Changing Themes without windowblinds

KiwiFlavor · 15-July-06, 09:47 AM

Hi guyz, i've been using this method and it works nicely.. unlike windowblinds or other 3rd party software, it wont eat up your RAM so it won't make your computer slower and this is free. here's the link, you guys should try it

PS: This isn't my work (thought i would share it with you all xD) also, i'm not responsible if you crash your computer, PLEASE follow the instruction carefully

oh this only change your skin and not your cursors and icons

I don't use explorer as a shell so I get a pretty desktop and faster speed

with more functionality

curently using the FBL dynamic 1.7 theme
(if you game you will want to disable the weather updater as it will lag you every 15mins)

I tried LiteStep once, a while ago. I didn't know what to make of it.
It actually replaces explorer?
Maybe it's time for another go at it.

I did look for a explorer replacement for a while, but ended up on a hacked XP theme, I think it is a happy medium between being not too over the top without not being too similiar...

Please post some screenshots! (anyone really)

I never really got the whole transperent windows craze, it makes things harder to see I think, (and I know, I could just change it until I liked it, but thats usually around 70-100%)

your all in my head thus you all belong to me

depending on how dilusional I get I can change anything about you so I effectivly do own you all

I used Litestep and the FBL dynamic theme 1.7 for my desktop

install the installer then install the FBL theme, you can get alot more minimal than that thouhg
