Hey, I just stumbled across this site and it is great. Saw a wallpaper in the first post my medevil (i think is the name) that I really liked. The last one, all green with tea cup and lemon. Does anyone know where I could get my hands on it? Thanks a lot.

How do I get those shutdown icons in the top-right corner?

You can get those Shutdown Icons in this thread, but I made new ones (they don't need folders anymore, just a reg file and they have Enhanced Context menus). :D

sent you a reply. i'm at work, so i might not be able to chat, but i'll try and talk to you tonight. here are some things that bug me:

-changing icons. we should go into detail, especially when it comes to special folders.

-getting large desktop icons. this has been discussed to death, but people just don't read.

-hacking system properties dialogue.

-startup screens. more detail, e.g. palettes.

-editing icons. which apps, and how to do it (e.g. conversion).

-how to use replacer (some people just don't know!).

-how to change the default system font.

-how to remove the throbber in explorer/ie, or how to replace it.

-long taskbar.

-creating reboot/shutdown shortcuts.

-deleting special folders like my pictures.

-reshacking guide! start with reshacking shell32.dll, so people stop asking.

-making visual styles (talk about the difference between VISUAL STYLES and THEMES).

-how to get transparency.

-shells. give reference sites.

-console. tell people how to get nifty-looking consoles.

-permission. what to do when you get the "access is denied" popup.

-search companion loads when you browse explorer.

-marlett!

-tclock2 (go in depth).

-hacking the start button.

-samurize weather plugin guide.

-window rolling apps.

-avi fixes in xp.

some border on tweaking, but i still want guides because people keep asking the same questions. i have more ideas, but i just need to go through the forums again and pick out more annoyances.

You should include some info on RCube's Longhorn Systray Clock as an alternative to Tclock.

I use this clock and like it much better than Tclock.
