bugster Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I post my desktops on 3 other forums so may as well post here too. Icons on desktops suck ass, and with stardock fences, double click on a empty area of the desktop and all them icons disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugster Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 What're you running there? Windows XP Rocketdock with these icons. Rainmeter with this clock, the system info is a part of a skin that already comes with Rainmeter, the uptime with the red text, theres an uptime config that comes with rainmeter, I just made it slightly bigger and some of it red.

Oh ok, I never bother customising my windows installs, they slow down enough as it is. They're only ever used for gaming, and a reinstall every 6 months means it's too much trouble.

bugster Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Oh ok, I never bother customising my windows installs, they slow down enough as it is. They're only ever used for gaming, and a reinstall every 6 months means it's too much trouble. Ok yer, I'm fairly familiar with rocketdock and rainmeter, so 20 minutes or so I would be able to have it back to what I have now, I certainly couldn't live without a dock using xp, that along with stacksdocklet as in the pic below, where you create a folder, bung a load of shortcuts into it (in your case could be game shortcuts) and as in the pic below click the 'dvd' icon and up pops the other icons, very handy imo. Just in case your curious, rocketdock on my laptop is currently using 17mb of memory and rainmeter 16mb, the less you have displayed the less ram used. But I've got 3gb and think the most memory used on my laptop is only 1gb so its not a problem for me. Theres also samurize which is similar to rainmeter, its a hell of a lot easy to make up a config but it lacks anti alias so the text isn't as smooth as rainmeter. Liking your ubuntu desktop, I used a live slax cd the other day to get some data from a hd, was impressed with that, wouldn't switch me from windows though.

Maybe so, but compiz on ubuntu uses 19mb, and that gives me a full 3d desktop That ubuntu theme is actually the default for the latest version. It's worth checking out, my basic dell laptop (ok, with 4gb of RAM) boots in less than 30 seconds now that's faster than my friend's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I normally have it on the left of the right hand monitor but moved it for the above picture mainly to avoid confused responses. I got the HAL picture from HERE but will email it over to you if the filesize isn't too big. Cheers Edited June 4, 2010 by Scootmien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
