Wow, that looks REALLY good. I wish my desktop looked like that. :\ However, there's so many programs I have to download and things to do, I'd need like a sort of step-by-step on how to do it, and an explanation of what each program does.

If anyone has any tutorial like that, please either post it here or PM me, I want my desktop to be all prettyfied. :3 -tries to find tuts on google >__>-

Ok, I'll fill you in a bit.

Objectbar - A shareware program for making your Windows taskbar look like an OS X one.

ObjectBar Skins -

Windowblinds - A shareware program which provides more options that simple visual styles. More buggy IMO, but great for OS X emulation.

RKLauncher - A dock for Windows. Pretty self-explanatory. Free too.

AveDesk/AveTunes - Yahoo! Widget engine alternative. Popular among the customization community, essential in desktop customization of any kind. AveTunes is simply a skinnable iTunes widget for AveDesk.

Miranda IM - I personally cannot stand Miranda IM but everyone else seems to love it so there you go. Have fun spending a million hours trying to get it working

Styler Toolbar - Essential also, makes your toolbar look ALOT nicer and there are plenty of OS X skins out there. Incredibly easy to use. Loads of other options included besides toolbar skinning.

iTunes Multi Plugin - Plugin which makes iTunes 7 skinnable. Only iTunes 7, not 7.1 upwards. Most likely that the developer quit, only bother with it if you don't have a new iPod or Apple TV, iPhone etc.

Didn't wanna make it TOO big and stretch the page.

Okay flai, I'm home, and I'm gonna start customizing my desktop...however, I've come to find out that most of those programs you're recommending me are programs that I have to buy :\ Are the free versions just as good as the full ones? Also, when the free trial runs out, will my desktop go back to normal or something?
