Simplicity, my friends... simplicity.
See what I mean the render genius spoke out and gave his gold away....simplicity..thats how he does his renders ;), using 12 programs to make a model for fs2 is stupid. To say the least, having so many icons, just says your to slack to use the start bar (20+). All I have are about 6-8 icons plus my four shortcut keyboard keys and my work becomes much smoother, and I get less distracted. As for chat progs it withers your life away.
::end communication::
I have no more comments neither will I commit any more time to such a pointless argument. have a good day :) :p

Hmmm. In light of this I think it's time for me to buy a new processor. My PIII 500 struggles with Winamp and Yahoo Messenger. Although Winamp is on full decoding with 16-bit sound, full stereo and a ****-load of other wasteful options.

My processor (athlon 1400) works fine in games with only Trillian open, along with the standard explorer and systray programs. I always like maximum performance when playing games.;) (which is why I did some heavy overclocking, lol:D)

One of the features of XP is the ability to turn off those icons because they're all on the new Start Menu. :)
I have them on my desktop (It was the first thing I did after installing XP) because the old ways are so ingrained into my brain that its difficult to change them. I even open the Hard Drive icon on my desktop and go up a level to My Computer to open a CD-ROM by right-clicking it and selecting 'Open' occasionally because while I could disable automatic AutoRun I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to disable AutoRun from occuring after double-clicking the CD icon.

Hey, at least I used HTML to size mine down :)
We need lvlshot back but I guess thats one of things thats on the backburner right now...
Oh and for users of Windows versions less than XP theres a way to get rid of the ugly patches of desktop colour from behind your icon titles:
http://people.ne.mediaone.net/jguerette/transparent/
Just dump a shortcut to it in your StartUp folder such:
{path to program}\Transparent.exe /R100
and you're golden.
edit: btw it doesn't take up all that many system resources, I used to run it back when I ran Win2k:

I used to have that purply city-sphere jellyfish thing, bring that up and it'll suffice. Nothing else fancy, except a startling number of expired shareware programs that weren't built to lock themselves after the set date.

As you can see from the screenie it worked perfectly fine for me. Had it not been made unnecessary by M$ (finally) including the feature in XP I'd still be using it.
As some of you already guessed, Setekh did that render, I grabbed it when he put it up here (and subsequently p1mped it on the VBB). I did resize it down to 800x600 though, Windows own resize routine made it look like crap.

The bad thing about lvlshot is that its nowhere near as good as a true thumbnail image as far as loading time is concerned. Especially if you're on dial-up like me...in which this thread takes FOREVER to load.
