Neatness: 7 - It's neat I guess, but there's nothing to be neat. ohmy.gif



I like the default look. I got iStat menus, so I can check my memory, CPU, and temperature. I enabled fast user switching, so that's what the guy in the top right corner is doing there. tongue.gif

Beware the SuperTux in the dock.

Edit: the pic is a little blurry. I can't help that. sad.gif

Well, you used the default placement for icons.
But the style and organization was well done.

got it from Desktopography from a link in a person's blog here in the forums (sorry for forgetting whom)

Originality: 9/10. Haven't seen anything like it, but all the icons are defaults.
Organization: 8/10. You got your browsers in 1 row and your messagers in another. Move your recycle bin below the rest of the microsoft icons and put all your game shortcuts on the bottom row.
Style: 6/10. The yahoo mail widget throws it off, but i do like the background. You should consider removing the Network Places icon so your CCleaner isn't all alone on that row.

Overall: Average of 7.6 so i give you an 8/10.

Here is mine.

You may have to click it a few times for the full screen because i use 1280*800 resolution. All of my icons, except Flash drive, Site builder, and chat, are strategicly placed with similar programs. I use all of my icons frequently and it saves time loading the Desktop than the All Programs. I also love my background - I've been using this one for the whole semester when i usually change monthly.

Edit: @acid. There is a game from 1998 called Wargames which got the idea from the 80s movie with the same name. There is some good music from the game, so I have a folder with all the songs. I really should put it in my music folder; don't know why it's still on my desktop. I only have desktop icons for programs i use all the time. Everything else goes in my Start menu. I don't see a point in customizing my theme to mimic Vista, or get a 30 trial for some other theme; i've already tried that and it's annoying to remove.
Acid
Originality: 7/10 i like your wallpaper, but other then that its default Xp

Organization: 6/10 i can see some sort of order in the way you've positioned them but there does seem to be a few to many icons on there.

Style: 9/10: UT = Awesome, Age of mythology = old school but awesome

I'm curious what "war games music" is?

Darn, and here I thought I was being original by making my XP look like Vista. sad.gif

Oh well. I eliminated all the icons from the desktop, and replaced them all with the toolbar at the top. I'm teetering back and forth between no toolbar, and toolbar, so maybe some people can help me decide. Overall though, I'm very proud of my desktop. It's very neat and I think the desktop (Space Odyssey FTW) goes well with the Vista theme.



(Oh, and that big triangle thing is my cursor tongue.gif)

For Knight Haleth...

Wow, what a gorgeous desktop. I haven't seen many Mac desktops that make me say wow. That wallpaper is just amazing. Although I would try to eliminate those two icons on the desktop. I don't know if you can, I don't know much about Macs, but if you could, I think that would make it even better.

Overall: 7/10

Originality: 7/10/10 - I haven't seen anything on Macs that really screams new, but there's just something about your desktop that just calms me.
Style: 9/10 - That wallpaper is gorgeous. I don't care what anyone else says.
Neatness: 7/10 - The two icons on the desktop really erk me. They just seem so out of place. Other than that, nice and neat.
