Post by: Stunaep on January 08, 2003, 01:11:22 pm

it's actually been like 3 weeks since the last one

to use the "lvlshot" tags, use them instead of the "img" tags.
they make an image 600x400  ... i think

i forget,

so instead of using

[ img]http://pictures.com/picture.jpg[/ img]
use
[ lvlshot]http://pictures.com/picture.jpg[/ lvlshot]

(remove the spaces in the tags)

DesktopX. It works best with XP - XP has all that support for skins and stuff. ObjectDesktop - the big suite that DX is a part of - pretty much expands on that.

Let me dig up a link.. or three..

http://www.stardock.com/ - Home of Object Desktop
http://wincustomize.com/ - themes for pretty much any skinning program
http://www.deviantart.com - good source of wallpapers
http://www.deskmod.com/ - another desktop modification site
http://www.pixtudio.com/ - These are awesome "suites", but you have to pay for some of them
Welcome to the world of desktop customization :D

It's called StyleXP.  Actually, I think this theme can be used with XP 'natively'.

Don't bother.  The movie blows more chunks than Battlefield Earth.  The ONLY good thing about it is the graphics.  Everything else sucks.

I think I watched FF:TSW almost entirely for its technical brilliance. (It was certainly good at that, though.) :)
