Finally found time to clean up my desktop (cutting into sleeping time), a couple of hours ago I had no room for any new desktop icons (I CAN SEE AGAIN! :P).

(You can probably notice a theme with the background images of mine :P)

WOW that is cool! How do you get the messages on the side?
I don't know what program Mao is using, but you can use software such as Rainmeter (there's A LOT of these types of programs) to do similar things:
http://rainmeter.net/cms/About
http://rainmeter.net/cms/Support
It's quite powerful, there's quite a few plugins for it as well. This website here has a lot of examples of what you can do with it: http://www.customize.org/rainmeter/skins

If you're using XP, then Samurize isn't half-bad: http://www.samurize.com/modules/news/
Most of the skins I have on there are from the basic theme thing that comes with Rainmeter, except the weather one, found that somewhere in one of those links from laseredd.

So I'm sort of going to use this post to do some self-promotion  :-X. Here is my (temporary) background! Took a while to make!



See the original here! Vengeance of the Octopi at deviantART

Enjoy! Big thanks to the two forumites who gave me the idea, they know who they are ^-^

I think the actual wallpaper is stolen from this thread actually! A bit of Rainmeter on the side and my OCD stops me from having more than two columns of programs haha - Recycling Bin is away from everything else so I don't bin something by accident :P (laptop btw)

I run it on powersaving mode in uni (lasts like ~8 hours on word processing + internet or something), so I don't get to see any of that stuff anyway :(

I'll link it tomorrow or possibly today on this thread. I'll just edit this post and you can save the picture.
EDIT: The link is on my previous post
