The best tool out there

Hi!

I just want to know what is the best tool to customize Windows (Taskbar, Icons)? WindowBlinds, Style XP?....

It's been a long time since I was into "customization" so that's why I'm asking.

My vote is Windowblinds because it skins everything, doesn't hack the system, and I've been using it for over 2 years and am very pleased with it.

As far as I know, stylexp can't have left sided glyphs, alpha-blending, per pixel, transparency (can it?) and so on.

Does Window Blinds change also the icons?

How can I have (if not with WindowBlinds), for instance, the big hard drive icon with under it the % of used space (like some people have here)?

Use Avedesk 1.3. Nice and Neat. You can download it at osx-e.com

Yes I use Avedesk as well for my desktop icons, but I use IconPackager to change my system icons.

Thank you again!

I've downloaded Avedesk 1.3. Now, is it possible to have the thing I asked earlier (the percentage of space used) with the default desklets or do I need to download others desklets?

EDIT: I tried the thing with the %1, %0, .... in the Properties/Label Format of the Desklet but it doesn't seem to work.

Haha, don't I have to close these out of general principle? You know, tell you to search and all that?

AveDesk, Hacked UxTheme, RK Launcher, ResHack your icons. If you feel like being dangerous, go with Flyakite--a number of people have had problems both installing and uninstalling it, so I'd be weary.
