Pimp out XP!

[midget31394]

I have recently just revamped my desktop theme, cursors, the lot!

I would really like to show you how, so that you can, or may, alter your desktop like I did mine.

Things you will need:

• CursorFX This lets you choose your cursor, however the free package doesn't let you change animations, or special effects.
• MyColors This lets you have the a set of themes. (see below for screenshots.)
• RocketDock A dock similar to a mac's (This is not necessery, but I feel it makes the desktop seem cleaner.)

Just download and install, download.com has no viruses or whatever, so it can be trusted. When MyColors is installing the theme you apply, it might make it look like a Windows 98 or whatever, this is supposed to happen, it is just resetting the theme. To get rid of the Desktop icons, like I have (I put important ones on RocketDock.) Right click, Arrange Icons by, uncheck "show desktop icons"



Note: PM me for any help you may need.

I had Rocket Dock for a while I ended up having to remove it because it took up too much physical memory.I may get the cursor and themes though.

The themes, I have to admit, are not very much, I think you can download more. Not sure though.

objectdock interfered with my theme. It made big weird rectangles. Rocketdock doesnt interfere, it might just be my specs but hey... who cares?

Aston Shell is also a good program...not 100% the same but similar in the fact that you can change your desktop to something cooler. Check it out http://www.astonshell.com/
