The program itself is called Rainmeter One of my applications was that digital clock. Blue Vision V0.2 - Lots of good looking things, CPU/Clock/Etc... I only used the clock for this. If you need help setting it up let me know via PM / Visitor Message.
Currently Kakashi's sharingan, because all the pretty things I'd WANT to use are either too inappropriate or personal for a computer that I share with the family. :33 EVENTUALLY I will have a laptop. And it will be good.
In honour of choclatechip, he's my favourite guy cause he makes me laugh and I'm all like haha when I laugh and I get to smile too.

*fangasm* Hmm, seconds ago I had a neon-styled Derpy Hooves wallpaper. Now I have this: Spoiler: Awesome.
Spoiler: New Desktop I'm a pack rat and recently added an old monitor to my rig. I can multitask now like a boss Spoiler: Actual Desktop Actual works space. I don't have a camera so I had to use my phone. I couldn't fit it all in.
KSeafoam This is neither from the computer nor from the OS I'm using right now, but I'd like to show it to you: Spoiler: Behold my Lady of the Dolphins The OS is Chakra Linux which comes with KDE as the desktop environment, so what you see there is KDE 4.7.1 with a somewhat modified layout. The wallpaper was made by SirPayne whom you can find on DeviantArt and based on Kooner01's Seafoam vector. Now, having a Seafoam wallpaper isn't remotely sufficient when you can customise your desktop environment beyond that. So I gave it Seafoam's colours as well with the help of the little colour picker you can see right of the desktop folder window. (You should be able to tell by now that I like her a lot.)
I see some KDE user here. I used KDE back on Open suse linux. although, I've moved to Ubuntu 11.04 (which I use now along side Windows 7), with Unity gui (which is basically "tuned up" Gnome) although, I like Gnome, only thing I really miss from Open Suse was KDE gui. it's just so awesome
Odd place to ask but I've been looking to use what parts I have here to build an HTPC and I've been wanting to give Ubuntu a go. How does it fare in terms of media use? I've used Linux in the past but it's not as friendly as I'd like it to be for this sort of thing.
I went the other way around, sort of. When even more usability and customisation options were axed from Gnome and Ubuntu was quick to abandon Gnome 2 altogether, I migrated my more powerful desktops to KDE. It's actually not that much of a performance hog as long as you don't crank up the compositor to insane levels. I've read somewhere that PCLinuxOS is currently the top KDE distro, also because it's half-rolling. I've already thought about installing it somewhere, but I don't want to remove Chakra yet, now that it's working more and more smoothly for me, and I've never stayed with RPM-based distros for long. The other Linux distro on the same machine is Mint KDE Edition, by the way (just not ponified yet). My remaining two Ubuntu installs are on comparatively weak machines, so I'm using LXDE as the desktop environment. Could post a ponified LXDE later. Add the Medibuntu repository, and you're fine. It even gives you the CSS library for commercial DVDs if you feel like installing it. I'm not quite sure, but I think there's another repository for XBMC, in case you want to base your box on it (warning, requires a decent graphics card). Linux Mint comes with Medibuntu out of the box, but unlike Ubuntu which it's based on, Mint isn't recommended to be dist-upgraded. They want you to re-install your box twice a year to stay up-to-date. You can dist-upgrade it, but it requires some nerves.
Cutie Mark Crusaders! Yay! decided I needed a change, and Scootaloo, AppleBloom and SweetieBelle were it.
And this is why I've never been a fan of using Linux. In any case, thanks. Option 1 seems to be the route I'll take. I still have my 4890 standing by so the GPU thing shouldn't be an issue.
