A closer look—here you can see a few extra details. The desk is actually made of a desk and a dresser pushed together, and the cord to the logitech charger is hidden by squeezing into the seam. The speaker stands were made with few screws, washers, nuts, and some pieces of metal available at most hardware stores.
My old desktop before i switched to windows 8. my first time spending time modifying font sizes and colors for something unique.
Uses a number of things from rain meter.
Modified Serenity for the clock, date, and chronophage and system info.
customize.org/rainmeter/skins/87801
modified Trans rounded for the weather
customize.org/rainmeter/skins/41754
i can't remember or find what internet meter i have,but i know i modified that too, i just know its title is "black' and there's also a "white" version.
as for the task bar the icons (which to find out what they were i had to REALLY dig) is iconpack2 by aablab.

i think my start orb was this...maybe, maybe not...
joaofernandojfmx.deviantart.com/art/Start-Orb-Windows-8-N...
and the desktop theme was called Slave, i changed the header text to blue along with some other colors to help it match better.
guillendesign.deviantart.com/art/SLAVE-for-Windows-Seven-...
and the wallpaper is actually cycling through a bunch of darker, and night themed wallpapers so the text doesn't fall into the background.
but this wallpaper was featured on life hacker somewhere before :D
interfacelift.com/wallpaper/details/2474/velocity.html
Also note a number of icon have a little tab over them, thats bins holding the bulk of the apps i use.
Sadly windows update somehow found its way into the picture...

My moonwalk desktop.
On the bottom left near my start button I have a Google Search bar, so local and online search are in the same area. Beside that I have IKONKO 2's mail skin connected to my Gmail account (I don't get much mail), and immediately following is the weather.
On the right side of the screen I have Growl for Windows set up for notifications, so all I needed was the Dropbox, Rainmeter and Volume status bar icons. Time and Date are thanks to IKONKO 2's skins, and so are RAM usage and Recycle Bin info. I like keeping my bin empty, so a desktop indicator on its contents (however simple) was very welcome.
In front of the Stormtrooper is my To Do so that it is near the centre of the screen to maximize attention on it.
Stuff used:
- IKONKO 2
- Elune
I noticed the other day that I was wasting a lot of time getting ready in the morning. I had to constantly be picking up and putting away grooming items, increasing the time required and the probability of dropping them on the floor. With a few strips of common cellophane tape several irritating tasks become an extra bit of fun in my morning!

Everything seen here is Rainmeter. Also included in the zip file is a custom Rainlendar skin and a matching CD Art Display skin, in addition to the fonts used.

After creating the original mind.Depositor with clips and used it for a while, I found a small problem but it bugs me on regular basis. To insert and pull out the cards, it requires force, no matter how small it is, it creates stress. That's why superior Japanese stationery designs often put into considerations how to reduce user efforts. They call the practice "Universal Design".
So I set out to do a simpler version by using two pieces of leather only. I also have a practice to carry a small notepad or Field Notes to capture to-do inputs temporarily before transferring them to GTD index cards. So I'm adding a slit for the notepad and a slit to store extra blank index cards.
On the left hand side of the cover, I can put a notepad by inserting it to a slit, put blank GTD index cards in the pocket and insert a Field Notes.
On the right hand side I can put two categories of index cards (Personal and Work) into different pockets.
There is also a flap used as a bookmark or enclosure.
The whole thing becomes more compact and functional. It requires less effort to use, it is a simpler design with pleasant leather as the only material, I'm so happy with it. I especially like the color contrast of the outer white and inner brown. So check out the sections below and learn how to create your own.

