I love these types of websites! I'm trying to wean myself off of them though, because there are so many great themes that I want to download, but the other part of me says to be careful of viruses. So many themes, so little time.

Customizing Windows. Desktop And Logon Screen Imgs - The best tools/sites/images!

Lyon2
If you want to add a cool image for your desktop, visit this sites:

http://www.belchfire.net/

http://www.deviantart.com/

http://www.getskinned.org/

http://www.lighttek.com/

http://www.shellcity.net/

http://www.stardock.com/

http://www.themexp.org/

http://www.wincustomize.com/

http://www.xpthemes.com/


I Personally love the xpthemes, themexp and deviantart to download cool images for desktops, but the others are also very good.

-----------------------------------------

konfabulator

If you want to add pretty cool widgets to your desktop, there's a great free tool for it (the best) for windows and mac named konfabulator:

download:
konfabulator.com

-----------------------------------------

LogonStudio

Finally, if you want to change your windows logon screen but you don't want to work too much, there's a great tool named logonstudio, wich by the way is the best for it's purpose, wich has a pretty cool editor that can easily create, edit and change logon screens in a few clicks/seconds.

Download:
http://storage.stardock.com/files/LogonStu...unsupported.exe

This is a great program, so, go build awsome logon screen and share them on the www and/or with your friends.


Now you'll all have a pc with more style!

Thanks for the links, I'm gonna try out that Konfabulator (or however you spell it!), it looks quite useful.

Use StyleXP.

Does all of those nice things - XP Logon screen, Backgrounds, Taskbar, etc. - Just in one program.

You'll still want Konfabulator though, I reccomend it to anyone that has ever used a Mac before. Or those of us that haven't, and want a reliable 'widget' running program.

thablkpanda, the style xp and windowsblinds aren't free, but all of this stuff is.

They look cool for windows desktops however they slows down your PC alot if your don't have at least 512MB or RAM. Even with 512MB RAM, it already slowed my computer so much.

If you want speedy computer, don't make your computer look eye-candy sweet.

Also the websites have much more free art stuff, check them out.
