If you want to show off your desktop of your PC, server, PocketPC, Palm, etc just post it here. Try to shrink the size to something that won't crush the dial-up users too badly, yet is still legible if there is text on it.
 
Have fun.

Oops, sorry bro. lol.
 
yakkob,
I tried desktop X with that exact theme you have. Pretty damn cool really. But one annoying as hell problem...what do you do about your taskbar? Like ICQ or Trillian? How can you answer your msgs? Also really like your custom folders, those rawk bawls.

I think I know what you mean about the 'bottom' taskbar..
You want to assign the cons with an application like trillian, etc.
Right click one of the icons on the taskbar ans 'select target' then browse to the app.exe you want to run.

If you are on about the usual 'windows' taskbar, I always have that at the top of the screen (from days of my Atari-ST - hehe), I just had it on 'autohide'.

Does this help?

Let me know m8

What I mean is...Say someone answers you, I don't know how to "answer the message" on ICQ. I can launch the program just fine. But it seems I have to have the normal windows taskbar to do this or how can I do that???

Hey I got it finally...I used a slightly different one, but you're right, Desktop X is cool for something different. Thanks for the tips!

Looks cool m8, glad you got it sorted
Desktopx can take a bit of getting used to, but if you are willing to try and do things different it can be quite rewarding and is a helluva lot easier on the eye than the normal windows desktop.
 
'Dungeon Master' was one gr8 game on the Atari ST, as was 'Super Sprint' (definatley the best coin-op conversion).
 
And YES, the joystick ports were a pain in the ***! lol
 
BUggy Boy was also a good conversion if my memory serves me right.
 
In fact...
 
Damn it Phillip, set up an ATARI - ST forum now
 
hehe

or at least that was mine... That along with the rest of my stuff currently resides on my 20Gb drive which is very, very sick at the moment. Right now I'm using the default Windows XP b/g and the default Windows XP theme on an installation I've created on a 6.4Gb drive I had spare.
