	Windows 95/98 Icons You're not a kid anymore, so why is your desktop cluttered with cartoons? Give your Windows color schemes and Themes a designer's touch with my original icon libraries. Graphic previews.
	Kinemorphic - Not yet online, but coming soon! Psychedelic and Kinemorphic 3D are mesmerizing, option-filled screen savers that permit you to create and modify your own saver modules. These creations are easy to share with others, so here are some of mine. Graphic previews.
	Shih Dao Brighten up your Shih Dao games with these original boards and tiles. Graphic previews.
	Kye Here are 12 new levels I've designed for the Kye v.2.0 arcade puzzle if you're looking for some new challenges to conquer. Graphic previews.

	Varian's Dreamfonts Can anyone have too many fonts? I was especially interested in fonts that were proportioned appropriately for use on the web and after much fruitless searching, I began making my own, so here are my original TrueType fonts, including a special section of Yesfonts. Graphic previews.

Recommended Freeware Utilities & Toys Here's a brief listing of some of my favorite utilities and toys for Windows developed by talented and resourceful persons around the net. These files have made life with Win95 a lot easier, more pleasing, more fun to use and I don't know what I'd do without them. To top it off, each of these items is free!

	Invisible! Eliminate the flat background that shows behind your Win95 desktop icon captions with Invisible!, a freeware utility from UtilMind which also lets you set your caption color.
	Font Lister 2.0 This handy item lets you see all your fonts, whether installed or not. View a sample of them with your own text or see all the characters of each font.
	Sheep Screen Mate This toy is outrageously fun! If you need some company on the desktop, stick this little item into your StartUp menu. It's even more fun if you stick it in there twice! Right-click your sheep to reach the options.
	STLights Ever wish your computer had that "busy computing" appearance you see in the movies? With this amusing little toy by Patrick Dugan, now it can!
	Discover I don't understand why Microsoft thought the busy taskbar in Windows should mope along the bottom of the screen. I like to look upward to find menus and programs, so I keep my bar at the top. Unfortunately, due to MS's default setting, many programs (such as MS Wordpad) will open beneath the taskbar. A little fix is needed to force those programs to recognize the taskbar's position, and Discover does just that.
	Wright TinyExplorer One of the first modifications I made to Windows95 was to bring a shortcut for Explorer into the Start menu for easy reach. This task tray utility does the job even cleaner, providing one-click access. Also check out their TinyTray DOS prompt.
	NoStart Maybe it was helpful to have "Start" marked when we were brand new to Win95, but we think we've got the idea now and that word "Start" takes up toolbar space that could be used for other things. This little utility gives you back that wasted screen estate.
	WinMag Directory Printer Have you ever needed a hard copy listing of the contents of your drive or parts of it? Of course you have, and you've gone on a merry chase through DOS to accomplish this elemental feat that Windows seems to think is unnecessary. This program solves the problem, adding the feature Microsoft should have included long ago.
	Look@Me Share your desktop with a friend using this free program from Farallon. Easy to use and fun to play with.
