The only way to have an animated Wallpaper, is to use animated gifs, or HTML files with embedded Flash. Then after turning on active desktop, these can be set as desktop wallpapers

There's a KDE-inspired theme by Dangeruss for Hoverdesk, and I believe it's also been ported to DX or OB. And here's a handful of excellent KDE WB skins scattered around here.
There's no Polymer theme for ObjectBar I'm afraid.
The comments on the skin in questions says something about the person taking 2 skins and combining them into one (or words to that effect), so looks like Glen's skin has been used. Obviously there's the fact of XP gfx being MS copyright, but Glen did take time to arrange and layout the pieces for the Dashboard skin, and so his point is valid.

Ooh, I just found a setting in here that allows you to use alternate shells in 2K, without having to edit the registry. /me likes gpedit now
Ok, K Man rules! I didn't know about gpedit.msc, but now upon running it, I find settings to control some things in Windows that I've been wanting to change for ages. One example is the setting to remove the 'my network places' icon from my desktop. Cheers K Man!
Virtual Plastic have info on replacing it: http://www.virtualplastic.net
I knew I should have stayed in bed today.
The majority look like unauthorised ports, taken from WMP and MMJB.
I run Microangelo 5, Windowblinds and Icon Packager 2 together with no problems. I use Microangelo to set my icon fonts, text colours and icon spacing, so it loads up the 'on display' program at startup. But nope, never had any conflicts with it. What are the symptoms you're experiencing that's causing the problems?
Oh, and the adress: [email protected]
E-mailing Stardock support would be the logical suggestion, if you're having problems with one of their programs.
Treetog and DesktopX were featured in an article too. Jafo scanned it in and it's uploaded here in the screenshots section, if I recall correctly.
Underline on all content?? I only see underlines upon mouseover of links, and it doesn't decrease usability for me.
He can't sing worth a shit though.....
I can see a thread full of 'Treetog' coming on, hehe. and for my pick, well: Treetog - Attacker for WB
Most skinners work to create skins for themselves, and generally try to make time, by fitting it around other things, like their job and family life. It's generally ok if you make a very(Extrememly) polite request for a skin you'd like to see(Sometimes someone will be willing to assist), but requesting a big list of skins is fairly bad form. Best course of action is to learn to skin Zoomer for yourself. The bonus being the satisfaction you feel when you make your first skin. Also, I'm a
B3ST, if you want an XP-style start menu, ObjectBar is excellent at simulating the fucntion and look of it, and I'd highly reccomend it. Although 98 better than 2K??
If anyone really wants to understand Art, Paul Simon is the man to ask.....
I can see it now. The Romulans will soon be powering their warp drives with DesktopX.....
I've never understood the fascination with trying to define what 'art' is. Everyone has a different perspective on it. Some guy paints a beautiful abstract painting of his interpretation of the universe. Is it art? He would think so. Some other fella decides to take a crap on a plate, and sell it for 200 grand. Is it art? He would think so. Besides, during all that wasted time spent defining what it all means, think how many 'pieces of work' the 2nd guy has sold...
No offence intended, but you're not really making a lot of sense here. Icons on the desktop? If you're not seeing any on yours, then you probably have active desktop enabled and it's set to hide the icons. As for the original start menu, I assume you're using XP? If so, then I believe there's an option to go back to the classic style 98/2K start menu (Although I'd ask why you'd want to?).
I'm just looking at the subject line, 'good MSStyle skinners'. From what I've witnessed over at Neowin, surely that's a stunning example of an oxymoron....
Polymer was from Treetog and Dangeruss, working as 'The Skindicate', and Micron was indeed by Dangeruss. Treetog has been adding XP features to quite a few of his olders works lately, so perhaps an update of Polymer is planned.
