Default Windows Theme.

Today I'm going to teach you exactly how to make your windows theme look like this
Programs Needed :
Rocketdock
Rainmeter
Objectbar
Hud.Vision Skin for rainmeter
Now to tell you what all of this does I use rocket dock for my icons/dock at the bottom of the screen, Objectbar to remove the windows taskbar, and Rainmeter for my clock/date/winamp, hud.vision is just a skin for rainmeter.

Installation :
Rocketdock : Just install it, I use the blank skin, You can find that by right-clicking the dock going to style->theme->blank
In the general settings, I have run at start, minimize windows to dock, and open running application instance.

Objectbar : You're gonna install it and it's going to tell you to pick a bar, I chose mac but later on you'll end up disabling it so it doesn't matter, choose mac then you're done now go start->allprograms->stardock->objectdesktop->objectbar.
click on bars->remove then at the bottom left click remove windows taskbar.
I suggest doing rainmeter/hud.vision beforehand you'll see why

Rainmeter : install that and then leave it.

Hud.vision : Extract Black/White files into Rainmeter Skins directory
Extract file CoreTempPlugin.dll and MailMeter.dll in to Rainmeter Plugins directory
now on your systemtray, bottom left you'll see a raindrop now rightclick it go to configs, white or black w/e you want, then add clockvision am-pm and datevision. you can just click the "skins" to move the about.
if you want the winamp it's called "winampinterface"

Now follow the objectbar instructions and add icons to your rocketdock and remove all of yours from your desktop and you're good to go!
Thanks beforehand
Have any questions just post em here i'll answer asap

Looks nice, but how many rescources does all that use? I tend to just have a black background and clutter it up with shortcuts. I prefer a minimalist approach to all the programs that like to start up when the computer boots.

Of course, with the hardware we have now, a few extra programs won't really matter! Which Windows version is that stuff compatable with? Might try it on the Vista box.

Hrm, not quite sure if it works with vista, it should.
It only uses up 3 new small 2-5k resources for me
