For those eager to modify/alter everything they can...here's another tool for fun.... All sorts of 'tools' exist for manipulating your Windows Experience. I can't say I've used this one....[can't even remember which proggy I used to make my own custom cursors that I still always use - was a fair few years ago now]... but it looks like it's worth a 'go' ....

Last night on IRC Larry [koop] mentioned I was currently in the top 4 leading 'bloggers' on JoeUser....[I slipped...looks like 7th now]. I don't blog, though.....or at least I didn't think what I do was/is blogging.....and besides...I'm hardly ever logged into JU, anyway. But there's the rub.  All of Stardock's site-forums are linked....where certain sections/topics have relevance to more than one site.  All the interaction I do on/with Wincustomize.com's forums registers on JU a...

I'm still getting an odd/interesting selection of 'copyright-issue' walls....simply extracted from submitted [unobstructed] screenshots.  This one [the wall] was a quick crop of the taskbar and icons on the left...leaving an odd size...but a simple non-linked resize [stretch] and I had a quaint 1680x1050 wallpaper.  [even the 'distortion' wasn't an issue....looks like it was already wrong to begin with and now looks more 'right']...
