Current Top @ work

Seeing how I'm bored here today at work, and seeing how there is a definatel lull in the desktop modding community I thought I'd like to post my most recent desktop screencap. Not that I think I'll spark a new roar in "the movement" like WinT did/does. but here it is.

Nano at work dot dtop

Heres what's going on:
VS: Nano by whistl3r @ 4impressions

Signs icons by qoa, or methodik... I should know this for sure, but I'm pretty sure they're from qoa

Tclock from TwoTone... duh!

Custom HTML taskswitch... thanks much grigri, and kmr

Active Desktop is a modified OmegaBar file... the tasks never worked right for me but I liked the links to run apps.

A minimalized Firefox, gotta love it, to hell with IE, or NN.

Nothing else going on.

Post some comments, post some of your own screen shots, DO SOMETHING PEOPLE!

That's funny, my Firefox looks nearly identical except I have no throbber. And you're right: Signs were by qoa.

Bit too minimal for me, but certainly a very clean look. Not sure if this will help you, but I found (took me like a full day...) that Omegabars tasks don't work on desktop if you define a strict doctype for the html document (which I do out of habit...).

So i should remove the DOCTYPE line from the file? I'll try that.

@ Blackened - I'm going to remove the "Edit" "Go" and "Help" from firefox soon, gotta remember where they are. Gonna tweak the userchome thingy too.

@ plastic - minimal is the way I like it. Here at home (where I'm currently posting this) I have nearly the same setup, but with less icons, and a dozen or so modified dialogs. I feel that so many people clutter their dekstop with useless crap.

Soon Perhaps (when I mod'd a few more things) I'll post my home's desktop screencap, you'll see just how nicely whistl3r's Nano VS can look with a lot of time dedicated to it.

You can get the extension to do that here,

how do you read that clock? my eyes aren't that good.. lol.

i'd look into a .js clock on the taskbar to replace the default one.

i like the minimal design myself, and the icons on the quicklaunch add a nice touch.

signs icons, as blackened pointed out, were indeed done by qoa.

On an 18" LCD monitor (i'm gonna steal this one from work) the clock isn't so difficult to read. I'll check into the .js clock thing, I use TClock2 now but I don't think there is anything going on besides the clock thing. My first question... is how would I disable the default clock and make it not appear? I know Tclock2 can do this... but that'd defeat the whole .js clock idea wouldn't it?

Unselect "Show Clock" in your taskbar properties. Then check out QLtime.
