I'm not sure if this has been changed in the Trillian Pro skin yet, but I replaced the default icon for metacontacts (quite surprised it was still in there) with this:

Thought you might be interested.. Was a quick job but I totally disliked the default metacontacts icon in a classix skin :)

What do I replace it with it the CTACT file, all I see is a bunch of little icons.

here https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=...ST&f=34&t=75267 you will have to put them in your shell32.dll tho.

maybe that link can be put in a readme?

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me out here...

I have downloaded the toolbar zip files containing the bmps.

How do I implemement them? The toolbar would look really nice with this theme.

Gigatexel has the same toolbar in his my computer window screenshot.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks

Pfft.

Hi all,

Just wanna let everyone know that I whipped up a quick mod of the wonderful altdesk theme based on the Winamp2 metrix skin to fit in with Classix 10K 2.

If anyone is interested in it, please lemme know, and I'll start the whole 'gimme permission' bal rollin'.

The screen shot attached (sorry, just couldnt be arsed to resize and crop it) shows what the altdesk skin looks like, it's the five panel app sitting under my shaded winamp in the top right corner. As you can plainly see, it's a blatant rip off of the metrix altdesk skin, if you've ever used it.

Anyhoo, lemme know if you want it or not.

Oops, the preview post option seems to forget to attach my image... ah well, here it is again.

Whoops, another thing, for those of you that might not be aware, AltDesk is the SUPER SNAZZY destkop switching app that Microsoft never seemed to get right.

Coming off of a Linux environment, I used to use Enlightenment for my desktop, anyway, AltDesk is the only app that I know of that can accurately emulate enlightenments virtual desktop implementation.

Check it out at AltDesk

    • Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
