Ah. It wasn't loading earlier so I just jumped down the download link expecting you'd posted it from there.

PNG is lossless compression (i.e. perfect condition of image) and makes a much smaller file than bmp because it is compressed.

How:

Install Vista OSX v3 to change look, Boot Screen, Lgin Screen, Add Dock Bar, Ect
Install Y'z Shadows to increase window shadows and add menu Transparancy
Install D-Color XP to allow Tile Icons on Desktop
Install VisualTaskTips_34 for minimized window Previews
Install WindowsSidebarStyler_x86 to alter the Vista SideBar
Install Safari and set this as your default browser


Vista OSX v3 is a bit dodgy when installing, so if it fails to install correctley, then you may find that you have to reinstall windows, But only complaint i have about this skin is no transparant titlebars on windows.

What would be cool is if you create a 3d landscape and then take those 211 screenshots of the 3d world so when you play them in order it circles the landscape and ends up back where you started.

This was mine in august. I'm still changing from then, I just need to find a happy median with what I got right now. That, and that Launchy, RocketDock, and other things are tired of working(Although their process is running, they don't appear on-screen).

This is my work desktop. The backdrop is with the mrs, on holiday in Gower. Weather was horrible. The dog isn't ours, but followed us around all day. I really like the composition of this photo, even if it was pure fluke, and taken on a crappy phone cam.

Mine - just thought I'd give it a skin - I like a bit of variation, so I like to change how my desktop appears every so often.



There's a limited of freebies for Windows 7 - I wouldn't mind something a bit more monochrome.

It's not, by definition, an emulator. An emulator mimics another system at the low level, recompiling or interpreting its processor instructions and simulating other hardware.

Slightly off-topic, but I would guess that's a photoshop job! It looks too perfect! Plus, it makes no logical sense to moor a tiny rowing boat 50 meters off-shore. So you'd have to get a rowing boat to row out to your rowing boat, in order to row away.

Well lazerus was right about the ropes; however there ARE a lot of photoshopped nature wallpapers available at that website, so I would not be surprised.
