Nice - what program are you using? I used to use WindowBlinds - took up way too much memory. StyleXP (or applying that uxtheme.dll patch) was more efficient but not as powerful.

Should probably specify what I am running...

Xfce 4.4.2 as a desktop environment, and using the CDE style desktop with minimised application windows in it. Top to bottom are: Pidgin (instant messaging), Firefox (web browser), Thunderbird (email), Liferea (rss feed reader) and XChat (IRC). Amarok is also running, but in the 4th virtual desktop.

Window manager theme is Xfce's default, as is the gtk+ theme.

I am now permanently using Ubuntu (/me eagerly awaits Wine to go gold in a few days hopefully).

Damn...KDE looks pretty sweet.

Does compiz work in KDE / is there a compiz alternative for KDE?
