Where and when did you download the theme from? This is very important as I accidentally released a logon screen that was bugged (so sorry) but it was only out for like a couple of hours before I fixed it. To fix the problem, you must restore the backup ntoskrnl.exe file by replacing it with...

Heh, I'm no professional, and I wish I was able to make toolbars like those, but I lack the knowledge of the code that builds them. Certainly I'll look into them, but I don't garuntee any results. I'm thinking of a clock with a lambda symbol background, with a cool highlighting on my present...

I'm not preordering until I'm sure I'll get the special edition. I'd much rather have that.

I hope the manipulator doesn't run on any kind of ammo or energy, it'd be a great way of conserving ammo (which always seems to be so low in the movies). I hated in half life 1 when you had to resort to the damn crowbar all the time. Well, the second I aquire the manipulator I'm gonna use...

Well, video cameras are never disallowed at these things, and if they are, people just try extra hard to get them in. We'll see new footage for sure.

The only thing close to spyware in steam is the large disk pace it eats up downloading the HL2 videos (but you can turn that off), and the way it sometimes leaves the hl.exe running even when it isn't using it, thus eating up memory. There's nothing wrong with steam: it's not insidious...

Well, the displayed alyx is the old build model (note the green coat) so that one will definately not be final.

more like the antlion is the player's ally and he's not shooting to pose for a screenshot

If any site were to get the real leaked demo, they'd post screenshots to prove it. Most of the things that claim to be the leaked demo are just the 600Mb E3 video anyway.

I bet that's because you have a hacked version of Windows XP isn't it? And it wont let you upgrade via the service packs. Well you can get the java virtual machine independantly from HERE, just follow the signs. Down with microsoft! The cursor, icon and sound pack are hopefully soon to...

Booyah. Worked a stupid amount of time on my one, and it shall now be my avatar for every board I visit.

Sorry, there's been a lot of hassle about getting this file up somewhere, it'll be out in good time. In the meantime, you can take a peek at the matching icon and cursor sets I've created! Icons screenshot is HERE Cursors screenshot is HERE The cursors look a tad bitty when enlarged...

You can get it from HERE right now. Azzkiker may also put it onto http://www.hl2files.com if I'm lucky!

I am using StyleBuilder, like any sane theme designer, available at TGT Software for free download. Another download on that site, StyleXP, is needed to install the theme, there is a link in the readme also. There are seperate programs for installing the logon and the boot screen, and links...

Thanks for your suggestions Totalkrusher. I thought of the bootup screen as simple but elegant myself, it gives a great feeling of reverence for the Half Life 2 symbol. I didn't make it flashy and overtacky because it doesn't need it, it looks fine when it's simple. As for the colours, I...

I've been perfecting my Half Life 2 themed desktop that I mentioned in the other thread of similar name, and I think it's about worthy of publication! To add to the completeness of the theme, I've also thrown together a Half Life 2 themed logon screen and even a boot screen! (Boot screen is...

Double pistols, just so that you can look damn cool gunning down your enemy. Too bad the CS elites are so weak, I just use them to take the piss, but a decent couple of pistols would rock. I wonder if you could make models with geat big leather flowing coats? </matrix>

Which clip would you rather come out next? 1. Barney fight 2. Buggy chase 3. Strider scene

As it happens, I had a crack at this myself a while back when I couldn't find any Half-Life 2 themes online. A screenshot of it can be found HERE Start menu is decorated with crowbar and hl2 symbol, lambda symbols on the start menu and close window buttons, orange and grey colours match the...

Depends what you want to buy. I can't afford to fork out a fortune for a great big top-o-da-line graphics card that'll be out of date in a few months, I just wanted something midrange, because they tend to be the best value in the long run. For lower/mid end, nVidia hold the torch at the...
