Customise Windows Vista...

corky20 · 02-01-09, 07:57 PM

I just formatted and reinstalled Vista on my laptop because it got infected a while a go with a virus and only got round to sorting it out today. So i'm back to basics and thought what better time to customise Vista than now. Anyone got any good tips for customising the desktop or other elements?

apart from 3rd party stuff the

Vista Aero or Dreamscene are the only two major official customizable things for vista.

try the Dreamscene - its a windows additional update
