it's a litestep shell with ots distro, http://ls-ots.cjb.net

remember, it's a shell that replaces explorer.exe, so u cant use desktop to put icons etc, it might be change your desktop look in a second, but once u want to install another themes.. u gotta edit step.rc and stuff, and newbies do experience a problems in this part. becareful, it might fux0r up ur windoze.. if your using winxp or win2k, make a new user and get used to it, when it fux0rz up, then just del the account and make a new one.. easy

The icon for Serv-U Administrator is converted straight from OSX.

If you email me I'll send you the set, which includes several icons I have not seen available anywhere else

(for XP that is, of course anyone with OSX has them... ).

The background picture is done with Background Wizard, which can be found at Blink Windows XP (the link is 1/2 down the page under "Give your folders wallpaper" -it's a Geocities link, so you may have to copy the link and paste it into your address bar ).

The dock is a variation of a DesktopX theme from a friend of mine, deadzombie. You can download it at DeskMod. It's only designed to work on version 1.04 or later of DesktopX. If you use it, leave him a comment on DeskMod telling him if you like it. I know he's considering expanding it to add more features depending on feedback.

Don't worry about all the questions, we are all here to help each other out. Anyone else want to know anything or have ideas on how to improve this theme?

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.

      I doubt that Google will keep the same price... it may go up from that list published.
    • Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Sennheiser's audiophile grade HD 600 hits lowest ever price on Amazon Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen If you are in the market for high-quality audiophile-grade over-ear headphones then Sennheiser's HD 600 are a great choice for sure, especially today on Prime Day 2026 as the product has hit its lowest ever price (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Sennheiser HD 600 has long been regarded as a reference headphone for listeners seeking a detailed and natural listening experience. It is an open-back design that is built around the idea of acoustic transparency which is essentially said to allow sound waves to move freely for a more spacious and accurate presentation by reducing turbulence and the type of distortion that can result from it. At the heart of the product is Sennheiser’s proprietary driver system featuring a 42 mm driver paired with a lightweight diaphragm and aluminum voice coils. The company says this design helps deliver fast response times and better articulate sound across the audible frequency range. Comfort and durability are also key aspects of the HD 600 as the headphones feature soft velour ear pads designed for extended listening sessions. The HD 600 comes with a detachable 3-meter cable, a 6.3 mm stereo connector, and a 3.5 mm adapter for compatibility with a wide range of audio equipment. The technical specs of the Sennheiser HD 600 are given in the table below: Specification Value Transducer Principle Dynamic, Open-Back Ear Coupling Circumaural (Over-Ear) Frequency Response 12 Hz – 40,500 Hz Sound Pressure Level (SPL) 97 dB (1 V) Impedance 300 Ω Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) < 0.1% (1 kHz, 1 V) Cable Length 3 m (9.8 ft) Connector 3.5 mm Stereo Jack Plug Included Adapter 6.3 mm (1/4") Stereo Jack Adapter Weight 260 g Magnetic Field Strength 1.8 mT Driver Size 42 mm Dynamic Driver Diaphragm Size 38 mm Get it at the link below: Sennheiser HD 600: $237.00 (Sold by Electronics Expo, Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $449.95) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
