PicasaThe first two are my old desktop under xoblite, which I miss, and the last is my current one.
In the newest shot, those gadgets are Google Desktop running. That web clips gadget is sweet, especially in keeping up with this forum; it grabs RSS feeds in webpages you visit automatically, but you can still exclude whatever you want. It's like roll-your-own-newsreader-without-doing-anything. Also visible is their Gmail-in-a-gadget gadget, which I use to trash messages I don't care about without opening a browser.
I normally don't have that many desktop icons, but I've been playing with Chrome's Application Shortcut option, I'm sure they'll be gone soon.
I love xoblite, as well, but there were certain things about it that got to me eventually. I still have my installation folder and all old settings, so I can get back to it pretty much instantly, which rules.
Thread bumped after a month's rest. I'm like a NECROMANCER
WISE FWOM YOW GWAVEEDIT: Nice Royale Black, Arc. In that vein, has anyone here had any luck with custom XP themes, the kind you can get at customize.org that require the UX3-patcher-thingy to work? That was the missing piece of my xoblite puzzle for a long time; I was never happy that my Windows interface colors couldn't match my xoblite style.
