Style: 9, great background, not liking the taskbar.
Originality: 10
Neatness: 9. Get rid of that recycling icon!


Changed the vista "orb" to clear and got a new background. interfacelift.com has awesome backgrounds.



The dock doesn't autohide, but it's set to always be at the bottom, so I only see it if I'm at the desktop.

Yea, it looks alot nicer with the orb clear. I won't rate, but I like it alot.

Windows Vista with a custom made RocketDock skin and modified Eqclipse icons to fit my background.

PS: The red arrow underneath the Firefox icon is an indicator for a running application, so it's not part of the icon or anything.
Cattius
Fairly unoriginal picture, but you've created the feel of a theme by using dock icons that match the background. It's nice and simple, I like it biggrin.gif

Not entirely happy with my background, couldn't find many black and white (I mean only 2 colours, black and white, no greys) that I liked enough to look at all the time tongue.gif. I got the Taskbar on autohide, so it can still be used tongue.gif.

Not the most original but I <3 having two monitors. The offset is a functionality thing; something that I did to make it easier to use the computer.
Caboose
Yeah, that's very large. You do realize how long it took to load with my internet connection don't you tongue.gif Also, dual monitors are bad for the environment aware.gif

Actually, it just seems to have stopped loading, so i'll rate what i can see (the first 100px down or so).

Originality: 7/10 - You see a lot of space wallpapers but that one looks pretty unique.
Style: 9/10 - Looks great, from what i can see. I'm assuming here that there's more going on further down.
Neatness: 7/10 - Lots of icons, seems a bit cluttered. And Windows sidebar? Still...

Overall: 8/10 - Nice looking but work on the number of icons. And perhaps on maybe selling one of those monitors?

Here's mine, after final reformat.
I'm running a heavily modified version of Win XP Pro called Win XP Ultimate. Comes loaded with new themes such as Mac, Vista and Win 7, has many free utilities included and is completely legal because it requires a Windows XP Pro key to work. Pretty much Windows XP on steroids. It runs blazing fast though.

It has the kind of utilities EVERY windows installation should have by default.
