Desktop X

Monday, November 17, 2003 by badblueboy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I run XP and have installed different WB skins. If I download skins (DesktopX themes)for DesktopX what will happen with WB skins? They will be just owerritten I assume! How can I go back to WB later?
What is with DesktopX icons? Where these can be found?

Can anybody give me some precise info/instructions!

Thanks in advance

Thanks! You didn't mention how I can come back to WB after I don't want to use DesktopX anymore or change from one to another (from WB to DPX or vise versa) when ever I want!

Desktop X replaces the desktop only, WB skins the windows, you can run them together without any problems.

You don't lose WindowBlinds when running DX. They're 2 completely different animals.

O.K. for expl.
I have now my winXP desktop with corresponding start menu, icons and system tray. What will happen if I apply the DesktopX skin Indemnity Armor blue DX2?
Will my existing WinXP desktop completely be transformed into Indemnity skin including the belonging icons or will my XP icons remain unchanged? What is with XP start menu? Will it also disapear. In which way the PC will can I shut down the PC in this case? Running the both systems together is O.K. Which is the way if the existing XP skin will be completely changed to come back to Win XP desktop? My system is little bit unstable in the last days so I want to be sure!
Thanks for advice!

O.K. it works this way. Thanks. Another thing. After I applyied one DX theme I got the following message: Stardock MCP not found or wrong version, systray support disabled!
I have installed new DX2 enhanced version.
On the other hand how do I import the icons taking as example the theme Indemnity Armor BlueDX2. There are side bars with icons or without. If there is empty bar I would like to import the corresponding icons! If there are icons how do I remove/import new icons?
