mine is windows XP made to look like windows 2000 with the default gray

i quit trying to customize stuff once i got into IT... if my desktop looks like everyone else's, i don't get questions and it is easier for screenshots when explaining how to do something

Where's the best place to get the high-quality PNG icons for YZdock (or whatever toolbar that is)?

I got a new laptop recently. I decided to name it "Voyager", and create an appropriate wallpaper for it.

Desktop (110k)
Wallpaper (34k)

I made it with a program called Celestia, with the appropriate Star Trek add-on. But they had Voyager orbiting Vega, near a Borg cube, so I changed the "StarTrek Voyager.ssc" file to the following:
"Star Trek Voyager" "Sol/Saturn"
{
Class "spacecraft"
Mesh "USSVoyager.3ds"
Radius 0.24 #estimate of the length of Voyager (about 800 ft)
EllipticalOrbit {
Period 0.6
SemiMajorAxis 135500 #positions it in the rings
MeanLongitude 1000.0000
Inclination 2 # Puts it away from the rings sometimes.
}

RotationOffset 90 # parallel to the rings.
Orientation [90 1 0 0]
Albedo 1.00
}
