Worrying is about as effective as chewing gum to solve algebra

Slacking even more!

Man, I'v really done eff all today (Except paint the plexiglass on my PC. That took all of half an hour :/) except watch movies and browse the web, where I saw one of the must fun looking OS addons I've ever seen.

Some of you may know it - It's called Beryl and it's a.. I hate to say skin, more, complete modification. It looks fan-fucking-tastic. Here, though. See for yourself. I enjoyed the video for two reasons, one, it's a sweet looking OS interface. Two, it has Metal Gear Solid 2 music :B

It's available on a few of the distros that're any good (Knoppix, Open Suse, Ubuntu) and installed as default interface on Sabayon (Which is annoyingly a buy-it thing, although, only seven euros).

Yeah, that was all I had to say >.>

Oh, and, since some of you are not linux geeks, you should try Project Looking glass :B It's a Sun Microsystems project that's been going for a few years. I've not used it for at least a year and a half, though, due to a number of OS changes >.>

It's pretty, and kinda fun too. Can be a pain in the ass to get working, but hey. It's fun when you get it there :B

      By far my favourite was the one I used to run (Using the Neowin UXtheme patcher) I used Luna Royale Classic.

      Which can be found here not to be confused with Luna Element, which is VERY similar.

      I have manually patched the uxtheme.dll before, but it's a pain, and thus, I suggest using UXTheme Multi-Patcher (Neowin Edition) 4.0 instead, it does it all for you, rather than having you go sifting through several versions of uxtheme.dll ;)

          IIRC: go to C:\Windows\Resources.

          Using Luna Royale as an example, you should have

          C:\Windows\Resources\Luna Royale\Luna Royale.mss

          then you should be able to do right click>properties>display settings(?) on the desktop and select the Luna Royale skin like you would the blue/silver/olive standard skins

                  The only thing I can suggest, then, is finding out your version of XP (dxdiag tells you, so does properties on My computer) and manually replacing the uxtheme.dll, rebooting, and seeing how that pans out for you.

    I go where I please, and I please where I go

    I'd probably have unbuntu on the box i'm using right now if it wasn't for all the tricky networking I have set up. It'd probably run much faster than XP.

    That looks pretty cool though. I wish the Vista skinning community had some weight behind it, not this stupid "Glass mod #650230092" trend that everyone is doing.

    All this looks too confusing. Sometimes I think the things you speak is code for an alien race while you are helping plan their hostile take over.
