it's only a bbc news 24 widget. i tried it myself and it's pretty crap really.

I like it, since I don't have a TV in my home office it means that I can have News24 on in the background. True it's nothing special, but it is my favorite widget.

it's just too small. it would be nice if you could detach if from the sidebar and have a slightly bigger version.

It's News24, it's not really for watching, more for listening

I do agree about the size though, it does have zoom options listed in the preferences, but they are disabled. Hopefully that's something that will come with later versions.

Here's mine, nothing too fancy but it's got everything I want on it without filling up too much of the screen with crap.

If I ever can afford 2 monitors the same it'll look even better! Me wants 2 Twenty Two's!!!!

EDIT: not sure why there's stars in that. It meant to be i hate aol (one word) :confused:

I use Display Fusion. Freeware app for Dual Monitor wallpapers etc. You can have a different one on each as well. Pretty cool. Found a link on here somewhere or just Googled, can't remember.

EDIT.....

Lol Modjo. Your link has upset the forum somehow.

yep indeed, I had to look on interfacelift though to check lol.

Yeah so did I!

I downloaded it earlier and noticed it was in Canada. Got family there so when I spotted Canada it got my attention.

decided dual screens were taking up too much room, and I couldn't fit my new speaker system on my desk, so here is my desktop now:

Link for that desktop?

And btw PowerDemon no need to quote the whole pic. Just erase the URL and write "snip" or something. Helps to keep the thread tidy.

<my desktop piccie>

I wasn't brilliantly happy with that image, so I've fiddled with the colour settings in PS, as it was a bit washed out...

...look better now?

I may have made it a bit too red/bright.

yes her nose looks a bit too red now.

and whats with the windows classic theme?

Yeah, the original isn't the best of images to work with, very dull on colour and she is slightly red, so playing with the settings makes her too red, is a shame as her hair looks awesome like that.

I don't like XP themes and I don't like skins as my system is a retard and is slow as it is...plus it's clean and simple.
