This is my primary screen. Got another one, but that one only has taskbar + start and nothing more, so no point in uploading that.

Wallpaper

- Agony (http://ig.metian.nl/85193eaa61948ae5a6130a424d51e44d.jpg)

Programs

- Rainmeter with Enigma theme

- Objectdock with Noir theme + Addictive Flavour icons (which are Ps and Dw, the others are customized by myself)

May I ask what the name of the visual style your using is?

im using Clearscreen Sharp:(transparency turned off, and color all black)

Ugh I wish I could tolerate transparent themes

Why can't you tolerate them? Especially since even the default look of Windows Vista/7 utilize transparency, and the menubar on modern macs are also transparent. It's kinda standard now.

Though, it seems you're not totally against them either... you sound like you WANT to use transparent themes, but have trouble with them? What exactly gives you trouble with using them?

no one uses winamp anymore?

Winamp is still the best player, but I cannot stand its media library; it's difficult to find what you're looking for and it's an eyesore. They really need to recode that **** into something more modern. If they released a new plugin that mimicked the Zune library or even iTunes (though coverflow is more eye candy than it is functional it's still easier to use) then I'd go back to it in a heartbeat.

Here's mine for today:

That wallpaper is awesome, can you post a link to it please? :D

Well, technically I can't, because it wasn't a wallpaper, it was a piece of art that I found on Deviantart and then blew up and cropped in Photoshop. I'll give you the link to the original though so you can do the same.

    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
