I found this in an old thread, this is exactly what i need. What programs do you think they used to accomplish such a thing? Thank you.

EDIT: Found an existing theme and edited it to my specifications, still needs more work. But here it is:

I don't know the context of the picture but could it have just been photoshopped?

Though there are a few programs that let you customize your desktop like that. I use one called Rainmeter that has a fairly large user base making new elements to use, and while I've never tried I understand its fairly simple to create your own elements as well. I don't know if you'll find exactly what you see in the picture, but there's plenty to look through over at rainmeter.deviantart.com.

I think that may be it, thank you. If it doesn't work out, i already see some themes that i may want to use.

Looking at this screen cap, I would guess it isn't real and isn't really usable in the game unfortunately..

Looks like an edited screenshot for the image, and a rainmeter skin for the date and time.

Wouldn't be too difficult to replicate.
