My WinXP Desktop
This is my desktop on my PC. It's pretty hacked up. I used to use litestep as a replacement shell, but upgrading to WinXP broke my old setup, so I went looking for something new that wouldn't totally replace the shell(since as a consolation I liked the XP shell in general a lot better than Win98.) I ended up with a combination of Serious Samurize and TsDesk. The former is a desktop overlay, and it powers all the stuff along the bottom there... performance meters, iTunes output, etc. There are also weather and calendar modules and lots of other stuff, but they broke on me and I haven't bothered to fix them yet. The latter is pretty much just an extension of Active Desktop to make it do what it originally should have, ie, let you have a real dynamic webpage as your desktop. So, I've got links to lots of crap instead of ugly, inefficient shortcuts thanks to that, plus the search dropdown and the included text file that is my notetaking space.
