Customizing your PC


Lets see, How do I start this, well first of all theres many different ways to make your PC cool. Such as changing the icons, background, skin, or sounds, or even all of them. One website calls when you change the whole thing a 'theme', good word. But another calls it a 'suite', another good word. The first website is way easier to use but only has themes, so if your gonna change it, you change the whole thing. Themes are pretty cool, and they have many according to your Taste. That first 'theme' website http://www.topthemes.com is a pretty self explanatory site so this is where I stop explaining about topthemes.com. But they have thousands because they are only dedicated to themes, wincustomize (next site) has all kinds of stuff.

The second website is a little different but they have everything. I used to use a 'Suite' which comes with a background, mouse, toolbar icons, regular and folder icons, and a whole bucnh of other icons and a skin. This website is called http://www.wincustomize.com. If you want a suite keep reading, if you dont, read the next paragraph. First of all, download Theme Manager (I dont know why they call their downloads suites but their program theme manager, should be suite manager) from the website http://www.stardock.com/products/thememanager/. Then at wincustomize, on the left sidebar click on 'suites' then browse through their 200+ suites and when you find the one you want just click download and then the rest is pretty self-explanatory.

Now for the people who didn't want suites. If you already did the steps above and got a suite, then dont read this, this is the section for downloading specific things such as icon packages, only skins, or mouse pointers, etc. If you want only a skin download windowblinds from http://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/. Then on the left hand panel select 'windowblinds' and then browse through their 3,000+ blinds! Remember , blinds are only skins. If you only want to change your icons download iconpackager from http://www.stardock.com/products/iconpackager/. Then browse through their 600+ icon packages! And if you want anything else such as boot logon screens, cursors, or widgets its pretty much the same thing just when you click on them on the gallery description it will give you an option to download it. Enjoy! If you have any problems or question/queries just email me at th3blogzone@yahoo.com, happy to answer any emails.

EDIT: There are now much more programs to edit computer interface. I still vote Wincustomize the best though, check out there site.

Here is an example of a really cool iconset for your computer.
