My 100th desktop apparently, first of 2004 as well.

Theme: Bluecurve 4.0, personal Ergo (and Olive) mod

Icons: Bluecurve from Fedora Core 1

Wallpaper: Personal mod of default.png and lightwaves.png from Fedora Core 1

WMP9 taskbar skin: Personal skin to match Fedora Core 1

Start button has been replaced by Press Start and Start Killer from TrueLaunchBar. I just reshacked "pressstart.exe" to have the nice Red Fedora.

Msgina.dll hacked with custom Fedora bitmaps by moi.

Toolbar is a Yz Toolbar theme taken and turned into a shell32.dll mod, didn't really want Yz Toolbar running.

Click on the thumbnails for the full view. First desktop is a clean view, second is a view with all the goodies hanging out:

It's only Dec 31, and 10:18am here...

Now, this is my other desktop. About the only cool thing I have on it (aside from XP's silver theme) is the "Angry Robo-Kitty" as my four-year old daughter calls him. She picked him off of deviant art while I was browsing there. Not bad taste, and I like it, so here we are.

    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
