Share your desktops

How about something mindless, what with it being a Friday and all.

Simple enough - show off your desktop theme! However, you should also link to whatever bits and bobs you are using (visual styles (if Windows), background images and so on).

Download:

Wallpaper - Dawn In Madrid
Visual style - Luna Element 5

Don't post anything that'll break the page layout - try to keep it under 800 pixels wide.

Very nice bg, but those system icons have got to go

Is that winXP ben? I didn't know you could change the visual styles. Where to get?

*EDIT* Never mind, found the themes. I don't really want to pay for "style XP", is there an alternative utility I can use to apply the theme?

Eurgh, never buy those tools. You need to patch the theme DLL to allow unsigned themes to run. I use XPize for doing this (it also does a few other bits and bobs). Once you've done that, just install the theme I linked to and you can choose the themes you like from the XP display control panel thing (as normal).

This utility should also do the trick.

Cool! Thanks ben, I owe you one. Finally I can make all of the stupid windows logos go away!

I'm happy now.

PS: I really like that last theme, the wallpaper is really interesting.

*EDIT* Argh! Y'all and your ninja stuff! OK, I meant the one before that, but the last one is cool as well.

Heh, thanks. I modelled it in Autodesk VIZ, then rendered it. I think I have it up for d/l somewhere on Cemetech.

Desktop, switched back to e17 from openbox this morning. Current theme doesn't fit background, so I don't show any windows

Edit: forgot to interlace them

(now they are properly adam7 interlaced, and with gamma correction for mac users)
