My desktop as of last night

I have the UXTheme.dll patch installed.
The theme is called Watercolor by Binary.
I got my icons at Foood's Icons.
My little sticky note program is called Stickies. I made a simple custom skin for it. Just save the bitmap to your Stickies install folder. The skin only changes the title bar and the buttons. You'll have to set transparency and background color yourself.
The background picture is Lady Bug V2 by Liquisoft. He has some really nice minimalist, pastel-ish background images.

Oh yeah. The Winamp skin is Teknision Ice.

Nope. I used a program linked on Foood's site called Icon Phile. It's not as good but it lets you quickly change a bunch of icons by importing or individually setting them. When you're done, you can save everything to a single file. I didn't try Icon Packager because I thought the shareware was really crippled, but I guess I was wrong. I'll give it a try. Thanks.

The icons on the bottom are unbearable.

My Desktop


LOL you gotta be kiding, hideous? Its awesome, heh i like it thats all that matters.

Your desktop on the other hand...AHHHHHHH :Q:disgust:

how can you live with all those icons!?

lol.. I guess i'm not into spiffing my desktop up because I'm never looking at my desktop, all my windows are always full screen. Most of that sh!t is just put there by default, I never bother to mess with it.

well i don't see how you can comment on his desktop w/ one looking the way yours does.


mine

Ewww... I don't like those icons at the bottom... I mean the icons themselves aren't ugly, that's not what I meant.. I just don't like that layout. I like my normal taskbar, thankyouvery much.

I like nice and simple. I don't need a wallpaper, I'm never looking at my desktop anyway. I do admit that putting system information on your desktop is kinda cool, though.
