I've used Royale Noir before, but I like the orange start button. It provides some nice contrast. I'd like to give my laptop a paintjob to match it, but not enough to find orange Krylon Fusion (I've never seen it at wallyworld, maybe Home Depot or Lowes has better variety).

When it gets cluttered I just put everything in the stuff folder to keep from having nothing but icons.

I don't know what you're thinking, but all it does is keep the key combos in the same place... it's quite useful!

THIS.

I use a dock, so while my desktop is technically cluttered, I made the desktop icons invisible so I don't need to look at that mess! Was going to upload a pic, but photobucket is being fussy.

Bah, your clutter ain't got feces on my clutter:

Image

Standard Windows icon spacing. The left monitor is 1920x1080. The right monitor is 1280x1024. The icons STILL overflow the side! :mrgreen: "Use folders!!", you say? Well, I do. There's currently 180 of them on my desktop. :lol: I don't even click any icons on the desktop but My Computer and the Recycle Bin anymore. I have a shortcut to the desktop folder in the Quick Launch bar, then sort by file type or modified date to find what I need. It works. :lol:

EMACHINES?!
:facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

EDIT: Okay, not eMachines. (They still suck though.) :lol:

Also, horribly pixelated wallpaper is horribly pixelated. At least use an image editor to blow it up so the pixels stay sharp, if you want a sprite wallpaper. Reminds me of high school when kids would use the thumbnails from Google Image Search because they couldn't load the actual images due to the school content blocker.

LOL, that's an Acer.

I'm going to post mine after I finish encoding on VirtualDUB. CPU's pegged at a 100%. (Darn, this took like 24 hours and now it's asking for 9 more hours? That's 33 hours of encoding!)
