Toshiro Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 So you want a clock+date that looks like this:? Step 1:Download and Install version 0.14 of Rainmeter.Step 2:Download and Install This Skin for Rainmeter..(in the setup it will ask you to use the old icons.. Press "Yes")Step 3: For the big clock&date (just like my screen), download This and Unzipp it in the map "Skins" in the Rainmeter directory..Step 4:You can edit the looks with This (Only used it to remove the AM/PM.. give it a try ;) )Step 5:Start Rainmeter, Rightclick the taskbar Icon>> go to "Config" >> "10-Foot_HUD" >> "Clock&Date" and choose the colour :)Enjoy it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 What, does it work on XP?Rainmeter.. Samurize.. they all were created during and work on XP...I should flood you people with my collection..MANPE: HOLY :shit:.. BLUE XP TASKBAR.. ever hear of UXTheme Patcher for SP3?.. My brain just spasmed .. like jello..I haven't seen a blue taskbar in years! I would suggest you get AMANA/Four08 ( deviantart.com ) as your style and use the white version, There are quite a few good ones out there too one most recent ones too..'H.E.A.V.E.N.' also good..'Gaia09'..'PICO'...'Prod138 VS'..( I use the black one, sometimes with true transparency skin TTbrr ).. anyawy.. It would finish off your desktop/system nicely!..( and it doesn't tax your system like windows blinds.. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Heath, every single skin you suggested is ass :D Except for the PICO one, I might try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 LMAO...okaaay.. sometimes you have to apply them to really get the full effect...BUT at MINIMAL.. you wil get rid of the blue bar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Btw, what does this UXTheme Patcher do? I don't know how to use it nor how to install the skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Btw, what does this UXTheme Patcher do? I don't know how to use it nor how to install the skins.Usually the file will run and patch all by itself...you can replace the files manually but I recommend the automated patchers.. they are just easier and you don't have issues replacing the files..What UXTheme Patcher for SP3 does...is it patches or changes the .DLL file(s) that will allow you to use other themes on XP.. thats it.. and you can unpatch the system as well.. you will probably have to restart but thts just so the system will load the new file from start..There is one for basically every version of Windows.. no extra services or modifications.. Then when you get the themes you put them in your Themes folder inside C:\WINDOWS\Resources.. Usually if you have a .theme file with it .. goes in the theme folder.. then you should have a folder that will accompany it containing a .msstyles file..and some will contain an additional folder for the shellstyle which may contain several variations of the file...and usually there instructions about what to do with it.. fairly simple takes al of a few minutes to do.. but is so worth it..:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manpe Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 The PICO theme I downloaded doesn't have any .theme files or anything. Just pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 maybe you should check this link instead...http://bedroompop.deviantart.com/art/PICOvs-129238285If not I have it in archive..Also check the artist gallery for additional skins, and the links at the bottom of his description for places to find all of the extras..EDIT2: This one also has the fonts packaged that need to be dropped into your Fonts folder, you will have to restart for the fonts to be available..

HX1 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 There are a couple of ways to get a transparent taskbar..on XP..let me look and I will be back.. I have that capability but after I used it I didn't really Like it.. one of the top of my head is called Glass2K...I don't even know where to get it now.. but I have a copy of it.. will do everything.. even your windows..and taskbar..lots of settings..EDIT: Oh yeah LeeSoft ViGlance will do it along with his other programs.. and you can change the orb too..that would probably work better for the taskbar..EDIT2: Atomic Alarm Clock will do it too if you have it.. most people don't even realize the setting is there but it does it..EDIT3: In other words you won't find a theme with a transparent taskbar.. and ViGlance probably with the 7 Taskbar skin would do it..( which is also at deviantart.com ) .. LOL I start to feel like a site plugging bot...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I downloaded the ViGlance, activated it, didn't like it and then tried to change the theme. What did I get? (look at the picture)How to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Okay in your program folder .. click 'KillMe.exe'.. You should be able to kill it that way..If nothing else you can kill it in your task manager.. and because of the way it works you may want to log out of your account then log back in..
