Desktops

[Brokyn]

As promised, my desktop:

http://abs.gprime.net/desktop2.JPG

It's basically the same as my laptop, save for the Litestep theme. The buttons on the bottom left are: start menu (and litestep menu, if right clicked), some random stuff, Windows Explorer, Networks (I can't get the question mark to go away, argh), Internet Explorer (and Opera, if right clicked), and Trillian.

If anyone was curious to know what the icons in my laptop's quicklaunch bar were for: show desktop, internet explorer, opera, musicmatch jukebox, trillian, journal viewer, quicknote, windows explorer, tweak xp, calculator, bearshare, kazaa lite++, semagic (woot for livejournal), [some dvd ripping program whose name I forget], dvd shrink (for taking out useless dvd stuff, like spanish subtitles and dubs), winISO, and [some program that I've suddenly forgotten].

Huzzah. A succesful and underailed thread.

This is one of my favorite. It's a combination of an XP style called Aluminum Alloy from deviantART and one of Ingalil's themes called Android Dreams. I even found a Trillian Skin to match - Luna Metallika.

I really like things that match well and use non-bright colors (excluding white). I don't like glaring red, green, blue, etc. on my screen. It's distracting to me.

As you can see, I'm always rather spartan with what I have on my desktop, but I keep all the really important things here:

and here:

NOTE: SGE is going away as soon as I get rid of the rest of my stuff...almost gone, yay me!

Other programs here:

include (but aren't limited to) such things as Family Tree Maker (I'm odd, I find genealogy fascinating), Now You're Cooking (gotta have someplace to keep my recipes), Quicken, Macromedia MX, Microsoft Office, Visual Studio, Paint Shop Pro, Kazaa Lite, Angry IP Scanner, Core FTP, WinAMP and Baldur's Gate.

However, my most used programs are Trillian, IE, Wizard/GoPlay!, MySQL and TextPad. For anyone who does any type of programming, I wholeheartedly recommend TextPad. It is awesome.

Score for Baldur's Gate.

I wish I could see why people like minimal amounts of icons on their desktops. To me, it's easier to have the most used programs there instead of within a roll-up menu. Well, at least I'm not like my dad, who likes to keep every single program on his computer shortcutted on his desktop. I honestly don't see how he can find anything.

My mom actually manages regularly to put more icons on her desktop than the desktop actually has space for.

Well, I've got the dock to take the place of icons. Icons just aren't that aesthetically pleasing.

Mine's here, but I rarely see it while doing anything other than starting/exiting a full-screen game, since I use Quick Launch for most things.

At an earlier time I also did red, blue, and green themes, but I only remembered to transfer the blue one to this computer.

While I prefer a clean desktop....I should note that my desktop rarely is....because I very rarely see it because I just never take the time to minimize things.
