    So some one who recommended Vista Glazz want to tell me why in the world they recommended it? It changed my theme to windows classic, rebooted, and still doesn't work. And now whenever I go to vista personalize Rundll32 instantly crashes and I can't get it up, meaning I'm permanently stuck with this hideous windows classic theme, unless I can get Glazz to work, but considering I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it and that hasn't done anything . . . want to give me some help?
    It fucked my computer up too. Just System Restore to the first time you installed it and everything will be fixed.

    If you guys actually took the time to read what they have written on the page where you download VistaGlazz, you'd notice that there are 2 different versions of the tool; one for SP1 and one for pre-SP1.

    If you use the wrong one you will get the results you are talking about (classic theme, dialog crash on personalize etc.).
    Reading is for chumps.

    Indeed, they should have done what every sane developer does; made a pop-out book with instructions.

    It's yet another one of these non-free wallpapers so I can't really do that (at least not in public), but the website where it's from is cgwallpapers and this is the artists deviantart page.

    Uploaded a copy of it to my server here: Download link.

    As for getting rid of the start menu, you can use Start Killer for that job.

    Awesome man thanks!

    EDIT: Wait it doesn't work for vista, and it seems the developer hasn't come out with a vista version yet. That sucks, I tried to install anyways and it moves programs on the start bar over but the start button remains

    Hey, I'm using the new Ubuntu beta.

    When they first announced this new theme, I was suspicious, but now that I've gotten a chance to use it, I think it looks really snazzy.

    There's my new desktop after all my tinkering, still trying to to get rid of that start button. I'm happy though right now

    EDIT: oh god paint butchered the quality

    EDIT 2 : Does anyone remember the desktop where it was a giant trifoce from Legend of Zelda, in the centre of the screen and it was segmented into different colors and the poster showed by selecting a piece of the trifroce it would open the internet or my computer and stuff like that? That was pretty awesome...wish I knew how he did it

    I thought he just made icons by copying from the clean desktop, then moved them to the place they were supposed to be?

    When he clicked on the icon though it didnt highlight it though just opened up, like you can turn of the one click open thing but then underlines the icon.

    You really feel it on the eee, though. On my desktop I don't mind my web browser caching some big SQLite database to keep my bar sufficiently awesome but on an SSD and an Intel Atom, it's a performance hit you can really feel.

    Not really, yet. I'm trying to find a good e-mail client. Thunderbird is kind of archaic, hasn't been updated in forever, and doesn't really blend with the rest of the desktop, especially with the calendar extension. Evolution (which I'm using now) is very nice but a little heavy and slow. Claws doesn't play well with gmail and IMAP. etc.

    My only suggestion is to make sure that your 22" is set as the primary monitor. In any case, most apps should 'remember' the position they closed at last and will reopen there, so try closing it on the 22".

    (I'm assuming you're on a Windows machine. I the window manager in Linux will sort out window positioning for you, but I have no concrete info on that)

    Yeah I figured it out. Basically with FF3 if you close it on the 2nd monitor you have to move it over to the 1st monitor and then close it out there, but you have to make sure NOT to maximize it in the 1st monitor before you close it. FF3 for some reason doesn't recognize the 1st monitor position when its maximized after being closes in the 2nd, really weird.
