Here's mine (I don't usually participate in these threads ):
DS: Royale Sky.
VS: Simple Plan (from www.cutomize.org).
Wallpaper: comes with the VS.

Hi all! I've changed my desktop appearance because, thanks to our forums, I've discovered the guys from AlienWare, that brought me the coolest desktop ever seen. Here are the components:

Visual Style: AlienMorph from www.alienware.com
(it's a Window Blinds skin, but you can use it even if you don't have installed WB, cause the program sets up a wbload.exe dummy process)

Icons: AlienMorph from www.alienware.com

Explorer Bar: Electric Blue for Stylexp from www.tgtsoft.com (does anyone have other explorer bars except the two included in the latest versions of StyleXP?)

MediaPlayer skin: AlienMorph from www.alienware.com

Y'z Dock icons: The Last Order Candy from www.wincustomize.org

Wallpaper: AlienMorph from www.alienware.com

Cursor: Aliex X Grey from www.wincustomize.org

and last but not least...
DS skin: Longhorn Inspirat for searcher86@lycos.de (with modded clock, slider button and hover captions. Modded by me. Maybe I can made a skin based on this very interesting VS)

What can I say: I'm very happy with this new set up, that also matches my modded case with blue neons and fans.
Great work AlienWare

I think he's using the Application Capture panel. It can be downloaded from the FileForum.

yeah i tried it out and had some problems with it.

I'm new here. Love the DS. Well heres my desktop, I like to keep things nice, simple, and clean. What does everyone think?

just me or Banedon's screenshot is half?

yes, it's an error. I update it as soon as possible

i love those alienware icons, been using them for a week or so

Yeah they're great

I really like Desktop Sidebar its so way ahead of all others and it works Great!

This is really beauty contest of desktops. What is a reward
Very nice all of them !
My desktop:
Icon set: FauxS-XP
tru-black by szaboservices skin for DS
BlackoutFlag theme for WinXP
...and with my little customization

Delurking to show y'all mine.

So Ive had the YZ Dock for quite a while and just recently got the DS but whats this other one Ive seen on some desktops. The one with Configurations, Internet Tools, Media Tools, etc..., and where can I get it?

I've updated my desktop image. Enjoy

Here's mine.

WS 2000 Pro + LH-look a like toolbar.
Aero theme from this forum revisited with hollow panels.
I omitted the performance panel on the sidebar but who cares.
The clock is customized by TClock2.
The original wallpaper is from Shawn Taylor: www.wstaylor.net (many LH wallpapers).
The head of the bull was to hot for me so I killed it.... or am I dead ?
Yeaaaaha !!!!!!!!!!!

ooops... I forgot last but not least the icons are 'real' longhorn ... from deviant art I remember.

Here is my desktop, I decided to go with a space theme for a while. The moon rotates and shows the actual phase and provides a nice counterpoint to the Earth. And of course Sidebar in a nice black.

Heres mine using the Aqua Brushed theme

@ nyxus
how can u do that cool thing with the moon? Is it an objectX widget?

Yes, the moon is an objectX widget. It sucks up a lot of resource space (relatively speaking) but really.....what else were you doing with it anyway?

A guy by the name of Will Rose wrote these. Gotta give him props for the really nice way that they turned out. That out of the way, you can download them at WinCustomize.

Luna Vista This is a fully animated, 3D, 30-frames-per-second, 32-bit view of our moon. Not only can you enjoy watching the photo-quality moon revolve on its axis (yes, our moon DOES revolve), but this object will also tell you the current phase of the moon! The shadow keeps pace with the moon's synodic position, and you'll see it change with every night of the lunar orbital period. No quarter-half-threequarter-full approximations here. And yes, the moon is even revealed in its beautiful true color.

Phase of the Moon Here's a simple static moon phase indicator. The Moon is shown in true color from NASA imagery. The code calculates the moon's synodic position, and thus its "phase" for any date, and displays the photo-realistic shadow accordingly. It defaults to the current date and updates itself every hour. This object isn't animated, but the imagery is of the highest quality.

And just because it's really fun to have the whole world, in your...err desktop, here is the Earth too.

Earth - The blue marble
This is a fully animated, 3D, 40-frames-per-second, 32-bit view of the Earth as seen from high orbit. Watch the earth rotate on its axis all day! It's better than "photo-realistic"; it's actually made from true-color imagery shot from the orbiting Terra satellite.

Beware, these are rather large, but oh so worth it from an aesthetic desktop point of view. I hope you enjoy them!

Thx for your complete answer Nyxus!

Nyxus how did you get the BBC News to look like that ?

here is my latest one.

Here is mine

@DoItJust
nice setup! what is the panel with the world map? I have seen it on many desktops...

@ Krillian Hex
what's the visual style you use?

my september desktop

Nice wall paper dude...it looks very cool.

Khaine - the bbc news on my desktop is a widget. You can download it at http://www2.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?lib...y=3&SkinID=3397


I really wish that I could "capture" or place a widget into sidebar. Havent figured out how to do it yet though.


@Krillian Hex. I LOVE that desktop. Anything technical with the psuedo blueprints or tech info in the background always rates highly with me.

Thanks Nyxus
