The whole purpose of this thread is to provide a place where if you are looking for a new wallpaper or a new style for windows (or even mac/osx) you can come in here and check out other members setups, then if you like a item from their screenshot you can download the item if the link is provided or you can request it from that person.

F.A.Q

In order to use a .msstyle file (visual style / VS) you may need to get a 3rd party application called StyleXP. This application allows you to apply visual styles very easily without patching your system files but it does cost a few dollars.

Without StyleXP to use non microsoft visual styles in windows you would need to 'alter' (patch) one of your system files. Fortunately a patcher has been developed so it can be done for you without you going into the system files and adjusting anything.

Neowin UXTheme Multi-Patcher.

I suggest though if you use this method, before you apply the patch to make a backup of 'Themeui.dll' found in your windows/system32 folder just to be on the safe side. Just copy it elsewhere other than the system32 folder and rename the extention to something like themeui.bak, so windows does not do anything strange.

In the case you find a .wb file, that is a theme for a application called windowblinds. This is somewhat like Stylexp in terms of an application that handles themes but allows for more extensive skinning features, the newer versions of the application allows for transparency and other neat user interface features like changing folder copy/move animations but it does unfortunetly take a little of your system resources.

... more F.A.Q will be added through the month.


Structure of post:
Try to keep it similar to the following:



[click above thumb to see larger version - only one screen this time round.]

Vs: Clearlooks 0.6 Orange
Wall : find at the same link above ^

Comments: Huge fan of this visual style, probably because of the orange!, lol.. i love visual styles with orange. Well ive been trying to look for a visual style like this for ages. The only problem is i really like the black version of this with the black top bar (you can find it at the link above) but i really like the orange touches in this orange theme, if someone could combine the orange with the black then i would be one happy bloke! for the time being, ill be using them both at work and home.

Not really the thread to criticise people's work. And if he wanted feedback then he would have posted in the Showcase forum.
