Ohh, That's bad.

Well, at least this one works for you

Plus there's all kinds of backgrounds to set as the desktop background itself. http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/3...desktopvl7.jpg

That's only for the classic theme that you can change the colours, isn't it?

I primarily stick with the classic themes anyways. I never even bothered with the XP style over that. Vista no longer gives you some options like changing the 3D objects. You can change the theme, background, and have about 6 different color tones for the Start menu bar. That's another place Microsoft goofed there while making improvement on other things.

I can't stand the classic theme, It's too boring for my liking

PC eye · 03-06-2007, 11:56 AM

Boring?

You haven't seen my desktop lately.... "Run for it!"

Kornowski · 03-06-2007, 11:58 AM

Lol, That's cool! I just don't like the whole 'grey' feel of it, it's not much to look at.

PC eye · 03-06-2007, 12:08 PM

Did you say grey? I told you I still can't get away from the Classic(vista) look!

how did he do that?

Kornowski · 03-06-2007, 12:10 PM

Lol, Ok then, Does it not annoy you having the taskbar on the left like that?

PC eye · 03-06-2007, 12:25 PM

I can choose the autohide option at any time there. But then I would miss the time, day of week, and date, and of course Start menu drop down while IE and W.Explorer windows are open. If you don't like one thing the way it looks you simply make a few changes in settings.

Kornowski · 03-06-2007, 12:26 PM

I've seen those options before, It's rather cool but some of them are a bit hard on the eyes.

I've neen running the translucent look in order to get accustomed to finding my way in the dark when moving around a little at a time. The screen there shows a list of styles to choose from by default. The main reason for having a different "look" is for distinguishing which version you are running!
