okay, thanks groove, death, and all others who are contributing to this thread… i am almost there, after 6 hours or so…i should get a life…f*&%*it, here is the desktop, which was made with
1. On the left, YzDock and collected icons,made gray with photoshop. Qs: replacing dock icons seems only to work with .png files, but replacing docklet icons ucan use.ico files. whuz up with that?
2. On the right, i used three instances of rainmeter, one for the bottom (weather), one for the middle (blackn’white) and a custom one on top, where i modifies weather to have a clock instead. Qs on rainmeter: notice in the first screen shop the overlap of the middle section on top of the bottom section, in screen shot #2 it’s correct. I can’t get it to stay that way without clicking on the middle part, which moves the layer above the bottom one :cry:
3. now, to finish i HAVE to do something with the taskbar - I HATE IT! what to do? I would like to grey out all the stupid colored icons, that would look better, but is there a better way - it would take forever to replace all those icons, no? i dont even think it’s possible… so is there a taskbar replacement? ideas? suggestions? thanks!!!!!
here they are:
desktop….
desktop with app open…
cheers :drool:
