You love Windows 7 right? The awesome clean design is great, but if your looking into changing a setting, it can get confusing and just a pain sometimes. What if there was a way to have every setting available to you in one some folder? There is a way and I am going to show you have to enable this God Mode hack on Windows 7.
Posts Tagged “7”I’m a really big fan of Pidgin IM client because for me it’s open source and it works really well. But the downfall of this is that the interface isn’t that great in my opinion but I have found a way to give it a much better look and I will show you how to do this. Before we begin, make sure you have Pidgin installed and other plugins, I recommend Facebook and Musictracker plugins. Also one more thing before we start customizing is to make sure you back up this folder “C:\Program Files\Pidgin\pixmaps\pidgin” After you have done that, exit out of pidgin and lets get to customizing!
Browse to this location C:\Program Files\Pidgin\pixmaps\pidgin and the contents should be like the one in the screenshot (left). Now download these files, I edited them my self so what you will have to do is just drag and drop and replace all the files. Download You can either extract it to: C:\Program Files\Pidgin\pixmaps\pidgin or just extract the compressed file and drag and drop, either way will work. After that is complete, just run pidgin and everything should work just fine, you should have new icons and such. If all done correctly, it should look something like this, depending on your configuration If you have any problems implementing this new theme into pidgin, feel welcome to comment below and I will try to help you the best that I can.

If you want to get this Windows 7 Whopper, you will have to go to Japan to get one. This Whopper is only available for seven days only, completing this run of sevens. Microsoft is hoping for a fresh start with Windows 7, after a poor reception for Vista, the previous version of the software that runs most on the world’s personal computers. Microsoft has a reputation for quirky ad campaigns, most recently a strange series with Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld. This particular ad may leave a bad taste in your mouth, as well. After all, the company has been criticized for releasing top-heavy, bloated operating systems. A blog on the Computerworld theorizes that “this could be one of its worst promotional ideas ever.” Tags: 7, ad, Bill, burger, campaigns, gates, jerry, King, Microsoft, operating, promotional, seinfeld, systems, Vista, whopper, WindowsThe screen capture utility built into Vista didn’t make it into all versions of the OS. Here’s how to turn on if you have it how to upgrade if you don’t have it. After I wrote Vista’s Snipping Tool, I noticed when I reinstalled my computer and went to go use the Snipping Tool, it wasn’t there! On another note, If you have Windows Vista Basic, you do not have the snipping tool. Vista Basic is basically Windows XP with a pretty face, It didn’t even come with Windows aero! and many other features that are featured in other versions of vista. So if you have Vista Basic, just upgrade to Vista Home Premium, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate (Vista Ultimate is the one I use). If you want to do more comparison, check out Paul Thurrott’s SuperSite for Windows. So as long as you don’t have Vista Basic, you already have the Snipping Tool. (Choose Start, All Programs, Accessories, Snipping Tool) If you don’t see it there, it may not be activated. Which was my problem and I figured out how to activate the Snipping Tool. Go to Control Panel and Open Programs and Features (You will or may have to click Programs first). In the task pane on the left click Turn Windows features on or off. If Necessary click Continue when prompted by UAC (User Account Control).
Once you have the screen above visible, you may have to wait a few seconds for it load. Scroll through the lists of features, check the box next to Tablet PC Optional Components, and click OK. Turning on these features gives you not only the Snipping Tool, but also the Tablet PC input panel, Windows Journal and other stylus-related features.

Anyways Desperate beta testers brought down Microsoft’s Windows 7 download page yesterday for about two hours. Only Microsoft Developer Network members and TechNet members were offered keys, but Microsoft still had to make some changes to keep the site up and running. The MSDN blog said “systems are having trouble keeping up” and thanked people for their patience. The Release Candidate code will be available to the great unwashed public from 5 May. By the way, Windows 7 Server is available for testing too. Tip of the hat to Ed Bott, who reckoned the crash was caused by an SQL database falling over thanks to too many requests. The site got a week’s traffic in less than hour. (now that’s just crazy!!) It emerged yesterday that the final code is due for release in autumn 2009. Microsoft’s Windows 7 page is here.

As most of you know that Windows 7 has been released not to long ago. (October 22nd 2009; to be exact) Microsoft has partnered up with Burger King in Japan to sell what’s called a “Windows 7 Whopper” This Whopper has seven beef patties stacked that reaches 5 inches in height, this 1,000 calorie busting Windows 7 Whopper will cost around $8.55 for those that are welling to have immediate surgery for foolhardy enough to try eating one.
I know you been hearing a lot of Windows 7 and you didn’t like Vista and think that Windows 7 is going to be the same. if you thought that you are very wrong. Windows 7 is suppose to be one of Microsoft’s best operating Systems since windows 98 SE / 2000.
