Dude, Linux is much better, 4srs.

Please Tural, I am curious about this Linux thing. The way you preach it to me makes me want to disregard everything I've grown used to over the years and try something new and different.

If you would have told me Linux was better 4srs, I would have believed you from the beginning.

Seriously though, not that I'm going to keep it like this, I generally use Windows Classic or Standard... but this is achievable without any external software or skinning packages. This is Windows XP Home edition.

Stop it. I was trying to ask him what his problems were so I could try and fix them, not preaching the word of Linus and demanding he join me in a quest to burn Bill Gates at the stake while we dance around a pile of a destroyed Windows Vista DVDs.

You're the one who won't shut up about it.

I don't even know why I come here anymore, I don't play Halo (PC/CE/Xbox) any more, haven't had a modded Xbox in ages and have no intention of modding Halo 3 any time in the next few years, but maybe that's a post better left to the rant thread.

(Also, technically, you need the patched uxtheme.dll, and the process to get it and use it is best achieved with a third party application. @iGeo: I've used that Vista conversion theme before on an XP machine. The tweaks it makes to Explorer are pretty useful.)

I have the exact same skin on my desktop. Not because I want vista, cause I don't, but because I think vista looks a lot better then XP.

I don't plan on using it, I just fancied showing what was possible without skinning software.

It makes me happy.

Also, it's possible to patch that file without software.

And Fleet, we're just playing around... don't get so offended.

If you feel like you're wasting your time here, leave. Nobody's making you stay.

Another thing that makes me happy; upcoming music festivals.

I'm interested in using this mind telling me the name of whatever you used please?

And surely all you will smoke with it is tobacco, since discussion of anything else would result in you being banned.

That was regarding the legality of the substance. No "Hey guise who her duz sum drugs?"
