Maybe if there was photoshop for linux or an alternative i could consider ( the gimp just doesn't cut it :P .) I've been meaning to try it out though, just not on a computer that i get atcual work done on. -Nic Newb: The windows themes do not change the folders, i guess its kind of deceptive from the screenshots, but im using a different program to do that, i just cant remember which one it is…

Everything else works fine, it is just the folders taht remain the same.
