really, share with us your window colors/decorations/sex of choice.


Uhh...

By that you mean what? (Or, "Please reword your question.")

When you have resources... why not use them... I mean what's the point of having a sweet graphics card, tons of ram, fast processor, if you're only going to use it to play games with, plus I like the black translucent window borders... they look pretty bad ass.

And I've never had Beryl crash on me once, and I find the cube pretty handy.


1) Its the "If you have it why not use it" that the entire windows OS and software is so fucking bloated.
2) "If you have it why not use it pt2" - I can have a window open up as soon as I press a button, or I can have it take a few seconds and slide onscreen and look cool, I'm sure there are people who will choose the slide-in just because it may "look cool," but all the pretty eyecandy in the world isn't going to help me get done what I need done faster. I'm sure some people like it the other way, but that isn't me.

Standard Vista Aero. Mainly because nothing good has been made for it yet.

Not half bad, no. Out of pure curiosity (not that I'd consider getting anything like that myself...), what are you using for the pseudo-Mac OS X icon bar at the bottom?

Since we are talking about Linux desktop themes, screenshot get. Don't mind all the weeaboo stuff on there; since my Linux machine is the only one with larger amounts of free HD space left, I've been using it as a repository to relocate those things to in order to liberate some space on the main one.

The Mac like dock is AWN (Avant Window Navigator). Website here. Last I used it, it was a tad buggy, but that was a while ago mainly because I'm not a big fan of docks.

That image is scaled down in a rather unpleasant manner.

Also, while the shading and everything on the cars is decent, the ground and environment clearly lacks detail to a very large extent.

If you want visual effects on your UI so badly, use WindowBlinds - I think it's not as resource hungry as Vista, and you can spare yourself the rest of the bloat and unlikeable developments of it.

Last view: 5138 days 		I dont want vista for the eye candy alone, even though it looks cool, I want vista premium for other reasons, such as the improved interface, the media center (so I can hook it up to my 360) and yes, aero looks cool lol. Off topic the notebook I want is pretty awesome, I was looking around in Walmart the other day and noticed it for $800. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=9864594
