Like… no icons except the recycle bin (which I could get rid of if I wanted). I can access anything I want via my programs menu, which is very meticulously arranged.
you might have figured it out from the screenshot, but i have a widescreen laptop, hence the winamp along the side, while i can run a browser window alongside it at what would be fullscreen on a normal monitor. and yes, the winamp playlist is 80% opaque… just enough to give me the not-quite-there illusion.
full size requires a click, if you couldn’t figure it out. (beware dial-up users… full-size picture is 1.09mb, 1280×800)
June 6, 2006 at 3:23 am #48227williamleeMemberTigerblade I noticed your taskbar is differnt then any i have seen is there a way to alter the looks of your taskbar? if so do you mind telling me how to do this?
June 6, 2006 at 3:28 am #47996TigerbladeParticipantmy taskbar is actually just the green version of the standard xp theme. in xp, right click your desktop, go to properties, then “appearance” and select “Olive Green” from the “Color Scheme” dropdown box. that’s it. i happen to really like green (my laptop cover is green, my background and trillian are green, my site is accented with green, etc) much more than the default blue, so it works for me.
i tried stylexp and a few of those other programs a while back, didn’t really get into any of them.

I hate large taskbars! My rule of thumb, must be as big or smaller than my cursor height, the standard cursor too, not enlarged ones.Tigerblade, I win 0 icons :P, hate ’em as well.
June 6, 2006 at 10:48 am #48169MrEggsaladParticipantWell, here is how I work. With my new 20″ widescreen monitor as my main and work screen (with my trillian list on it), and my old 15″ has the all teh IM windows and the other contact lists + mIRC. The full size is like 1MB, so if your connection isn’t too great…wait unless you really just don’t care :p Oh, and I don’t like stuff like Windowblinds and those programs, tried a few and I really dislike them. XP Silver for me. I did make the wallpaper there, that is the updated widescreen version if some had seen my first.
