Here's mine. Hardly ever changes though lol. The samurize setup on the far right is my popular years old one, which I've spent the past 2 days reworking into a sidebar.

Large

Edit: Tweaked the sidebar a bit.

Can someone please help me, how do I create a brill looking desktop like this ?

Hi there,

Well first of all I suggest you have a look at Dru's excellent Windows Customisation Guide: Click Here

For the theme you will find that the UX Theme Patch and Windows Blinds are good (both in the customisation guide i believe).

For the calendar and notes in the bottom right I think you will find he will be using a program like AveDesk (found in customisation guide)

For the right sidebar Kainz will be using one of his own Configs with Samurize which you should be able to find on the Samurize website if Kainz has posted it.

Hope this helps!

Thanks...

Does anyone remember where those 3D AMD logos came from?

You know they had the different chip logos, they looked really good, cant find them anywhere

Want the Opteron at 1280x1024 if possible

Hiya, the desktop is nothing special. The icons/notepad are from as mentioned Avedesk. The sidebar is my own, still being tweaked a great deal (the one in pic is an older one).

The Calendar is the brilliant Longhorn Systray Clock

Wallpaper can be found Here
On my screens it's just streched via Ultramon.

Downloaded a normal bog standard photograph and played about with it in Photoshop to customize it to my liking!

Windows: Azenis, no toolbar. Windowsblinds 5
Folder icon set: Mad-B shineyblack (with a few custom ones for cd drives and hdd's)

Firefox is a skin called Brushed. With custom layout.

Dock is objectdock plus, I have no idea what the ocions are, I went on a mad download spree yesterday and shoved everything in one folder. Also made a few custom ones (bit comet,winamp, the clock is just a plain box with "simple digital clock docklet", recycle bin is made by me, also did a photoshop one but found the set had a premade one)

Mine:

Its clean because I have PSP'ed the desktop icons and taskbar.
Using Samurize (after 6 months without it), my own skin + Weather etc.
Wallpaper is one I made in 5 minutes yesterday to (kind of) match the rest of the desktop.
