What makes you think people here wish they had OSX? Just curious.

Because that's what it looks like to me? You know, an observation...

For myself I prefer having my taskbar on top since using Ubuntu and other Linux distros. I also enjoy using RocketDock because I have a ton of shortcuts that would just clutter the main taskbar and would look terrible if I had all those icons on the desktop itself. I really don't care about OSX, but I'll admit that their dock implementation isn't bad (which RocketDock obviously borrows from).

I used to like having it at the top too, even back on win95, but I always found too many applications couldn't deal with that and would open up with the top bar hidden under the taskbar, some still do it now which is a pain. But yes, I like the taskbar/superbar at the top. :)

Looking at your screenshot again, yeah, you like your shortcuts :), but as you say, rocketdock obviously borrows from OSX, so therefore the connection is going to be made.

This is my Primary display desktop, my secondary display is 4:3 and has a couple of gadgets running (Sticky Notes and Calendar)

I have a slideshow of desktop backings, all with a yellow gold colour theme, with a Taupe colour for my Glass

    • As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
    • Well, they (LibreOffice/The Document Foundation) are bitchy and whiny, yes, but they're right, at least this time. It doesn't make sense to market something as "free and open source to thwart dependency on foreign companies' software" but at the same time, using the format of said companies (Microsoft) by default. That way, you are changing nothing, essentially, you're just using another UI. I'm not saying they should drop other formats altogether, but they shouldn't default to the thing they're trying to run away from in the first place. If you're gonna do something, just go all the way in, don't stop in the middle, IMO.
    • Words cannot express how much garbage this app is.

    • I'm surprised they haven't found a way to fix that. As much as I don't like software wasting memory, a file manager is the kind of thing that makes sense to keep running in active memory for super-fast recall. I suspect that is why MS makes their File Explorer part of the main explorer.exe shell, so that it is guaranteed to always be running.
