Background's nice, but would look much better if all that light was some real inter-stellar body rather then a gundumb

P.S. What that's white alien-like thing below the icons?

That's my terminal, it isn't "stuck" there, but only when i use it (which is most of the time

)

The "alien-like-thing is actually an animated kodama (some sort of spirit, from the Anime: "Princess Mononoke"
It runs around, disappears/fades away at times, makes that neat head-crackling move and sound - and keeps me company

The Arch-Linux source-package-build-repository had it, but since it is a kde-plasmoid the original source is probably build-able for any KDE-running system. Try the kde-look web-page

or look for the actual source in the arch linux-aur-package listing

Since Ozz has Win7 I'm gonna assume only a port would help him.

most definitely...I don't get how the people's dekstops keep on getting cluttered with text documents or pictures or other files...the first thing I do when I get a browser or office program is change the directory where it downloads or saves to.

The whole point of a desktop is to store shortcuts and provide easy access to files you use on a regular bassis.....

why in the hell are you all complaining about that, i see no point in an empty desktop myself, it just looks bland and well to state the obvious EMPTY. Sure ill give you that i could remove the pictures (only been there since yesterday since ive been changing my desktop alot) But the icons.... they stay.

this is why i post wallpapers usually.

heh sorry about the rant.

shortcuts yes, whole files no (like pics, text files, ISOs, torrents, archives)

First off there aint no isos and torrents on the desktop, sure its bad but not that bad..... yet MUAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAH.

seccond off, i have a tendancy of loosing files, if the files i am needing for (in the case of the text files) a report it is more appropriate to have them somplace i can see them, also it reminds me to actually work.

third off, if im wanting to extract something to my desktop i find it quicker to just place the archive on the desktop and then extract it, whats so wrong with that, the two there i just got this morning so.... im not that clean.

fourth off, IM LAZY..... and if i can find everything i want/need on my desktop, i will continue to use my desktop like that.

It's a problem because the desktop is not a normal storage solution, it's a locked personal folder. If you're not on your account then those files are inaccessible. Things would be just as easy to access if you made a folder in your root C directory called Documents and made everything redirect to there (because even My Documents these days is a personal folder with some restrictions on it though it should still be accessible from a different account but I prefer keeping completely neutral and creating an entirely new folder where UAC does not feel the need to mess with it). Then if you need to you can place a shortcut to that folder on your desktop.

So if I download an archive the procedure goes like this : Finished downloading so I click on my Dock Shortcut (could also be a desktop shortcut but I prefer it on my Dock) to the Downloads folder on the E root directory of my 2nd HDD. Everything in that folder is arranged according to modified so I right-click on the archive that I see instantly and then use the shell commands of my archival program (IZArc though WinRAR and 7zip also have it) and pick the command that extracts it to a folder named the same as the archive. Sorted.

yes you are, but when your system crashes due to a Virus or hardware fault or just plain OS Corruption that prevents your from booting then you're gonna have a problem, anyways I never said you need to get rid of the shortcuts, those are just fine.
