I just got backon DH- uep that's the one- it's the coolest looking VS IMO- I've used allot of them, but keep coming back to that one- it just looks cool. All the icons are just custom ones I have found and replaced. As you all figured out by now the pic is from about 40 posts up, lol..

For a few weeks I had this wallpaper with that VS, they seem to go together- everything looks kinda 3-D and shiny.. But I like the HL2 wallpaper too.

I got them from a bunch of different websites- but mainly from one-- if I could find it in my bookmarks

I have about 300 or so bookmarks-- But I'll find it- and post back.

well, I probably have closer to 1000- I have never counted- but I've saved them through about 2 years of 7 different winXP installs- subcatagory after subcategory-- I'm sure you know what I mean

But anyway- I've found them on sites like these: here
And searching through the icon packages until I find some I like- then downloading them and figuring out how to use them. I never use all of one package at a time- I like different ones for different things. Anyway- how big are the email attachments you can get? I can sent up to about 10 to 20 MB, I have a bunch of cool icons saved- I could send them to you if you have braodband. I could zip them up in 10mb files. It would save you allot of time, and my ISP just upgraded me from 70megabit upload speed to 256megabit upload, so it wouldn't take me all day long.. You would just have to download them as soon as I send them.. I don't have MSN or IRC set up- or any other P2P right now.

Oh- like this- last cobalt

I think you will recognize one of those on my desktop...

hypersnap-dx for screen shots.

BWX · Sep 27, 2003, 11:57 PM

I just used <printscreen> , then open up photoshop and hit <control + v> ,- then save it "for web" to ruduce the size. Otherwise it would be too big (in kb).

Raider1 · Sep 28, 2003, 12:26 AM

RIV@NVX · Sep 28, 2003, 12:53 AM

PoopyTheJ · Sep 28, 2003, 03:02 AM

What is the name of that VS? I couldn't get back there through that link for some reason.

Raider1 · Sep 28, 2003, 07:24 AM

BW2 found it at themexp

Raider1 · Sep 28, 2003, 07:27 AM

must be the server im hosting the picture at funny , mabey they havent posted it yet

BWX · Sep 28, 2003, 07:33 AM

I got it now- it came up- must have been their server.

Raider1 · Sep 28, 2003, 07:48 AM

Oh well still have the link at least

BWX · Sep 28, 2003, 07:49 AM

I'm using it now too- nice VS
I wonder why that link doesn't work? I think it is because you need to right click on the image- hit properties, then copy and paste the address you see in that box that popps up-

BWX · Sep 28, 2003, 07:51 AM

NOPE- doesn't work! WTF!?!? I don't understand why it won't show up- that's weird man. I would ask a mod- I'm sure they will know.

edit- It must be some kind of limitation through a firewall or something on the network you are posting that pic on, I cannot even view the source. I dunno.

Raider1 · Sep 28, 2003, 08:08 AM

Hey your advice worked on my bios hitting ctrl-f1 worked. now i can tweak my memory more and can set my agp apreture size .

BWX · Sep 28, 2003, 09:19 AM

Cool- I thought I heard that little Gigabyte trick somewhere. My last board was a Gigabyte, but It didn't have the quirk.
