WindowBlinds allows you to change most of the graphics in Windows.

Yup, I use windowblinds (4.sommat, can't remember which one now) and with this skin. its rather nice I think, even tho I don't have one of their posh computers! I think that this skin comes as standard with them in fact. Anyway...

I only use the skin package for the icons, and I have a different one for the rest of it. Can't remember which one, but I'll post a link to it when I get home later. I find that WinCustomize is a pretty good place for some decent skins, but theres a lot of shite ones there too. deviantArt also tends to be very good.

I also have this skin for cursorXP to make the mouse look nice too.

Killslay - I never tried the trial so I don't know what it was like, but the version wot I got is pretty good. Seems to cover most options. Even changes most of the small icons in drop-down type menus too.

If someone's a bit of a whiz' at skins, a 5punk looking Window Blinds skin would be ace!

I think there's a fairly easy to use GUI type skin editor for windowblinds, i'll have a look

Home now, and for anyone who cares, probably no-one, I'm using the Ascension skin and Windowblinds version 4.4

Post by **TezzRexx** » May 31st, 2005, 17:10

just downloaded window blinds, looks like, but my performance in the task manager is about 60%.

This may be my ATi graphics card throwing a hissyfit again, or it could be caused by this.

/edit: Nope, it was ATi. Looks ubré!

well heres a picture of the actual top of my desk, you'd think that a flat screen monitor would mean less clutter... apparently it just means more room for mess

Here is my current Desktop Link. I can't remember where the wallpaper came from, but the custom info box on the desktop was created using Samurize.
