One reason why I prefer to keep my Desktop clean is Windows XP. My friend has a lot of icons on his heavy metal burzum desktop and after every start-up refreshing took quite a long time and it looked bad. Windows 98 was fast with refreshing icons, but still, then I used to have only "My Computer", "My Docs", "Network Area" and "Recycle Bin" icons on it. I find Start Menu more convenient way for launching apps and the most of my games are autoloaded from CD:s.

You appear to have Start Menu button in English. Can you use your own language for that button with Window Blinds? ...Anyways, sometimes it's good to have it in English. Some themes can make the text on it buggy, if "Start" is in your language a longer word.

Yeah, or in my case I find my start menu too cluttered aswell (it fills up the entire screen at 1280x1024) for fast access so I have custom toolbars on my taskbar to which I routinely move my shortcuts from the desktop if they start spilling over 1 column.

No... At least I can't find how... They're ready made skins you see, on some of them its a logo, alien head or just a black dot. I'd use the alien skin but I can't see the bottom bar in mozilla then, and I happen to like it there.

Oh and I did some modification, my wallpaper is now this... Otherwise its the same so I didn't bother at capturing it.

Looks interesting. How did you made icons looking like they fly?

[SCHUMI-4-EVA]

They aint flying...they are littered all over the floor. Looks pretty cool though...not boring at all...just looney.

Light was shining to my monitor,... but now I see that perfectly. Still wondering how he made it.

Just read last post that came out same time as mine. Now I got it.

[ViperXtreme]

^see my previous post

[SCHUMI-4-EVA]

Limitations of the freeware version? Nvm..I see it's under light version...I thought there were 2 different pay versions

I guess I am feeling a bit loony myself XD

Latest desktop running Xubuntu (ubuntu with xfce desktop), compiz-fusion and cairo-dock (set to auto-hide, obviously!).

Less is more

[cottonvibes]

ViperXtreme,

those designs are cool... i never thought about a 3d desktop.
i would try out the program, but i don't like my desktop to be resource heavy.
just like the vista desktop can slow down games a bit, that program probably does as well...

[strike105x]

Well this is my desktop layout wallpaper done by me :P i know its not verry good:P hope you'l like it dough

[Radix865]

I think its good enough... You could change the upper bar to green(Olive if I'm right) so it would fit for the color of your wallpaper better.

[SCHUMI-4-EVA]

Yeah it looks decent... a little ouf of focus maybe, but not bad

[strike105x]

ty for the comments its out of focus because of irfan view i used that program to scale the image from 1600X1200 witch is both the dimension of the wallpaper and my desktop resolution

[ViperXtreme]

@cottonvibes: Well, i don't use it everytime though hehe, when i just feel "looney" i enable it >.<

[SCHUMI-4-EVA]

I think my bricopack messes it up....any text is unreadable on the light version (it's all blurry and out of focus...) (and every option is locked so I can't really fiddle much)...woulda been fun for a laugh...but bah I am over it....my current desktop looks too good anyways to replace with some gimmick.
(check back a few pages if you want to see it.....I am kinda bummed no one commented on it back then...although I guess people are over anime ones for the most part)

My new desktop I hate this country (South Africa)
