Update: I've since switched to the kindly-shared "sugar lips" wallpaper, but that's what it looked like 20 minutes ago :D

Is that Trillian 5??? If so, how, when, why? :woot:

Lolwut ? :blink:

It looks really nicely done, but that's not appropriate for a .. guy.

Thanks again^^ Seems like I broke out of the generic guy stereotype :rofl:

I love that wallpaper! Care to share?

I'm not even sure where I got it, but it could have only come from 1 of 3 sites so I'll see if I can track it down.

Update: Here you go (not my original download location, but I'm not gonna argue with Google; it's the same wall) http://www.wallpaperstorm.com/wallpaper.php?photo=yellow-spikelet-wallpapers-22378

Windows 7

3RVX - Volume Control (default theme)

Remove User Picture

Remove Show Desktop Button

Remove W7 Libraries

Qs Win7 Dark Start Button

Taskbar Drop Shadow

Shine 2.0 final Visual Style

BMW E39 M5 Desert Drift Wallpaper (Can't find source on this one)

Just hid most of the system tray, system tray icons pop up in the normal Windows system tray icon area through the arrow.

No need for a clock, have one on the desk. Although may add a Binary Clock for Rainmeter, just for kicks (amazingly customizable). :p

Do need to work on the icons though... And add a little transparency to the start button.

Needless to say, I enjoy a minimalistic desktop.. ZainAdeel did an amazing job on Shine 2.0, was using his Win7 blend before the betas on Shine 2.0 came out.

It's truly amazing, I never seen something like XML before, yet I was able to customize everything I want^^

how'd you move your clock and change it like that?

The clock is simply a Rainmeter skin that I have overlayed over the taskbar and enabled "click through". Then I simply chose to hide the standard windows clock in the taskbar properties.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
