thanks Zain, the only problem I am having now is with Windows Explorer. It isnt changing the icon for it. It changes it on the desktop shortcut but whenever I drag it to the superbar, it just changes right back to the default explorer folder look.

Didnt work for me either. I am using RC1

Tinkering around with mine today...

Getting in the autumn spirit, and I figured I'd give Trillian Astra a try as I've been using Digsby for a while.. (still not too sure what to make of it to be honest).

Also, giving my man Javier (-Kol) some support as he just hit his 8,000th post yesterday..and he's still turning out (in my humble opinion) some of the best wallpapers/themes around..

Winamp's not showing because I'm not listening to anything via Winamp atm,... but I quite like the over all look of things.

Clock is a custom Rainmeter skin made by yours truly after not being satisfied with every other Rainmeter skin I came across.

It doesn't take a lot of time and effort to read the posting guidelines for this thread (as indicated in the first post).

I have a new wallpaper, it's a macro of some LEDs on a torch.

    • Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
    • eh I'll wait for the June 2026 MVS ISO downloads which should be coming out next Tuesday June 16 and possibly contain build 8655 instead of 8653
