1. get uxthemepatcher www.chip.de/downloads/c1_downloads_13005628.html

2. get a nice theme www.deviantart.com or http://guistyles.com/index.php

3. get glass2k to make the taskbar/windows transparent http://chime.tv/products/glass2k.shtml

it's better than all the other dock programs
Parent

mythos 16 Aug 2007, 19:11
no, because you cant start it when you installed i-net explorer 7

vista zzz

blackbox is still the best "desktop" on windows
Parent

Necuz 16 Aug 2007, 21:55
Blackbox as in bb4w, bblean, xoblite, or something else? There seems to be a million ports. I've been meaning to see if I can get used to it under Windows, too... :x

I'm using bbLean 1.16, seems to be the most stable.. ain't using many of the plugins outside of the ftp box, sits in the bottom left always on top

drag any file there and it gets uploaded with a link in my clipboard, awesomeness!

What theme are you using?

I'm currently using Clearly Human which is asimilar to the default ubuntu installation, works but I want a better one...

Shame most of them are desigend for font-size:6px; :\

Looks nice.

How do you get irssi to do that? Fullscreen covering the desktop, hidden?

Oh and I also see you use the same console as me :)
Parent

Necuz 18 Aug 2007, 11:06
That's just one big bash Console window, running ssh through cygwin to my irc box.

I have two separate instances installed, the other one for normal use.

N@Haven, Desu Noto fan? :)

I'm scounging parts for a linux serverbox atm, need to find some ram :\. Hopefully it'll allow me to setup proper QoS for one.

Necuz 18 Aug 2007, 14:38
Actually, I took it from 'Vampire: The Masquerade' and have used it as my hostname as long as I can remember. Though, do I watch Desu Noto. :)

WRT54GL + OpenWrt = Proper QoS and much, much more. Best 60€ I have ever spent in my life.

Wireless :\

QuoteAll-in-one Internet-sharing Router, 4-port Switch, and 54Mbps Wireless-G (802.11g) Access Point


The wireless is top notch, though.

Well yeah, I know that. I'll try and get my dad to replace the current setup.

Got a netgear router hooked up to a dlink wireless hub and a shitty 10/100 dlink switch, which has me/dad/sister plugged in.

It's the best firewall you can get for under a few thousand. With all the virus and hacker scare as of late, that's bound to sell it to any dad.

My dad isn't tech-illiterate... not a pro but not a newb, something like that wouldn't work.

He caught me blowing up some yellow vans the other day, then he grounded me. I tried to explain I was doing it for the lulz.

The WRT54GL is cheaper than a dog, that's for sure.

Right click, uncheck "Lock Taskbar", drag it to the top of your screen.

Parent

wba is windowblinds only i guess
you need to find normal extensions like .theme or .msstyles
