[click image for large version]

- WinXP SP2

- bbLean 1.16
• bbIconBox
• bbKeys
• bbLeanBar
• bbLeanSkin
• BBRecycleBin
• BBSysmonPlus

- Miranda IM

- Winamp 2.91
• Classix 10K 2.0 Deep Sea Blue KAI


those 2 "quickstart" boxes are usually on autohide and only come up when the mouse is on the proper position on the left border.

that thing on the upper right is the trash bin

bottom left "bravo" because there are 4 workspaces (alpha, bravo, charlie, delta).

It's pretty boring. I don't like lots of icons, so I try to keep them to a minimum. :P

The wallpaper is the Great Lakes freighter Manistee loading coal at the KCBX docks on the Calumet River.

The task bar from left to right is:

WeatherBug (I love that program)
The Volume :P
The remove hardware thing
Zone Alarm (Another thing I really like)
Norton AntiVirus 2004
The sound properties for my sound card.
ATI's driver control panel
InCD (For the Nero burner software)
Nvidia Firewall (disbaled; I like Zone Alarm better)
Lexmark printer software
Abit uGuru Overclocking software
The clock :P :rotfl:

Well, that's the grand tour. :P :oops: :lol:

TLAM, what's your wallpaper? Looks interesting.

I think it was when the USN was doing tests on the USS America to see the effect of different attacks on CVs.

I found it on this cool french site:

I use to switch a lot - photos that I shot and turned into "paintings" via PSP9.

For example:

That is actually the USS Theodore Roosevelt.
It is quite common to detonate a subsurface charge in the vicinity of at least one ship of every class, to check the equipment on its ability to absorb shocks.

I used to run like 3 themes per day few years back, including totally changed GUI, etc, with CPU temps and all that.

Now, I use sivler XP theme with white background. This way I don't have a 'need' to cycle them all the time and it doesn't bother me one bit.

Most of these GUI facelifts will eventually cause problems, be that with new SP release or something else.

I also gave the custom themes a try for a while but realized that the vanilla destop is much less of a hassle.

I'll take the 'girl on desktop' over 'nuke from distance' any time. Can I just ask WHY? :shifty: :doh:

agreed; the laydeeez are nice :yep: but work arn't all that keen on such things... the subject of nuclear annihilation is more accepatable - go figure... similarily, the GF dissaproves of suggestive girlys on my monitor. Can't for the life of me think why as she knows I love her to bits :sunny:
as an asside, who is that svelte young thing on your desktop anyways, Type941?

Can't show mine-I'm posting from the library. I have quite a few icons, and the wallpaper changes every day, rotating through hundreds of photos of WWI and WWII ships and planes.

Mine changes often, but currently is the same pic as my sig, with just a 'My Computer' & 'rubbish bin' icons.
