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 releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.
    • Ray-Tracing is the Radeon RX 9070 XT's biggest weakness. The Radeon RX 9070 XT might not be able to match in the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti in ray-tracing, but it can beat the GeForce RTX 5070, which is around the same price.
