but because you asked...

I am super interested in them. Will have to wait until I get home tonight to d/l some onto my comp.

ROCK ON wit' the customisation!!!

lol, yes. loads of it, but if you've got a gig or more you shouldn't notice the difference. my work system has 512MB and it runs ok as long as i don't have to much other stuff on the go.
