Tempted to delve back into the fun world of custom windows themes. Willing to go a lot of different directions with the looks, but that's not my concern. What I'm worried about is how the themes will eff with my apps. I know the last time I did something like this (a comp or two ago) it screwed with XSI and didnt seem to like the fact I run a dualscreen setup that occassionally is changed to a single-monitor setup.

So.. what do you guys recommend?

Neowin Multi-patcher should do the trick.

I sent Hawken a pretty lengthy PM on this last week but it seems I can't access it. Hopefully he'll stop by and paste it here.

oooh! that Neowin Multi-patcher is nice! been looking for somethign along those lines for ages [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

THe Neowin patche is the best out htere, but I do recommend you also instal then uninstall StyleXP from TGTsoft FIRST -that's the easiest way to get a bunch of test themse onto your PC.

The forums at Neowin are also the best place to get quality themes. DeviantArt.com has great stuff too.

woohoo. this replaced windowblinds. no more screen nagging me to pay them everytime I start up. Now I just need to find something to replace iconpackager

thanks guys!
