To get everyone started off...here is my desktop. No, I can't win. Yet another reason why you should install Linux.

This is running debian linux/kanotix (my new favourite distro) with superkaramba and kde 3.2.2

My desktop is a 3d sphaper, you can put windows 360 around you and 360 up and down. I find it cool and makes it easer to uses 1000 windows at the same time. may not look the best but is cool.

i will post my other comps some day as well...

hah, it's an interesting concept, but I find it useless. I'm having trouble trying to read text when it's on the angle like that as in your screenshot

hehe, thats pretty cool, isn't the task bar easier?

Dan · **Posted:** Thu May 13, 2004 8:36 pm

well i mean alot of docs, and when u clikc on one it zooms up to fill the screen or part of it so reading them is np.

like for my java FP i got 22 diff class files so far, more then fills up my task bar.

That would be kind of useful, when I do programming, like websites, especially php, I end up with like 3 levels of taskbar, (it gets little scroll bars) where can I get this program?

Come now people. We have two entries, both of which are mods, so therefor you are competing with ZERO people for the prizes.

To take a screenshot in windows, press print screen, open paint, press ctrl+v, and save it as whatever.png

Come now, if you are reading this you clearly have a computer and therefor a desktop to take a screenshot of.
