Well there are several things that you need if you want to make a desktop similar to my…. these include DesktopX (I have DesktopX Pro Edition), StyleXP, LaunchTab and wallpaper by DzTronic. Optional programs are Winamp and Trillian.
DesktopX site http://www.stardock.com/products/desktopx/ I am not gonna say how I got my DesktopX…. It’s up to you where you want to get these apps from!!!
To get the weather, calendar, clock, IP, and also shortcuts to my C & D drive, Desktop, Shutdown, and Trashcan you need to get DesktopX application. I am using Aero Calendar, Clock, Weather, and IP Scan bar thingy that is in the bottom right corner from http://www.wincustomize.org
Links for those files are ….
Aero Calendar for DesktopX Objects: http://www.wincustomize.org/skins.asp?c=1&library=3&SkinID=3651
Aero IP Serialzer (scan bar) for DestkpX Objects: http://www.wincustomize.org/skins.asp?c=1&library=3&SkinID=3623
Aero Weather for DesktopX Objects: http://www.wincustomize.org/skins.asp?c=1&library=3&SkinID=3621
Aero Clock for DesktopX Objects: http://www.wincustomize.org/skins.asp?c=1&library=3&SkinID=3672
I have the AnimatedTrashcan Icon for DesktopX from: http://www.wincustomize.org/skins.asp?c=1&library=3&SkinID=1373
Other four orange icons I have created by making New Objects ( you do that once you have DesktopX application activated) by right clicking on the desktop and selecting new objects… you can make icons that connect to all sort of stuff and you can hide you current desktop… my was always cluttered with stuff hehe… I have custom made the orange C Drive, D Drive, Radioactive Desktop and X Shutdown icons myself so if anyone wants to use them I can send them to you but you must have DesktopX installed if you wanna use them o_0
StyleXP site http://www.tgtsoft.com/ I am not gonna say how I got my StyleXP…. It’s up to you where you want to get these apps from!!!
To change all the Windows, buttons, taskbar to orange/grey/black I used the XPAmp theme for StyleXP. This theme comes in 5 colors… I am using the Citrus color hehe…. you can find this stylexp theme here: http://www.themexp.org/preview.php?mid=45012&type=vs&view=&page=&cat=&name=XPAmp+19.zip
LaunchTab site http://www.tobiascohen.com/software/launchtab/status.html
Now you see those little orange tabs on the bottom of my screen that begin with Internet and end with Chat Progz. I used LaunchTab program to make them. I love this little free application… I have the most used applications on them for quick access. This application comes with two skins… I have made my own… if anyone wants my skin… just email me o_0 but it’s very easy to make one. This application also comes with instructions on how to make your own skin to match any desktop theme. LaunchTab application is 100% FREE get it from this site http://www.tobiascohen.com/software/launchtab/status.html ENJOY!!!
DzTronic Wallpaper site http://dztronic.deviantart.com/
Go to the above link and DzTronic’s gallery to find lot of wallpapers and art from that guy. He is an awesome abstract wallpaper creator… probably one of the best ones out there lol…. But if you want the exact wallpaper that I am using go here: http://www.deviantart.com/view/5931322/
Optional programs:
Winamp site www.winamp.com
Do you see that player on top of the desktop…. It’s Winamp 5.5 Player with MMD3 skin that you can grab at http://www.winamp.com/skins/details.php?id=122902 MMD3 has to be the best Winamp skin out there… it has tons of colors to choose from so that you can match any theme out there.
Trillian site http://www.trillian.cc/
That Instant Message program you see on the top right side is Trillian. For those of you that don’t know….. trillian combines MSN, AOL, ICQ, and Yahoo instant messengers all into one application… I am using the Aikon3 skin which comes in 5 different colors. You can find that skin here http://www.trillian.cc/downloads/downloads.php?d_type=Skins&componentID=316
Wh0a this was a whole lot of writing…. o_0 hopefully somebody will find this useful.
and here is a look at my desktop again
