Is that a PC that looks like a mac or a mac that looks like a pc?

Yeah, that's true. But it will take 2-3 years for the next Ghibli project movie to come out completely. ;)

I don't think Macs have a program called notepad with that icon. ;)

Chairman Meow Sep 05, 2005, 03:34 PM I never really understood the point of making Windows look like a Mac. Though, when I'm running Windows, I often set the shell to progman.exe, and go for the Windows 3.1 effect. I might post a screenshot from one of my other computers on which I have done that.
I am the Future Sep 05, 2005, 04:27 PM Is that a PC that looks like a mac or a mac that looks like a pc?
i used WindowsBlinds so that it matches iTunes and looks cleaner
see in the upper left there is the windows insignia
Also am surprised at tha amount of firefox users

I'm assuming you're using Windows XP? How did you get FFVII to work properly for XP? It hardly worked on my old PC using Windows 98 without crashing every hour or so. The FFVII conversion to the PC was a travesty. It had so many bugs and even resorted to using midi music.

How exactly do I get my computer to look like that?
CivGeneral Sep 05, 2005, 05:29 PM How exactly do I get my computer to look like that?
Use Windowblinds, that would make your desktop look like that. He is also using Konfabulator, which is a widget engine.
Ill repost my desktop screenshot since the old thread has been closed ;).
MarineCorps Sep 05, 2005, 05:46 PM Use Windowblinds, that would make your desktop look like that. He is also using Konfabulator, which is a widget engine.
Which skin?
Strider Sep 05, 2005, 05:46 PM Here's my current desktop, I use to have a custom windowsblinds thing, but I got pissed off at it and removed it.
Other than that, it's like most of my other desktops. Clean and Awesome :) :
http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads10/Desktop1.gif
CivGeneral Sep 05, 2005, 06:03 PM Which skin?
Im guessing its one of thoes Mac OS skins.
You can find them in www.wincustomize.com
Chairman Meow Sep 05, 2005, 06:17 PM Please, tell tell. How? ;)
In pre-2K versions of Windows, open \WIndows\system.ini in Notepad, find the line shell=explorer.exe and change it to shell=progman.exe.
In 2K and XP, run regedit.exe, go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion Winlogon", find the shell option, change it from explorer.exe to progman.exe.
vbraun Sep 05, 2005, 07:36 PM How exactly do I get my computer to look like that?
I use WindowsBlinds, YzShadow, Rainlander, and Konfabulator.
WindowsBlinds skins the desktop.
YzShadow adds a drop shadow to all the windows and makes all drop-down menus slightly transparent.
Rainlander is the calander thing.
Konfabulator is basically anything else on my Desktop.
Which skin?
http://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=4881&LibID=1
You should be able to google for most of everything.
Also I got some insperation to change part of my skin (its still the same skin) Now my start menu looks like this:
http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/5531/desktop20rg.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
CivGeneral Sep 05, 2005, 07:48 PM Rainlander is the calander thing.
Hmm, would Rainlendar be compadible with my other widget engines (I have DesktopX and Konfabulator)?
vbraun Sep 05, 2005, 08:25 PM Rainlander is its own program so yes.

Reno Sep 06, 2005, 12:10 AM I'm assuming you're using Windows XP? How did you get FFVII to work properly for XP? It hardly worked on my old PC using Windows 98 without crashing every hour or so. The FFVII conversion to the PC was a travesty. It had so many bugs and even resorted to using midi music.
My FF VII start's perfectly under XP, although it used to crash under XP when i got to the Chocobo part of disc 1. Although the game worked perfectly back when i bought it from Denmark 1998.
When the game started to crash more frequantly, i had a look at different Final Fantasy VII sites, looking for a patch to fix the problem and i came across this.
http://www.ff7citadel.com/downloads/index.shtml
After i installed the 3d card update and Chocobo patch for XP, the game has worked perfectly ever since.
Oh, and sorry for the threadjack. :)
EDIT: Just had a look at that site again and it seems like they no longer have the 3d card patch for the game. Also i installed a Final Fantasy general Update patch that made the game more likely to work with XP. I have both patches (3d card & general update) on my HD, i'll send them to you in a pm.
Stevenpfo Sep 06, 2005, 12:53 AM I usually find a cool desktop picture and try to base a theme around it. I'm oddly enjoying the blue firefox picture a lot. Here's how it's looking right now:
Communisto Sep 06, 2005, 12:54 AM Pennywise? Ouch.
steviejay Sep 06, 2005, 07:26 AM can someoen give me links to where I can get stuff like windowsblinds and stuff like that or where I can download them. these stuff look pretty cool and my desktop is just the basic XP theme so it's pretty boring
Stevenpfo Sep 06, 2005, 07:39 AM Pennywise? Ouch.
It's one of those things that made me happy to listen to when I was a kid that still brings back good memories :p or something like that
Edit: WinCustomize (http://www.wincustomize.com/index.aspx?u=0). There it is. It's all pretty much there.

