Luke: Ugly theme. Too much contrast in the toolbars.
Mine.
SaltyCrak: He's using windowblinds, which is an application who lets you use different WinXP skins. I've got the patched UXtheme one.

Simple desktop, simple theme. XPMC is great for workflow.
Nice Stalker wallpaper there ZL.

very buggy, eats memory, and can leak to instability when minimizing, opening, programs due to tranparency!

It's the perfect system. General applications on the left, games on the right.. QTKradient and Hammer switch sides occasionally, depending on what i'm installing or un-installing
Now imagine if i didn't have those toolbars.
now THAT would be clutter

@ RabidMonkey: You have Generals Zero Hour: W00t, I thought I was the only one who played that game.I usually play it with some friends every night.
edit: I would really like to pimp my desktop (Get away from this shitty theme). I would really like something like RabidMonkeys (On winXP) anyone know how I can?
Mine's just a shell hack I got off DeviantArt. The author's in my DW somewhere if you really want something of his.

Hunter, best background ever.I was searching for some swimming pool pics for help designing a map (now deleted) and i came across the pic of the pool... Well, i don't know about you, but the first thing that i thought of when i saw the pic was that it needed a giant vegitable falling into the water.

Lovely Induztry skin for Winamp. Pardon the various model skins which popped up overnight :F
I don't think fancier UI's look all that better, imo. At least, they distract me from my work.

An assortment of custom Windows styles to choose from.

The simplicity of Rabid's and Dajuppi's works because they have enough shortcuts and look different enough from the ordinary XP scheme. Yours is almost totally bare.

1. Download and install the patched UXTheme.dll
2. Place windows skins in WINDOWSResourcesThemes (typically C:windowsresourcesthemes).
3. Activate the theme from the desktop properties.

Mmm, tree. I would have expected your desktop to be something more like... I don't know.. a cat or something obnoxious. It looks very artistic and open to interpretation.

Ptsh! you guys use skins that look 'cool' but are clunky and fat, or have walpers cluttered with Icons and toolbars.

Hmm, I'm not sure how to take that 'obnoxious' remark
But I only really have this "obnoxious" cat av, if that is where you coin the term obnoxious, because I got it when I was younger, and now people recognise me by the yellow giggling cat.

This thread's strange. Marveling at other people's desktops. Hehe.
Anyway, here's mine + my winamp:
No fancy themes, no super-high screen resolutions, no XPs. But still windows.
