Dru, I do not have my uxtheme.dll patched, but I do have style XP installed. I usually dont' need to use it though. I usually have a windows visual style file that I just double click on. When I do that, it goes to the screen like when you right click on *** desktop and click properties. I can then set it as my visual style.

Here is what my folder looks like when I unzip your download

Ahhh, that's not "area 04". That's "area WP" from my website. Area WP is a wordpress theme I made that was sort of inspired by it.

You can get area 04 here

It's my fault for not making it clear on the website sorry!

How do I get another Object Dock on the bottom or left side of the screen?

I'm using object dock plus

Also how do I get rid of the recycle bin?

I'm sure i've done it before but can't remember now.

Dru, thank you very much for clearing things up for me. I may have just looked over things too quickly.

I don't know about object dock but you can use the tweak ui microsoft powertoy to remove the recycle bin

Messiah Khan · 3 Oct 2005 at 19:24

Or just run gpedit.msc and there should be a setting in there to disable the recycle bin on the desktop. There is also a way to add it to the explorer options menu by editing the registry, can't remember the details of how to do it now, but thats how ive got it set up and it makes it much easier to toggle it on and of when needed.

I am just starting out on this Windows Customising thing. So bear with me,

can someone elighten me as to how I go about finding extra icons for ObjectDock? I downloaded the freeware version to see how things go and started looking through the various forums at wincustomize. But am having a problem:

a) finding icons
b) working out whether I have to pay for them, or just download them

Thanks!

Try www.wincustomize.com and www.deviantart.com

I've found loads of great ones on deviantart.

Mine. Only sodding thing which has changed since my last, is the wallpaper and the Longhorn Sys Clock replacement.

Hi Sam,

Thank you for the link to deviantart, I thought they just did backgrounds\wallpapers

Searched for icons and there they all are... phew! The wincustomize site is just too damn confusing for me. So deviantart is perfect.

Finally found a theme to take HmmXP's place!! (for a while)

the shown pic is in 2 parts in a zip file so it can be used on non dual screen [if u dont have dual screen]

My wallpaper moves with the times, literally, updating every minute.
I play a couple of online games, one in particular involves a large corp made up of yanks, auzzies and europeans. The wallpaper helps me keep a grasp for the times in the different areas.
The program that creates it uses just 11mb of RAM, and I have a blank wallpaper underneath it to reduce gfx card memory usage.
