been playin around with XP visual themes. (change the GUI look basically)

found some nice ones. i like this first one just cuz its a simple look, its very hard to find a good looking Black visual theme. which kinda pisses me off.

tried a few theme programs that are ment to change the skin of the GUI, but damned things take up system resources to do it.

finally found one that uses no sys resources at all :) (at least not anymore then windows already uses with its gui skin)

well. there are things that do that. ones that basically change the whole GUI of windows.

i could make windows look EXACTLY like the Mac OSX if i wanted.

problem with thoes is. 1 is messing with your windows shell. and i've had it a couple times screw the shell up so windows wont even boot up (luckily i have a second OS, so i could look up that system and change it so it worked again. otherwise id of had to reformat)

and 2 they use up sys resources to do it. even tho i like other styles like OSX better, im not about to take up power to run them when i could be using the power to run other stuff.
example: http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=13&file=MydescTOP.JPG&SkinID=915 <--Thats actually Windows.

i can change the windows skin without using any extra power tho. just having trouble finding a decent simple one that i really like. Found a OS X skin, but it makes the task bar look stupid.

For those of you unfamiliar with the beauty of OS X that Null describes, look no further... :D
