As I'm stuck with winsucks and would like to have a sleek desktop like u guys, I was wandering if there's something like karamba or gdesklets for winsucks. Thanx. And please don't flame me, I'm not guilty ;)
:eek:

Thanx for the info! I checked their site, but I was wandering if it won't slow my comp down as I only have 128 mb of ram. Also, isn't there another app like that?
:confused:

You have win98? With win98 it shouldn't be a problem.

Just curious? How can you be stuck with Windows when Linux is Free!

Been awhile since I used WindowBlinds (something like 1.0 or 2.0) But it seem to use alot of system resources then. Might be better now.
try object dock (http://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/). its like the osx dock bar with zoom

Thanx for the info guys! I'd try object dock but I checked and its XP-only so its a no go. I'll try Object bar and I'll post back.
P.S. The reasons I'm stuck with windows are three: Games, my little bro, and my mom, to whom teaching linux would be too painfull. LoL!
:p

I just wanted to try Linux and it wiped out windows, and not my fault, and now windows doesn't want to install back on, and now I'm stuck with this Linux, and I can't do any stuff for mom and anyone, because it doesn't do basic things, and treats my printer like mud, can't do anything productive.
Is this a joke?

If you want a sleek Windows desktop, save up your pennies for more RAM and a copy of Windows XP Home Edition. Then get StyleXP, Samuarize(sp?), and DockXP.

You know what "nextbillgates", that's probably a better idea, because object bar was a BIG PILE OF BS. And that aside from bieng shareware.
I've used Linux before (even if it was mandrake) and managed to fix some problems within it, ya know, got sound and internet working, got it to read my win partition, etc. But as I said before, I'm just hoping to get a new comp at the year's end or early next year so I can Linuxize again, without having to dual-boot, which is something I hate. Thanx y'all for the help and comments! Realy Apreciate it!
:p
