    This thing is awesome. You and use Widgets, change themes, icons, placement of everything, etc etc... I used it for a while and I loved it. Now I just use part of it for the awesome theme (windows blinds). They have another website, http://www.wincustomize.com/, that has thousands of themes and stuff. 1 thing is the WinCustomize website is kinda slow :P

    For me, Things like desktopx and alot of stardock stuff seemed to stop working after the shareware expires. I couldnt change anything, so i just reverted back to xp theme

    best way is to set it to windows clasic style, mak everything lighter as to immitate a mac andd then to make the icons bigger. finish off with CLEAN BACKGROUNd on thw desktop
