| You can add any progams/files you want right to a CD or dvd, and open it just like it were a folder on your other PC... Though I would recommend using a flash drive if you have one.. (they are pretty cheap online to), its faster and considerably more re-writable, and virtually all computers have a USB |

Update: with user-image implemented
2 issues:
1. Don't know how to align user image to the left side of the second column (so for now its just 'aligned' to the current width of my menu)
2. Having issue with the user-image mask (to make the user image round) |

I dont, this is by design IMO, its not hard to add 1% opacity to a button. and this way you can still have easy access to the win X menu by right clicking the corner, and the CSM context by clicking on the button itself

I would agree with you, except on fringe cases.. (256 mb of ram on a windows xp machine for example.. where even the use of a desktop background can make a difference...)
but his question was 'any RAM at all?" which the leads me to believe this may be one of those fringe cases. |
