'lil assistance...?
Sunday, September 2, 2001 by Chris Kovacs | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Okay, I'm new at this whole custom desktop world. I've been messing around on our family computer and adding new themes and what-not. But what I want to know is what on Earth all these programs and goodies are that can be found on this site? What exactly is DesktopX? What can all these programs be used with? I downloaded a Windows Media Player skin (I think it was a skin), but I have no idea how to change the existing skin to the one I downloaded. I'm going to be buying my own computer within the next month or so, and I want it to look impressive, so whatever assistance anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.
