Too many icons on the desky. Doesn't the widget bar take care of your needs for choosing the apps? Try to clean up your desktop, it'll look better

i like it that way.i like it with many icons

right now im looking for MAC cursor then my xp will look completely like mac

i have also changed the login screen

alsiladka · 24-02-2008, 10:53 AM

Why have you kept the same applications on the desktop as well as the launchbar?
Does not make any sense!! If you want it like Mac then use the launch bar and keep the desktop clean.

gxsaurav · 24-02-2008, 11:09 AM

Take some reference from this.

SunnyChahal · 24-02-2008, 06:33 PM

@gx loolks nice!!!
i Use Vista cursor coz Mac OSX cursor sux!!!
any other things that i can improve on??

infra_red_dude · 24-02-2008, 08:11 PM

1) You could find an updated theme (the close/min/max button etc. are not Leopard's but from Tiger's era).

2) Change the shortcut symbol to arrow. What you haf now is the icon for Public folder!

Nice Desktop, btw

But looks cluttered!

Third Eye · 24-02-2008, 08:29 PM

You can use Leopard Mods on XP if you want to make your desktop looks like Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard.

1.IMO this theme looks cool!!
2.how??
Any other areas i can improve on?

infra_red_dude · 24-02-2008, 09:29 PM

1) The theme looks cool. But since you are using a Leopard wallpaper and dock, I suggested you to go in for leopard based theme. No hard and fast rule as such

Check out the buttons on the link by third eye. You will observe shinier buttons.

2) If you use Iconpackager/tweaker then you can manually select an icon for shortcut.

Arial Font looks boring, change it to something like Trebuchet MS or Calibri.
