Corpses that Dance, and other un-Possible things.

My new Minimalist desktop for Windows 7.



The box with the Steam, XFire, and other icons in it is a Windows Gadget made by buildagadget.com and allows me to store any program shortcuts I want there. The first Icon that you see which is a Chess Piece opens up a flyout window listing all files in there (in this case all my game shortcuts) and allows me to open/execute them without actually opening the folder, which means I won't have a folder in the background while I am gaming.

The box at the top more near the left is a Systems control box that allows me to shut down, restart, open the Task manager, or start the screen saver at the push of a button. It has a lock function to prevent the unwanted pushing of buttons (because no one wants to shut down by the accidental push of a mouse button). It also has a Timer function which will count down an amount of time you specify and then perform any of the actions it is able to perform (shutdown, restart, sleetp, hibernate, screensave, etc.).

The tall box you see on the right is the FaceBook Explorer. It gives me updates on my FaceBook and I don't have to actually have to open the browser to do many actions on FaceBook (like updating my status, commenting on status updates, viewing friends status updates, etc. All the links you see in there in the pic open the browser though).

Bottom right is a Systems Resources Monitor box, pretty standard. On the bottom left I have a search box that allows me to select sites to search on for without opening my browser.

The Time box you see at the top (between the FaceBook and Icons gadgets) has a built in Calendar and Alarm Clock functions. The Calendar allows you to make appointments, events, etc.






The desktop background is set to change every 12 hours. Love that function in Windows 7.