Let me just begin by saying, i absolutely despise pompous people.
OK....now that i have said that, i can move on to telling you what brought that on! Or......i can ask you all for YOUR definition of BOKEH! Since i like to be thorough about finding things out, i decided to look on the web, and also ask your humble opinion.
Here is a definition that i found on the web:
"The term bokeh is an anglicized version of a Japanese word used to describe the portion of a photograph that is out of focus behind the area of principal focus in a picture. When you see a portrait that has a creamy soft background and a nice crisp focus on the person being photographed, you are seeing bokeh. The shape of the highlights—sometimes round, hexagonal or other geometric shapes—is determined by the shape of the aperture in the lens.”
Lifehacker Photography / JASON FITZPATRICK
SO...i maintain that ANY out of focus section of a photo beyond what is in sharp focus (even with the lack of little balls of light, that are in this picture) is in fact Bokeh. Given this explanation, It could be the soft almost distinguishable shape of flowers or the smooth blur of colors created by whatever is behind the subject, created by the DOF of the lens. Yes, it IS DOF of the lens....but, if it is not clear, it is bokeh. Am i not understanding this explanation???
Now, i do not throw around the term pompous lightly....matter of fact i have come across very, VERY few people that fit that term strongly enough for me to tag them...but the person who wrote on one of my shots, sort of rubbed me the wrong way, and so i had a look at said persons profile. It fit the definition of pompous enough for me to tag him with it, and have no regrets :)
The old me would have just been annoyed and taken it as me doing something wrong, posting the shot on Bokeh Wednesday. However, the new me has decided that since HE is not in charge of the definition of Bokeh, and the shot i posted fits the definition above, i feel justified in answering him with a smug, "Live and Learn :p” . Some people just think they know it all....and i think after reading his profile, he should just take his toys and go home, because he does not belong on a friendly, fun sight like this!!
HMBT, my friends!
Like Fata Morgana, this isn't what I'm using, so much as a prototype of what I'd like to use. Imagine if Launchy popped up with a broad HUD like this - like an ultra-light version of Dashboard. Between that and the taskbar - which I toggled off in this shot, but would probably keep visible in practice - I'd have very few unsatisfied desires.
Full-size view recommended for this one.
- Wallpaper: Bloom.
- Rainmeter theme: Enigma, modified.
- Icons: "ecqlipse 2", modified.
- Launchy.
- Yod'm 3D 1.4.
In the near future, I'd like to try a fuller, situation room-esque config in tribute to jacquesblondes' submission this morning. So maybe I'll think of this as a temporary exorcism of my minimalist muses.
What my work-space (at least, the virtual one) looks like at work! Yeah, this pool is going to make me clean up my desktop even more, I can tell....Now, if only I could figure out a way to get rid of the undeletable icons that our network insists we keep!
...with apologies for the terrible framerate; my 3-year-old laptop CPU is not a big fan of Jing. The actual cube rotates at about 10 FPS.
- - - - - - -
This cube, with my Arcs skin superimposed on one side, was created by Alex2539 as an experimental demonstration of Rainmeter's graphical capabilities. Rather took my breath away when it popped up on my screen. Alex is brilliant at integrating complex mathematics into Rainmeter; his work made a number of Enigma skins possible.
This skin uses zero external images or resources; it is generated entirely using color gradients, numerical calculations, and live transformation matrices. It is made possible by the newest Rainmeter beta, which now includes primitive support for "dynamic variables" - setting object properties to ever-changing values and having them update in realtime.
While this is really just a demonstration - I'm sure the future will bring a more refined version - it's entirely usable. With the math already done for you, it's easy to add meters to any face of the cube just by adding the following lines:
DynamicVariables=1
Hidden=[Show#]
TransformationMatrix=[MeasureA#];[MeasureB#];[MeasureC#];[MeasureD#];[MeasureTX#];[MeasureTY#]
where # is the face of the cube (1-6) on which the meter is to appear.
Try it for yourself (really, please do - the motion is much smoother than it appears in the video). You'll need:
- The latest Rainmeter Beta (r192 or higher). [Edit: looks like people are having problems with this on 192. I'm looking into it, but for the moment, consider yourself warned.]
- Cube skin by Alex2539, modified with Arcs meters.
And that's it. :)
Many thanks to Mr. Alan Henry and LIFEHACKER.

**************************************
For the past several years, my family has spent a week, in early January, at the Club Med village in Punta Cana, on the southwestern shore of the Dominican Republic. (Our first visit to Club Med was back in 1985, and some photos of last year's trip can be seen here.)
This year's visit coincided with the awful earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince, Haiti -- about 260 miles away, on the eastern coast of the island of Hispaniola. From what I understand, the fault line went straight west, in our direction, but then cut south at approximately the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. In any case, none of the vacationers at Club Med felt even the slightest tremor; we got all of our news of the ensuing events just like everyone else, by watching CNN. But because we expected the capitol city of Santo Domingo to be chaotic and congested with relief efforts, I decided to skip a daylong trip that I had tentatively planned to photograph the churches and markets of what turns out to be the oldest city in the Western hemisphere (settled in 1497 by Christopher Columbus' brother).
In recent years, most of my photographic efforts have focused on the vacationers who fill the beaches and pool -- especially the children, who come from Canada, France, Venezuela, and various other parts of the world besides the United States. So I decided to focus on something else this year, and ... well, you can judge the results for yourself...

