Meshuggah Can i ask what theme that is

It's a custom theme I made. The edges are the carbon theme and I opened up This Image with Paint.Net, resized it to 1920x1200 (it was originally 1080p, so 1920x1080), put it on a thumbstick, and then set that image as my background.

It does the job well, and kind of looks like the theme they are charging for, which I won't pay for, heh.

When you set an image that's on a thumbstick as your background, does the image get copied over to the HDD, or does your thumbstick have to be plugged in all the time? I imagine it's the former, but just making sure. :p

It automatically copies over to the 360's HDD because it has to make a .theme out of it. Only thing that kinda sucks though, is if you transfer over your theme on your mem card to take to a friends house or something, you have to make sure the jpg is also copied over to the mem card, or it will just be default. But it's not too bad if you hardly change themes like me. Just move it copy it from HDD once it is made and that's it.

Regarding WMP11, yeah...I have WMP 11...This however is my all in one WINAMP skin.... :devil:

Here's mine with my new Xbox 360, only had it a few days. Nothing special here.

After playing on a normal TV, I really want a HD TV now. I most probably will get one in the next few weeks/months.

Feel free to add me on Xbox Live, since I have no friends (... on Live...) yet!

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

      This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time by Sayan Sen Memory prices have been through the roof for a while, though it seems like things might finally be getting better. If you are in the market for one, then grab this Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000 CL36 kit with RGB for a low price of just $340 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The kit is compatible with both AMD and Intel systems as it supports both EXPO and XMP overclocking profiles, respectively. 6000 MT/s is often the sweet spot for many systems as it provides ample data transfer speed while still being on Gear 1 mode. This Vengeance variant has RGB so if you love bright setups with such lighting, this is a win-win for you. The technical specifications of the Corsair Vengeance memory kit are given in the table below: Specification Value Memory Type DDR5 Memory Size (Total) 32GB Kit Configuration 2 × 16GB Form Factor UDIMM (Desktop) Pin Count 288-pin Speed (Data Rate) 6000 MT/s Speed Rating PC5-48000 Tested CAS Latency 38-44-44-96 Voltage (Tested) 1.35V Performance Profile AMD EXPO & Intel XMP Heat Spreader Aluminum heatspreader Cooling Type Passive (Heatsink) Lighting Ten Zone RGB Software Support Corsair iCUE Get it at the link below: CORSAIR Vengeance RGB DDR5 32GB (2 x 16GB) 6000 CL38 – Gray (CMH32GX5M1E6000Z38): $339.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US, Fulfilled by Amazon US) This Woot deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By grunger106 · Posted

      The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
