Mangix Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 there's a particular joke with my sig. try to find out the joke. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ::puts on his old man voice:: Son, you're playing catch up here with the 10 = 2 binary joke. Some of us have dabbled with binary way before Windoze was even thought of....... Cheers <{POST_SNAPBACK}> it's not like a lot of people here could figure out that 10 was meant in Binary and not Decimal though also, here's my new desktop.

BigBlue Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 This is mine, with 2 different color schemes. I thought a found a cool program that allows you to change the transparency of the Taskbar but you have to reset it every time the PC restarts. Does anyone know how to change the Taskbar to a black background without installing a new theme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangix Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 you have to change the theme to change the taskbar to black. alternatively, you could probably hack the theme file but that might be a little advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it and it nearly froze my computer. I would use Glass2k or.. whatever it's called :wish: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a theme with a black Taskbar and it's just what I wanted. I also finally noticed Transbar has an option to "Launch Transbar when Windows starts" which so far has been working well. Themes is messed up on my PC [WindowsXP SP2] but I finally got it to work by doubleclicking the "VistaCG.msstyles" icon in the Themes folder. Is this normal? The VistaCG theme wouldn't show up in any of the Display, Desktop, or Appearance options. This is a pic of my Display options box. Notice the two Themes tabs the second one which has Win98 themes that don't work with XP, lol. Thanks again, u da man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
