http://www.virtualplastic.net/html/task_itm.html

remove the seperator lines by locking your taskbar, but i have a 3d color scheme that makes my windows quite flat (not that flat but better than default windows classic) and the system tray flat ( real flat like using tclock).

about renaming log off, and removin setting.. just check www.virtualplastic.net

omg, OMG! how can i make my desktop look like that? is that linux or xp?

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?

    • Usually the bigger ones with many fixes/changes take a few, theyre an exception to the rule most likely
    • If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
