Basically I have run out of ideas, tried lots of different litestep or visual themes. I really like wingnome-xp's work on deviantart.com

But i really want to have a different kind of taskbar, like gnome...

just tried gnome for litestep, really nice theme but litestep just couldn't get it to work right...

so i am looking for new apps, visual themes, to help make my pc look like gnome...

Here's what i am using currently.

WindowsPager - Virtual Desktop's App

TclockEX - Custom Time/Date/Format

HmmXP - Visual Style

Rainlendar - Tango Skin

Ditto - Freeware Clipboard Manager/Recorder

Breakaway Audio Enhancer - I am hearing impaired, so this nice app, shareware, boosts the volume for me.

Nuvola Icon Set - IconPackager Theme

Here is a screenshot:

Not new (4-5 Years old) but clear, simple and REALLY useable without eyestrain

The VXP (*.msstyles) I prefer since Years :) - I haven't found any similaire :]

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
