I found a few pretty cool windows vista hacks

I stumbled upon this website today that has a few really cool UI hacks for vista. I wrote about it on my site: http://pctipguys.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=44&Itemid=1
I like the thumbnail viewer enlarger the best, but the 3d user picture is pretty neat as well. What do you guys think?

 

Good Stuff, thanks for sharing

 

I always wondered how i could get that thumbnail to be bigger..so it can kind of be like a PIP, but for a computer! thanks

 

Thanks man, i think i'll try out enlarging my thumbnails but i think i'll leave my start menu image alone.

 

has anyone experienced any problems with this?

 

With what in particular...the website?

 

I think he's referring to the actual hacks flamenko.

 

Actually, shhhh but I may steal one or two. Check out Star Updater...surprised me there was a free/no gimic program for updating everything.

The only thing I really dont like is it doesnt check all the siftware as it cant find all the sites.

 

Actually there is another program for updating everything that i found on dls. I can pm you the info's, and website if you want. I didn't like it that much, but mainly because i update all my software manually.

 

Thanks... I really like the 3d user picture. It worked great and there is little or no performance impact.

 

No problem guys, im glad you like my find

 

What i meant by problems is freezes and bsods....i recently got a new thinkpad with turbo memory and was inundated with multiple bsod's and freezes and finally managed to get it stable..i dont want to do anything else to mess it up...do you guys think this may cause that sort of problem? Thanks

 

the programs didn't mess up my laptop, but you never know. if you are extremely worried about it, i wouldn't bother.

 

The 3D user icon causes my explorer.exe to stop working every now and then and I could never make the icon 3D during the times the two programs would play nice.

 

Well i'm downloading glass toasts and thumbnail re-sizer. I hope it doesn't cause any problems. =\

 

let us know how smoothly it goes please. thanks

 

Well i installed glass toasts and it is wonderful, no effect on my processing power or ram, and i love how it looks. I've decided to leave out thumbnail re-sizer though, it seems unnecessary to me.

 

what program is the glass toasts? all i could find was the 3d user icon and thumbnail enlarger

 

well...the 3d user icon managed to crash explorer so it had to restart...so that doesn't really work

and the thumbnail resizer works beaufifully

 

That's why i decided to leave that one out. It's the first one on their website. Link. Also please delete one of your posts and just merge them because double posting isn't allowed.
