I have to admit, I've been out of the game for a while now, but probably 10 or so years ago I use to mod all the icons, Windowblinds, wallpaper, RocketDock, ObjectDock, etc...  I spent hours just messing with the PC to get it to look different, then messed with it some more.  For someone like me who's been out of the game for a while,  what are some of the best current programs to use to change or mod the OS?  Is there a list, I can't see any sticky threads.

Also the only sites I remember to get these were Wincustomize, and Deviantart.  Are there any others out there now?

I've installed Rainmeter on my Windows 10 install, and it offers some neat theming options for the desktop. And for wallpapers I go to Wallhaven which has a huge and ever-increasing collection of decent wallpapers.

Aside from those, I don't really bother customising Windows. If nothing else, I'm rarely using it long enough to notice the customisations I might make. There's also the issue that various modification tools can break anytime Microsoft releases an update, so it really isn't worth the time for me.

Same. 

I haven't built custom exes to use since StyleXP... and then after that, WindowBlinds for XP. Other than some cool wallpaper changes, my desktop has been clean and bland since Windows 7.

I use linux mostly so I go to gnome look or the other pling sites to get my goodies...

 

I make my own abstract wallpapers
