Viagra Makes It Grow

Visual Style: Windows Classic -- UXTheme patch won't work, and I don't feel like running StyleXP. Blah.

Icons: BlueCurve -- http://www.bluecurve.tk

Wallpaper: South of Sausalito -- http://www.freundt.org/florian/_wall_1280.htm

Programs: Firebird 0.7, Rainlendar, Winamp, Thunderbird (running in tray, thanks to PowerMenu), Photoshop, Notepad and MSN Messenger.

I think that pretty much covers it all... :shifty:

I've tried all sorts of patches, including the one from Neowin.net (it said it was for SP1). I've also tried manually replacing the uxtheme.dll and StyleXP's UXTheme patch. No dice, however. If my eyes get to hurting too much from Windows Classic, I'll have to revert to using StyleXP *sob*. I've done all I can think of. Anyone else have ideas? :(

Edit: Just tried the UXTheme Multipatcher by Vorte[x] again, still nothing. *sigh* God hates me.

Using:

DesktopX (www.desktopx.net) for the pumpkins, meters, calendar, ghosts, and the spiffier icon size/shadow.

IconPackager package of icons from Pixtudio (www.iconzone.com)

WindowBlinds "Trick or Treat" from Pixtudio. I modified this myself to get more useful colors.

CursorXP "Halloween Cursors" so that my cursor is a candy corn. It's pretty cool. I also modified it in CursorXP to be a bit larger than default.

great desktop for October! :yes:

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
