Your Basic "i'm New Here" Post

Hello, I thought I'd introduce myself here. I'm kinda new to this desktop customizing stuff and I thought it would be prudent to join this board, so here I am. Below is my current desktop.

Thats a good start. You'd be surprised how much work you can do to aqua-fy.

Are you using Windows 98? XP?

Have you tried the Aqua and brushed Trillian Skins from aquaxp.com That might be it, I dont really know what else you are using to skin, it looks like WB.

You've got a big desktop, and im stuck with my 1024x768.

Are you gonna get a dock?

Note: you should really blur out the names of your buddies, no one here will do anything, but its just respectful of your friends not to give their names out.

Windows XP SP1, with the "OSX" visual style

Have you tried the Aqua and brushed Trillian Skins from aquaxp.com That might be it, I dont really know what else you are using to skin, it looks like WB.

I'll look into it

Are you gonna get a dock?

After a week or so on this board, I probably will. :D

I had a list going with all the mods in aqua-related apps, it might be buried by now, its got a list of all the customization stuff you can do.

Thats not Icemans VS, is it? If it isnt, get Icemans, its the best out there by far.

Also, Spidercrab made an amazing iTunes skin for QCD. You might want to look into that. spidercrab.com .

There are good Safari skins for both Phoenix (which I recomend) and Opera.

Personally, I like Objectdock, but Y'z is great too. Id wait on Mobys dock until his DX9 dock comes out, but you might like it better. :D

Did you get Y'z shadow and Toolbar yet? They are essentials for Emulation.

Sorry for being pushy, just trying to help.

Have fun.

#13277

Yes that's Iceman's style. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll have lots of time tomorrow to look into this stuff.

Trillian replaces AIM, ICQ, mIRC, MSN, and Yahoo. All your IM/chat needs in one kick-ass package

Trillian

#13356

Trillian is a replacement for all messengers, or better quoted from their site "Connect to ICQ®, AIM®, MSN® Messenger, Yahoo!® Messenger and IRC in a single, sleek and slim interface. :) Im sure you can find the brushed and aqua skin at AquaXP. ^_^

LOL you beat me by a minute!!!!!!!!

#13357

But can it have the same appearence of iChat (or iTalk) ? The bubble looking is so nice...

Welcome to the board.

PS General Heads Up:

Word's splash screen has turned out to be in encoded form in resource 998 of winword.exe. I.e. we cant just replace the bitmaps.

We are looking for a good compiler/decompiler.
