    I have two monitors hooked up to my system, one upper and one lower, here's the desktops. The one on the left is my upper monitor, the right is my lower, these pictures were taken at the windfarm I was recently erecting. They were taken in February 2007:

    I am running XP Pro and neither the sidebar or Rocket Dock appear to have slowed things down much.

    It's only a bit of fun and tidier than those screens with all the messy shortcuts pasted everywhere.

    Awesome...which sidebar did you use? Is that the link Halo posted? Yours looks much better than the screenshot of the one in Halo's link.

    Just a heads up. I tried the sidebar and it did slow my PC down...but it is a 5 yr. old 1.8GHZ P4 with only 512MB RAM. The Object Dock works fine with it tho.

    Pentium M 1.7ghz and 512mb here on a 2 year old insurance replaced FS Amilo Pro V2040 laptop.

    I have 'tweaked' it with the help of MG but it's up to each individual to suss out if ANY application has detrimental effects to their machine.

    Suck it and see......:p:p:major

    Yes it may as you can use skins on it to make it look different, Dougster will no doubt tell you the one he used.


    But others are available at the home site of that app http://www.desktopsidebar.com/ , just click on the right side menu The Extension Exchange and you will find loads of various themes.

    "Royale-Mettalic-Compact" for Sidebar, "Vista" for Rocket Dock and "Modern Aluminum" on Firefox.

    Looks good Laura. :cool

    As I said I was only messing about with the sidebar and I too don't really see a need.

    Probably go back to using Rainlendar with Rocket Dock.

    :) Thanks

    I like the look of Rainlender, but my outlook pops on my calender stuff up.

    I'm finding Windows Live Messenger hangs a bit after minimizing to Rocket Dock.

    Anyone else?

    @Muskie, if you see a gadget I using just holler as I will send if you dont already have it.

    There was another Bin Gadget but this one we both using is a goodun I feel, I'm like you have all icons off desktop.

    @halo and muskie

    I was just going to ask muskie about that gadget. I downloaded thoose (sp.), but it didn't have the icons off the desktop. It looks like you are using that. Is that just for Vista? I was using it with XP.
     
  49. musksnipe

    musksnipe Guest

    We're using the Vista Sidebar and gadgets, Laura. The App Launcher is the one you need for putting your icons into. Drag the .exe icons into App Launcher, then you can delete your desktop shortcuts.
    This is supposed to work for XP.
