That app (putty) doesn't display its name, it instead displays the server it's connected to (incase you have loads open) :)

TinEye got me this:

I had to ask her where she got it, and then had to browse the site in order to find it. :pinch:

Thanks to the two for the effort :D

I wish I could do this with windows 7, with rocketdock or similar, cause I hate having the taskbar minimized and pop up sometimes when a new app needs your attention... also I can't find any good glass themes for rocketdock and I dunno what else is a good dock program other than that.

I don't know if you could faithfully replicate this in Win 7, I think you could get close but not identical. This is a genuine 24 inch iMac I got @ the office (I don't like it by the way).

@ home is a completely different story with an I7 Quad Core, Win7 Ultimate x64 machine that I really love and enjoy (with the same wall :D )

As for the dock, I'd wait for Object Dock 2 if you have a 64 bit computer. It can emulate Apple's dock very well.

so does windows 7 suck so bad they need to make a windows 8 alreadyy?

Nah, it's more like.. Microsoft is returning back to the normal pacing of upgrades and releases. Look at MacOSX, and how often they release a new version of their Operating System. Look at Windows before XP came out. Windows 95, 98, 2000/ME, XP was 1-2 years after 2000. The only reason why 8 coming out in 2-3 years from now seems a shock to you is because Microsoft dropped the ball during the 2000s and waited 5-6 years to come out with a new version of Windows (Vista). XP is the exception, NOT the standard, people seem to forget this.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
