Re: [Merged] Show us your Desktop or Wallpaper
 
Just had a look at the Foobar2000 site and screenshots. Is it skinnable? If not, I don't think it'd go well with my desktop wallpaper style.

Cobbydaler 13-08-2006 23:15

No according to this...

AndrewJ 14-08-2006 00:50

Re: [Merged] Show us your Desktop or Wallpaper
 
I have heard of customisation of Foobar2000, but I keep my computer minimalistic right now I'm back to Windows Classic for ease of reading but at times I skin it down even more.

On Neowin there is an entire topic dedicated to the customisation of Foobar, although recently Foobar released a new version of their player after weeks in beta to the public, and I am unsure wether this new version which GUI wise differes little to the old version is compatable.


The topic if you are interested is located HERE

No, I found it on DeviantArt. It's here.

Since doing a total switch to Linux, I've got my self a new desktop. I've also got into 3D abstract modelling using Blender (which I find to be extremely fun) - my current desktop is one of the pieces I did a couple of weeks ago.

Nice one, Pia... did you take the pic?

Here's mine. It's the world's tallest bridge, in Millau, south France. The photo doesn't do any justice as to just how tall it is. I didn't take the photo, although I have taken some pics of it, but they're not as good as this one.

HSH85 24-09-2006 17:30

Re: [Merged] Show us your Desktop or Wallpaper
 
I rarely see someone having their tesk bar at the side, usualy it's for systemmatrix or similar programs. Anyways nice wallpaper you have their.

ADd 24-09-2006 19:15

Re: [Merged] Show us your Desktop or Wallpaper
 
Cheers HSH85 :)

I have the task bar at the side, as I often have many windows open - using different programs at the same time, while working through logs. For myself the taskbar 'runs out' too quickly if at the bottom, and it is easier to locate the correct window in the taskbar. I only changed to this style about 12 months ago, and it works well for me. In addition I have lots of quicklaunch icons for programs too, as I prefer the shortcuts here instead of the desktop - again for speed of use, as it uses less clicks.

AndrewJ 26-09-2006 15:00

Re: [Merged] Show us your Desktop or Wallpaper
 
Interesting layout I have the taskbar on single because right now I group the bars together since I use Al+tab and the powertoy to give you images as you switch to move between them.

That's cool, I had the same trouble with the limited space; I just increased the hight rather placing at the side. But with all that quick launch icons, doesn't it slows down the time to login into your account?. I used the have ***** loads of quick launch icons and slowed my login time by 30 secs! :Yikes:

Haven't noticed too much slow-down, but if there is I prefer the icons being easy to hand, so a little pay off isn't too bad. I disable most of the non-essential service through 'services.msc' and stop all the unnecessary startup programs too. I guess it is whatever works best for each individual.

Cool, what's the monitoring thing running in the bottom left? I use GKrellM, but I'm not a huge fan of it (not enough eye candy ;)) Is it konfabulator?
