I like the Windows Task Manager up for some reason, usually my computer might get laggy and I won't know so I have the CPU usage on the bottom.

I also share this computer with a sister who is a total junky. You can see the dock is mine on the top and all the stuff to the top right is also mine, and my sister uses limewire not me.

I like your background, but there's a couple of icons on your dock that seem a bit cluttered, to me. Also your taskbar is unlocked.

Originality: 7/10, anime/japanese games are used a lot.
Neatness: 7/10, I can see that it's been organized, but with the icon and background combined, it looks really busy. Try putting your most used programs (daily/weekly) in your dock, and the rest in a central folder (feel free to put that folder in your dock as well.)
Style: 9/10, I'm judging this based on what it can be if it becomes more organized. The purple and your background match and would look GREAT - just get rid of the icons.

Overall, it's a great desktop! I like it. The background is actually pretty unique, even though it's an anime background (I love manga/Kingdom Hearts/FF, so I feel ya on that smile.gif ) You've installed a dock, which is a great step towards organization. In one score I'd give it a 7/10.




In this one I changed the background and changed the icons on my dock to have a more unique look. I also added the control panel to my background, but I've already removed that. The dock and the taskbar hide themselves unless I hover my mouse over their respective areas. The window color is a dark shade of brown.

Adding more docklets would increase the neatness? Huh? It would make it more crowded. Anyway those are the only programs I use frequently enough as to have them there.

Fini do you DELIBERATELY make sure you have Firefox open to 'Free Porn Videos' when you take a screenshot of your desktop tongue.gif

Originality 5/10 - Custom dock and a nice background, but just the default Vista theme.
Neatness 9/10 - Very neat, not much I can fault there.
Style 7/10 - The black and white colour scheme is nice, but the dock at the side just doesn't fit in IMO. Idk, maybe that's just me.
