You don't need the ATI CC showing all the time, the track pad, windows update, that antivirus (norton?) and I don't know what most of the rest are

They take up a lot of space

I got vista inspirat installed, it's included in that. And it's very close to vista i LOVE it. And I always found Dante a cool character with his long jacket and white hair.

Vista inspirat can be downloaded here : http://www.crystalxp.net/galerie/en.id.130.htm
If you got brains you can make some shortcuts on that bar and dl some nice icons

Launchy really beats the shit out of any of the dock launchers. Its basically Quicksilver for Windows. Try it for a few days and it will have a huge impact on the way you use your PC.

Hmm, might try that, but I like to use the keyboard as little as possible, its all about the looks for me

What method do you use to run a terminal in the root window? I've seen it done before in screenshots, but I've never really known of a good way to do it. :\

Its a feature thats built into the xfce/gnome terminal, you can enable/disable the menubar and window borders through the menu and enable transparency. Automate it by adding this to your autostart list: terminal -e programname --hide-menubar --hide-borders --transparent

There are tons more options like its geometry and positioning so RTFM http://www.penguin-soft.com/penguin/man/1/...e-terminal.html

Actually, I've heard of that. I just kinda assumed there may be a better way or something. Eh, IDK. :\
