it's amazing what you can do by setting your desktop to a virtual webpage and writing your own scipts and rules for the desktop, you can do so much more and it's so easy! here is an example of waht I've done, I have links to all my hard drives on my computer (refund) my other computer (uss 31337) and I have shortcuts to all my games, and websites on hand, it feels good to finally break free from the constraints of the windows desktop, Imagine the possibilities! |

it'd be nice to learn java and use it to make menu's and icoin and create your own gui for windows as well, |

WOW CONGRATULATIONS ON THAT REFUND! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That is spectacular! Do you have any links to tutorials on how to do this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

nah, I just thought of it myself, simple stuff like remembering to make a background image, and to have the "open in new window" command set to whenever you need toopen a program, because otherwise IE start top download the program you are trying to run ^^ jere's a copy of the html file I use Drives:/// REFUND - Shortcut:/// Folders - Proggies:/// Visual class="message">ACDSee Internet target="_blank">Miranda< /a> Audio Utility - |

ah fuck, eh html tags work in ere... lol you get the idea though I hope |

Fucking waste of time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
target="_blank" having that line in the href is essential if you're linking to a program to open, otherwise it tries to DOWNLOAD it fomr your desktop and yes this was an excersice of boredom, but the results have been positive and I've had nothing better to do with my time,.. so it's hardly a "waste of time" you negative cock :D |

technology scares me, big-time |

Id loose my mind if I had that much shit on my desktop. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you could use litestep to modify the entire windows shell. I've done it once. although I removed it again because I'm just to much used to the old windows desktop |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You inspired me, Refund. Here's what I've got so far. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've got xlt as my desktop. And a little menu I made to the left. Now xlt is always in my face :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eeek Times New Roman how i hate that font |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
use LiteStep for full desktop and shell customisation it's the bomb i used it ages ago on my PC, and there's a huge theme community for it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Times New Roman is the IDM of fonts. Quickly dismissed and underappreciated |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Litestep is too unstable, anyway |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool, you're doing the left side start bar thing, ^^ hope you stick with it, people have a tendancy to have these things for like 3 days then change back, I know I'm certainly not! this rocks beyond all beleif, and it's not lagging my computer at all! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Now THAT is a damn good idea. Damn! Could you send the page you made to do that please refund? giginger@ministryofsound.net. Great way to cut down on desktop clutter :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how the hell is LiteStep unstable???!!! I used it for about three years, and never had one problem with it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The newer versions ARE unstable. They're quite buggy. I think they rewrote or something. First time I used it was fine. I tried it again recently and it was awful. REALLY slowed down my computer and made it crash a couple of times and ate memory like a whore. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahhh i thought it was just Virtual PC being a bitch, because I had tried one of the more recent builds. As I say, I used LiteStep for years....first heard about it around about 1999 or something I think, maybe eariler. Back then it was really great. That's a real shame that it's gone downhill :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its unstable because you mentioned it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dont get me wrong though. Its a cool app. If only it was SOLID and didnt eat up as much memory though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, yes it is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I totally bit your style, Refund. I'm shameless :) |

giginger: done and done brokenphones: it's good like that eh, as long as youy know what each icon means you're saving so much space on the taskbar, I love it... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Cheers for sending that mate :) I got it this morning. I'll check it out tonight! BAM! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i have the mb page there, and some more crap |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
plain text looks so much better than a page full of icons, I really don't think I'll ever change back, |
