Ya know? I've just had a thought. We've seen what people can do with their d'tops in winXP; but not many d'tops with the newer Vista beta. Might be good if someone who has been messing with Vista could show some of their d'tops to give peeps an idea of what might be heading our way...

Then peeps could see what can be done with all those visual enhancements and the like it's supposed to bundle in...

I did post my Vista desktop in a couple of these threads earlier. I've reverted the laptop to XP at the moment until the Feb CTP is released (soon). Will post another shot once I have it installed. This build will include the Sidebar too.

"sidebar" ... *shiver*

I hate sidebars, they just take up screen real estate and dont provide any ground breaking functionality.

Can always be turned off, or set to auto-hide.

Okay, freshly compiled JWM from source code, details inside (ooops, covered them up!), hope you like it, it's supposed to look that blah!

I've also got a new picture from the Windows diemension:

VS: Vista Blue, a modification of Energy Blue, a style that everyone has been favouring lately (even me for a day)
Icons: NuoveXT
Wallpaper: A Corvette Original, if anyone wants it, I can post my entire series that you may have noticed in recent pictures of my Windows XP in the Wallpapers thread if anyone wants.
Sidebar: Royale Compact
LClock is producing the clock display

I've read that the author of Vista Blue ripped two authors off. He some how forgot to ask for permission...

Just delete the shortcut from your Startup folder in the Start menu.
