December 2010 Desktops


Recommended Posts

That's the messiest, most convoluted desktop I've ever seen. How do you work with that and not go into an Epileptic seizure?

Quite easily, since the top desktop is stitting above me on it's own monitor, and the larger desktop is the one in front of me. The Circle Dock is not always there, and becomes opaque when I either click on my middle mouse button or the "Windows+ALT" key combination.

The rest of the less critical things for me on my larger desktop all have their "Opacity" set to 20%. I'm just the kind of guy who likes to keep track of things on his computer's desktop.

Wow... you just put EVERYTHING you could throw in there? :blink:

Yeah, well...I'm an InfoGeek and ScienceGeek, and this desktop suits me just fine. Alot of it also helps me with my Streaming Music show on the 'net.

I hadn't updated my desktop for a long time, but I just had to use this picture I took last week as wallpaper. For some reason it makes me smile every time I see it :p

Window borders: freshdark.

Widgets: freshdark (the app in the second screenshot is QT, though).

Icons: black-white 2 style, with some customized icons. I'll replace some more eventually, but I can't be bothered right now.

Album cover widget: covergloobus with the polaroid theme.

On a non related note, I recently noticed they had released GuitarPro6 for Linux, and I couldn't help buying it :blush:

threw osx on my mini... three OS's this thing went though in a week.

7 - ran pretty good, booted fast and lots of games

ubuntu - gorgeous, booted the quickest, UI the slowest, no games...

osx - almost as gorgeous (honestly ubuntu IMO is the nicest looking os), boot the slowest, but performed the best. Warcraft runs best on this OS compared to the other two hands down. almost 5-7 more fps a second avg.

    • Apart from Early Hiccups on Windows 11 on first install on October 6th 2021 on my old Intel 10700 daily use Desktop PC at the time, used to have issue with Bluetooth suddenly no longer working and only fix back then was always another clean install--then would work for a while. Transition to 2024 when i decided to finally upgrade that system for better support for Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 6 later on, opted for next daily use Gaming Desktop AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and Radeon 7800XT OC 16GB. No major problems at all with this desktop, OS was clean installed way back on 10/8/2025 not long after 25H2 released. Overall i've been happy with Windows 11 Pro from the start, even minor little quirks didn't sway me. Heck i even use Windows 8 and upgraded immediately upon release back then on my old HP P6-2133W Desktop, and while the specs of that machine didn't give me top notch performance--i still was able to do what i wanted to, without too many slowdowns. Windows ME i didn't use on any of my personal systems back in the day, kept those systems on 98SE til XP released, and grabbed that immediately on release date. Kept XP til Vista Released then upgraded immediately, kept Vista til Windows 7 released, then updated immediately again
    • Broadcom: dreadful company who is destroying VMware by pricing it out of the market.
    • To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.
    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....
