Mine, with a new XP-theme freshly applied. 2 desktops, one at 1280 x 960, the second "music-monitor" at 1024 x 768.

But how do you make thumbnails then? I prefer thumbs because I can see what I am clicking...Why do they all have PHP :
Besides what's wrong with the adverts? They load fine and don't block my view...

Nice, although just running Winamp is a tremendous waste of a second monitor :(.

1. Adverts are bloody irritating. Why the hell would you intentionally spam your boardmates with them?
2. Use some initiative. Look at the code you're posting.

I use it for other purposes too. Mainly i just map on one, and IRC on the other.. or watch a movie on the second one. Every other second i'm not using it, it's my "music-monitor".

I'm guessing you only have one monitor. Buy another!

I got 3, only 2 hooked up though, to much of a hassle and to little space, though luckily this provides me with 2 backup monitors in case both fail at the same time

Hmm, well I rather like the edited version then, do you think you could host the version you have, please?

hey Strider how does your Source SDK have a cool icon, and all mine has is the Steam icon?

You can change the icons yourself, you know. Right click, properties, change icon.

just a quick question, iim running a wireless network, and i need a few of those icons in the bottom right, such as the linksys monitor and the windows netork thingamabob. but the lan icon has this huge red X on it.. its quite annoying and i cant figure out how to rid myself of it.. any ideas how to fix it or just get rid of it?

Whoa... Surely, there's no need to be running all of that all the time, Tawnos? I mean, Q-time, WinZip, ATI control panel.. it's a bit excessive.

Bottom right => idiocy.
None of those programs are any use to anyone.

I just don't bother turnin' them off anymore. see, I share this comp w/ my parents and brother. If it were up to me, most of that wouldn't be there, but just about everytime I mess w/ somethin' on here, I get bitched at, and I'm the most computer profficient person in the house.
Anyway, that won't be an issue in a couple of months when I get my own.

It's amazing how my family needs me for my assistance, yet as soon as something "goes wrong", it's automatically my fualt.

Partition != Hard-drive. I don't see your question though.

Mine is now like Striders, except I only have 1 icon, recycling bin, and that is because I can't get rid of it ;D
I don't know why, but I really like my desktop completly clear. I find it no slower really to open start and find whatever that way.
