Right click on the desktop and select Properties>>Appearance>>Effects. There are two drop down menus there by default the lower one is greyed out, above it is a tick box which says "Use the following method to smooth edges on screen fonts" make sure that is selected then the drop down menu should become selectable. There select Clear Type and then click Apply.

Your screen fonts will now be antialiazed, they look darker and much better than no font smoothing.

Here\'s another one of my desktop with an open window, since I can\'t attach two file :)

This one is really compressed so the quality is bad.

Thanx nO-One, I tried it out but i don\'t like that smooth look of the fonts... It\'s ugly IMO.

Well, I did try it out the other night, while I was continuing to customize XP, and I really like it.  Thanks nO-One.

Ryu this has nothing to do with this thread, but how is Photoshop 7? Worth the money if you have 6.0?

Tell me again how to post my desktop.

And it looks like some of you guys are using skins.Can you tell me anything about them.Best places to find them,tips on installing,system requirements,anything I should look out for.I\'m using win98 and I\'ve been wanting to spruce up the overall look.

the most used program is res hacker which I use to hack my shell32.dll, to change the system icons and toolbar icons.
I use e-icons to change my mp3 icons and other program icons.
And for the programs I just make a shortcut to my desktop and change the shortcut icon. I make my own backgrounds and I use StyleXP to change Visual Styles. My current theme is called Dominion, it kinda fits my background.

Ryu is that Coco or the TomTom enviroment your using?

Worth the money?  umm.. hmm... If you really have the cash to blow on it and have 6 already, don\'t.  Buy an iPod instead for the PC.
