Been looking at jazzing my desktop up a bit and am very impressed with some of those I've seen here, particularly Paul's. Could anyone tell me how the Windows taskbar has been customised, oh, and the little calender thingy, oh and the large icons at the top? Here's mine at present - a pic of Norwich in the snow.

Semi On 14-03-2004 13:08

Re: Desktop Wallpaper
 
The calendar is Rainlendar...do a Google for the "Moderna" skin - much better than the default. To change your taskbar, download this if you're using XP SP1. A good place to start looking for themes is themexp.org, but there are other places. If you're not using XP then someone else will have to help here.

For the large icons at the top you'll need to download Objectdock, and find yourself either some .pngs or large icons to use.

As for places to look, Design Technika (especially the forums) is a great place to start. Not only will you find some things you're looking for, you'll also find links to other sites that can help.

Could you tell us where we can get the desktop calendar? It looks very neat and much better than that piddling thing in the Sys Tray.

nope but it was easier to link to the picture on my site rather dig through the files on my computer to find where it is saved and upload it! The wallpaper version is cropped so it fits on my standard 14" 1400 x 1050 laptop screen in nice proportions :)

Very nice :)


Don't forget to plug it in this thread: http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=194 ;) :)


btw, I like the idea of using an image gallery thing like Coppermine. I might try that.


Anyway, back to the Wallpaper... ;)

I hate Windows so much, whenever I try to change my back-ground it comes up saying about some .dll causing a fatal error and needs to close. When ever I try it again it just closes without changing the back-ground. :grind:

I wish I could install RedHat on here with XP :(

EDIT: My old desk-top (wanting to put that that on)

swoop101 14-06-2004 09:18

Restarted my PC, and got the same error again. This time I took a screeny of it.

EDIT: I think I might need to do a format, for some reason the Windows shell keeps crashing, so then I have to restart a load of programs so I can see them in the task bar. Anything I could do other than a format?

swoop101 14-06-2004 12:03

Re: Desktop Wallpaper
 
You could try the sfc utility.

start/run then type sfc /scannow

you will need the XP CD in the drive.
It will take a while.

post back if that does not fix.

Just tried that, all it did was bring up a command prompt and dissapeared straight away.

swoop101 14-06-2004 15:47

Did you put the space between sfc and /

try again, it should put the comm prompt up then another box.

try running it from a cmd prompt instead. Might work. From start, select run then type cmd
