After a BSOD- and glitch-filled stint with Windows 8.1 the last two days I've switched back to 7 and updated the look.

 

One thing I never understood is why there aren't more people using a left- or right-docked taskbar. It wastes much less empty taskbar space) and gives you back your precious vertical space. Less scrolling! More lines of code!

(I really love this wallpaper.)

 

Also found a rather nice Eclipse theme (finally something less ugly!)

Figured I'd upate.  Installed Xubuntu on a computer the other day and found I really like the feel of the new XFCE.  I'd piddled around in it before but it seemed like it never had many of the features I really wanted from a full fledged desktop environment.  This new version though seems like it has every feature of Gnome 2 I ever missed after the advent of Gnome 3 and Unity.  I think I'll stick with this one for a while.

Cant figure out how to make it "cleaner"

Pin Spotify to your task bar, hide the Norton system tray icon and move the random stuff on your desktop to the documents folder... job done?

Also nice background :)

I understand.. Mine has no icons on desktop... only on the taskbar. :)

 

You can create folders on desktop.. and name them anything you like.. such as Games, Internet, etc..  so you could move the icons to the specific folder.

 

Or you can use most used icons on the taskbar and the rest in the program menu.

Shots of my Desktop and Start Screen.

 

The background image is a shot I captured with my HTC One X of a conference room where I taught an English class, weeks ago.

 

I had my Start Menu items separated and categorized but I like them all together (perhaps messy and cluttered) because it's more similar to the WP default tile arrangements. Click on the image to have a look a all the tiles from beginning to end.

    • This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day

      Looks like no official TBW rating, which should be a required listing in my opinion for sites like Amazon (hell, put it on the box too.)

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I think I understood the article fine. Online password managers open users up to more possibilities of getting hacked, and due to KeePass being offline and local it reduces the idea of getting hacked. If someone chooses to put their database online they're kinda missing the point. With regards to the idea of the on-prem idea, I would have two issues. I'm not sure about the first issue, but I wouldn't be surprised about them offering a cloud storage for the passwords that most wouldn't bother to switch off, regardless of if they went for on-prem or not. The second issue is that the on-prem solution for Bitwarden costs money, whereas KeePass is free and open-source (as far as I am aware). The article points out how to sync the database between devices, and I recognise that deficiency in security. But it isn't a necessity. So both services can offer a same idea, but one is free and the other isn't...choices, choices.... But to each their own.

    • The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      I am not surprised because life is the product of a lot of biochemical and physical processes that releases various energies as a by-product. The only thing new here is the detection of these photon emissions. The researches noted this "glow" is not a metaphysical one. They don't even immediately end when one is dead. Things like fires, light bulbs, and on a bigger scale stars release a lot more "light" and they are hardly alive.
