MY DESKTOP
I'm not a fan of Mac products, but I really like the default desktop wallpaper for OSX. So I took the wallpaper, stamped my name on it with Windows 7, and themed my desktop accordingly. I love my desktop.

COMMENTS
I really don't like pins at all for so many reasons. They just make a huge mess out of my Taskbar. If I didn't have ObjectDock, I would have definitely set up a Quickl Lunch on my taskbar. Windows 7 doesn't allow you to turn a folder into an edgebar like previous versions of Windows did. If it did, I might not have installed ObjectDock at all. The problem with ObjectDock is that it doesn't expand folders that are docked to it. Just like edgebars, you cannot place a folder onto it so that the folder expands when you hover over it. That's why I set up an 'Applications' toolbar in my Taskbar. As seen in the 2nd image, if I open the 'Applications' toolbar, the folders inside it expand beautifully. Even the Windows 7 Start Menu doesn't do this. You have to navigate all of your Start Menu programs right inside of that Start Menu rectangle.

That's the winning ticket!

Now see how it looks when seeing the focus placed there instead.

Yea, that really looks great!

It's still a little off center allowing for the clock gadget. But I can easily correct that for a separate imge here. You'll notice it now starts to look more like an emblem or even better a good gift wrapping!

I just centered that one a little more to see how that works.

I have a feeling this one will go a lot further at information overload!

You should see the revision of that as well as another I managed. Don't you get it? That one has "everything" coming at you at once kind of following along the lines of over extended multitasking!

I prfer to keep things basic at times as well including some 7 power factors or back in the '60s that would have been called "Flower Power of 7"!
