Is that windows 2000 on the frag box? (Looking at the taskbar.)

Oh, and how do you change the color of the taskbar? It's probably easy, but I don't have time to look for it at the moment.

Thats what XP looks like if you disable the Themes

And my current desktop :)


I never loaded the Themes when I installed XP Pro. I have everything with Classic Look.I also have My Favorite Theme.Theme with my fonts and settings how I like them. Makes it alot easier then going back through each setting and adjusting them. Here's a Tip to save Resources.

Open System Properties (Right Click My Comp. and Select Properties), Click on Advance Tab. Click on Settings under Performance & Select Adjust for Best Performance. You will turn off all the Eye Candy and save System Resouces.

Here's my New one for BB.

Here's my Fragbox..

Jeebus man! With all those proggies installed, I should be getting as good a ping as you!! :eek:

My next upgrade (only God knows when that'll be) will be new CPU, RAM, etc. with a lil ol' 40gig HDD... cuz all I'm gonna install on it is UT200x, WinXP Pro, Anti-Virus, Firewall and Spyware protections.

Then we'll see about ping, BAYBEE! :D

BigBlue has all the Proggies and Fragbox is pretty naked.
Paint Shop Pro
MusicMatch
Nero 6
IRC, TS, FTP and Games..

There are alot of programs but nothing runs in the background on BigBlue.

I found a desktop I'm definately happy with. Its a loading screen too :)

BC, why don't you get rid of the Desktop ICONs and put them onto your Quick Start TaskBar.
You could put all the MS Apps down there and even your Games and Graphic Apps. That way we can see more Desktop..

Nice little setup you got there. I would take a picture of my "corner", but I am too embarrassed. Suffice it to say that Taz can vouch for my messiness. :) :p

No, I refuse to believe that's a pic of Ice's computer room. It can't be. It just can't.

Ice, how can you play in a room that looks like that? Aren't you afriad of being buried alive in an avalanche? I mean, one little tremor, and that whole thing could come down on top of you!

That probably what is causing all his Shot Lag Problems "Clutter Lag". Did you notice the Scooby Doo's?? Ice has a fetish he isn't telling us about..

OK, I have actually created some Wallpaper and want to know what ya think!!

There are a few differences.
First two is white background.
Last TWo have Color Added.

I kinda like the last one.
Any Tips to improve them??

OK, let's get some things straight.

First off, that wasn't my computer room. I have no idea where Taz found that pic, but my guess would be that it is a college student's livingroom/bedroom. The dead giveaway would be that there is obviously a big backdoor to a porch/deck/outside and my room is on the second floor. I wonder if it came from that article on that one college dorm that got condemned cuz it was so messy? Also, I have MUCH MORE stuff than in that pic and my room is about a quarter of the size. :D

Secondly, Taz, I really like the first of those three different desktops that you posted. It is rocking! But, I don't know how you would ever get anything done with that one on.... :p :)
