Depends on how big a display, how many images used and what scripts you run. But generally no.

Behemoth · 1 Sep 2003 at 12:12

Version of WinAmp is 2.91, skin is acAmp_XP_V21, it's on the WinAmp site, but if you can't find it I'll e-mail it to you.

I don't think anyone noticed it was a WinXP theme on a Mac OSX desktop :rolleyes:

The program I use is Called ThemeChanger for MacOSX
Its a WinXP theme (kind'of) and the icons are from the icon factory (I think)
....I'll dig up the links when I get back to work.

I've converted those icons to Windows, would like me to email them? 1.23Mb zipped :cool:

hey mrk, how do u change the picture of that default computer in System Properties ?

like u have that Mac tft monitor ...and the Dolby sound logos...

lemme know

thanx

mrk · 2 Sep 2003 at 08:53

the dolby logo is just a bitmap OEMLOGO.bmp logo, the text is OEMINFO.Ini, both files placed in ../windows/system

ro have alpha channels you must set the alpha chanel colour as

R 255
G 0
B 255

the monitor logo etc is done by using reshack to modify the sysdm.cpl file in ../system32 folder

I'll upload mine so you can just edit it to your needs using reshack.

Remember, to apply it you must replace the original one using SAFEmode, in normal mode windows will just use system file protection to revert back to the original.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robbiekhan/root/temp/sysdm.cpl

in reshack you just replace the embedded bitmap image with one of your own, in my case I founda pic of a mac monitor and resized it + added alpha channels to it and saved it in the cpl file from reshack by replacing the original
