Cool stuff! Thanks for the wallpaper too *stolen*

Here is my new one, I think you guys might be interested in a few things in this one so take a look..... try and guess what has been modded [three things in total] and if you give up, the answer is below hehe!

Give up?

1) Windows 7-ish theme [easy]
2) 64x64 icons IN DETAILS view [only for Videos and Pictures foldertype, "All Items" is 32x32 :D] [This was tricky to do]
3) "Videos" and "Search" added to Start Menu [VERY hard to do, and a little bit buggy still - namely the Videos shortcut]


;)

Your taskbar looks nice, JonusC! Where did you get that Windows 7 skin from?

It's one of these two -
http://www.askvg.com/update-download-wi ... ows-vista/
http://www.askvg.com/yet-another-window ... ows-vista/
...taken from the "Vista to Se7en without Transformation Pack" article at...
http://www.askvg.com/transform-windows- ... tion-pack/


...be sure to get the modifed files that allow unsigned themes. Found at...
http://www.askvg.com/how-to-apply-3rd-p ... -software/
...includes Vista SP1 and Server 2008 files, both x64 and x86.


EDIT: That Vishal Gupta guy has some nice guides on his site for modding.
EDIT2: RemixedCat, I just noticed that you've blurred/censored out some of your labels lol.... whenever I see censoring on a screenshot, I ALWAYS get curious...! But then just assume it's something personally identifiable [or morally questionable, who cares heh]

BTW if you want a little bit of Windows 7 look and feel look at these two programs:
-the Aero Peek feature: http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.p ... opic=21667
-the Aero Snap feature (love this one): http://www.aerosnap.de/index_eng.htm
-and finally the Areo Shake feature: http://lifehacker.com/5082279/aero-shak ... -7-desktop
