Full sized version (1920x1200) is at http://thor.pauleagles.com/ocuk/desktop-full.jpg

The wallpaper is a picture of the mosaic laid in memorial of John Lennon in Central Park, I took the picture when I was there a couple of weeks ago.

I'm trying to get my email accounts as a skin, if possible using outlook express. I am using rainmeter for RSS feeds (gizmodo, bbc news and engadget), weather, time and system stats and ideally would like to use just 1 programme to include email and the earlier elements. Is it possible to do this with rainmeter or is there a skin I can use to do it all in one (this isnt impossible to set up!)

Here's mine, could never get samurize to work the way I wanted though sadly.

Messiah Khan · 29 Nov 2005 at 12:24

What theme is that?

Paramount · 29 Nov 2005 at 13:20

Rogue

I love it. On a side note, which Mac style launcher does everyone prefer? I just tried RKLauncher buts its so annoying, it keeps disappearing when I press the goto desktop button, then it closes firefox, and randomly reappears when I move my mouse to the url bar.

Messiah Khan · 29 Nov 2005 at 13:58

Thank ye sir

With Mac style launcher do you mean dock program? If so, I use YZdock

I've used both YZDock and RK Launcher and they both seem to be exactly the same :confused:

Even all of the settings and docklet options etc.

Used YZDock for quite a while and didn't like it. Been using RK launcher for about a week and i've now decided it's exactly the same as YZDock so no longer use it.

And I used to use Aquadock, which was exactly the same as YZdock, except with less support. Are there actually any that are different then? Personally I find YZdock suits my needs, it does have some annoying habbits, but its not too bad.

I tried ObjectDock about a year ago which i found was ok but the free trial ran out you see

Don't know of any others.

They're not quite exactly the same. One major difference is that RK Launcher behaves more like Mac OS X's dock, by representing minimised windows by a screen capture thumbnail. ObjectDock also does this, but it doesn't put the recycle bin/trash in the same place as Mac OS X's dock does.

Messiah Khan · 30 Nov 2005 at 10:22

Is it not possible to just move the recycle bin on the dock? In YZdock I just copied the recycle bin off the desktop to the dock, then removed the recycle bin off the desktop. Does the trick nicely.

I didn't say you couldn't put the bin on the dock, I said it isn't in the same place as OS X puts it, ie. to the far right of thumbnailed minimised windows. ObjectDock specifically excludes this feature so as to not fall foul of Apple's litigious legal team.

Messiah Khan · 30 Nov 2005 at 12:24

I didn't mean putting it on the dock, I meant is it not possible to move its position on the dock?

dirtydog · 30 Nov 2005 at 12:34

Ah - well yes you can move it but as I said, not to the same position as OS X has it, and with minimised thumbnail windows. In fact YzDock does not include the thumbnail feature at all.
