Awesome, thanks for that. Im so happy to have a different theme on my xp box. +rep

No problem man.

Also, you might look into the Zune Theme themes. That may sound funny, but some people have skinned the theme to have different colors. Want black and purple? They have it. Blue? Yep, it's there.

Here's a link to the DA page. I haven't used it myself, but they look very nice.

Thanks, ill bookmark that link for future reference.

Edit: are the modded zune skins based on the revised version? I read some where that the first version had some bugs so microsoft put out a second.

I thought they meant the skins were revised from a previous version, but if it was an error on Microsoft, then the version you have is probably the latest so I wouldn't worry about it.

Here's my new desktop.

Here is one of mine. I had to shrink down the image because it's 2048x1536 (yikes!) It actually looks a bit more purple on every screen but the machine it runs on, go figure. Click on the link under it for the full image if you'd like (56K BEWARE!):

To see it full (not 56K friendly approx 2.7M): http://www.xmail.net/bigfoot/screenshot-20071402a.jpg
You may have to hit enter in the URL box as the server does not allow you to link to images outside their own server

And just for the people who care: it's running Gentoo Linux with Fluxbox for the WM. Gkrellm is running there on the right side, gnome-alsamixer on the bottom, a few Eterms, and Totem streaming an online radio station on the top left (LiquidFM - techno trance if you're really interested)
The translucencies work pretty well too

EDIT: What the heck so long as we are at it, here are the other two:

(56K beware) full 1600x1200:http://www.xmail.net/bigfoot/screens...v20071402a.jpg

(56K beware) full 1280x800:http://www.xmail.net/bigfoot/screens...h20071402a.jpg

all are running Gentoo Linux with Fluxbox for the WM as stated before. And if you couldn't tell, I have a strange fascination with space

Looks really good. I like the purple look. But then again, its one of my favorite colors. Every time i see something like this, it just makes me want to try linux to see if i can get it to look this beautiful. Im just so used to seeing old outdated looking graphics on most linux machines. Very gorgeous, nice setup.

In all honesty, it's very easy to get a cool looking desktop on Linux. Most of my friends here at the CS department here at school just use the default setup that comes with most distributions and leave it at that, maybe because they haven't figured out how to do anything different to it.
http://www.lynucs.org/ has some really cool Linux desktop setups at it.

Thanks for the compliment by the way
