Rainmeter /Samurize ..Google it..Also in addition of

DOCK- stardock,rocketdock
ICON- deviantart got many

most of rainmeter,or wahtsoever skin,winamp,foobar,WMP,etc2 you can find on DA

nice touch.... looking for update of the icons

dont they provide readme file inside.?.you need to extract thos winrar file first

first of all any theme file for example

the theme name is onion

so,you will probably have two file which is onion.theme and onion folder...copy those two into

C:\Windows\Resources\Themes

explorerframe.dll

ok this one a bit tricky.

you need to have take ownership.reg. you can google it or sometime it comes with the theme

one you have intalled that you will have take ownership option in your right click menu under "run as admin"

go to your C:\Windows\System32

find the original explorerframe.dll.. right click take ownership..and then rename it to explorerframebak.dll

finish..now copy that custom explorerframe.dll from your theme and paste it in the same C:\Windows\System32

restart your explorer.exe

you need to learn on applying custom theme
using dock
using rainmeter
and lurk more in deviantart

look at pinned thread..you can learn a lot from there

of course its different .... since seven have aero glass effect,you can make use of that in modding

no ,what apps u used,thats the only thing you install..in your case just install rainmeter and use any rainmeter script you like

depends on you laptop spec,ram specifically

rainmeter
dock
wallpaper

all you can find in deviantart
