I just got a new computer today, I decided to get XP, but was sick of looking at the standard XP "Luna" theme. So I look into customizing xp for the first time. I didn't want to change XP dramatically or make it look like Vista. So I went for the "royale noir" theme. I added the Stardock, some yahoo widgets and a nice wallpaper of my favorite musician. I think got a nice fresh look and some cool new features:

I realize for you guys this is pretty standard but I quite like it

Hey PurrBall .. I notice that you have the Cairo setup there in your Start Menu ...

Is it available yet .. ?

~ Oh nearly forgot ... My attempt at my first official wallpaper gave me an idea ...

A DESKTOP SIDEBAR Desktop Sidebar ... I might need a hand with the clock at some point !!

New one for the month. WB is GT3, WinAmp is Invicta, and I made the Wallpaper. I call it "Blue Silk."

Peace!

Hey Snidely...Reply #35...up or down your icon size 1 or two pixels on those side singles to even out the dots...I can see a blank space there. That'll get rid of it.

I'm going minimalistic this month.

Those watermelon-sized biggies on the bottom are ObjectDock set with a built in Aero-ish transparent background. Even this is set to autohide, so I only see the wallpaper.
Taslbar also set to autohide.
What else do I need?

messiah, they're actually too big for my liking as they are now. if i set the size any smaller, the text disappears.

pizeleo, are you using the default aero skin? if not, turn on your dwm so office will be skinned.

Only ObjectDock is skinned.
