Awesome Vithar! Love the background. I too use ObjectDock; in fact, that OD skin you're using is my favorite one and the one I always use.

Nice to see that you have a screen big enough for all those icons. Sadly, my laptop is a mere 1024x800, so I can't fit that many. However, I found a way around that using the "stack" docklet. It is an awesome docklet that is a shortcut to a folder, but it mimics the stacks found in OS X. So if you named a folder "BFME mods" and put all your shortcuts in it, then created a "stack" shortcut to the folder....you get a foldout menu of shortcuts. So instead of half a dozen shortcuts on your dock, you only have one that you click twice to get to your desired mod. The stack docklets can be set to use the "fan" or "grid" method of stacking (again, a la OS X). Very space saving....

I'll be posting my desktop in a few days, and I'll include a demo shot of it for you Vithar. If you're interested in the stack docklet, just say so, and I'll put in a link.

Actually, it does sound interesting. And much useful So, perhaps now? Arigatou in advance.

This is my desktop for this month. Who dares defy the might of the Galactic Empire?



For Vithar's benefit, and anyone else's who might be interested in the stack docklet, a pictorial look at the stack docklet.

One of the stack docklets I have on my dock is the "Internet" one.



Click on it, and a selection that I have put together of shortcuts of browsers, chat, and other Internet-related programs will pop out.



You can change its display method to either "grid" (like in the previous picture) or a "fan" like the picture below.



You can have more than one stack docklet. Two more of the many I have are Media Players and "Modding Tools" (BFME modding programs).





How the stack docklet works: the stack docklet basically is a pop-out menu of the folder you choose for it. Basically, I made a folder in My Documents (though you can put it anywhere) and called it "Dock Shortcuts". Inside "Dock Shortcuts" are all the folders--full of program shortcuts--that are referenced by all my stack docklets.







You'll want the stack docklet 2.0. The older version was incredibly messed up. While 2.0 is still a beta, I have never encountered a problem with it.
The automated installer is perfect if you don't know or mess with the inner program files of your dock. However, if you are halfway knowledgeable about the inner program files, just grab the .rar file; you'll know what to do with the files.

Hope that is exceedingly cool and useful for you!

Hebbe.

[Jeth Calark]

I must admit, I'm feeling slight twinges of jealousy seeing those pictures of Windows 7.

Indeed, Windows 7 is FTW!


And that weather module is making me feel very very cold.

Pfff, mine still beats it:

It's official, we already have one
(PS I'll merge the posts when I know you've read this...)

Simple, but I like the picture.
Also, the font on my desktop keeps reverting to this version, which isn't what it should be. Nothing I try fixes it permanently, so I've given up.

This picture actually came as one of the standards with W7, but it looks exactly like the little waterfall in my grandparents' garden, which is beautiful. Every time I see my desktop it reminds me of one of my favourite places in the world.

I think you should go see a shrink ASAP...

Nothing fancy.

Thread revival because I can.

What's with all the unicorn stuff? Seems like I lack some kind of knowledge here...
