My desktop, straight and simple.
This is my XP background right now, plain and simple. I'm not too big on icons, so you'll find my icon arsenal rather scanty. Also, I hardly ever use XP theme/skinning progs. like Windows Blinds or Theme XP anymore. I long grew tired of them, and the XP silver theme suits me just fine....
Remember, do not judge a man by his desktop. As long as it's nice to look at, it's fine

Thnx Ben. Yours is really good too.
BTW, I really liked the M4 Plex skin that came with Windows Blinds at first. One of my pals was so crazy about it when it first came out.
Pity the active progs. on the task bar were not centred like they will be in the real Longhorn. Oh well.

nope, it's a theme for xp. i got it from themexp.org
http://www.themexp.org/preview.php?m...+UltraBlue.zip
there seems to be a bug that causes the add/remove programs utility not to work when this theme is on. according to that page the bug was fixed, but i still experience it...
Edit: the ver i linked above is ver 1.6. the newest ver is 1.8 and is below. come's with a new sidebar, Yzdock and aquadock, plus a few bugs fixes:

I 'boosted' the wallpaper from DeviantART, 'the' place I always go for digital artwork 
The taskbar style is the Royal Five Color Mod from StyleXP.org
Winamp skin is MMD3 from Winamp.com's skin section
And I'm using the alpha version of Trillian Pro 3

 It's a fellow retro skin supporter!  Hey man, I love using antique skins too, heck, I still can't get enough of JRS, I know it's so old it's coughin out dust, but dude, that skin rox!!!
Starting up:
Playing:
I do change skins alot, but, strangely enought, somehow I just keep coming back to it. And MMD3 is hella cool, no surprise they let the guy who do it do the Winamp 5 base skin!
