Is that XP with a Vista style theme, mate? The docks look pretty cool
I got the picture from Tourist Trophy, that's me riding a Honda CBR 600RR around High Speed Ring - my favourite track, ever since Gran Turismo 1 or 2 when it came in.
On the right hand side you can see Vista telling me the excellent local weather 
Note: I don't live in Witney, that's just one of the nearest weather station things or wherever they get their readings from. It's only a couple of miles away so it's about right for where I am.

XP with the Royal Noir mod.
Rocket dock on top - Object dock on bottom.
If you like hiding the icons like I do check out DeskSweeper. It sets in the tray and is just a quick click to show or hide the desktop icons.

Thanks for that mate, but I just use the quick launch toolbar. I find it quick and very convenient. I also have my taskbar set to auto hide.

I just realized my pic makes me look bad because I have something in my recycle bin
If you look in the tray, you can see the network icon with the little pic of earth on it, which means that there is an internet connection available. Unfortunately, though, it doesn't do the flashy thing that XP does when there's network activity, which I really liked  You can set it to do an "activity animation" but all that is is the little screens flash in turn, and is really really annoying.

Yes, that`s very nice indeed.
I`d love to be able to do stuff like that, but I`m not in the slightest creative when it comes to art.
