    yep this link should get you to it http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/902324/

    it downloads as a zipped rar file so you will need something to extract all the files from the rar once unzipped. If you don't have anything this works http://majorgeeks.com/7-Zip_d4603.html
    I ran a virus and malware scan on the initial zip file on the rar file and then on the 40+ files in the rar and all were clean(no virus no adware malware etc). Nice one isn't it, and it has about 14 different colour schemes. I'm guessing you already know how to install themes but if not 7-Zip asks where you want to extract files in rar too so extract directly to the themes folder and all works when theme is selected.

    OK 8Ball...you HAVE to give me the URL where you got the screensaver from, or I will hunt you down (since I'm not having any luck with the deer, I need to find an alternative this season :p )

    On the "Reply" page where you type your posts, scroll down and find "Manage Attachments". Click on that, click on "Browse" in the window that pops up, browse to where the picture is on your computer, then click "upload". Note that the attachment image must be smaller than 97.7 KB in size, or it won't let you upload it. Once it's uploaded, close the small window and hit Reply.

    I get bored very quickly with desktop pics, so I have Webshots changing it every hour. Got 2552 pics so far, would have more but lost a lot when reformatting my disk. The pics work also as a screensaver. I often get Dremples to work on the icons, so the the colour changes constantly. :)

    Since I'm on my laptop, I'll throw this one out there. It used to be the bridge between Biloxi and Ocean Springs, MS.

    In keeping with that theme... :D

    Hit the "PrtSc" or "PrntScrn" key on your keyboard with your desktop showing. Save the picture as something you'll remember the name of.

    *This is important* RIGHT click the picture's icon in wherever you've saved it, and choose "open with" "paint". RESIZE the picture ("image" menu, then "stretch/skew") to about 50% of what it currently is. Then SAVE AS (on the "file" menu) whatever you want to call it (I always choose the same name so I don't forget). When you reply to this thread, attach that resized picture using the "manage attachments" button and following the directions.

    Mcadam love your display. How do you get the neat sidebar?

    Basically the only way to get the sidebar is Vista RC1 or the longhorn Vista theme that has the sidebar. The XP (which is the Longhorn theme) version isn't very useful to be quite honest and isn't worth the space.

    Halo,

    You see the shading over at the bottom of the sidebar, that's what I was talking about with Vista. If you remove the sidebar, it goes away.

    Yep, its a normal occurance with the side bar sadly in that you get that glasslike shading, only using the sidebar to try out a few new gadgets that are available.

    You can however detach any of the gadgets and close the sidebar and have the gadgets look as in the piccy below, TBH I like this option as you can then move the gadgets to anywhere on your desktop. ( ps you can also see how crappy our weather is of late :( ) *note the battery gadget is not showing data as I dont have it plugged in when using mains.
