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.

    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • 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.
