Snow or Leaves falling on desktop?

$
0
0
Does anybody know how to make snow or leaves (a custom picture would be best) falling on the desktop?  I do not want to make an animated wallpaper or a screensaver.  Ideally, the snow would be falling over each window while I am working on the computer.  Screensavers do not allow the background to change while the snow is falling and animated wallpapers stay in the background.  I would like it in the foreground.  Please Help!

How do I remove transparency of drop down menu using SkinStudio?

$

Hi, I am using the 'Acrylic 7' skin in WindowBlinds, which is perfect except for the way that it makes drop down menu commands and menu bar titles grey, instead of black, presumably because it is making the whole menu semi-transparent. Is there a way to change this using SkinStudio? I looked and looked but couldn't work out if it was possible or not.

 For me, this is really sad. I'd tune in every weekend to hear the boys from Boston talk cars, humor, "the puzzla", etc.They were so funny. Tom had Alzheimer's disease...and sadly, it took him. At it's high point, 4 million would tune in...and it was NPR's most popular entertainment program for years...on 600 stations.In a statement posted on Car Talk's website, Ray Magliozzi affectionately teased his late brother, who was 12 years his senior: "Turns out he was...

Takes up 25% cpu

Deskscapes 3 works fine on my windows 7 ultimate system.

However when I try to use deskscapes 8.2 every time I open explorer it adds 25% cpu load to the explorer process. If I run two instances of explorer it takes 50%, 3 = 75% etc. The moment I uninstall deskscapes it all returns to normal.

Even if I disable deskscapes without uninstalling I still have the problem.

Electric wire made of 4 stranded DNA–computer breakthrough.

A team of Israeli scientists (Prof. Danny Porath, along with Prof. Alexander Kotlyar) have engineered a huge development. This is 4 stranded DNA along which an electric charge can be passed. This was published in Nature Nanotechnology this week.

This will pave the way for molecular computers which will be smaller, more sophisticated and cheaper. The four-stranded DNA can conduct up to more than 100 picoamperes of electricity up to more than 100 nanometers, 10 times further than ...

I haven't bought Fences yet, still in trial, but I'm getting this error message occasionally: "Fences has detected that its integrity has been compromised. There may be a problem with your Fences installation. It is recommended that you uninstall and reinstall Fences."

I have uninstalled and reinstalled once already... is this something I will continue to run into? Also, when I do have to uninstall and reinstall, is there a way to save my Fence configurations so I don't have to bu...

I'm attempting to "fix" a set of packages created to created prior to the current Win8-centric version. One question I need answered to proceed: in older versions of IP, each of icon packages installed resulted in a folder by the same name within a theme folder of the installation of IP. Where does the current version of IP keep such files?

So my dock looks identical to OS X Mountain lion (have my mac laptop to compare) however the reflections on the mountain lion dock are heavily blurred, is there a command line that can be added to the .ini settings file for the theme? and/or would it be possible to implement this as a general feature of ObjectDock?

Icon Packager won't restore Windows default icons

I just installed both Window Blinds 8 and Icon Packager 5.10 as part of my new Object Desktop subscription. Icon packages apply fine, but when I try to restore the "Windows Default" package, it only restores the desktop icons. Other icons in Windows Explorer remain unchanged. It will apply other packages just fine, too. Just won't restore to Windows Default for some reason. I'm on Windows 8.1.

Thinking About My Next Gaming PC Build

My current main/gaming PC rig is over 5 years old.  While it still runs most games at a decent rate, I’m having to adjust the setting lower and with that comes with less quality visuals.  With Windows 10 coming next year, I figure now would be a good time to start thinking about what to build.  After doing some research I decided I’m going to go with a smaller system, so something like Mini-ITX/MicroATX build.

After looking at a bunch of cases, I’ve narrowed it down to the Co...
