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.

Or that you are too lazy to be a real man and open up the exe from a file program like I do...:D

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)

But im lazy and damn proud of it :D no way in this life am i gonna spend five minutes scrolling through the start menu for ever program i need, especially with the number i have in there.  I cant even see the whole list at any one time.  I dont have that much time, which is why i have so many shortcuts.

(Note, since i took up the 158th project, my HDD went from 3 gig used to 7.8 with 16 new programs and accessories)

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:

No way I upload mine. Not until I get that image polished and released (and sold for lots of money).:D

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.

I think every PSP before 6 used to let you keep going post 30 days. My version of PSP4 used to say 'You are on day: 376 of your 30 day trial'. It was amusing.

The old Winzip (probably the new ones, too), had a little running display in the nag window where it would rapidly count up the days it's gone past the expiration date at about 30 a second. I haven't seen it stop in the past year, and I actually waited to see at one point.;)

My family's computer (which I use) desktop just has a bunch of trees in the background.


My own computer just have the default setting.

BTW, how do you take pictures of desktops?

And since my desktop is terrible and the laptop I use is only soso, well, it's sure nothing to p1mp...:(
