Help me make my Desktop look cool

[Beriadon]

I have a request for all the people out there that are so good at skinning. I run Vista 64-bit. And am looking for any advice on modding my computer.

I like darker themes like this (http://stefanka.deviantart.com/art/Current-Desk-42980414)

If someone would be willing to help me out that would be awesome. Thanks.

I know all about the stardock programs and basically every shell replacement program ect. What I'm looking for is an overall cool design.

what do you want us to do? we can't do it for you...

[davidsword]

deviantart.com + search ...everything you need

OMG not another "help me make my desktop look cool" thread! :mad:

If you know all the stardock software start using them. That's half the fun and challenge.

Be original, find things the no one else has seen or create your own style, it could be icons or wallpapers. There are plenty on tutorials explaining this stuff too.

Everyone here is going to point you in same direction, Deviant Art, interFace Lift or other software you need and want to try, but you know all that or if you don't use the search feature here.

Do it for yourself, you'll gain more respect and self satisfaction.

*Specifics* also help. :slant:

mps, I think this is more a help me find cool shit, rather than 'how to do cool shit plox', which is... better.

Experiment, see what works. Get objectdock and make use of the theme saving, so you can try new things. Get windowblinds, and find one of the about 17 good skins, get firefox skins, etc. Also, stick around here, you'll learn stuff anyway.

You got it Phoshi. I'm looking for cool stuff. I see all these amazing screenshot and I'm like man I want to have cool stuff like that.

I mean I'm not a complete noob of skinning. Look at my desktop screenshot (http://beriadon.deviantart.com/art/Screens...308-02-79599283)

Just looking for new cool stuff.

Making good, friendly relationships with other deskmodders will probably help you discover more things.

That is a pretty shiny screenie.

I've always gone for simplicity, personally. A few widgets (Yahoo!'s, weather and a little drive-monitor) and a few samurize configs.

Simplicity is awesome.

and all that is 64bit compatible? I was worried I'd lose all my skinning apps once I went 64bit...

[Phoshi]

All of stardocks stuff is, certainly. Not being 64bit, I didn't pay attention to the rest
