Title: Post Your Desktop Thread
Post by: Anonymous on November 12, 2004, 02:42:26 pm
you can take a screenshot of your desktop by pressing the "print screen" button on your keyboard, and then pasting it into an art program.
For my desktop, I'm using aston, which is a shell for windows.  It uses a little less than half of the memory of the default xp desktop, so it's pretty nice.
http://www.astonshell.com/
For others, the most widely used would probably be windows blinds.  It simply skin's programs in explorer, and uses anywhere between 5-10mb of ram in addition to explorer.exe.
You can get windows blinds from http://www.stardock.com.

Of course, there's various "other" sites in which you can get both programs for free, and even registered for free ;)

To add stuff to the top menu (or wherever it is in your skin) just simply right click on  one of the tabs and click change.  After that a window should popup saying "Plug-in setup" on that, theres buttons along the top, one of which is "Add an element".  You might want to look at the elements already there and copy the "First Icon" line of it, all three should be the same so just paste it into the three slots when you're in the new element window(otherwise it just won't show up, or it'll look all fucked up).
I think that's pretty much a quick jist of the whole thing, just play around with it, it's not too hard to figure it out.

Title: Post Your Desktop Thread
Post by: Eroz on January 20, 2005, 10:14:40 pm
Aston shell. It uses about half the resources that Micro$haft windows explorer does. The only down side to it is the learning curve of how the program operates. (You can find a free version, but its just so good I'm going to play for it.) Hey Nat you might know, but how do you get Aston do recongize Firefox as the default browers? And is there some way to have the left toolbar notepad to run on top of all apps? Like over the blurred game?

Wow, I'm really starting to like this Aston thing.  I was using WindowBlinds, but I liked how yours looked, so I d/l it.  It was a little frustrating at first, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.  This is what I'm using right now, with a little bit of my own tweaking.

You need some blurs man. Aston is better IMO becasue it overrides windows explorer and uses less system resources while doing it. Window Blinds just overwrite Windows and uses more system resources. But hey, its all good. Now if I can just figure out how to reset back to default, the world would be good.

I'm considering buying Aston.  Is it very difficult to configure?  I consider myself an advanced computer user...I play with partitions, formatting, alternate OS's and such.  If something goes wrong, can I switch back to the regular windows explorer easily?  Thanks in advance for your replies!
Title: Post Your Desktop Thread
Post by: Eroz on February 02, 2005, 05:43:59 pm
Very easy back to Explorer but with Aston running why would you ever want to. If you have it running right now look for something called Shell Swapper then choose Explorer and keep clicking next.
