Are you sure that's XP? It looks like a slightly modded Vista Home Premium but it's still pretty sweet. When I'm done with my new computer, I might (not promising anything) get you a picture. It's gonna look really sweet.

well it depends on what you want. there are master skins that cost money and the software to use the skin have trial versions or freeware version. i am using desktopX and cursorX which is free and thememanger which has a trial version but lets you keep the skin you installed when the trial runs out but you cant change ur skin.
interesting, I'll have to try when I get my new computer.

Yeah, since I'm only gonna have this computer for the next few days, there's not much point is there? So I'll check it out on my new computer. (phew, it's still xp) Yeah, I like vista, but xp has more stuff, and RF probably runs best on xp.

um....some of the widgets can/will interfere with some programs (milkshape/panda3d engine) so exit the moving ones(fishies) and move the nonmoving objects off to a side
Tell me if this look is available

I want to keep mine simple, I really just want these things, so if you could tell me if I can get this:
Analog clock
Navy blue toolbar (you know, on the bottom)
and a blue circle with the windows symbol for my start menu button. (like the one on vista) I hope these things are available and free, or at least cheap.
