 | Senior Member with 160 posts. | | Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Calgary, Alberta Experience: Beginner | | Looking to customize my boring XP I was wondering if anyone was aware of any sites that I can download some cool windows modes. You know cursors, screensavers, icons, all sorts of neat things. Every time I ave ever downloaded things I liked from the web I always get a load of spyware and have to go through all the steps of removing that. We've all been there, so I figure someone on this site must know a place or places where I and anyone else who reads this thread can download some neat modes. If there is a site that may not be approriate to post on here please private message me, but if I get a bunch of spyware, I'll come looking for you  joking.

and you may want to check out 'Sphere XP'. its a really new program that's in development, but i like using it just to mess around. its neat. it would be cool if one day 360 desktops were a standard...TONS OF ROOM. | | Junior Member with 10 posts. | | Join Date: Jul 2004 Experience: Depends on the Question |
