Re: Desktop Wallpaper

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.

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.
