						Hey all,
 
I've recently just gotten into desktop modifying and messing around with how my computer looks. I'm wondering what programs you guys like to use. I had sysmetrix running, but it caused... a lot of crashing issues. Anyone know of similar programs? Anyway, I know there was a post a while back about showing your desktop, but here I'd like to see the modifications or just visual changes and what programs you used  . Heres mine
 
 
 
 
 
I used objectdock to create the 3 dock bars. They're actually all hidden so it's just the background and rec. bin, but i combined three screenshots to show you what each contains. The side contains commonly used applications, the bottom is essentially my taskbar. Firefox is here too because I can't seem to break the habit my quicklaunch bar had me following to open a browser window, and the right hand side is my tray.

						litestep and aston shell are the best ones imo.
 
aston shell is easy to use and aimed at everyone,
 
litestep is more complicated but gives you more freedom in modification.

						sYn, theres an option in Dock Settings to hide the windows task bar. 
 
 
whoKnows, that's fucking wicked. I always loved the macOS setup, I might create another profile to mess with that.

						No major difference but there is something special about the GUI, for some reason I want to do more coding, and such crazy stuff. The small bar at the bottom is cute  : ),
 
 
About getting it to work, its just an installer like for games.
