AH!! Keep this thread alive! RAWR!!
I have recently been fooling around with 3rd party interface programs, and varieties of different Windows shells/themes.
The Windows Theme is Vista Inspirat (LE5) along with some time/date and weather widgits i use. Here is what i have settled on for the time being::

{{This screen shows the toolbars i use. The bar at the top is similar to the MacOS (the ONLY thing of the Macs i liked, lol) and the bottom has the typical Windows Task Bar...}}


{{I have both the upper toolbar and the Taskbar set to autohide, so my desktop is ultra simplistic, yet also still very functional! I'm loving the look so far...}}




Anywhoo, its a big change from my last Desktop, and i tend to go with color schemes. The last one was an electric blue theme. I guess this one is Orange/Black theme...
Cheers!

EDIT:: Nvm.

Clever, is that wallpaper made from the video-clip of a song from Fatboy Slim ?
It makes me think of it...

Batou - do yourself a favor and go get some REAL icons for your objectbar. It pains me to see such a cool desktop ruined by those glassy blue default icons. =D

EDIT* Whoa Miss Eisei, I never liked bunnies so much, but I think that might be borderline innapropriate for these forums. 0_o

Also if your desktop is going to bigger than 1024X768 please use a thumbnail for the forums so we dont stretch it out for everyone.

Heres mine. The background always makes me chuckle. Simple and mostly clutter-free. The temp images are for uploading (so my pictures folder doesn't have hundreds of random images... I just save as either temp.jpg or temp.bmp) and the text file underneath is a phpbb database backup I'm trying to move to a new forum

Actually, i started browsing for new Object bar icons... can i use any .png pic with the right resolution for the objectbar?
Or, where can i go to get some good ones? I searched a bit, but no luck so far...

no. Yahoo does not use ad-ware type software. It is created solely by Yahoo, and third parties can create/submit widgits. Anyone who downloads the Yahoo Widget Engine can use them without worry of ad popups and the like.

try em out! they are fun =P

Can you hook me up with that thing that shows the date + time? (bottom right corner) or is that a Mac thing only?
Actually thats a PC you're looking at in my screenshot. =)

uxtheme patcher, objectdock, yahoo widgets, avedesk (the clock in the corner, the large icons as well as the shadow under the taskbar), and miranda IM chat software. All the mac you can get without having a mac. lol

I'm having trouble finding that specific clock thing for avedesk can you help me out please???

Also, that Miranda IM client, does it look like how it does in your screen-shot or is there a skin or something?? - Nevermind, I see there are skins for Miranda :P However, I'm having trouble finding the skin that you're using
