    Still new to Vista 64 bit on this laptop, though, and I'm dying to figure out a way to get rid of those shortcut arrows on those icons, and yet not have it screw up my games viewer thingie that Vista comes with.

    Wow, someone else has Second Life?

    Even better, they have the Release Client. Nice.

    Hey man, how well does it work with Vista 64?

    I spent about 2/3 hours today doing some much needed tidying up of my PC. My desktop was cluttered to high heavens, and I had a pretty ugly wallpaper.

    I culled hundreds on uneeded things from my start menu, and uninstalled a bunch of stuff too. Feels so nice.

    Docks are incredible and why did no one force me to get one ages ago?

    Clean if anyone wants it.

    Could someone please quote the images?

    Can I get a clean?

    Awesome, thanks. Does it [or Y! Widgets in general] use up much resources?

    Surprisingly stable, actually. I have no complaints yet, and unlike Ubuntu, Second Life doesn't crash when I minimize it.

    Also, I'm snagging Yahoo! Widgets as we speak, Here's to hoping I find something useful rather than just being eye candy.

    I want to start using BBlean, but I'd like to make some modifications. As retarded as the BlackBox community is, I'm finding it hard to get answers to the following, if anyone could point me in the right direction:

    How do I change the format of the clock in the taskbar?

    Also, how do I get rid of the arrows for switching between tasks and workspaces, and how do I get rid of the workspace switcher altogether, including the names (Alpha, Beta etc.) so that the taskbar is just tasks, system tray and clock?

    So, in the realisation that I liked the minimalism of BBLean/Clean, I decided to give it a go. Especially since there is no reason I can find that I need to be using Explorer instead.

    Clean:
    DesktopClean.jpg

    Somewhat Dirty:
    DesktopDirty.jpg

    I especially like the fact that the skinning engine is simply solid colours or gradients drawn on the fly. You can't use images to create themes, so they're all exceptionally simple, and the same can be sad for creating your own colour scheme, which I have done here.

    Sure, it'd possibly look better because it'd be true to form, but it definitely wouldn't go so well with my monochrome colour scheme.

    Thanks for posting it Centipeed.

    For anyone else:
    1. If you have a particularly snazzy desktop and you know people are likely to ask for the source, then post it with your screenshot. It'll help out a lot.

    Please.

    I had a bit of a play around with the clean version. How's this?

    Are the eyes too much? Would a flat red background be better than the gradient?
