CoverSutraXP
CoverSutra visual style for Windows XP
The style is slightly modified so I hope that you all will like it!
Latest update: I was finished technically my work on shell style now, also I was added 4 variations with coversutra logo!
I presume that all those people which simply from some reason don’t like to use styles with Apple logo, will be pleased now!
CONTENTS:
CoverSutra visual style:
(support 6 different color variations + 4 with new logo)
CoverSutra skin for TT (True Transparency)
CoverSutra skin for Styler buttons
CoverSutra skin for MACsearch
For windows transparency I was using Glass2K
Additional installation info:
To use this style you’ll need to patch your windows! To do that follows these links:
Windows XP – SP2
Windows XP – SP3

Finger XP
Finger XP is some sort of Finder clone. It’s not an add-on for Explorer, but a file browser on it’s own.
It’s missing lots of features yet, such as:
Drag and drop.
Create new folder.
Cut, copy and paste files.
Rename files/folders.
Delete file/folders.
Quicklook is not like that with folders and non-picture/pdf/document/video files.
Quicklook-clone should allow to play videos, etc…
Indeed quicklook should be a separate app (hey that’s a good idea!)
CoverFlow-like view should be hardware accelerated (OpenGL + P-Buffers?)
res/coverflowLoading.png should be inside Test1.exe file
Test1.exe should be FingerXP.exe instead.
Finger XP should use same process with separate threads, to open different windows (for less resource consumption).
etc…

LeopardXP Visual Styles
This is just a slightly modified LeopardXP VS supported with Leopard skin for TT (True Transparency) and skin for MAC search…
This would be probably my last Leopard style ever. I simply don’t need to make something like this, but since I was left a couple of things unfinished earlier, I was decided to fix that by making another variation.
It seems that Ati graphics are suffering from certain shell integration, because of which I was been forced to repack all shell styles separately from the style. I was discovered that latest ati drivers are handling different shell style graphics in older version of the windows and perhaps version of the windows with SP2.

1. LeopardXP visual style
2. Shell styles variations for Ati and Nvidia graphics
3. LeopardXP style for TT
4. Leopard Mac Search skin
5. Leopard Styler skin

Photobooth Clone
I found this Flash file a pretty long time ago, and it was a GREAT flash clone of Photobooth. I recently have been using it a lot, and it bugged me that every time I wanted to use this Photobooth clone, I had to open FireFox up, hope it doesnt crash (from my 20 tabs), and then finally it would work (slowly).
I decided I would implement the flash into an application, and mod a few things on the flash swf file to make it more Photobooth-like. It really isn’t much of an application, or my best coding (in fact, this is only a few lines of actual VB code), but so far it has proven itself worthy.
This application features a Flikr upload, and Facebook Upload for your convenience. You can also chose to just save the file.
PictureBooth flash SWF originally created by Karthik.

Fences
Fences is a one-of-a-kind program, allowing you to draw labeled shaded areas on your desktop, which become movable & resizable containers for your desktop icons. These groups can help bring organization and consistency to your computer’s desktop, solving the “constant mess” problem that has plagued the desktop since its inception.
Fences also helps you finally appreciate the wallpaper you have hiding behind all that clutter.
In addition to its organizing features, Fences offers a novel quick-hide feature (in-patenting-process). Double click your desktop, and all your icons will fade out. Double click again, and they’ll return

XWindows Dock v5.6
Here is the new XWindows Dock 5.6:
you should install new version to a new folder, but you can try to copy DockItems.xml.
skins have a new format, so all previous skins must be re-generated (they’re NOT compatible!)
run XWD with default skin, then look into .\Skins\Current folder for examples of new PNGs that are needed.
docklets have a new API, so all previous docklets developers will have to migrate them before they can be used again.

What’s the purpose of Mask*.png files in a skin?
They’re used for determining how to show windows reflection on the panel. If you don’t want that the dock shows relfection on some places of your skin panel, you should use 100% transparency.
You can also create reflection gradients. For that you should create gradients from white to black or from black to white. Black is used to instruct the dock where reflection should be painted, while white is where it shouldn’t.
For a better understanding of it, you should unpack some skins from .\Skins and look at what its mask*.png files look like and then see the resulting effect when running the dock.
