Welcome to my first tutorial. I will be showing you how to set up sweet skins on your computer. First you need to go to http://alienware.com/intro_pages/invader.aspx
From there click on download alienguise.


Save it somewhere that you can easily remember. Once the download is complete, install it. You will need to enter your email. Once it is installed there will be an icon on your desktop that looks like this.


Or somthing like that. Double click on it and you should see this.


1st: Select wich skin you would like. As you click on them they will appear on the right side of the window.

2nd: Click apply. It will ask you if you wish to apply click yes. It may take up to 30 sec to load. You can switch them back and fourth as much as you want for free.

Thank you for reading my first tut. Let me know what you thought and if you have any questions. Thanks

Nice job, I used to use AlienGUI on my other computer, but it's specs aren't the best so using the skin took 50% CPU all the time - so I don't suggest it for slow computers.

Yes Alienguise comes with a task bar. It shows cpu usage, memory usage, local weather, and disk space.

These are nice themes. I used to use them. I got sick of my favorite one after about 6 months or so, and just went back to the normal theme… Now I'm just using a half-vista theme.

Nice themes indeed, Will consider using them due I am kinda bored to how windows XP looks as default.

Ive used this a lot before, but the themes got boring and some of the icons weren't the same as I was used to.

So I ended up deleting it.

wincustomize works well too.
and winblinds works as well but be warned all of these will suck the prosseing power right out.
