I figured, why not?
I figured out of boredom I would show my computer addons and crap, I currently have a custom desktop layout that is indeed awesome, but how did I get it is a good question? Yes it is, it's more simple than it would seem.

Here is a step by step way to make a custom desktop for your computer:

1. You'll need a program to install these desktops: a great website for any kind of desktop is Stardock Media.

-To be more precise you'll want to download and install Windows Blinds on your computer.

2. Once you have Windows Blinds installed procede to finding a good site to download some skins. here are some:
-My favorite site by far for Windows Skins is Windows Customize
- Another good site is Lotsofskins and if you want to find even more skins Here is a great site for finding any kind of skins, even WMP ones.

3.Installing: This is most likely the easiest part of the process depending on what kind of skin you have
-lots of skins come in different formats, some are already put into a file that just need the click of a mouse to create, others are a little bit harder such as file types, these take a bit more effort, some come in WBA files which are easier to access than you think, just find the WBA file and double click it, simple as that it installs itself and bam you have your skin. Others however take much more effort and you shouldn't really bother with unless you know a decent amount of info about your computer, these files don't have a WBA and have to be manually installed in their right folders, you can do this by accessing your computer files but it will take much more time and the downside is it will be permanent unless you install a different skin.

That is all I can really tell you about custom Windows skins on personal experience.
