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:

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.

    • 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

      By Kravex · Posted

      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.
