Hey Mike, good to see you around!

I just got my laptop back from repairs 4 days ago, so my desktop is still being worked on (eg no Vista Transformation Pack yet..)

Windows: XP SP1...
Desktop Sidebar: Vista 5112 by antu^jamban (its made for Vista Beta 1, but matches perfectly with Beta 2!)
Visual Style: Faithful old Aero Style (Glass - Beta 1 Light with thin Taskbar) by WindowsX
Icons: Vista Beta 1 - Microsoft
Wallpaper: Vista Aurora - Microsoft
Cursors: Aero Cursors Alpha Blended - Microsoft's new Vista Icons (not shown because of my lack of screenshot skills..)
Firefox Theme: Qute - Arvid Axelsson
Other Programs: Start Killer (Removes Start-button), Vista Start 1.3 (Adds Vista Orb), Styler (Adds Vista toolbar to explorer).

I will post a shot of my Vista computer later... Lets see these screen shots come in!!

Oh and Mike... Whats the link to that slideshow at the bottom of your sidebar?! I like the look of it@

hi, boys and girls,

Hey Gigabub, you should try VistaStart program by RoTKiv. He has it bundled with his Vista skins here: http://www.deviantart.com/view/31184159/

It's nice bit of work and makes the start orb look complete. Just a sugestion!!

samw,

Mike is probably busy watching the telly right about now....here is a link to the same pic but in full color:

Desktop Sidebar: AlienWare genesis by Banedon (transparency at max.)
WindowBlinds: Lemon Vista by MAX (found at DevianArt)
Wallpaper: graduateorange_large (forgot where I found it lol)
Windows Media Player 11 Beta...(Winamp with the ClearOne would maybe better, could do it later)

Hello, everyone !

I am at present having issues with my ISP so I am sending this up on a VERY SLOW Dial-Up Connection...

Well, I've been on the forums for a little while now,so I thought It would be
a good Idea to show you my first attempt at building a new sidebar !!
I have used Lightstars' SoftBlack as a template . . . .I have tried to contact him,but to no avail..

I have based it on a wallpaper from chaoscope here's the link :

http://www.btinternet.com/~ndesprez/index.htm

Windowblinds is the brilliant ClearOne by Evgen at wincustomise....

~and the widget is the Space saver bar from Yahoo Widgets

As you can see, I cannot get the background on to the clock panel , and I am starting to run short of hair to pull out !!
I sure would appreciate it if somebody could point me in the right direction, a bucketload of thank you's would be heading your way . . .

Cheers !

Mike

Try using "Magic Pink", 255.0.255 for the area around the clock face. Should see right thru anywhere you use magic pink.

May as well show what I'm working on with a dark brown theme. Just trying Object dock and I am finding it a lot of work to set up initially.
The WB is a skin of APB, one of the best skinners around, but I'm not sure what the original name of it was as it is highly modified. Wall is almost heaven found at DA. DS is BLN_Lienzo by Xelyd, a very nice lady I met here. I touched it up in a couple of spots, but nothing major. RL is Bronx RL II.

If anyone knows where to find any Object dock themes, please let me know. I can find all kinds of backgrounds, zoomers, tabs, etc, but no themes. I would like something other than the default theme to work with.

~~~ Nope !! It didn't work for me . . don't know why .....

.... I don't have any other prog like paintshop etc.... so I use the Paint prog on xp . . . . Is there something
In particular that I should be doing . . . ???? . ....

Wallpaper: One I found on Digital Blasphemy

Oh well . . . as I am still having issues with my ISP , all I can do is skin and mod...( currently on a very slow dialup . . . yawn!)
Anyway, I thought I would do a nice gentle red theme this time( I can't wait till I get my 6meg broadband! )
