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

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.

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.

    • Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By ThatGuyOnline · Posted

      I lived and breathed MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger. Going to the mess.be website (still online with no changes since 2013) to download display pictures etc. I was a beta tester for Messenger Plus! and spent quite a lot of time on the MsgPlus! forums (a read-only copy is still online at https://shoutbox.menthix.net) Some old Neowin articles also https://www.neowin.net/news/messenger-plus-350/ good times but how time flies

      Well i'll look into a docking station if needed and use that.    Normally i don't usually have all the drives connected at once,  usually once a month to sync the latest files, and then they go back in there storage area
