So in order to be creative, wouldn't you agree your desktop should look nice also?

I just spent a while making my windows xp actually worth looking at:


Combination of visual style with patched uxtheme, rainmeter for the widgets on the desktop and a few regexp tweaks to remove/change stuffs.

Notice drop shadows! :D

How about yours?

I have a smallish collection of 396 backgrounds cycling, so I'll provide 3, that's right ladies and gentlemen, whole three desktops for your gawking pleasure, all for the low low price of uh, hi TIGers!

Awesome robots!


Fuck imageshack for resizing.

Cool top bar transparency!


Not everything is Kojima


Start menu should autohide though.
Yes, that's puny HDD free space. All that piracy caught up to me my hard drives  Cry

A winning combination of horrible clutter and second monitor not playing nice with background image.

I actually just completely changed it earlier this week - I've never had a "light" setup before, usually everything is black or dark (also the first background in a while I didn't get from depthcore). I tried using uxtheme (and style xp) to apply this one theme I really like but it didn't work, and I hate windows classic, but the default xp themes suck too. Sad

Cool wallpaper, Xion.

Click for bigger!


Ikaruga wallpaper at the moment, with a vaguely coffee-coloured Windows theme.

I started putting everything in auto-hiding task bars...it forces me to get rid of old short-cuts.

Nice, simple and functional. I don't like the number of icons that accumulated lately. Most are pointless.

I like to keep things clutter free, I used to have a dock but I keep all the programs I need in the start bar. I also change my wallpaper every week (at least, that's what it feels like -_- )



Also, there was another thread like this but it's been buried in the ages.

Nothing fancy. My desktop is always so cluttered with icons and files that a background picture would just make everything harder to see. Sorry for all the blurring but I feel it's in my best interest to keep some things secret.

My computer sucks, so I usually just don't use the explorer program, I just navigate through task manager.

As for wallpaper...

This, which I refuse to change until The Underside comes out.
