    Watercolor Emico: Black ^_^

    Switched from RocketDock to ObjectDock again because RocketDock's Stack Docklet doesnt work usually after changing the screen resolution or plugging an external display :|

    Here is my latest desktop, my inspiration was based on the performance of xp but with the eye candy of Vista. So what i did was incorporated things I liked from Vista like the aeropeak,and the icons on the taskbar *from windows 7* and the icons with the stability of xp.

    The reason why I used a black wallpaper and theme was because my LCD screen is bright this helps round out the colours and makes it more appealing to the viewer.

    What I really liked about the theme itself was the slim polished tashbar :)

    Theme: Slain Xp by lassekongo83 via DE
    Wallpaper: via VEER

    Enjoy

    Sadly a picture can't capture the colors. :( There are a lot of colors and effects that go off when preforming certain tasks.. :cool:

    (I did not create any of this btw, I just use it because I really like it...)

    I just finished making a vertical time config for rainmeter, quite pleased with it acutally. Needs to be about half the size it is now and some bits need cleaning up, but overall its there. hours-mins-secs in case it makes no sense.
