    the weather gadget is a stock one. you have to drag it off of the sidebar and onto the desktop to get it to expand like that. same deal with the stock one.

    Pretty sure that's XP, in which case what did you use for the sidebar? Looks nice. :)

    Thanks for posting the wallpaper. Looks great! :cool:

    Stunning is right. Slightly suggestive too. :rolleyes:

    Nice desktop.

    Not a big fan of apple, but if anyone know there is the same wallpaper without the apple logo, please send me the link. Appreciate it.

    Cin, may I suggest you the Luna Element Theme (in Black and in Blue) for XP? I really like this on netbooks, as it makes the startmenu and the taskbar smaller, and the default luna theme looks rather non-fitting in your pic anyways.

    Here is a pic of Luna Element v5.1 Black:

    [​IMG]

    black and blue ones can be found here, with instructions on how to install. Deviant Art Search
