You remember those old flip-style clocks? Those clocks are still pretty popular today, maybe it’s because of it’s simplicity and coolness, I know I like them. If you don’t want one next to your bed, you could get one thats your screen saver. Thats what my screen saver is, a flip-style clock and flips just like a real one. Where can you get this one might say, well you can download it for Windows or Mac and it’s free! Theres no silly ads on the screen saver anything along that nature. You can download the Flip-Style Clock Screen Saver at 9031.com You know what, i’ll give you the direct link to the download if your too lazy to browse to it, here you go When you click on the floppy disc (what’s a floppy disc?) theres a small menu that appears and you can choose to download it for Windows or Mac or also view the screen shot.
Read MoreI’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.
