My Desktop (September 08)
This is my desktop as of September 2008. It's not that much to look at, but it constrasts colors decently while looking nice.
- SLANXP 2.0
The first thing that your eyes look for on white is black, so I used SlanXP 2.0 for my theme. My one qualm with theme is it's color for the background of applications that use the native theme (Firefox, the shell...)
- SNACKR
Directly below the taskbar is Snackr which is an RSS feed reader based off of Adobe Air. It's configured to Engadget's feed as well as the full feed for Lifehacker. My settings place the speed near the middle of the slider, which works rather well for me.
- THE DOCK
The next thing that gets your attention is the wonderful "Mac OS X Dock Leopard for Windows". Not only does it look pretty, it actively reflects icons (and soon windows if the developers word is worth anything), features a stack docklet natively and serves as a hub for all my most actively used icons and folders.
The first icon that you see is a stack for my school folder, which contains all my completed (and incomplete) essays and notes. The second icon is a stack of all of the eBooks that I have on this computer.
The middle is my little gateway to the six most useful applications on my PC. These consist of Adobe products which you should recognize. Bridge, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Photoshop Lightroom 2.
The right side of my dock is all of my creative pursuits. The first being my Creative Works folder which contains subfolders filled with images. The second being my Websites folder which contains all of my endeavors into the web field (PHP, XHTML, XML, JS, etc) and the stack is configured to sort them by the last modified folder, allowing me to find the project I've been working on extremely fast.
- THE DESKTOP
Is just a white background with an inner shadow at random properties that look somewhat appealing to the eye at the time. If you like it, and ask politely; I could give you the raw desktop.
