Haydos Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 I'm using Windows 7. Right, I've spent a fair few hours on this the last couple of days (student back for the hols) so if you want something like it you've gotta know a little bit about computers, play around quite a lot and read around a bit. Stumbled upon this website which has a fvck load of customisable stuff for Windows. It's not very well laid out and you only find out what stuff is by clicking on it. A lot of stuff on there is for use with Rainmeter, you can read a bit about it here. It's basically a program which lets you skin/edit/customise the Windows desktop. Once you have that installed you can download loads of skins at that customize site or at DeviantArt. in the 'customise' section. You get all sorts of stuff, clocks, calenders, buttons, music players, icons, graphics, wallpapers and other little bits and bobs. The navigation I've used is called RocketDock and it works just like the Mac toolbar at the bottom. This is skinable too. I've used a program to hide the Windows taskbar cause I wanted to replace it with a cooler looking taskbar type thing like the one at the top of my screenshot. Ideally that will act as my new taskbar but I'm still experimenting. I think you can download a tray (the stuff in the bottom right of normal windows) app for it and I'm hoping to find a start button as well. At the moment that dock and icon set isn't very visible when it's at the bottom so I'm tryna find a way around that. I didn't really design it, took some inspiration of the two main websites I mentioned, there's loads of peoples screenshots on there. Glad you like it, if you've got some free time, it's worth a fiddle, if you're finding it a bit frustrating you can always keep it simple or even uninstall it and start again. I'll let you know if I make any improvements.
Itsthejoeker Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 I just want the image! I have a mac so no need customising
Haydos Posted 6 July 2011 Posted 6 July 2011 I just want the image! I have a mac so no need customising Cock, I don't know where exactly. Somewhere early on in the screenshots section of customize.org I believe. There was a link to it on one of the guys setups. EDIT: What's your resolution + email, I've got a folder with a load in.

LCFC_FAN_1995 Posted 5 August 2011 Posted 5 August 2011 anyone know any sites what do good new leicester backgrounds?
Narborough_fox Posted 5 September 2011 Posted 5 September 2011 Seems to of gone weird but yeah here's mine
Bugg Posted 12 September 2011 Posted 12 September 2011 Where did you find that background, POTC? It's fantastic.
Part Of The Crowd Posted 12 September 2011 Posted 12 September 2011 Friend photoshopped it and sent it to me, I think so anyway. I was looking through my downloads folder and it was in there, with me having a vague memory of that happening. That's not the whole picture, there's a bit more to the right and left, but I think it serves it's purpose, I can upload the file to Imageshack or something if you want it?
thrillbert Posted 13 September 2011 Posted 13 September 2011 Where did you find that background, POTC? It's fantastic. I found it in high-res for download here: http://wallpaperswide.com/heaven_vs_hell-wallpapers.html (If you are interested, the way I found it was by using google image search. You can now give it an image as the input of your search (either by uploading or by giving it an URL) - it let's you quite easily find the source of an image and other sizes)
Bugg Posted 13 September 2011 Posted 13 September 2011 Thanks for offering POTC, cheers for the link thrillbert.
thrillbert Posted 14 September 2011 Posted 14 September 2011 Feeling all the OSX love in this thread. Switching to it from Windows took some getting used to, but its increased my productivity no end.
