Dang dude, I like to keep my tsr's to a minimum to save memory but you load em up like crazy! Well at least it looks pretty. I actually like the osx emulation as I really like osx so I may try that and see how much mem it eats. Notice that vista is trying as hard as it can to emulate osx?

You can get rid of windowblinds if you hack your uxtheme.dll to not care about using cert-signed styles... then you can use whatever style you want right with the native windows manager...

save some ram! :)

too fancy of desktops can slow down your machine

the only customizations i really do are arranging icons and renaming something like My Documents to something absurd

but the cool visuals that slow down your machine always look awesome
