Now I am guessing that this is under Windows Vista,because only Vista has nice transparency like that. But if it is available for Windows XP, please, please send me a link to it or something, because my desktop is looking kinda boring right now.

Also, what program are you using to theme your desktop? Before you answer, have you ever tried litestep? Do a google search for litestep. I, personally prefer it as it replaces everything. It does not run explorer as shell, it runs itself as shell. You can customize anything, including the right click menu on the desktop.

Also, @michaelper22: You can get many desktop themes that have that kind of transparency. In fact, you can even get vista themes.

    we'll last wekend i read this article on webware about yahoo zimbra, which i think is on beta 3,
    since i always wanted to have yahoo mail on my computer so i decided to try it out. it gives access
    to Yahoo (free version too) Gmail, AOL, but it has no access to Hotmail. to start with it was pretty
    slow, it took it's time to download the mails and getting started, but once you get to it, it
    works pretty well. also, you can import and export contacts( which worked great for) and calalender

    Konqueror, or want to use a file manager other than Dolphin and Windows' file manager? Install
    Konqueror. There are many other packages to install, just go through the list of packages for what
    you want to install. The programs, i think, take on the theme of the operating system, so those

    to be installed. Here is my situation : I only use this PC to browse internet, download files,
    using P2P software, play games and other activity that doesn't require internet. I never use
    wireless internet, my PC is not linked to another PC (workgroup). Do I really need Windows Update at

  9. Get Parallels To Use Existing Windows Xp Installation

    Hi all, I am running a Mac and I have a Windows XP home edition already installed on another

    using the existing installation via boot camp, it is asking me to provide a cd key to activate XP. I
    couldn't possibly provide a cd key as I already used it to activate. How can I get Parallels to

    all changed: Microsoft has canceled Aurora, and the company is moving the Longhorn media player to
    XP. Now code-named Polaris, WMP 11 will be a major release. There's just one problem: Instead of
    shipping in November, as per the original plan, WMP 11 will now ship in a public beta during that
    month, coinciding with Longhorn Beta 2. The final release is roughly scheduled for ear....
