Thanks to, Valve for failing, I wouldn't have The Orange Box (minus TF2 which I might get if I feel like it) and CS:S.

Many thanks to Porsche for making such pwnsome and sexy cars. Thanks to the many game developers who didn't fail by making Leopard compatible versions of stuff. Thanks to FF3 for being so pwnsome. Along with Vuze/Limewire.

I deleted a lot of crap that I commonly use to put all my games/most used stuff in my Dashboard.

Originality:8/10

Neatness:9/10 Very neat, everything seems organized and easy to get to, just like mine.

I used a BrioPack to make it look like vista. It doesn't slow my computer down much. I normally don't run any of those programs included like UberIcon and the Sidebar, but I did for the heck of it when taking the screenshot. Oh if you notice the folder names "Folders"on my desktop it contains a bunch of stuff like setups, games, etc. It's size is around 27GB tongue.gif. The theme would have been Mac themed, but that one slowed my computer a lot and I just couldn't take it.


Also nice Mac Chemical Romance!!!! I want one so badly, I would kill you for it, and I'll take your money too so I can buy a better Mac tongue.gif. I give it:

Overall: 10/10, because MACS Pwn and the wallpaper and neatness is good.

Originality: 9/10
Neatness: 10/10 because everything is at the dock neatly organized, although why is the dock at the left, the right or bottom is more convenient. It also looks better.
Style: 9/10 This is something I would probably have if I owned a Mac, except for the games and the wallpaper, wallpaper would be a Lambo or Aston Martin probably.
Caboose
Originality: 5/10, it's been done.
Neatness: 7/10, I believe that you have just put everything in a folder to make it look like it's neat, when it isn't really. I think you need more desktop icons.
Style: 8/10, love the wallpaper, even if it is old. Just please, please don't install new themes and personalize things. You know how hard that makes it for somebody to come and fix your computer? And do you know how much slower it is? Please, just don't.

Overall: 6.5/10.

Actually I will show you a screen shot of folders. I didn't clutter it up. It is in categories. I keep everything very neat. I don't need much Icon's because I have the dock. Also for the themes, so far I have fixed every problem I have had with my computer, so yeah. My computer is not that slow. Out of like 6 programs that came with the theme, I run the TransBar which makes the taskbar transparent and I run RocketDock which is the dock. Thats it. My performance is still as it was before the theme. Anyways here are the pictures.

@ XmoneyX

Originality:4/10 Seen it a lot before. As if you just got a new comp and re downloaded everything along with some installation packages. I like that you have Safari on there. It may not be better than FireFox, but I like it and use it a lot.
Neatness:7/10 Pretty neat. Looks almost brand new. Not much icons. The installation pack ruins it a bit.
Style:5/10 Not bad.Kind of original background. Some thing most windows xp users have.

This is my background from my Macbook. Yes, my dock is quite full, but I use my laptop quite a bit. It's the only computer I use and it's used for everything, including school. The picture is from my friend's cottage in Quebec.
