/wg/'s official DESKTOP THREAD #8
Post your desktop and rate others.
RULES:
- Don't make a new thread until the current one has reached 300 replies. (and state if you want to be OP in the next thread so there won't be 2 ODT at once)
- Avoid posting default setups. Read the sticky and try to rice at least a bit before posting.
- Keep civil manners, constructive criticism is best criticism.
- If you ask for rates, try to rate others at least once throughout the thread.
- Don't abuse of Rainmeter
Helpful stuff:
Sticky:
>>4667225 Windows ricing:
nanami-tan.info/ Wallpapers:
wallbase.cc AND
google.com (which is your friend, seriously)
VS:
deviantart.com Don't be afraid to ask stuff but look around the thread because your answer is probably already there.
>How do I make my taskbar look like that? Install a custom VS or bblean if on Windows, change wm if on linux (look up i3, awesome, dspwm or openbox), set fire to mac if on mac (loljk)
>Wat Firefox? Look up userchrome CSS and user style CSS and apply them with Stylish addon or Greasemonkey
For anything else check nanami-tan and remeber that you always need more rice.

No one has rated mine or commented to see if there's something I could change.
Any thoughts or opinions?
(Too lazy to delete my last post and upload again so here it is)
>>5691147 Oh and I did change something, and it's just the color of the clock to that light blue color - but it is not worth re-uploading again for that minor change.
>>5691667 I know! I never been this early either - it's weird.
Excellent desktop btw.
>>5691677 Antigone... brings back old memories.
Not really a fan of transparency
And all those rectangles on the top right are kind of distracting/weird looking

I wouldn't even care if like, say, one guy used it. But nearly 70% of the posters here seem to use it, and their desktops ALL look the exact fucking same. To make matters worse, they all circle jerk rate 8-10/10 each other's desktops, so it is like this never ending circle of smugness.

And as far as I know, the only way to change the name of the "documents" folder and videos/pictures/etc is to change items in the registry. I can try looking up where but I'm fairly certain that's where the names should be.
If they were in "favorites" you can easily rename them by right clicking and renaming. But those under "This PC" or w/e it might be called for you, can't be renamed that way - at least not in windows 8 which is what I'm using.

>>5696694 Thanks for the tips
Anonymous
>>5696711 In that case, it's really easy.
If you want to change the icons - use something like 7tsp to change your icons with an iconpack and it should change everything including the tree.
If you want to change the graphics of it like, say, the arrows that show up when expanding or shrinking the tree items, you need to modify the theme you might be using (aero if you're not using a 3rd party VS) using a resource hacker.
I wouldn't recommend the resource hacker route as it might be a lot more complicated than what you might be going after, but it's something fun to learn.
It's how I modified (
>>5696645 ) my explorer to have different color for drive bars. It can also be used to change everything else from icons to text size, font color, loading bars, scroll bars, etc.

>>5696723 I'd say using Style Builder instead of editing it in a resource editor is a good start.

>>5696889 That's always been the case here in /wg/ though - as long as I can remember.
Someone once in a while comes along and posts a really good deskterp everyone likes, and everyone goes nuts asking for him/her to share their setup.
Before long everyone starts copying that person's style rather than creating their own.
It's the reason people use rainmeter - not because it's useful or of any actual use, but because people here seem to like it and rate it highly so everyone goes crazy to try and get a 10/10 score like it's a competition.
I remember a year or so back someone here who went by the name of Synergy who everyone liked copying. He'd post his styles or wallpapers then in the next desktop thread you'd see everyone trying to make their deskterps look like his/her's.
I personally don't care what people think. I've gotten many high rates for desktops I barely liked and shit scores for ones that I really loved so I know better than to try to please people ricing my own desktop. I just Rice it for my personal taste, and it changes because my personal taste changes.
Now days it's rare to see people in desktop threads trying their own things/ making their own styles,scripts,etc. I think desktop threads would be much better if they strictly made ratings systems forbidden. That way there's less competition copying each other and more originality.

>>5697120 The best of ideas I can give are either:
1. Try to have a text place in the bottom left that says Trash Weight: and have it say the amount of kb/mb/gb of waste in the bin, having the ability to click the option to recycle everything or maybe open a shortcut to the bin in file explorer.
2. My other idea is kind of in the whole theme of skyrim, have a rainmeter that's completely blank if the bin is empty, but if you have items in it it displays just above the top bar "you are overencumbered" or something along those lines.
With, again, the option to recycle from that.
Those are just my ideas though. I'm sure you can come up with something better. I was just brainstorming about things that'd go well with the skyrim theme in general rather than just plucking a giant trash can in the middle.
