WB: OS X Tiger

Rainmeter: HUD.Vision

Desktop Icons: iVista Reflective Icons for IconPackager

Can't remember the details about the RocketDock icons, but they're cool!

Wall: Twisted Stripe 4 from DA by welshdragon, modded with a mini-collage of my beautiful geek girlfriend, Jennifer, using Desktop TakeOver.

he has more icons than the default 2 so it's just a matter of trying to get it right...a lot of times.

I didn't understand your post... I was asking how he shortened the distance between the last quicklaunch icon and the first app, without having the 2 white arrows that windows places...

Right click taskbar then click unlock, left click on the ribbed dots next to quick launch, drag to desired point, then right click taskbar and hit lock taskbar.

Yeah, thanks for replying... i know that, but my question is another... look at this image:

Explanations about the numbers:

Number 1 - The image I want to apply in my SO

Number 2 - My SO, aligned to show that in my SO the distance is larger than his

Number 3 - My SO, after unlocking the taskbar

Number 4 - My SO, after moving only 1 pixel to the left

The 2 head of arrows appears, and I can't reproduce the small size in #1

Please let me know I you guys didn't understand my explanations... english isn't my native language :(

Windows xp obviously

The wallpaper is on DA, called colorpicker or something like that

The media player is just windows media player with a theme that I messed round with till I got what I wanted.

The browser is the shiny new Web2.0 browser from google: Google Chrome - The first browser sporting a full-featured porno surfin' mode! So far it's pretty good. Hopefully they come up with add-ons like firefox has.

The clock and stuff is just google desktop, coz well, I liked the desktop search thingy, and I haven't noticed any performance drops yet.

credit goes to Long Zheng (istartedsomething) who created and shared on his site his hilarious 'I'm a Mac, and we're the PCs' picture. I simply enhanced it and made it 1920x1200 friendly.

PS I own a PowerBook as well, but thought the message was quite cute (and it doesnt demean Macintosh in anyway.)

    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
