that first wallpaper is so tacky, sorry. there's a reason why things don't look like that.

I am dreaming about a Thinkpad skin for windowblinds. I have been dreaming for many months now, perhaps an year. But perhaps I'll wait for the T60 to arrive....or what better way to do it, than start it on the current T30 and then continue it on the T60, like father and son, so to speak, hehe.

Yes, a fast, dark skin, spatial but serious, must be done, in all honour to the rigour of the Thikpad Knights.

I have been working on something similar; still getting used to the editor though. It is about to look somethng like the BlackJapan Theme for Firefox.

Guys,

I stumbled on this thread and am in complete awe!

Awesome wallpaper.

I am particularly interested in the security boot screen
(Bios Boot Logo with owner/system stats) posted by Kenn
on page 1.

I own a T60. How do I replace my current security password
screen with the one I mentioned?

Thanks for the help.

You have to change a setting in the registry for that. You can also change the screensaver at login to the nala IBM map as well.

Thank You, sir!

Has anyone posted instructions how to do this with the T60 models
anywhere on this forum?

Let me see if I can document exactly what I did on my T43; it should be the same for a T60 since they both run Windows XP.

See; http://support.microsoft.com/default.as ... -us;314493

And

See; http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q291559/

Those are what I went from, then I learned as I went along further. :)

Also, make sure you have a good backup of the Resgistry. Changing things in the Registry is like navigating a mine field with a Model 5000 "Jackhammer" Pogo Stick. It isn't that bad if you know what you are doing since, after getting past the hex numbers, you pretty much reach a key/field area where a normal human can make sense of it. For example, if you end up in an area called "RPC Management" or another system essential area, you know you are in the wrong place. ;) :)

I assume you are using the ThinkPad or ThinkCenter active desktop from the Russian site? If that is the case, have you gotten the mail section of the wallpaper to work?

Everything works on mine except the mail (wireless, battery, hard drive space).

The Active Themes can be found at http://www.mocom.ru/Wallpapers/ibm.htm

Scroll down to the bottom and look for themes under the active wallpapers.

Sorry; I thought the black IBM map was what was being asked for.

Just one thing to note about the Active theme, if you have a default mailer set, like Thunderbird, it will keep trying to bring that mailer up.

Other than that, the Active theme is quite nice. :)

Yes, I have started working on a Thinkpad Windowblinds theme.
All white/gray on black backgrounds, especailly the green Start Button
in Windows XP was disturbing me, which went all black with a trackpoint.

... BUT this hobbyist-project got stalled half way through because of work.
The whole thing turned out to be a lot more work than estimated before.

Not very helpful, I know, but I might find enough spare time to
pick it up again during this year...

so long,
Lophiomys

Regarding the Russian site active theme...

It is an .exe install. I take it that this is a safe
file for my system?

Count me in as one looking forward to a Thinkpad
WindowBlinds theme!

Not feeling the first one. I do like the world at night picture, that is my current wallpaper.

The love one is too mushy :lol:

Now, I consider these famous First Words; there are only so many new ways you can start a conversation, and starting off like that is one of them. ;) :)

Hmmm, looking at that some more, I wonder; is that background from Perfect Blue? What a coincidence. ;) :)
