IMHO the "Bleu" WB-Skin by Alexandrie goes perfectly with the BBX-Mercury stuff. So no use for all the hassle. As a side-info, there will be loads of Icons for Mac and XP in this style. http://www.mmicons.com.
Will this be part of OD ?
This guy definately doesn't know, how much work goes into things like these icons...
The big advantage is, that You can get rid of the old OS just by formatting or deleting the drive and don't have to edit the boot-manager AND both systems are on C: by default.
How about switching the boot-drives in the BIOS ? I used to do that when I installed a clean XP and wanted to keep my 2k to work on it until I was finished re-installing all the apps on XP. I disconnected the 2k drive first... And installed the new XP drive as C:
I would keep ME uninstalled. IMHO that is the worst OS Microsoft ever made...
I totally agree with the idea to only allow a rating by leaving a comment. Would be a really good solution.
The buttons are so nice. Any chance for an additional restart-button ?
Some more (mostly system-related): .INF .DRV .VXD .DAT .LOG .TMP .OCX
Oh, and more Object Desktop Icons...
No filetype request, but new office-app-icons wouldn't be bad.
Desktop X philosophy is, that it is okay to use other author's DX-objects as long as the author-info remains untouched. Of course Boxxi is right about the wallpapers and other stuff... I have a theme that will remain unreleased because I never could reach the author of the icons I used in there...

I experienced this with the first version of Olympic OS skin in WB, downloading it again, deleting the old one and reinstall helped me.
Sounds like You downloaded the patch and not the full install.
Hey, thanks ! Will try it.
Does anybody know such a proggie ? It should show the caller-id for example on an isdn-line...
Dawn (Gillon) has done a nice IP icon https://www.wincustomize.com/comments.asp?SkinID=113&Lib=18 and Paul (Mormegil) did one for DX https://www.wincustomize.com/comments.asp?SkinID=83&Lib=18 Hopefully more soon ?
Has anyone seen a complete set yet ?
So it came as it should come... There is a intense ripping of MMIcons going on in the Neowin boards. Permission ? No...
Noticed that, too. Most of them go to the adress I use to subscribe to skin sites... And that's also the one, where most of the viruses try to arrive...
And that is a big point, I think. I don't mind for the mac-pc war at all, as I don't mind who is driving what car or whatever...
Hmmm, this becomes a general discussion about ripping. Again, that was not my point. OS-ports are one aspect, but I spoke of original artwork by mac-artists that is converted without any permission. Although some ports are really good and enhanced with more sizes (and much work) others are simple iconshop-converts quickly thrown into a zip-file. I have received many requests to give away the converted MM-Icons via e-mail, but I will not do that as long as Mikkel Madsen (the original author) does
If Your idea really was not inspired by my screenshot I apologize for that. But : The conversion to png is a matter of permission to me, too. My main point was not this special case but another one... (see subject). If You take a look look at devart's winicon-section You perhaps will understand my rant.
I personally think, that 75 percent of those Mac to XP icon-conversions are done and uploaded without permission... Does anybody else feel bad about that ? I'm still waiting for a certain permission just to see that someone else takes my idea from a screenshot and uploads part of it. (Just a side-note...)
The folder-icons can be found here : http://www.mmicons.com/ and have to be ported to win-icons. I did some modifications for my own use then.
