yeah, this ones way too old

Come on Neon, or one of the moderators, please reply /:)

Can i start a thread?

Guys!! Please can we make one? I see there are no mods assinged to this thread! Mmmm...
That means we can go on as we like! Interesting?

Why the need for a new desktop thread when you can just continue an existing one? Too many threads about the same thing can get very confusing. If you really wanted a desktop thread so bad why did this one die?

@WiKiD - Go ahead, make my day!

I've only been part of the forums for a month, so this theming thread died before i even got here. But as you can see, there's a demand for a new one. Nobody's got the time to sit and read 11 pages before they can post. Come on YODA. PLEEEAAASSSEEE!?

A good way to hide certain icons on your desktop is TweakUI from windows, you can hide recycle bin, net work places etc without having to not show your desktop

I don't understand why you feel the need to read 11 pages before posting. Just post what you want to post.

Rather say you're too lazy to read the 11 pages. You read way more than that if you combine all the other threads you post in.
Just continue with this one, there's no need for a new one when this one already works, and besides, it will only be a matter of time before the new one is 11 pages also, so what's the diffs?

Yeah, i see. Okay, I'll be sure to post desktops here.

Okay, here's a desktop i made a few months ago. I'm posting 2 pics. The first one is of the desktop at standard:



Now, i can click on any of those icons to reveal a set a apps, respective to the icon.
i.e. click on the gimp icon and all my photo editing software will shoot out the side, then i can chose what to run.

The 2 buttons on top bring out CPU and RAM usage when clicked.

Here's the second pic:



What do you guys think?

I think I hate linux desktops.
