jnskyliner34, where do you get all these sweet themes? they are awesome. and what all needs to be done to use them, i have never messed with that before.

jnskyliner34 · 07-01-2008, 05:24 AM

i'm running windows vista home premium so for the skin/theme i use "windows vista visual styles" which can be found on deviantart.

you'll need to have styleselector to be able to use the theme so you wont have to patch the uxtheme.dll file.

for the dock i use object dock plus which is the retail version.
http://www.stardock.com/products/ObjectDock/learn.asp
there is a free version with less features.

as for the dock icons, i get them off deviantart and wincustomize. sometimes i make them myself in photoshop like in the recent one i posted.

need more clarifications, hit me up.

are you running XP or Vista?

if you're running Vista, it's not that easy as just double clicking the style and it'll install.

if you want, i'll make a tutorial for the Vista installation.
