Obligatory desktop thread

[Asher]

Much, monolith.

I still absolutely detest how Apple puts that toolbar always up at the very top.

Why is it so difficult to attach the toolbar to the window it controls?

[monolith94]

I figure it gives more flexibility with creating software...
Not that I really know anything about this - I just have grown used to it, it feels totally normal to me. It should - I've been using it for 13+ years...
Additionally, I should also note that I've been using pcs since then as well. yes, I know DOS
so I'm not just one of those mac people who ONLY knows mac - I've tried both and generally prefer apple's OS.

Hmm. The toolbar is at the top because some people like it there.

[monolith94]

Nice, Ag - if a bit conventional... I like seeing graphic converter in your tool bar, although I never got aquisition to work for me... perhaps because I'm behind a college firewall?
What kind of rig do you have? the new 17" imac or something fancier?

No. I have an indigo imac that is three years old. I will get a new ibook sometime in the next two years but this imac runs just fine on half a gig of RAM and there is no point in replacing it since it does all I want it to do and since I installed OS X (must be nearly two years ago) it has never crashed.

I must say I like Candybar - well worth the 12 bucks.

The dark reddish background is animated, but it won't show in a jpg. I usually have winamp3 running in the background and I use an AVS color overlay to make the edge of the screen have a fire effect. It's pretty cool but I have no idea how to get a screen of it.

Ack! How can you folks stand the icons? I turn them off and put a desktop toolbar (drop down menu). Nothing better than an icon free desktop.

[H Tower]

some are good, others bad. like animation shop or the 3D viewer, those should probably be deleted. AIM+, stellapolaris map builder and the pbem utility could be set aside too. it's been a while since i've cleaned my desktop of unused icons

Same here. I use Desktop Architect to turn them off; all the icons I need are on the Quick Launch toolbar. My Computer and My Documents are run off the Start Menu.
