this tut was completely made by me so don’t steal unless you give gredits, have fun with this and be sure to comment
step 1. find yourself a good wallpaper
heres a great site for some wallpapers.
step 2. get yourself a good dock, i like to use rocket dock and there are many customizations for it, it is very easy to navigate and change the settings

Download RocketDock - RocketDock.com
step 3. now you can go get yourself something called rainmeter,this is much more advanced and has many more choices, it is so annoying at times that you may want to g and find yourself a tut on youtube.

step 4. do yourself a favor and get yourself a real internet browser, firefox or google chrome, or like me…use both. than get some addons for your browser, maybe a them or two, or even just get a virus scanner for it
firefox

  2. you can add little virtual eyes to you desktop that follows your mouse, you can change their transparency, size, shape, add, delete, etc…

How do I get the clock in the corner?

12

going to have to try rainmeter

13

uhm you can download rain meter skins and apps

14

No, just no.

This in MY opinion is a terrible guide, absolute just look at YOUR background, and your images and it all just looks like a five year old did it, and your guide isn’t even that great. It has no custom theme support, how to change your start orb, what docks to use, not using text icons for your dock, and just so much more.

And if that is too messy for you, let us view my desktop without anything on it, which also looks better than yours.

Let’s add some browser information for this beauty.

1600×900 478 KB

Use firefox 3.6 not beta, Google Chrome UI > Firefox Default
>Remove Windows Bar at the top
>Acts like Chrome with the speed of firefox
>All my booksmarks/Hyperlinks are an icon and only a click way for easy access
>Ctrl + T for new Tab, click, and go.

Just thought I would show my FireFox 3.6 Addons, incase anyone wondered what they should be using to browse with, I have found these addons to be quite superior to any I have ever used before, best of luck with anyone customizing their computers.

Also,

Yes but rainmeter comes installed with “Engima” Which is most commonly used rainmeter skin found on the top sharing skin websites (Deviantart etc…). Which is what I am currently using.

Download rainmeter -> right click -> settings -> <YOURSKIN> (I’m going to be using Enigma as an example) -> Enigma -> Sidebar -> Clock -> Big clock.ini <CLICK>
Click that, and it will load a clock, from there you may click and drag and leave it where you would like, when you are done, right click a rainmeter app (Like the clock) and lock it.

ironically, this thread means your desktop is no longer “unique” or “cool”
