Post your Desktop

my desktop.

I'll have to scroll back a bit to check, but I think this is the same one I had the last time I posted here.

However, I'm going to use what LadyJ has. haha

Here is my anime-esque desktop

Can't stand desktop clutter.

Stardock fake Mac, or real Mac with some sort of modification that puts a Stardock symbol where the apple should be?

Fake mac. The dock doesn't have reflections and has an ugly divider, the menu bar says "desktop" instead of "finder", the time isn't on the right and there's no spotlight icon.

Ovbioosly

lol

It's funny, because Stardock can be configured to have all that and more.

esque? it's total anime

Yup, it's a customization. It's actually Windows Vista.

new awesomeness.

still miranda+rainmeter.

Spoiler for:

If you want details, ask.

Ya, totally going to need details.

This is on Windows 7 right?

I haven't had rice in so long it's killing me.

What programs are you using, I see fubar, what IRC? Do you, say, click #crankeye and it takes you to the chat room?

Making a new Visual Style
currently still a WIP

What programs do you use?

my layout gives me the most customization I can without bloating up the system the same way that Stardock's skinner and utilities do (Sorry, it's true.)

Miranda IM is my IM program.  I use it for AIM, MSN, and IRC all at the same time, and I make my own skins for it.

Rainmeter for when I want an on-desktop system monitor for whatever reason.  I tend to modify/make my own here too.

RocketDock extremely customizable and lightweight dock program.  I outfit it with Token Icons and my own custom skins.

TweaksLogon just to make the login screen nicer.

For the windows themselves I use a custom Visual Style (currently still WIP, lazy) with an in-memory UXTheme patcher service that I can't remember the name of anymore.

Yes, Windows 7.

You patch it yourself or autopatch.

Tried both, the autopatcher usually fucks stuff up for me tho.

I'm asking because I switched to Win7 long ago and wasn't aware it was customizable just like XP was (refer to my previous post a few pages back).

Thinking about trying out a new explorer again as a apposed to Windows, we'll see.

It was a program, works flawlessly, I can't remember it.
It doesn't actually mess with the dll files, it just provides an in-memory solution.

Here's my current desktop:

I know, It sucks.

simple and bare is good, I'm just not a fan of the icons.
there's also no point to having your rocketdock icon there, to activate the settings window just right click on any icon.  the context menu will bring you there.

I know it's crappy. But i feel confortable with this.

Why do you have an empty sidebar?

big icons anger me.

Why do you have an empty sidebar?

I normally don't have the sidebar open. Didn't even notice I had it up there. Must have opened it by an accident.

New box here.


Should probably take a screenie of the Win7 and Mac too, been awhile.
