Use the Windows Longhorn Transformation Pack. It is sure to snazzy up ur desktop.

It is given with one of the issues of Digit!

 

[shyam911]

All the above said would definitely make your desktop look Snazzy but they are know to use up system resources too.

 

[djmykey]

hi man, u can use style xp or winblinds enhanced version, they use less resources, but also rem that in winblinds the amount of resources depend on the skin that u r using if the skin is heavy then more ram is gone but if its a lil bit small then its ok. for icons use iconpackager its nice and I am using it since a long time. and for icons and wallpapers and all stuff of customizing go to deviantart.com the baap of all modding sites. and also check neowin forums for some really good tuts

ive downloaded an icons pack ( i dont iconpackager)....how do i apply the icons i downloadef??

 

[anandk]

try using "CrystalXP". its great and transforms everything about xp. its safe. (www.crystalxp.net) 8)

i also used "loghorn transformation pack", but i think crystalxp is better ! also uninstalling "longorn trns pk" created some problems for me, and i had to 'system restore'.

good old "StyleXP' or "WindowsBlinds" to hai Ho !.

I think this is the time to write a BIG collaborative "Customization Guide" in Tut section.........

now if u like the desktops, then u can use Talisman.
its a trial software and switches the shell from explorer to one that comes with it.
One significant thing worth noteworthy(other than great looking wallpapers)is to my suprise, when i see the Ram consumption now it has gone down!yes as Explorer.exe now does not run in the background , my Ram consumption has gone down.
remember for this u have to do "Shell Switching"
so unlike windows blinds or style xp, now i get gr8 dektops and more free ram!!! "DOUBLE BENIFIT"

 

[Calcatian]

Switching shell almost always frees up more RAM + u get Kick455 desktop I use Aston, it evn takes up lesser resources than Talisman = evn more free RAM.

Check this out: *customize.ru
The chacha of all modding sites

 

[expertno.1]

stylexp,windowblinds,talsman are the best

 

[Biplav]

@expert no1 -its Talisman.
@calcatian- i like aston but the themes available are bit to less. i like keep changing my desktops u know!

 

[sahil_blues]
