in windows vista, the start menu is there a way to change the background image in that? i have seen a couple people with it in screenshots but i cant figure out how to do it or if its possible. :confused:

WindowBlinds. Torrent it, not sure if it works for vista but it's worth a shot. hundreds of skins & animations :D

My desktop(with windowblinds, yahoo widgets(clock/weather), Display Fusion(multi monitor organizer), ultramon (Extends the task bar to the 2nd monitor and separates the programs in which monitor the program is currently on), & Rocketdock(MAC style desktop icon organizer thanks to tame for this one).

Window blinds, yahoo widgets, display fusion, ultramon, & rocket dock. for a crisp clean pro ass desktop. Also im using XP so, donno if all these programs will work for vista.
