Gamer_World14 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 What I use for media player is Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center (integrates recorded TV nicely), and CD Art Display, which is a skinnable resource for displaying the media player music of your choice. I just like sticking with Microsoft software so I don't need all that unnecessary stuff like iTunes, Foobar, etc. Except it's just about the opposite for internet browsers, since I hate Internet Explorer. I use Google Chrome and sometimes Firefox. Quote deviantART | Paint.NET Gallery | bennettfrazier.com <-- (My new Website!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Man Dan Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Wow thats a thats awsome.. can i have a download link for both ?.. Sure thing. Just lemme know what resolution you need. Well, GLX-Dock was alright, but was an extra RAM debt that wasn't worth it to me in the long run. That, and it liked to forget icons of running programs for some reason - you could still click the empty space to get at the program, but you'd have no idea what program you'd be getting. So I ditched GLX-Dock in favor of the default toolbar actions and built-in GNOME theming capabilities. My new desktop background is a Ubuntu logo based on their new look for 10.04, zoom-blurred for a light-casting effect, and set on a simple textured background. It has nice large labels on the bottom: And mousing near them brings up the toolbar, with the launchers categorized in their respective areas: Uses up less RAM and functions just about the same. I'm pretty happy with it.

Helio Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) And mousing near them brings up the toolbar, with the launchers categorized in their respective areas: Nicely crafted desktop, Dan! Out of curiosity, are the large labels at the bottom part of the desktop background? And, have you achieved the matching arrows on the expanded toolbar by assigning a toolbar background? However you did it, it is a clever piece of work. --- Edit: Since this is the 'Post Your Desktop Thread', I suppose I might post one of mine. My Ubuntu desktop--fairly simple: Edited April 18, 2010 by Helio Quote v An excellent open–source strategy game—highly recommended. "I wish I had never been born," she said. "What are we born for?"

Crazy Man Dan Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Yep, the labels are a part of the background. I would make a useless toolbar with the labels on as a transparent PNG background, but I haven't found a way to make a toolbar that doesn't auto-hide yet is able to go behind windows - granted I haven't looked either. The background of the toolbar itself then is also has the texture as a fill so as to cover over the labels on the background. So, it'd be a less than elegant process to port this effect over to any other wallpapers, but for the time being, it's nice and stylish.

Frontcannon Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Crowded. Cluttered. Messy. Too much going on for me. Also, I can't stand rainmeter. Somehow it messed up my desktop when I had it on my former XP desktop and that wasn't cool.

Goonfella Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Well I think it`s a bit too cluttered personally. I prefer a nice clean look with as few shortcuts on the screen as possible.With Win7`s new taskbar it makes it easy to achieve now as well. Here is my latest( guess what lappie I`ve got! ) - Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
