It's probably Friday in Iceland or something.

First, we must have a link to Coolmon, the program that puts system info on Windows desktops.
It has also become clear in recent weeks that a link to Corneramp, the Winamp3 skin that sits in a corner, is just as important.
Also, as per recommendation, here's a link to Style XP, which lets you use custom skins for Windows XP.

That's the good thing about open source desktops like KDE, Enlightenment, and so on: You don't need a bunch of extra stuff to have things like system info or skins. :)

That said, it's time to show off MY desktops! :D

Let's see yours!

BTW, if your desktop is in any way not safe for work or school, PLEASE say so! I have to have my pointer on the close button every time I click a desktop link because of all the unlabled NSFWOS desktops!

The only reason I try to beat everyone else is because I want to ensure a link to coolmon and a request for unsafe for work or school desktops to be labeled as such appears in the first post.

If I could be assured that such things would be done, I would be happy to be the 5th to post a desktop in another's FDT. :D

Whisler Flat (Makes XP look decent) + some of the stuff I downloaded over the last week :D



A link to StyleXP should be up there too. XP's defual UI makes me puke, but there are many nice (and native) skins for StyleXP (which basicly lets you use unsigned themes).

Linux is alright, but the iBook is too slow for my main computer. I think the 100mhz bus ones are great, but I bought mine a little too early :p

OpenBSD is my #1 choice overall. Check my sig rigs for more info (should be up to date).

How get the OS X GUI? >>

Wait...so is that OS X or is that OpenBSD :confused: >>



OS X. I only had the iBook with me, but when I saw the new OpenBSD poster I decided I needed to make a theme based on it. Since I couldnt play with blackbox I settled for messing with the gimp and editting the file with my lack of skills. :p
