Not much different than last month, just the center monitor. Somewhat modified version of the stock Aero, pulled all the blue bits out of the toolbars and crammed them into the shadows instead.. kind of liked that from KDE so why not. Was poking around in the Linux screenshot thread, was bored, so why not, whipped up a little program to do a similar thing, just because.

Cool! How did you do that in your terminal? Can you upload your script/how to? Thanks!

It's just a quickie little C# program (my Python is awful) that pulls info from a couple sources, much of which is already provided by the platform.. the System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter namespace for resource usage stats, queried the server service for uptime, query the registry for the shell then get the file version, etc. Think the most time spent was getting the stupid Windows logo to align properly lol. It's not ready for public usage (IE, it's spaghetti code I whipped up before I was even awake and embarrassing), I can put it somewhere later once I clean it up sure. Doesn't fit into the default console size either.. should probably have it check for that and do it top-to-bottom if it's not wide enough.

Ok. LOL! Let me know when it's all patched up. :) I'd love to have something like that.

It's been AGES since I posted in a Desktops thread... I thought it was about time!

    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

    • Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.
    • And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
