Cool / New Stuff
For those who customize everything
Monday, August 2, 2010 by G3mpi3 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hey Everyone,
I keep having the want to tell the community about new software or customization tricks so I'll just keep updating this post rather than starting new ones all the time.
1. New Logon Animation for Windows 7
I came across this tweak the other day and I figured it needed to be shared with the wincustomize community. ~alexandru-r-ghinea made a new version of the windows 7 logon UI. It's pretty cool, and easy to install.
Download the file in the info section (it's safe, I did it.) Then just back up the old authui.dll file in windows/system32, rename it, and replace it with the downloaded one. You can also install to C:/temp and then run the batch file, but I've heard of people having problems with this approach. There is a embedded windows flag version, and a version without a flag too. There is an animation when you log in, it's kind of interesting.
Here's the link:
You can still tweak the background with logonstudio, this just changes the logon UI. I'm using it now, and it's refreshing to see something a little different when I log on.
2. Trillian 5 beta released
Trillian 5 beta is now available for windows download. It's a multi protocol social client that is very powerful. The GUI is much improved and there are many new features. Anyone who's used trillian knows it's a great program. Try it out:
3. Senary Iconpackage by 'Arrioch
I came across this iconpackage today and it's one of the most impressive one's I've seen. 'Arrioch is a very talented artist over at DA, specializing in icon development. I got permission to give a link to the iconpackage. I strongly suggest downloading this one, it's definitely worth it.

4. You gotta try this!!! The Web Genius
So I found this "game" on gizmodo this morning and I've been trying to beat it all day! It's almost like playing against someone who's REALLY good at 20 questions. So far it's guessed Nikola Tesla, Timmy's dad from The Fairly Oddparents, Shaun white, max weinberg, steve jobs, toucan sam, Sebastian (The Little Mermaid), Myself, and Secret Squirrel!!!
Maybe I'm just not creative enough, but this is really fun. Worth a try.
Anyone else found anything cool lately? I always love finding new tweaks/tricks. 
Read on for more!!!! (Updated throughout)

Cool Stuff:
It's almost 05:06:07 08/09/10!!!!!
The magic moment may have passed already in your timezone, but for many of us 05:06:07 08/09/10 is still a few hours away. I don't think anything amazing will happen during that moment, but someone should pay attention to a clock—just in case. Also, later tonight it will be 08/09/10 11:12:13, so don't miss that moment either!! Of course, if you've miss staring at the clock during this amazing moment, don't worry! Similar things will happen again at 06:07:08 on 09/10/11, 07:08:09 on 10/11/12, 08:09:10 on 11/12/13, and 09:10:11 on 12/13/14. If you miss all of those fun little moments though, you'll be out of luck for a few years. (Short) article taken from Gizmodo.com So, whats the best way to have a one-second party?

For most of the world that is a month away....

Haha yeah, I guess we didn't agree with writing the date in a way that makes sense.......The funny thing is, I guarantee that most American's will say the rest of the world is wrong

I must be stoopid...I don't get it....
Reply #28 Tuesday, August 10, 2010 12:36 AM
Essentially only the US puts the day after the month.
The 'correct' date today is 10/08/2010, not 08/10/2010
So....Eighth of September, 2010 will be 08/09/10
A far better way [if only people would use it] is YEAR, MONTH, DAY.....20100810
Because it makes SENSE.....

Day, Month, Year vs Month, Day, Year I think is what these folks mean, but it's hard to figure out some folks at times.

I came across one of the most impressive firefox themes I've ever seen. It's very detailed and complete. 
Here's the download link:

Dl'd it and it looks cool. They have this Prayaya V3 as a give away. I never heard of such a thing. I got an eight gig scandisk. Does that mean I can put my laptop on it and stick it in my pocket and why would I want to? Good for some I guess.

Found another one. Drive Copy 10 Personal Special Edition, a perfect tool for creating a clone of your pc, including operating system, drivers and settings, all your applications and files. Might be worth checking out.

Found this while having my wake-up coffee. Now you can do all your stuff in Cyber's cyber space. As for me one virtual world is good enough.
20 hrs. 52 min. left.
Returnil System Safe 2011 uses an advanced anti-malware and virtualization technology. It clones (copies) your operating system and creates a virtual environment for your PC.
Instead of loading the native operating system, a clone is loaded that allows you to run your applications and perform your online activities in an entirely isolated environment. In this manner, your actual operating system is never affected by viruses, Trojans, malware and other malicious threats. To return to the actual operating system environment, you just need to restart your PC.
While working in the virtual environment, you have the option of saving documents and files so that your data will not be lost when the system is restarted. Read more at http://www.returnilvirtualsystem.com/returnil-system-safe
