Made my own WinXP RC1 screenshots

[AMB]

My Screenies!

Check them out!

 

[Sugadaddy]

nice, I'm using the same wallpaper and theme...

 

[erikiksaz]

wait, so winxp has windowblinds-like functions built in?

 

[Blayze]

must try XP.

anyone know when RC1 will be available for the preview people?

 

[Noriaki]

<< wait, so winxp has windowblinds-like functions built in? >>

Yes, but it's much better integrated, so it doesn't hurt stability like WindowBlinds does, and it doesn't use all that much extra RAM or CPU speed. About a 15MB idle ram use difference between WinXP (some beta I had 3 months ago) and Win2k. And it wasn't all that much speed difference either.

And you can disable it if it does hurt your performance to much.


I like the Metallic theme as well, though I'd find a better wallpaper.

PS: This should be in the OS forum

AMB,

Which Build of WinXP are you running? I'm on a 2502 Pro.

 

[Sugadaddy]

RC1 is build 2505...

 

[AMB]

Yes, it is 2505 Pro!

Hmm, I may use a better wallpaper

 

[MrBond]

Ack! I don't like that new taskbar, please tell me thats a theme and not the default look

 

[zippy]

What is windows-blinds?

 

[DARRIN]

Looks pretty cool.

 

[erikiksaz]

window blinds is kind of a windows makeover app. that's the best i can describe it. try heading over to windowblinds.com, maybe they have a couple screenies for you.

 

[zippy]

Ummmm...windowblinds.com is something about actual blinds for actual windows.

AMD, mind if I use your HTML source ? I have a few of my own that I would like to show off (I am using the BLUE theme)

The default theme is what you see in the pics, but in blue instead of grey. You can still use the old windows look, which is like win2K...

 

[Ender78]

That blue theme quickly grows on ya.

WindowsBlinds link

 

[AMB]

What HTML source Ender78 ?

I like the new theme, especially in the silver look.

 

[AMB]

Well, you can do if you want to, but it only took me 5 mins in FrontPage to do!

I am sure you could make something just as good

 

[Noriaki]

zippy, I think it's stardock.com for Microsoft-Windows blinds

 

[Ender78]

Here are my screenshots, using the &quot;Blue&quot; theme, thnks to AMB for the pilfered HTML code

I`m really more exicted by XP then Win2000,if gaming is stable then WinXP here I come.

 

[AMB]

Half Life, Flight Sim, Train Sim, Midtown Madness 2 and Colin McRae Rally 2 work for me so far.

 

[pulpp]

those are great man, thanks

 

[Joyride]

From what I hear XP is really stable as of RC1 and very good looking IMHO

Time to microwave my WinME and Win 98/Se copies and order XP
