imo, it looks like a waste of time and HDD space, since ive already got my icons & stuff dealt with by rocketdock.

pics soon to come, once they upload.

*glares in jealousy*  *runs off to get rainmeter*

where did you get that wallpaper?  :rofl:

EDIT: got rainmeter.  This is what I got so far.  Still a work in progress, I need to fix the weather skin but other then that I like it so far. I'm thinking of adding a second clock at the bottom too just so I don't have to minimize the window to check the time.

I am going to change the background and mess with it a little more.  I'll post results when I'm done.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay I'm practically done now.

All I have left to do is to change a couple of icons.  Some changes that I made:
-got rid of launchy.  I didn't need it and it wasn't working right anyways.  I like it better without it anyways
-I added a small clock to the lower right side of the desktop.
-fixed the weather, RSS feeds
-got rid of the hard drive indicator on the lower left side of the desktop.
-add a start menu button on the lower left side of the desktop for the few times I have to use it.  I'm planning on taking a picture of the desktop without it and then edit an icon out of the lower left part where it currently is to make it "invisible".  It's better then having the whole start bar.
-changed background.

for those of you wondering where I found the theme for my base
