I am totally new to this whole "skinning" scene. I am very keen to try it out on my computer. Just got one question though before I begin. I find myself in the unfortunate position of having a shared computer. The compter I use has two user accounts, myself and my sister. Now I was wondering, will any changes I make while im on my accont(admin account) will then inturn also change her(limited account) GUI?
Any feedback is very appreciated, thankyou in advanve.
I might be wrong, but if you're modifying files, they will, but if its a simple wallpaper + theme, then no.
No, it will not affect any other user accounts. Use the UXTheme patch and apply themes in C:WINDOWSResourcesThemes folder and apply on your own account. The theme will not show on the other accounts.
if you reshack anything or use say one of flyakites packs, then yeah it will, but just themes, etc then no.
If you talk to your sis im shure she would be incliend to let her DT look like yours.
Sorry but as I said im new to this. I have been following this link http://www.joeuser.com/index.asp?AID=66871. Will this only change my files and leave my sisters totally standard.
Thanks again.
I use a shared computer although it is mine, and no one else wants their account messed up. Their icons and login screen have been changed, and a couple of things I installed via Flyakite, but they don't really care about that minor stuff.
@trebor147, i dont know about WindowBlinds theme, but you can try KoL's Tiger Visual Style (studiotwentyeight.com)
@Ariw2003net, of course its going to change other people's icons and such. flyakite modifies alot of files on XP.
Thanks for the advice, I will just give it ago and see how it turns out. Will post on my findings to aid others.

I know, I changed the icons because I knew no one else cares what the icons look like, and I only changed the Flyakite files that I knew they didn't use. I use WindowBlinds, ObjectBar, and Object dock for the main mac look-and-feel and those don't put anything on anyone else account.
How about putting some effort and actually posting in proper forum?
You have Timan to thank you this thread is still visible.
