Mine: I put it together. Very simple--but I like it. Yes, I know Seifer's not in the picture--but I don't like him lol.

^Shame that the real game wasn't nowhere even nearly as detailed as these renders let understand. But... who cares about the guys? Bring out the womanly flesh and booty!

Serene, isn't it? Have to go soon, though, since I'm formatting my HDD this week and creating a Mandriva/WindowsXP dual-boot.

What is the style you're using called? It's great!

New desktop!

Spoiler:

Before someone asks, i'm using Object dock plus

Ending · 2006-07-27, 17:52

@ KhaS: The files and guide can be found from my personal webpage. But in brief, it's wally, WindowBlinds5, and Dreamland skin. Plus some tweaking from my part.

@ ^Aya^: ObjectDock is nice, but the packages often are less-than-useful and the program does consume quite a bit of resources, no?

It mostly depends on how you set it up. If you do not use the mouseover magnification (basically a static dock), it consumes very little memory and processing power.

I have it setup that way on my notebook to reduce power consumption on the battery.

Cloudnine is right.
I have put 3 docklets: one above with some icons, one down to the left with the running programs and another one down right with the tray programs (all docklet with glow effect). In the task manger it consumes 7-8mb memory, it's not too much imho, with no effect it would use even less.

With this kind of settings I see some slowing down when i open BS player and watch some video (anime of course

) in fullscreen and then i reduce the video to window. While it's playing there are no problems at all.
Also another bad things is that if i put the docklet always on top the firefox tab slow down a lot

Probably some kind of bug, i dont know

I simply resolved it using mouse activation

Ps: My system is an Athlon Xp 2800+ with 1gb ram

Now i'm going to try another sotware: Rk Luncher. It's freeware and i heard is faster and lighter than object dock.

I decided to show you all a couple of wallpapers I have of Asa from SHUFFLE!

Please let me know how it works, screenshots of how it looks too!

Thank you.

Here's my desktop!

I figured "What better way to join the forums than to post? Zomg, my logic is awesome." I always hate 'hello' threads, so we'll start here!

Thank you.

Spoiler:

On the right side (near the date) there are the open applications, very nice it shows them like a little preview of the window

The windows bar is hidden at the top of the screen. I searched for all the icons in .png format size 128x128 or above, the result is great!

Cons:
- just one dock
- just one effect (magnification) [for now imho]

Pro:
- the memory used depends on how many icons and effect you use. Anyway my pc was not slowed at all! (while with object dock firefox went crazy, video were slowed and some windows slowed while even just one dock were on top)
- pretty customizable (use the latest build you find on the forum, not the official release on the site -but keep in mind that the latest non official release may crash or contain bugs

)
- freeware!

Hope it helps!

eh...... that's kinda..... dull..... don't you think?

Seive · 2006-07-30, 07:30

It was a joke in MxO. xD It's a Sieve up there, but I mispelled my name when I was first making my character, hence Seive. It's more symbolic than anything.

And yeah, it's not too pretty bar wise, etc, because this is my gaming PC. It's all been tweaked down to the bare necessities.

Epyon9283 · 2006-07-30, 08:50

That dock looks even more like OS X than the others. Especially with the minimized windows there.

Thank you so much, that seriously looks beautiful. Think I'm gonna try it. Erm could I ask where you go to search for the icons you mentioned? Cookie!

Hmmm the latest build would be .4 beta no?

edit: Ahhhh this program is suffering from the lack of a decent help/manual/"how to"/"where to" file.
