lol...how come u givin me protips when u no pro ...jkjk... ehm...i dunno...the side thingy is quite handy....n....switch to xp.... i dunno how to ive tried to do it before but then i always fail....*sigh*
instead of having the sidebar which hogs shit, just go to google and convert using google.. as simple..
lol, i don't have sidebar, good old google for me lol. then again i roughly know the exchange rates of things that i want to know and use the gd old calculator.
i like my sidebar as well... but my processors are usually only at about 15% capacity each, so its doesn't affect performance too badly. And i usually always have a good 50% of ram left to do my bidding lol Vista > XP. You can bitch all you want about performance hogging, but in the end Id rather have something that looks good. If it takes up a few more milliseconds of my time to run applications, im fine with that.
iv had windowblinds on my XP system before... it really killed my computer's performance when i used to run it... but maybe that has been fixed
i dont use window blinds myself.. i use... i dunno... something thats not windowblinds... lol anyways i think instead of skinning the desktop, it makes a new theme in the windows folders...
well if u want aesthetics and functionality, the ubuntu that knoc posted it is quite gd in terms of it has its beryl allowing the cube, there widgets and a whole bunch of other stuff.
waaaaaaaah so violent! lol I made this when I was bored.. originally for my profile but I didn't like it lol. Sooooo.. I made it my wallpaper
