Extreme Makeover - PC Edition


Tired of the boring way your computer looks, and want to update it? Well get ready to makeover your pc, and customize it the way YOU want.

Lets start at Wincustomize. Here there are a variety of ways to modify your computer. Look at wallpapers. Wallpaper is the image you see in the background of your desktop (as in the background of your computer when it is turned on.)

As you can see, these are just a few of the thousands of wallpapers to choose from. Everything from waterfalls, to spaceships, to holidays, etc. If you can think of it, you can more than likely find a wallpaper of your choosing.

Find a wallpaper you like, open it, and then right click on the wallpaper. The option for 'set as background' should be availible. Choose this, and you are done!

Now, lets move on to the Windows icons. Don't like them? Then there is a free program called IconPackager that allows you to download a new icon scheme for your system.
This is just a sampling of one icon package, and a few of its icons. Most packages come with hundreds of custom icons that change the appearance of your system.

Now, how about that cursor? Want to change it too? Well, there is another free program called CursorFX which changes your cursor as well. Here is a sample.
It's hard to tell from this picture, but all these cursors in this package are animated. It looks like moving water. Very incredible to see.

By using a few of these things, I've changed my desktop from this:
To this:
See the difference? Now you too have the tools to go out and change your desktop. It's your desktop, make it into what you want it to be.
