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.

Here's a link to the screenshot: SCREENSHOT
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)

Another installment of giveawayoftheday.
I check this page every day to see what is being offered. When I find something that I think someone might be interested in I'll post it here. Today is an app that puts your 'real time' desktop in a virtual setting that prevents any virus, mallware etc, from screwing things up. Any changes made, unwanted or otherwise is recorded in the virtual environment and not in 'real time'. You can save changes such as to important folders, files and such and if anything does get through a simple re-boot restores everything to what it was. Check it out.

G3mpi3 ... your image is blank and when I clicked on it it took me to Dropbox wrapped in chains with a 403 error saying i probably don't belong there.

I had it for all of one day and it screwed with FireFox just like the last one I tried. My opinion ... don't bother. Pages were timing out, loading very slowly or not at all. Now that its gone everything is back to normal.
