Gaieus

So far, I like jarynzlesa's best.

Here is mine (you asked for it)

Holy crap Gai! You gotta be kidding?!

Gaieus

Well, I regularly clean up though so most of the stuff there is just temporary crap.

I'm like Csaba! Here's today's Desktop I know where everything is! Or at least HAL does...

This is a fascinating insight into the minds of the ingenius and inept. It's akin to wearing speedos or bermudas.

I've quite a mess too...I periodically sort out the icons, but I've always a lot of apps running (usually even two mail clients and two browsers at same time )

A blue one for no distraction at the opening!

Thanks. I have actually been looking for something like that for long. Currently no budget for the Pro version but even the free looks promising!

All you need is Launchy

be careful with it. I tried it out, and after awhile it kept causing faults in explorer.exe... I don't know if they ever fixed that.

Here's mine. I go for the minimalist look, this is sort of a custom made deal. Made the background in photoshop from a concept I found on Vladstudio. The big face in the middle is basically the Vimeo icon (not that I'm a big vimeo user, I just like the icon). The big ol' clock, date, and computer info are some modified elements using Rainmeter. I have a dual 23.5" monitor setup.

I really liked Launchy in the XP days. Now, Win7 has made it obsolete. Just hit the windows key and start typing your app. I don't really like pinning apps to the taskbar so I created a little folder with the stuff I mostly use and put them in a little home on the right side of the taskbar.

Mine used to look like Gai's and TIG's...but a lot less tidy. I had to reload the system over the weekend, so it now looks like this...and I intend to keep it that way. That intent will probably last as long as any New Year resolution I've ever made.
