what dock are you guys using to get that table like effect?

To whom are you talking to?

Theres alot of docks you can use, but some are customizable.

RocketDock, is an example of a dock you can use on Windows.

I meant what skin?
I have Rocketdock at the moment.
And I was talking to either you or Warcuid or twiffles

Rocketdock isn't that good, since the dock I had in my picture is Rocketdock. Or maybe it's because I can't find any good Mac look-alike docks.

On my MAC i have the Leopard background(Because i have Leopard and i like the background)

On windows(Damn god i hate windows but i have to use it) i have:

You wont find any set Mac look alike docks.

If you want, i can find what skin he used in that picture for his dock, since it looks like Leopards.

i just want the looks of mac with the functionality of windows.


So a Mac with Bootcamp?

I'm pretty sure he meant in one OS.

QUOTE(flai @ Jan 3 2008, 06:20 AM)Not fanboyish, just true. XP and Vista are unstable, and having anti-virus software sucks up alot of your RAM. OS X is stable and virus free. Stop using fanboy for someone defensive of a particular brand, can we please retire this stupid insult for 2008?

1. XP crashes has crashed on me maybe 3 times in the last 6 years, between 4 actively used systems.

2. My AV software takes up about 13Mb of RAM.

Both those things I can easily live with. And as far as using the term "fanboy", its because throwing out those blatant exaggerations really makes people think you are one.

1. I seriously doubt that if it's actively used it's only crashed 3 times in 6 years. I'm actually just going to accuse you of lying there, even actively used Linux systems crash more than 3 times in 6 years.

2. That may only be 13Mb of RAM but I guarantee that it slows your computer down significantly, I certainly noticed the difference with my past two essential virus protection and firewall programs.

Accuse me of whatever you want. Some people know how to run a well-maintained system.

And don't make up blanket statements like "even actively used Linux systems crash more than 3 times in 6 years." Thats highly based on the person's proficiency with *nix. Servers are mainly running *nix because of its almost nonexistant chance of crashing when you know what you're doing, and people who don't know what they're doing will crash any time they try to do anything.

2. That may only be 13Mb of RAM but I guarantee that it slows your computer down significantly, I certainly noticed the difference with my past two essential virus protection and firewall programs.

I've been using Nod32 and have experienced no noticeable performance decrease.

I didn't realize it was possible to run a well-maintained system under Windows. Not in the ten years I've been using it anyway, and Linux systems generally are more stable than Windows, and I am rather a novice at Linux and I have yet to experience a crash when doing even the most RAM consuming tasks. I wasn't talking about server's either, I was referencing home and work systems. You should not have to maintain a system in the 21st century, it should be capable of being used by anyone, like OS X seems to be doing and has been for the past 5 years. Seems Microsoft find it difficult to do that.

And that 13Mb of RAM which Nod32 takes up is a 13Mb which I don't have taken up on my Mac. If I thought that Nod32 was a viable choice for my Windows box then I would use it, but after having tried it before, I'd rather have my RAM consumed by something that will actually protect my PC.

 

[gh0ul]

I also use Nod32, then again i also have 4gigs of ram. i only like it because it doesnt piss me off as much as norton. heres my wallpaper (in respect to 9/11):

Now you're just talking out of your ass.

Edit: Found it myself, guess I'll try the same foobar skin. >.>

 

[War]

Wow, my new object dock is awesome! I got some new icons running, and my desktop looks better than ever. :3

Question though... the only icon left in my desktop is the Trash Bin... is there any way to get rid of it or put t somewhere else? It just looks kinda ugly sitting there.

 

[kellyan95]

You can do a bunch of registry stuff and hide it, very easily hide all your desktop icons, or download TweakUI and check the option to hid the 'bin. I did the former.

right click on desktop --> arrange icons by.. --> show desktop icons

 

[War]

Hmm... well, Im no good with registry stuff... and I dont want to hide EVERYTHING. I tried it, and it gets pretty annoying when you download a lot of stuff, etc. So I guess Ill have to settle for the last.

I was also wondering... why do you guys use Foobar? Thanks!
