I know, but I was basically talking about Windows/Mac, not a certain version. Leopard/Snow Leopard looks way better than Se7en.

Windows CAN look better, but you have to mod it (sadly most people are too stupid to do so). That's what I tried to say. :)

Hahahaha, sorry, but OS X's design is growing old on me, sorry.


Windows 7 is much sexier by default than Mac OS. XP and Vista? Aren't.



EDIT: By the way, look at my netbook's Opera.

That's so sexy.
What did you used?
Lumen (you need VistaGlazz to install custom visual styles), Rocketdock + StackDocklet + some nice icons, CD Art Display (skin: "FcukVinyl") and this wallpaper.

Whatever, it's your onion. My only problem with Snow Leopard is the fact that Apple can't be bother to design a new fresh theme. Same old Mac design. :/

Which takes a long time to find the proper style/theme/skin, otherwise, it gets worse than it's original style.

Dude, anything looks better than se7en. Do you remember the part when Kevin Spacey is all on the ground and he's all like telling Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman that all the deadly sins will be achieved that day and then the wife's head comes in a package and that was envy and then he's all like, "All that's left is wrath." And Morgan Freeman keeps tellin' Brad, "Don't do it. If you do it he wins." And then
(SPOILER ALERT)

Brad Pitt pulls the trigger and kills him and it's all bloody.

The whole movie is bloody. At least leopards and snow leopards are pretty.

Ok, first a little thing. I have two partitions: one with Windows 7 (main) and the other with Windows XP. I had one with Ubuntu, but I deleted because it stopped working.

Why did I need XP? Many reasons there are, but the number one reason was that I wanted to play N, once, and I simply installed XP on one of my partitions. After that, when using Windows 7, I discovered that while it indeed is awesome, /my/ 7 can't execute any game properly - they all run slow/don't run at all. Another reason is that I love playing with OSes, and check new stuff for old OSes and that kind of stuff.


Soo, before Windows 7, I used Windows XP as my main, and I used this program on it, LiteStep. There are still some screenshots of my desktop here in this thread.


(Final) So, now I installed litestep again on my XP partition, and here it is. I had to customize this theme a little bit, and it felt nostalgically good to customize the popup menu and the theme again on the notepad!

No icons, just the way I like it. Use ObjectDock for practically everything. Why? It's actually faster to load than Explorer.

I like the looks of your desktop, but I don't like the idea of using ObjectDock for pratically everything aaand the fact that the taskbar is on top. I don't get taskbars on top.

Because ObjectDock doesn't look as good at the top. It also makes it look less like Windows.

Why don't you just make the taskbar to auto-hide, then?

Because it really sucks. Though, it looks much better without it.

I believe you are trying to say the taskbar really sucks and it looks much better without it?
