Originality: 7/10 Plain Vista but with the taskbar stretched and on top
Neatness: 7/10 Desktop is neat, but taskbar is cluttered
Style: 4/10 Wallpaper looks very artificial (obviously) and I just don't really like Vista taskbars stretched or on top.

Originality: 6/10 Default except for dock.
Neatness: 10/10 Very neat and organized.
Style: 10/10 I like it, not too overdone and stuff. I really like how the dock fits perfectly into the wallpaper

EDIT: +1 bonus style point for using WMP instead of iTunes. iTunes looks horribly out of place in Vista.


Here's another one of mine from a while back that I never posted here. I have since realized that docks are pretty but not practical, so I don't use them anymore.

Originality: 5/10, seems like a typical landscape background and icon layout.
Style: 5/10, I don't really see "style", except for the way you arranged your icons.
Neatness: 7/10, the amount of icons is a little too much for me, and your notifications area in your taskbar is pretty full.

Overall, 6/10. Nothing too special.

I edited my icons again so that they would match the current background (thank God for Photoshop and color mixers!). The taskbar and dock are on Auto-Hide, so all you see is the background unless you mouse over their respective areas.

I took that picture myself! My notifications are only has one thing on it that i don't need, and that's Vista trying to get my to download SP2, which is pointless since it'l be replaced by Windows 7 when i get the disks. I've never seen anybody else set out their icons in that way, and i make use of them all...

Can i ask for a second opinion?

I hate when people give a 9/10 for a really neat background. What consists of a 10?

Anyways, if this doesn't get a 10 for style, you guys don't know how to rate. I'm serious.

Neatness: 10/10 Minimal Dock usage and no icons whatsoever on the desktop! Very nice!

Overall 9/10. Very good job.

I FINALLY HAVE WINDOWS 7!!#!!@@@!!!!@!11!!1!1! I changed my dock to better match my custom icons and taskbar. I've arranged the icons by category - music, games, office, etc. The background changes to a different Danboard background every 5 minutes, so that's just the current one. To see the others, just take a look at my previous posts in this thread. The taskbar and dock are on Auto-Hide, so all you see is the background unless you mouse over their respective areas.
