Is there an easy way to change the colour of the Windows Explorer background? I want it to be grey rather than white. Also, how can I edit a custom theme? I found a theme I really like, but I really don't like the close/minimise/maximise buttons and I really want to replace them with some from another theme.

I can't believe I just found this topic. I'll be building a new Win 7 or 8 computer within the year. So this will come in handy.

Here is my desktop for August this site actually has most of the images in every resolution on the market except the retina display for now. I actually pass this dam on weekend rides here in Connecticut.

I just changed it yesterday actually.


Is there a way to get rid of the tray bar or whatever it's called? I'm using Windows 7. I've got it on auto hide now, but it's pretty annoying.

I really like that. Mind sharing the sources for your Username thing (with the logoff and shutdown icons), clock, and bottom bar?

Not aimed at you specifically, but people really need to post sources. It's possible to find them with some work (TinEye, Google search with image), but people should post them.

Your source. (Which I like, a lot).
I apologize, I found the wallpaper in a fantasy-art thread on 4chan. OP never posted source.

Edit: Oh, unless you mean to just upload the picture alone. I see you found it. Here are a couple more that may be by the same artist

So I guess I'm the last person on the planet that uses the classic Windows theme? Anyone?

I was using my mom's computer the other day and I didn't even know how to get around the default Windows 7 interface. I'm just too set in my ways to change.

Even though I used the classic Windows theme for ages (my previous desktop couldn't handle Windows XP's theme lol), when Windows 7 came out I was shocked at how good the interface looked. It was really intuitive for me too.
 
Was given a S3 for work so have been tinkering a lot with differant roms the last few days. using a CyanogenMod 10 ROM at the moment.

also love maps so am using a map of the forest to the north of Oslo where i like to camp as wallpaper, think it works really well :)

Yeah they should...but people don't really change their desktops too often. I tried to get people to add their mobile homescreens as well since that is usually what they are on nowadays but there are already dedicated threads for that...

this thread is like print media, slowly dying out haha

I think for some reason (and I couldn't tell you why), but we had more posts when we did monthly verses quarterly threads.

Anyways I always try and post every month or so when I get a new wallpaper for a device I have. I tend to change my stuff up every month or so when I get bored of my current and need a change.
