Actually, it is kind of complex. It actually comes from an upgrade for Windows Media Center, but the theme is usable in regular XP.

how can you stand all the crap on there? Weather, calander and a giant clock, because the one in the corner isn't good enough, and does that news crwl stay on top of everthing or will it go behind windows?

You must have alot of RAM, too... my computer would die trying to run all that.18.gif

Actually, not much RAM at all. Only 384 Megs of PC133. I use this computer mainly for internet use, so it doesn't run real slow. I close everything out for games, or will shut down the more RAM intensive ones if the computer is running slow. I don't have a calendar in my room yet (I moved within the past few months), so that's why I have the one on the computer. Likewise for the clock, and I can't see the little one at a distance. And yes, the crawl does stay on top. I really like to stay informed, and it doesn't get in the way.

You must be very informed1.gif

I figure, when BATting, instead of having a picture viewer window open, why not put it on my desktop? I made the picture myself! It's convenient, and interesting to look at.

Still haven't gotten my own 360, but hopefully I can find one tomorrow somewhere.

If your talking about the windowblinds skin, it is called Origin from Wincustomize.com. If your talking about the wallpapers, they are from Deviantart.

Anyway, a new Xbox 360 WB skin has been released both on Deviantart and Wincustomize, and here is my new desktop with it.

34 pages? Well, my desktop is covered in so many icons and stuff almost to the point that I can't see my picture of JTHM in the background. Very unsettling, isn't it? 47.gif Those XBOX backgrounds are cool.

anywhipsy, I've changed my background. I considered changing my theme, but I like Luna VX too much. I've had it since April 2004.
