coughing a lung for distance. Damn upper resp. tract infection.

this meme crops up now and then. Got it from ishte this time. Take a snapshot of your desk top and share.

my desktop

best way to get it: hit the printscreen button then switch to your graphics program and paste the image. Save it and upload it.

trying to write...mostly failing.

Hey, looks nice. ^_^ I like your royale taskbar. I have a black one too, but I think the buttons highlight a little differently.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

my what now? It has a name? HA.

I was actually thinking of scouring around for a new desktop. I've had this one a while now

[ishte.livejournal.com]

Yah, your visual style... The black shinies that make up your menu headers and task bar and stuff. That's called Royale. MS made it for XP but then never released it. It took hackers creating a new UXTheme that will allow other styles besides the three boring luna styles that came with XP... now I got all kinds of stuff. I really like the two sets of multicolored Royale themes though. I just like the way they look, and there are so many colors that I really hardly need anything else.

well huh. I had no idea. It's apparently Vista's default since I didn't even know you could change that stuff

[ishte.livejournal.com]

Yah.. I don't know what all Vista has. Apparently when you right click to go to properties, you discovered that Vista calls it something completely different, but it should be in that area that allows you to change different things. Vista is supposed to have some that are semi transparent or look like glass and stuff like that... But really I can put true transparency on my XP machine and still get those effects.

So I'd like to know what Vista did other than change the names of things people already knew the names for so that they'd be all confused and not know how to do anything with their computer again, and add some eye candy that a couple of simple changes/add ons to XP accomplished anyway. Who the hell actually WANTS Vista anyway? It's worse than Windows ME.

yeah I discovered the vista name for propertires yesterday. I can't imagine even wanting to play with the tool bar. I mean what purpose could that serve.

[ishte.livejournal.com]

Well I mean just changing the colors... I like to change the colors so that they match whatever desktop them I have going on. right now my taskbar and menubars are red.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh i see. Yeah, never knew i could do that but then again that'snot something i would have thought of trying