I have a real funny desktop wallpaper I encountered when testing a feature of a Star Wars level I've been creating. Only problen is, I'm having a little trouble seeing it. My resolution is 1152 X 864, but I have three whole rows of icons! It's getting kinda annoying, so I'm going to begin the arduous task of organizing it. Just so you can see what I mean:

Kozmos Oct 29, 2005, 12:26 PM I should probably uninstall half of them,but its so hard.You have a vid 256 mb vid card,lucky i have only 128mb.
nonconformist Oct 29, 2005, 12:28 PM That doesn't count! You made a bunch of copies! CHEATER! All my icons serve a purpose!
:joke:
That is cluttered. Wow. I'm impressed. But I would be even more so if you had less 'copies of everything'. ;)
Oh, crap. 666th post. :satan:
The "copies" are shortcuts from "My Documents"
CivFan91 Oct 29, 2005, 12:28 PM I'm also getting the feeling I'm the only poor soul left without Firefox. Maybe I should petition my parents to let me d/l it...
copies are not shortcuts. It may save considerable disk space to make shortcuts instead of copies.

CvH - Thanx for the edit. You'd get banned for a while if you didn't. ;) But your desktop is at lower res, so I beat you there - barely, though.
Lozzy_Ozzy Oct 29, 2005, 01:40 PM Like Fetus, I keep mine to a bare minimum.
I have:
Firefox
WMP
Recycle Bin
Downloads (everything off of the net goes here)
And Konfabulator (I don't need it, but when I go to four icons it feels too weird for my liking, so I keep a token one there at all times).
And then I have a Konfabulator weather widget, and did have a calendar too, but it vanished. It says its still there but it aint :hmm:.
I find it far easier to just go to the start menu, which has everything I need (a few more shortcuts immediately, and then everything else too) than to have to search all over my desktop.

Maniacal Oct 30, 2005, 01:43 AM My desktops are both cluttered, I put all my shortcuts to games and useful programs on there. The one I'm on now sort of looks like North America, with a gap (the atlantic) between the icons and then Africa is on the right.

~Corsair#01~ Oct 30, 2005, 05:42 AM I used to have a cluttered desktop, then I just put a folder named "Desktop!" in, put in subfolders for Anime, Games, Applications, Wallpapers etc. as well as shortcuts to My Pictures/Music etc.
Simply move things into the folder and delete what you don't need. If things don't want to be deleted, go into Safe Mode and delete them there.

Kozmos May 12, 2006, 02:55 PM I believe its something from LOTR:RotK.

ybbor May 12, 2006, 05:18 PM the pic is of the pool where I work. I scanned it, added some (a lot of) color, and stylized it. I attached the source pics, of the original scan, and then of the touch up before blur. I have to say, I'm kinda proud of my work :smug: (comparing the two, doesn't the original look like a dog peed on it? :p I also made a more realistic touch-up, not attached)

The program is called "sysmetrix". It's actually not that useful. It just looks cool. I got it from "www.wincustimize.com". I usually get my desktops from the Hubble telescope webpage. I don't remember where that "desktop" comes from.

Say, Xerol, I noticed what was on your TV in the first pic. I swear, I've seen it before. Come to think of it, my g/f's friend showed me that, but I've forgotten what that is from. Can you please remind me, so I can pretend to understand WTH she is talking about?
