Great thread. Threi may I ask you which Windows 7 theme style you're using in the first screenshot of your desktop?
Err well the actual Visual Style is just a minor mod of the default Win7 VS: http://garbanzox.deviantart.com/art/AeroPlain-for-Windows-7-125999931

the Orb is here: http://ap-graphik.deviantart.com/art/Win8-orb-black-edition-205020472

instructions on how to change the Orb are in the OP

and the Rainmeter config (upper right corner) is this skin: http://lilshizzy.deviantart.com/art/Rainmeter-Encoded-v1-2-2-215992941
 
I see that a bunch of you guys have a gmail icon on your taskbar.

What program does that link to? Is there an actual gmail program or is that just a custom icon that points to, say, mozilla thunderbird, for example?

open up your gmail inbox in chrome

Yo, anyone know where I can get high resolution non shitty compressed wallpapers? Everything on deviantart looks like an artifacty mess when I use it on my monitor.

Thanks Threi

Yeah I'm positive I'm using the right res. Will have to look and see if I can find something worthwhile.

I have three constant desktop spaces with each cycling through their own set of wallpapers. Dedicated full screen apps have really helped me cut down on the spaces I need (used to run five).

Here's most of my walls, with the sources (just click the thumb for it);





PS. I recommend, if you like a style of a certain wall, to click on the deviantart user and see their galleries, lots of good stuff.

What show is that wp from?
Puella Magi Madoka Magica (which is not the kind of show you would expect based on the characters there)

Are you sure you are downloading/using the right res?

Personally on deviantart I stick to this photographer: http://ether.deviantart.com/gallery/

Other sites I personally use:
http://wallpaperswide.com/
http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/index.php?sort=date
http://fiftyfootshadows.net/category/desktops/

I heard wallbase.cc is good as well.

This will be making it's way into the next OP (along with suggestions from others) if i can remember.

Actually I use wallbase.cc, it's pretty good.
 
This is great stuff guys. I finally tried to give this a shot. Here is my first attempt at this.

I'm satisfied but it will change and I plan to add more. Where do guys get some of your scripts/commands for OSX Snow Leopard and Lion. I'm using geektools.
