random question, but how do you people navigate stuff on your desktop if you don't leave your files and your icons on your desktop? tried fiddling around with rainmeter in the past but i realised how inconvenient it was to lack folders and icons..

I just have a generic Olivia Wilde background. but the cool part is I have Zmatrix running in the background so that the matrix is always running down the screen with Olivia Wilde reflected through it. I'll edit my post when I get home to my desktop and show a picture but I enjoy it a lot. And you don't really get the full effect from a still shot.

Oh.. i see. watched through the video already. but im a little confused, when some people post their desktops in the thread, there are some of them with absolutely clean desktops and just rainmeter stuff. Is it just that they minimised the dock to make it cleaner?

My current desktop :

For some reason I have a ton of wallpapers I like for my 1900x1200 screen but I have a harder time finding good ones for my smaller screen... I guess the quality just shows much better when there's nothing else on the screen to destroy the look.

Going for a progressively colder look... next month I'll probably have something with ice.

The rainmeter is just a basic skin from the main site.

I keep stuff I actually need available on my taskbar, there's Rainmeter launcher skins, you can even make them invisible until you mouseover. You can hide your taskbar. There's various ways to keep a clean desktop and still find stuff easily.

In fact, it's easier, back when I used icons, I left everything on my desktop for when I'd need it, and could never find anything with 50 icons to dig through. Quick search is much easier, or windows key + "r" to run.

Also : Libraries.

So easy to organize everything. In XP I had my own folders that organized everything on my desktop but it's much more convenient now.

I haven't gotten Gimp on this comp yet - I just installed 7 because SotS2 doesn't run on XP. Expect something with a better theme next month.

You can autohide the dock so it only comes up when you mouseover, personally I just found a rocketdock skin and icon pack that fits in well with my rainmeter stuff and my background. I keep my downloads/documents folders and desktop icon on there along with frequently used programs like steam and starcraft, just search for everything else.

I've just started messing around with rainmeter a bit for the last couple of weeks and this is the first desktop were I feel I could keep it for a while. I'll 100% be adding/changing things in the future, but may as well post it now. The idea behind it is I want a very simple combination of picture/skins, clean, crisp, and easy to navigate as it says in the desktop guide in the OP

Clock/Date, System Vitals and RSS feed (BBC news) from the '2019' rainmeter skin pack.
Notes skin (Quotes) from the 'Space' rainmeter skin pack. There's nothing special about this particular 'notes' skin, it's just one that I had modified already and so put it on my current desktop.
Taskbar is the ObjectDock (free version) as in the OP.


For someone asking earlier, I have the normal windows taskbar on 'auto-hide', so when I touch the bottom of the screen with the cursor, the taskbar comes up as usual.

Perhaps I'll have a complete desktop by the December thread ^_^
