Post Your Desktop "Background screenshot"

All it gives me is a small, blank picture page...

I'm running old 2000 if that matters

you did the copy paste? I'm pretty sure that should work the same in windows 2000.

Anybody notice anything different about MY Start Menu? (post 778)

Yes I noticed :). That's fun. I used to change mine to say different things. changed it in the registry in Win98. But I believe with XP I used a small file that I downloaded. Not sure if it where a .reg file or not, it where awhile back now. Knew one where you go change what was said after the time in the system tray also. Instead of AM or PM you could change it to say anything you wanted.

Yeah, it was quite simple... one change to explorer.exe and walla... but I cant go into any more detail... ;)
 
How do you people make your start bars all fancy, mine is still the plain blue, I have windowblinds, but none of the themes are nice like yours.

You just have to find and download the right windowblind skins is all :).. Although a few of us are not skinning with windowblinds or any program for that matter. Some of us have replaced the theme.dll file so that skins made for apps like styleXP will work using no additional software. As for me, nothing fancy about my desktop but I think it's nice and clean and definitely nicer to look at then the regular Windows Themes. If your using windowblinds i'm sure you'll find nice skins from http://www.wincustomize.com/index.aspx?u=0. There are a bunch of really nice ones.

Edit:

I've always liked the metal theme but never cared for the way the green start button appeared. Here is a different version of the metal look.

Lol, nice start button. :P

They said how to do that in Smart Computing in like 2003.

Thanks...

I try and find my own way of doing things and try not to copy someone elses idea... I am, however, intrigued as to whether or not the way Smart Computing changed the Start Button text is easier than my way.

most likely a look alike. vista is totally different.

I think it'll be so cool if we had our own customizing windows section in the thread. haha.

once you press the button, go into your prefered image editing program. like, Paint.

then paste it. CTRL+V and then just save it as a .jpg or whatever format you like.