Handed out at Saturday's walk... Everyone adorned the pins immediately, so I assume they were liked the most. I'm curious to know what the stickers ended up on, at home?
It's not too late to get your own! Mark your calendar for the morning of the second Saturday of every month, and join our photo walk (in Lincoln, Nebraska).
Also, this shot was taken while experimenting with a DIY $10 Macro Photo Studio (I spent $3, actually), using only outdoor light through a window.

Designing a Year 1 Plan for a start-up project. I had to go lo-fi. Please note: I've created a group called Evernote Playground, and invite you to post your Evernote experiments there.
Inspired by images found on flickr, I left the computer behind in favor of breaking my One Year Plan for the Alumni Mentor Program at Marylhurst into small components across 5 themes: experiences, partners, research, messaging, AmeriCorps. Each of these themes is examined across 4 terms of Year 1, which starts in Sep 08. Outside the frame are some broader targets and ideas for Year 2 and Year 3.
I executed this project on my office floor at work - everyone who walked by commented on my technique. It was funny to hear that most people reflected on how organized I was and that it looked like "work is getting done!" I'd been thinking what a nut I was, and how working like this was way-fun and reminded me of coloring on the floor when I was a kid! I've tapped into my inner-organizational-geek child.
Seeing how others have worked using this component method encouraged me to experiment with this process - thanks to folks who share their ways of working!!! Old dogs can learn new tricks. Note to self: choose heavier stock once this supply is gone! Luckily no dogs wandered in (it's happened before).

Alright, so questions answered. Thanks caelyx for answering srossi's question. That is the correct water widget. I love it. nparker13, TVTad is a background rss reader that integrates with your torrent client. It uses the backend of some of the best tv torrent sites out there to automatically get the rss feeds and download the torrents for you. You can get that here www.tvtad.tk/ . And roboaustin, I got the iTunes in my taskbar by rightclicking my taskbar, then going to toolbars and selecting the iTunes. Then everytime I minimize iTunes, it drops down like that. It is the same way for Windows Media Player.
This is my desktop, a pretty organized one. The template isn't actually mine. A friend sent it to me, I just don't know where did he found it, but worth sharing cause of its ingenuity, though.
I don't know why, but somehow it seems surprising to me that nuns in an ancient city like Rome would be talking on a cell phone. There's obviously nothing wrong about it ... but still ...

These photos were taken during a week in Rome, at the beginning of December 2008. I was participating in a computer conference, but had some free time at the beginning and end of the trip; unfortunately, the weather was not very cooperative, and my photography efforts were sometimes interrupted by rain...
My music production/gaming/general purpose computer setup. I mainly use Reaper for my DAW, guitar rig 3 so I can plug my guitars in and record, a condenser mic (not pictured) for vocals/acoustic guitar, NI Komplete for various keyboard VSTs, and Garritan Steinway for my main piano VST. The hardware to the left of the keyboard is the NI Audio Kontrol 1 and NI Kore 2. The speakers are a pair of KRK RP6 and a KRK K10S for the sub. Keyboard=Studiologic SL990XP. Keyboard tray slides in for easy piano access. There is LED rope lighting behind the desk of course (thanks lifehacker!). The monitors are 2x 22" mounted on arms so that they can be easily rotated and repositioned. "Smart" power strip that shuts all gear off when computer is shut down.
This was created following a tutorial that I read here to give pictures a cinematic effect.
Sox are up ten and a half games in the AL East. Unreal.
Well, I may be just a little slow in uploading this desktop (*whistles innocently* - you mean it's not June anymore?) but better late than never. No major changes, just fiddling with the colours, fonts and wallpapers.
Like? Dislike? Thoughts? Comments?
As usual, want to know anything - just ask (it will make me get off my ass and find out the info)
My desktop setup. I'm using Ubuntu, a breaking bad wallpaper, Numix and conky. Check out the details here: wp.me/p4scdt-1w
This is yet another picture of my Workspace, but I revamped it yesterday, cleaning drawers, shelfs and well, the, eh... WORKSPACE!
The actual desk is pretty minimalistic
- 2 pen pots, one pot for black pens, and pencils, second pot for colored pens.
- 20" Dell Screen
- Logitech Wireless Keyboard
- Razor Mamba wireless mouse with dock.
- Ipod Touch
This workspace works for me because I do a lot of work on the computer, so I do not want nor need clutter on my desk, It also works for me, because when something comes up and I need space, I know I have it and it's there ready to roll!
As a fellow Lifehacker User/Commenter I think it is my duty to have a minimalistic desktop, after all the advice they gave me, it was not that hard, I will probably take pictures of the 'under desk' to let you guys have a look at my wiring. And a picture of my entire workshelf: desk+ 2 side Storages.
Cheers,
Rolfmaomachizlin.
It occurred to me that nobody uses a vertical taskbar anymore.

