desktop

So I've been looking around for stuff to make my desktop look slighty more interesting, as I used to have the performance maximum theme with grey bars and stuff...

So this is what I have atm:





Stuff I used:
Maverick for Windows(ubuntu taskbar and stuff)
Windows 7 Start Orb Changer (start menu button ubuntu logo)
Windows 7 Navigation Buttons Customizer (next/previous buttons in explorer)
DMZ Cursor Pack by Jimmac (black ubuntu cursors)
BadClock for Rainmeter (clock in the centre bottom screen)
Stardock Fences (the grey bars holding the programs)

If there are any people more experienced with Rainmeter/Samurize, I'm looking for a nice music player plugin that works with Foobar2000. I've seen some but they don't fit the style I'm using.

I also thought about including a RocketDock/ObjectDock but after the fences were done I didn't have any programs left to put in the dock so :D.

Share your desktop and give tips or trick to improve others!

ps: if someone wants the links for the themes/programs I used, feel free to ask

Waarom installeer je niet gewoon ubuntu..
als ik wist hoe, zou ik t doen :D
Parent
download ubuntu iso
burn op cd
reboot
ga naar bios en zet cd drive als first boot option
save en reboot


of installeer gewoon wubi
Parent
ik kan niet in de bios ;)
Parent
moederbord batterij eruit trekken
meestal is het bios wachtwoord opgeslagen in geheugen dat altijd spanning nodigt heeft om te onthouden
Parent
nee me scherm doet t niet en hij detecteerd me aparte scherm niet voor ik in de bios kom :D
Parent
fucking simpel. je kan ook wubi proberen als je het gewoon wilt testen, hiermee kan je linux gewoon onder windows installeren

maar als je niet eens begrijpt hoe je het installeert zou ik er als ik jou was niet aan beginnen, aangezien je dan je OS ook niet zou begrijpen xd

Got a black desktop, I have never understood why some people pimp it, who even looks at it?
Indeed, I have like 12315 shit open at the same time, would take me ages to minimize them all to see my desktop :|
Parent
Yes I know that but for some unknown reason what only wizard knows I dont use it when I want to go to my desktop.

Now when im thinking I never even want to go to desktop

+1

I actually got some a7x background atm but I never cared about it at all, if you watch your desktop a lot you're probably bored and should find smth else to do than sitting behind ur pc :D
Parent

I used to have a fully pimped Rainmeter/rocketdock/fences desktop now I have a black backround full with Icons way faster, who cares about beaty I mean I only look 1% of the time at my background.
same here, i just now have a row of shortcuts i hardly ever use, ctrl+scrolled to be as small as possible

in kubuntu, i simply have two panels, one (top) for taskbar, the other (side, right) for program shortcuts :)

I don't notice any remarkable difference in speed on my PC (but I have a solid setup and all my programs are assigned seperatly to cores).

As I said, I used to have black background with just some icons and grey taskbars etc. But I had that for 3 years and I got bored of it so I decided to make it look nice. Partly out of a boring day and partly as I wanted to 'pimp' it up abit
Parent
I'm not doing this since the lack of ram/cpu power just because it's more effecient :P
Parent
pwned?
