Visual Styles FTW! Feel free to post links to your own visual Styles too, people. I'm using Reluna 3.

Using the same as Xyos.

LOL You fail. Internet explorer open, no antivirus or spyware control running (they're usually visible, I know some are hidden), cluttered desktop, standard windows xp theme.

Edit: Hell, lets make a scoreboard:
Custom Visual Style         2
Clean desktop               1
TWHL open                   1
Leet programs in the tray   1
Cool desktop image          1
Above 1024x768 res.         1
Internet Explorer          -2
Scores:
Luke - 3
Satchmo - 4
Penguinboy - custom visual style? I'll assume no, since that's a windows-made style. 2
TheGrimReafer - 1
Xyos212 - 0
Posted 17 years ago2006-10-04 13:19:19 UTC Post #198496
IS that a dash seperating the name from the score, or a minus as if to say the person loses -X points?

Ive never had a custom theme. Maybe its time to convert! :)
Posted 17 years ago2006-10-04 13:21:37 UTC Post #198497
Why in the hell would IE be a plus???
Posted 17 years ago2006-10-04 13:22:52 UTC Post #198498
It's not a minus, clearly. It's just a dash between the names and points. In retrospect, I should've used a colon... damn.

It's a thing of beauty... in my mind.
Posted 17 years ago2006-10-04 14:48:44 UTC Post #198502
Wrong ZL, mark me up 2 points... That IE shortcut was something to get me used to clicking it back with my old computer. The opera logo was awkward for me when I started using it over IE, so I just made the shortcut aim for opera, but have the same icon.

(Opera = Firefox) > IE

TheGrimReafer - 3

I R tie with luke!

Not really, I'm giving you 1 for "bigger than 1024x768". That style isn't custom, right? I thought it was some windows-addon.
Posted 17 years ago2006-10-04 15:39:02 UTC Post #198508
This one I have was a custom that was made after the windows vista. Its not official by any means =/

Or I guess it depends what kind of addon your talking about? everything you put on your computer is essentially an addon.

The hunter, Clean desktop. Those toolbars are anything but clean. Fuck me, those toolbars make the most annoying desktop I've ever seen.
Posted 17 years ago2006-10-04 17:57:34 UTC Post #198536
I agree with the toolbars thing, not a big fan.. heh

Clean is defined by the convenience of the person using it.

Thats about all you can say about it really

Mine is really clean. I have only one icon on the desktop, and two icons in the toolbar.

I start all my programs using hotkeys. Almost all the keys on my keyboard are mapped to programs.

mine and grim's are custom, they aren't ripped from vista itself, because microsoft doesnt let people. it's just made to look like vista (the minimize and mzx buttons dont look anything like vista btw), therefore custom.

not that i care, heh.
Penguinboy PenguinboyHaha, I died again!

Oh god, im too embarressed to post my desktop, you guys must have cleaned your up, my iconz are all over the place, if i released it i would become a score of something like -1243, (i have that many IE icons lol) nah joke about IE but i would end up on 0, and hey, thats better than most people. I also have a default MS background.
Posted 17 years ago2006-10-05 08:47:48 UTC Post #198577
Mine is basically the same as last month.

What's the use of having tons of .zip files on your desktop?
Posted 17 years ago2006-10-05 10:24:41 UTC Post #198592
That's.. rancid. I cba to post scores, it's tiring. Someone else do it.

I'm using it too, but I just took a still of the actual trailer instead of grbbing it from you :D . (I made it before you got the higher-quality version)

So....

Make that 3! :D
Posted 17 years ago2006-10-05 12:27:26 UTC Post #198607
Saw, that desktop is atrocious. How in the living hell do you find anything? At least use folders for the zip files, man. :

saw1833: If I were you, I'd just shift+delete the entire desktop, then put shortcuts for stuff I actually use there.
Posted 17 years ago2006-10-05 16:34:17 UTC Post #198624
oh its not as bad as it once was, one time i not only had about 3 columns of folders, but about 3 spaces left for other icons =D
Posted 17 years ago2006-10-05 17:15:13 UTC Post #198631
I ripped that background too Ant, only I greyscaled mine because it worked better.

4 DESKTOPS?!?!

I can think of three possibilities for how you`re doing that.

1 - You have 4 monitors. If you do, sa-wheeet setup man.

2 - Your running Linux. As a standard, they allow you to have multiple desktops simply by clicking a button on the taskbar.

3 - You have multiple computers set up that you use for different things.

At this time, I can't of any other possibilities or know of any proggies that let Windows have the multi desktop capacity that Linux has.

Posted 17 years ago2006-10-05 19:07:02 UTC Post #198640
Maybe he means 4 desktop wallpapers he switches between. And even if he did have 4 monitors, it would be very difficult if not impossible to make it show something else...

That is possible. Hadn't considered changing wallpapers. And I do believe that multiple displays w/ different wallpapers is possible.
