Can you guess the OS? See how smart you are!

I voted linux then realized it was Windows because of AIM. I'm pretty sure there isn't another AIM client that has those f***ing ads and shyte. Or, does the client look the same for other OSes? I've used linux a little and all the clients I tried look nothing like that.

[edit]
ps, I edited out the ads and other useless menus and such from my AIM
[/edit]

yup, I also voted windblows because of AIM...last time I used AIM on a mac it looked TOTALLY different.

I voted for Linux


Just a feeling :)

And David, why does my XP not look like that? What is it?

If you read my full post, you'd realize that my comment was directed at linuxdude, not the OP.

all this trouble to make xp look like macOS. just buy a mac.

Actually you don't need WindowBlinds or any other lame shareware program. WindowsXP has inbuild theme support. All you need to do is either generate a valid checksum for your theme (so XP recognizes it as a "proper Microsoft theme"), or get a hacked ui-dll (so that stupid theme manager shuts up and displays all your themes as it is supposed to do).
Then you can use one of those countless native XP themes available on the net.

ThemeXP.org is a good source, although they claim you need their theming tool to use their visual styles ("themes"). Can't really blame them for trying to make money with an application nobody really needs. Still a lot better than trying to make money with stuff nobody *wants* ;)

Anyways, my information might be a bit outdated. I haven't booted Windows for a while now.....

I think you forgot to put on your flame-retardant suit. :p

How did you know. It is (of course) gentoo linux with fluxbox

How did I know? Because I'm running the exact same setup. :p I'll post a screenie when I get home.

You're running the regular AIM client on the ugliest goddamned looking setup I've ever seen. It HAS to be windows. If you're going to make your computer look like ugly and try to confuse people at the same time, at least use GAIM. It might be too pretty for you, though.

it's not my comp, it is my friends comp. my comp is running the normal WinXP setup.

wowser, this is cool that i never seen it before. thanks for the tips :D

ps : but da objectdock is still beta test, is it reliable anyway?
