From looking at other ppl's desktops here I can see there are those that mod their desktops alot and those that like it the old fashion way... Maybe we can share what sort of customization programs you guys use for ur desktops...
For me I use...
Windowblinds v4 enhanced
Icon Packager
Rainlender
Sysmeter
ICQ plus
Login Studio
Cursor XP.....
