Welcome back, puchu.

My desktop is too plain (just like me) - anyway this is my office laptop and not permitted any wallpapers. At office, the company's official wallpaper and screen-saver load up.

The wallpaper is blend of three custom wallpapers made with paint dot net.

Some registry tweaks to hide the taskbar(2nd screen posted).

stardock object dock- for the menu bar towards the bottom of the screen and the left menu .


The right menu is yahoo widgets.

Some windows themes...............

That's all

awesome result.

If you like luxurious houses, fast bikes, delicious food, elegant clothing, then why not a desktop which looks like a hi-tech spaceship control panel. If you have the resources why not use them to the fullest.

If I give you a Lamborghini won’t you use it because it’s hard to drive? You know the answer.
