Post Your Desktop "Background screenshot"

I threw a pic of my desktop up the other day...this shot is my lappy:D

Figured it was necessary to post today--Just got my 24" monitor.

Am I trying to imitate OSX? No...this is just the most efficient way for me to have my desktop:

Really? Alright I'll get rid of some icons then.

Yes, Open GL must draw and render all those icons individually which of course takes up memory and small amounts of CPU cycles.

A good test would be to run 3Dmark with those icons, then clean it up and run it again and see if it raises your score a few hundred points.
 
Nice and clean - the way I like it. I've actually developed a phobia over having too many windows open at one time, so I use the minimize button a lot :D
By the way, my res is 1680x1050 :)

What OS are you running to get that bar at the top? Is it just XP with a custom theme? Also what dock is that?

Yes, it's Windows. You can move the Taskbar to the sides or the top.
Just right click on the taskbar and uncheck the "Lock Taskbar" box.

Then you can just drag it where you want.

I can't say what theme that is or which dock though. :o

Ya I knew I could move it but his start button is dope, I just hide my bar because it feels bulky and that it takes up to much room, but if I had his bar Id be happy. *envy*

Have you searched around for some themes? There are quite a lot, you just have to look in the right place for them :)

I looked around but most places require downloading there so and so "magic software" if you could recommend any websites or software I would highly appreciate it.

I would also definitely post pics so you can all feel important for helping making my desktop beautiful :]

First off you'll need to download Ux Theme Patcher 1.3 which will only have to install once, and it works forever. This enables any Visual Styles to be installed whenever you download them.

I am currently using the Glitch VS Visual Style over at deviantART.

As for my dock--that's available for download at aqua-soft.org.

You can find themes for that dock on deviantART as well.

Enjoy.
 
Just got Windows 7 64bit installed, have to say, I'm loving it so far. It's much nicer and so much faster than Vista.
