If you do not use your network at all, heres what you do. Right click on My Network, go to properties. Right click on your Network properties and disable it. Once its disable it will no longer show up in the tray and it shouldnt come back until you renable it. However if you use your network a lot then this probably is not your best solution. Otherwise you could always hide it, but then you have that pesky arrow.

Before I tell you what I think, remember, this is my personal opinion. What you think looks sweet may differ from my definition of sweet. ;)

But it's a bit much. Feels too crowded IMO. Also, there's something wrong with all that use of blue. I think it's the contrast between the blue used in the windows and stuff to the blue on the desktop. It just doesn't work.

I think the AOL icon (not, not AIM, AOL) deducts points too. ;)

I don't mean to be critical or anything, but you asked and all. :)

Seriously though, keep it up. Eventually you'll come to a point where you can look at it, and won't even notice it's there (which is what I think a good looking OS is... something that looks so good, that it just goes with everything).

Ya no kidding what is the a pc site or a bunch of mac osx wanna bes. I personally don't understand what every one sees in osx. I like xp and I don't think MS is evil.

maybe some people want to pretend they are using a Mac, but I know for myself it's only because I like the way some of the Mac visuals look kinda cool...

eventually, like with anything, it will fade i am sure.

i don't think MS is any more evil than anyone else, and I definitely love XP, if only for the fun of customizing.

I sure wouldn't mind if some of the Mac themes and styles would leave out the apple logo, but i am just too damned lazy to hack them out myself...

:D

Did you have to hack a .dll to get the sony sub as the speaker icon in the systray. That is so cool :) Which .dll is it, or how did you do it? If anyone else knows, please let me know.

Only because I feel the need to show off my webview skills ;).

(This is Windows 2000 btw, I'm just using the XP wallpaper because it looks so sweet. :))

No tutorials really. I'm just doing it all by freehand. Heh.

If all goes well and I get enough feedback and maybe a little help, I may end up releasing my custom webview within this week (I most likely will anyway because I don't want to make you guys suffer without it for 2 weeks while I'm away, that and maybe someone else can improve on it while I'm gone).

i do have a small networking here.

i've changed its behaviour to 'always hide', but it still comes out.

i'm losing my temper for this...
