MayorTim: you had me fooled there for a second! I thought that actually WAS a Mac!

Mine is SOOOOO boring. I used a combo of the Windows built-in ones... A few days ago my SkinXP appy thingy trial expired so I had to go back to the normal ones, but then I downloaded the Media Center style from Microsoft's website. Looks OK. See for yourself: (I added hints with Photoshop)

Hmm, the windows media skin isn't too bad, I always thought it was from Windowblinds or style XP.

Sucks that your skinning program's trial ran out, I personally use WindowBlinds 4.6 because it has no trial, just the occasional popup you have to stare at for 5 seconds.

I think you'd all be glad to know that if I had the 19.95 to buy WindowBlinds5, I'd seriously consider donating it to Simtropolis, before before actually buying WindowBlinds5!

Though I hate buying things over internet, I think I'd be more content with just mailing the 20$ to Hamilton.

Either way, I'm perpetually broke, no matter what I try to do. So, to get back on topic, here you go!

That's my current one.

And here's what (many) windows look like. My browser window isn't transparent (because I use Firefox, and I prefer it that way)

Post edited. Sorry about that one, folks! I'm used to resizing BEFORE posting...

To use skins I would recommend using a program called Window Blinds made by the Stardock. However, don't download it through them, since all their site has is Window Blinds 5, which is absolutely terrible since it comes with only a 60 day trial.

Instead, you can still download Window Blinds 4.6 Here!

Good places to go to get windowblinds skins:

deviantART Skin Gallery
Wincustomize

I don't get why more people don't buy WindowBlinds, I mean it's only $20 or $15 for an upgrade.

Well, I only get $40 a month for mowing our lawn once a week, and my parent's don't want to buy a program that Messes up the computer by making it look diffrent and plus they seem to think buying things online is a sin.

So, free trial it is. For me, at least.

EDIT: Oh, and for anyone who didn't know yet, Flyakite 3.0 was recently released! It allows a new level of Mac Emulation, with a ton of cool added programs, very innovative components, and is more complete than the previous version.

My desktop looks very similar, but with some changes: OS X Tiger wallpaper, RK Launcher instead of object dock, and new programs such as Search Spy (which I still can't figure out) Mac System Preferences, a visual style (which I don't use) and more...

Okay, well, I do finally have a new desktop.

Unfortunately, I am unable to show it to you, since the screenshot is 2.11 MB, and I don't know of any place where I can host a file that big.


If you always take the same road, you will never see anything new.
If you can read this, you deserve a cookie.
