Just pin it to the taskbar for a cleaner look. [editline]02:18PM[/editline] [QUOTE=ClaBrendon;20848320]My weather gadget for Rainmeter broke. Had to find another one. Thumbed.

Less shortcuts would look better.

Thanks for the tip. I also made my system tray smaller. Here's what it looks like now: [img]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/90dc00desktop.png[/img] What next?

Yeah, it's time consuming but it will still probably take less time than finding the right skin online to match the look you're going for. It's also not that hard. The [URL="http://rainmeter.net/Manual.htm"]rainmeter manual[/URL] is excellent and has tons of examples to help you get started.

[QUOTE=Communist Cake;20862951] Is Rainmeter a good idea? Also, how do I make the desktop icons bigger?[/QUOTE] I must say, that's fucking amazing for XP. Looks really nice. One thing though: If you're gonna use rainmeter, use a less cluttered wallpaper, or one that compliments the widgets, otherwise it'll look messy.

[QUOTE=Larikang;20863737]I don't like your RSS rainmeters. It's just a big wall of ugly text. [/QUOTE] Compliments the minimal style of the other widgets and looks nice in a utilitarian sort of way. I'm not about to go editing the font or adding borders or some shit like that, they would make it horrendously ugly. They're quite nice to use too, I often take a look at them when I've got nothing else to do.

Feels like it is missing something.... [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4989932/qweeeeeeeeerfef.png[/img]

[img]http://i40.tinypic.com/1z6ruaf.png[/img] Some of those rocket dock icons I made myself. Small victory. :v:

I would like to know why Rizzo/Pixelheart insists on continuing to post in a place he's most certainly unwelcome and despised it's almost like masochism if this completely baffles you also rate me agree and perhaps he will then get the message

Attention/Box whoring to be honest.

[QUOTE=Chris220;20852583]Improvement for above: Get rid of most/all of the icons. Icons are by far the ugliest thing on anyone's desktop (usually)[/QUOTE] Okay, any more suggestions?

[QUOTE=TippZ;20873190]Okay, any more suggestions?[/QUOTE] I can't see your start button/task bar, so I can't suggest a theme or whatever. Shortcut docks and desktop widgets can look good, if you choose nice ones.
