Aussiedroid 56 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Well time for me to weigh in Here is my current desktop config, running rainmeter and custom windows black transparent theme plus a few other small things. Dual screen set, hence the wide resolution. Hopefully they upload okies .. if not I will split them up. Used to use Rocketdock and Objectdock but found them a bit buggy so just rocking the standard taskbar now. Will post a couple shots: (For some reason the uploads are downscaling to a thumbnail size! - can't figure out how to post full pic so you can download at the dropbox link if you want a closer look ) https://www.dropbox.com/s/kkx71eycxnh2222/Desktop-Jan14-1.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/s/247p3rg74u56fzi/Desktop-Jan14-2.jpg Edited January 15, 2014 by Aussiedroid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3745 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) If you guys want to see some extremely wild desktop modification check out my old stopping ground: Www.pixelfuckers.org But beware, if you post a screenshot of your desktop, they are extremely critical. These guys do a lot more than rain meter. Check out "uxthemepatcher" Edited January 15, 2014 by chef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantaxp7 190 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 This past weekend I actually got a new desk, new monitor and rebuilt my workstation pc. Monoprice gives a 3 ft. cord, hence why the tower is on the desk currently and things are still a mess...work in progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaefurr 1337 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 ill more than likely roll back to the default 8 themes, ive tried 10+ custom themes made in WSB and this is what it does to MBT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The case is a Lian-Li, the form is like a micro-atx in size but will hold full atx mobo's. And I will most certainly be mimicking your desktop setup!

Aussiedroid 56 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Hey there @@shaefurr - Sorry to see u having issues, your theme looked great. Looking at you theme looks like u have a similar taste to me with the black transparent-ish look. I don't know if the work with Win8 as I use 7, but have you tried little programs that run on start called 'BlackGlassEnhanced' and 'Full Glass Explorer'? These I use with more standard all black theme and works well. Should be able to find on deviantart but can share them if u can't find. Long shot but thought I bring it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long shot but thought I bring it up Yeah I tried them, settled on system transparency for the moment, it seems it isnt the transparency thats a problem, its the themes use the classic style shell with the ugly progress bars Not a big deal just makes MBT look a bit ugly to me. I do get a bit of weird glitchy borders around the screen in MBT, ill see if a different transparency fixes that.

Aussiedroid 56 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Yeah that is strange, never seen that with Win7. Thought it might be a fancy theme or something but they must be missing 'something' so defaulting back to basic shell graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to edit a .msstyles file to change it, and numbers for the progress bar varies from theme to theme. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip, tried editing the progress bar in WSB in several places, changes in windows but not in MBT, works fine if I start a new theme from scratch, but there's no way im making a whole theme lol. Oh well ill live with it, im just being OCD over the resume bars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaefurr 1337 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Well, never got the theme to work in MBT without ugly resume bars so I rolled back to the windows 8.1 default theme, but.. I did make a matching torrent rainmeter skin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
