Make Windows XP Look Like Mac
Posted by: Sean | Posted on: March 2nd, 2009 | 3 Comments
Do you like the appearance of the mac computers however you don't currently have one, well why not make your windows XP look like Mac, i have seen many different ways of people doing this but it just seemed to take ages having to do loads of different tasks such as installing mutiple programs such as rocketdock.
There is a really easy way to do it all in one step and it is called: LeopardXP.
It is just a one click install and your pc will now look like a MAC! Above is a picture of how LeopardXP looks like on my computer. The great thing is it is absolutely free!
You can download LeopardXP here.
Wireless Keyboard And Mouse
Posted by: Sean | Posted on: March 1st, 2009 | 0 Comments
Last month i finally got around to buying a wireless keyboard & mouse, up until then i had never bought a keyboard & mouse i just used the basic one that came with the computer. I am glad i finally bought one though, they have so many extra buttons that you can customize, it really helps to increase getting things done while on the computer.
This keyboard allows you to control your media player with the few buttons along the top of the keyboard, there is also 5 customizable buttons that you get to program, this too helps speed up things, it saves having to go looking for a program in the start menu. The 5 i have mine programmed to are:
There is also buttons along the side that open up folders such as 'My Music', 'My Documents' and 'My Pictures' and also a few programs like Firefox and iTunes. Also on the mouse there is a few extra features there is two extra button's on the side of the mouse i just set these to copy and paste.
The only bad thing to do with this set is the size of the receiver, it is huge, there is no reason for it to be that big, other than that i have no problems with it.
I was surprised that Microsoft allowed you to set the media controls to control another media player other than there own 'Windows Media Player' which i hate!
