I don't know where to begin looking for this stuff though. The system info stuff, the "Mac Menu" at the bottom center, where to get all this stuff? I wanta be cool too!

Finally got around to updating mine, still doing a bit of tweaking with my samurize config but here it is for now.

My Desktop

Will probably theme my start menu as it's still pretty plain, although I use ObjectDock more than it for starting programs now anyways.

With Start Menu

What did you use to set that up?
I didn't change much...just used Style XP 2.0 with
the advance4[xp]/3 theme found here.
For the meters, I made an extremely simple config
using Samurize.

In fact, for the Samurize, I used none of my own
graphix...just the primitives that come with it.

BTW, my Samurize config is a joke to what it's capable
of. Highly recommended!;)

RabidVWM supports dual monitors, might want to look into themes using it--but I don't know the specifics, not having 2 monitors :)