Enigma 2.1
A small update - a very small update, not expected to appear on Lifehacker - taking some common problems and criticisms from 2.0 into account.
- Setup program now obeys your computer's unique Program Files directory, so those of you having problems on non-English systems should be fine now.
- NET Icon finally fixed. Turns out I just had to add a MaxValue setting. I can't remember who reminded me of this, but thank you very much.
- Reader now clears stuck links on mouseover, so you don't have to click it anymore. Thanks to moosatov for this idea.
- MoxaWeather's easier to switch to dark icons now; you can just change a number.
- Revised instructions in various places.
Get it here.

Blog
Update: Liquid Crystal Discourse is now a reality.
I've been thinking about starting a small blog on which to post my thoughts and philosophy on desktop modding in general. I'm sure I'd still post screenshots and updates here, but I think it might be interesting to try a more independent medium, especially since the Enigma LS project is likely to be a long and gradual development. This depends, of course, on whether I'd have any kind of readership. It would be a totally organic project; I just want to see if it would go anywhere. Feedback on this idea is entirely welcome.

I also thought I should do my part to evangelize the Lifehacker Desktop Customization Concept Development, courtesy of Chaebi69 and Projectvirus. It's just getting started and could certainly benefit from some new voices. :) And on that note:

Rainmeter
has returned to active development. Rejoice! As you can see, they're already working hard, and their Issues list is more ambitious than I expected. I actually found out about it through a comment on Arcs - it seems they've already finished an anti-aliasing overhaul for their next release. Exciting times.
They also told me they're open to suggestions. So there's a chance that we can get some of the concepts that pop up around here supported at the source code level. :)

Another minor update to the Lightning Sunset series. I've been experimenting with Rainmeter, and have managed to duplicate and (in my opinion) improve upon my Samurize config. I don't expect to look back.
I strongly encourage you to view this full-size, to get a good look at Rainmeter's gorgeous anti-aliasing.
I'm still using D-Color and Xentient, but the truth is I do prefer a clean, iconless desktop when I can manage it.
- - - - - - -
I realize this gradual progression isn't very interesting for most people, so I'm putting together some ideas for a completely different interface. I'll be dusting off some of my old Samurize experiments for it (probably with Rainmeter ports to come). It'll also be white. Just for fun.

Theme:
- CleanGlass VS. Requires patched uxtheme.dll - patcher here.
- Wallpaper: "clouds" on Social Wallpapering.
- Cube Wallpapers: Temple Street Sky by Mandolux. It's a single seamless skyscape that spans four desktops - ideal, in other words, for a cube. Unlike karindalziel, I use my virtual desktops not as "stations" but as a single cohesive workspace. To each his own, of course.
Startups:
- Autohotkey.
- Launchy.
- Yod'm 3D 1.4.
- D-Color.
- Start Killer.
Programs usually running:
- Rainmeter. Please see here for a more in-depth explanation of why I made the switch. You can download the skin by clicking the link at the top of this post.
- CD Art Display. I'm still on the lookout for an iTunes plugin for Rainmeter. For the moment, I've taken a CAD skin and made it blend right in with the rest of the Rainmeter layout. It wasn't hard, but I'd be happy to walk you through it.
Feel free to ask questions, as always. This is how I have fun.
