Ok, an old hat idea, but the old thread was too rancid to use again, and I felt like reviving it still. So fresh and new - here we go.
My laptop background (and as this will give away when combined with my sig, I like my Firefly gals :D):

Here's my desktop wallpaper, and this is the obvious selection:

I know it's just a screenshot from a game, but the imagery in it is just so awesome to pass up. Stars on one side, blackness on the other. And Illusive "Martin Sheen" Man is awesome.

My desktop is like me... Messy, but surrounded with cool stuff. Plus: BC2. Badass, no?

Yes I am that tidy haha. (Although I do have a dock on auto-hide per screen)
Debating the move to OSX on a separate hard drive, mainly to get a feel for kexts and the way the OS works. Would need to buy a new HDD though =/.
Vox i am on vista.....
i tried 7 again a few weeks ago and whenever it tried to play flash or a hd video it locked up the whole pc and crashed without error.... i onyl noticed AFTER abotu 10 hours of looking at hacks n tweaks. i got the sidebar on 7, downgraded to WMP11 and managed to make the taskbar a bit less gay...
Also i re formatted to 7 to check i hadnt broken it and jsut isntalled drivers and nothign esle and it still happened.
So yeah.... vista...
Also nice background vox, tho with a space inbetween screens i wudnt have thoguht it looked so nice =/
I know you're on Vista, as am I for the same reasons as you haha (Taskbar issues that is). I meant it looks like your taskbars "fall off" at the ends and the windows open in the taskbar look slightly different, so wondered if it's a theme.
Thanks, and yeah it does look a bit off but its not to bad, unfortunately the main building with angles sits right in the center so you can notice it, if the image was shifted left a bit more then it would be on straight lines and perfect haha. Will take a pic tomorrow. Although I seem to sort of "phase out" the bezels and forget they're even there.
the theme im on is one the the included themes with vista eternity edition (a custom distro based on ultimate)
Ahh, fair enough.
7 Works fine for me, you guys just can't use it right.
@VoX: Do you have all the taskbar windows in the middle of your taskbar? If so, can I ask how you did that? My method of making folders to push them into the middle seems to be a little buggy.
More like we can actually use Vista and 7 is a worthless upgrade not worth the hassle? Seriously £50 or so (student discount) and a lot of hassle for a taskbar that would just be set back to how it essentially is now and a folder and menu system that annoys me? No thanks. And before you say try it I have, I have a dual boot of Windows Server 2008 R2 (the server edition of Win7) converted to be a workstation and it just doesn't feel right. Plus I put Win7 on the hexcore build and, yes it was better than the Workstation version, but it still wasn't "home" for me. Only thing that I might get Win7 for is if I get an SSD that supports TRIM or if I end up wanting to run an ATI and an nvidia card at the same time (unlikely).
I don't it's called dual monitors :p. Thats the system tray which is the bottom right of the first screen, so in the middle of the overall screenage. Not sure if there is a way though, google might help. A dock with windows set to minimize to that would probably do it, but the start menu docklets don't tend to work on x64 windows.
I already have all my menu stuff in the middle, it's just that it occasionally thinks "It's been set to be invisible, so he doesn't actually need it" and turns it off, leaving it all to go back to default.

Whoever spots the funny gets the files to do it :P.
VH - How do you get the taskbar icons centered btw?
I WANT SAD KEANU ON MY TASKBAR!
Looks like you got the theme working, might try one out myself. Was it hard in the end?
Sad Keanu is sad :(Quote:

Theme wasn't that hard, found a few utilities that made things a lot easier, replacing explorer.exe for the start button had to be done by hand though, but that was quite easy. Still a few things are a bit off, but a lot better than standard Win7 imo.
If you want I can do it all at i40 for you?
No thanks :).Quote:

Another update, another desktop featuring Queen Awesomeness, although this time I've switched everything to the right side. You may be able to see the next couple desktops on the right as well, including a nice little Kaley Cuoco one.

Mine is the default Windows 7 one, not really worth posting.
