I'm in the mood to make an Apperature Science, Black Mesa, and Umbrella Corporation themes for my laptop. Which uses Windows 7. For Each I'd like to have the following
A Wallpaper - Which I can get for myself
A Screen saver- I would like links on how to make them, for the Umbrella theme I'd like to have a 3D Umbrella Logo that rotates. I wouldn't mind modeling said logo myself. I just want to know what programs I need to make a 3D logo and then to make a screensaver of that logo rotating.
A custom Bootskin- I would like links or a program that can change Windows 7 bootskins
A custom Log on screen - Links or programs on how to change
A custom set of icons - Programs or links how to on how to create
A custom start button - program or links.


If anyone can give me links to the above it would be much appreciated. After I'm done creating them, I'll put up links so others can download. :up: I'd google all this, but I want trusted websites/programs.

For a screen saver I use one that plays AVI files, such as:

Plenty around! what I did was to convert the original FarCry background theme from BIK to AVI, it's rather big (308meg) but runs smooth as silk!!:yep:
