the icons are tiny, i have a tiny screen.

in all honesty, i just don't use my desktop anymore. i access all my games through steam, and i have so many little applications i use for various things i just type the name in the search bar and it starts. i haven't even looked at my desktop in over 3 months

I hate wallpapers as well, they become to bright for my eyes whenever I wake up early in the morning and just seem like they slow my system down.

It contains all my programs and batch files for idling in Team Fortress 2. I just click one thing, and I am in a server idling in 30 seconds and I can still do other things on my computer.

My idling shortcut is labeled "Team Fauxtress 2". :3

It is my favorite car. Gotta love a 440 magnum. Or I suppose it's supposed to be the 426 hemi in the movie. Either way, kickass car, kickass engine, kickass movie.

Well we all know how fond I am at customizing everything I use; custom skins, cool effects so here is my desktop:

Desktop photoz - Page 2 Desktopscreenie

https://s582.photobucket.com/albums/ss267/sgtpepper17/?action=view&current=desktopscreenie.png

What, suprised? Allow me to explain; when I am using my PC I hardly see my desktop because I always have windows open in fullscreen so I don't see the logic behind all the desktop eyecandy. As for opening programs I have learned some simple tricks: winkey + [number] opens a program pinned on the taskbar (in my case: 1 winamp, 2 firefox, 3 explorer), winkey+r opens the run window which I use for office, system tools etc and finally there is the search indexer in win7 which is perfect to find that one program you hardly ever use. Just open the startmenu and type what you need, do that all the time. In fact I never use the 'All Programs' thing in the start menu xD

I did used to have a lot of eyecandy, rainmeter, objectdock and custom windows skins but when I witched to win7 I just didn't felt the urge anymore. Besides like I said, when you only see your desktop when you boot the PC there is no need for eyecandy :p

Whoops, I forgot to share you guys my HTC which basically is my second laptop Embarassed

I got rid of the default HTC TouchFlo yesterday because I felt like doing some customization so I installed SPB Shell which allows me to do everything myself. Writing apps however is hard because this program is closed source and does not come with an SDK -.-
(Screenshots made with MyMobiler; windows program that shows and allows you to your phone screen from your PC)

Home screen:
Desktop photoz - Page 2 Screen01

1) Phone settings
2) Internet stuff
3) Main home/today screen
4) Media players (need to find a non Windows Media Player widget for it).
5) Programs I often use including TomTom, Paint, games and a flashlight.

Other cool stuff:
Desktop photoz - Page 2 Screen10

1) Nitrogen, my main music player. Extremely finger friendly =D
2) World clock: Oss, Netherlands; New York, USA and Paramaribo, Suriname. Last one because a deer friend of mine lives there.
Number 3 is my main home/today page, however when I drag the screen to the left or right I can change to one of those.
3) Current local weather and forecast; gotta love GPS n.n
4) Favorite contacts, hardly use this screen because I pressing the call button and typing the first few letters of the person is a lot faster.
5) Program Browser, only useable for looking up the programs I hardly ever use Razz
