    There is nothing on my desktop but the recycle bin, and if I knew how to get rid of that damn recycle bin I would!
    Block. You give a whole new definition to the word "minimalist".

    If you're serious about doing that, then there is a way. At least on my computer there is. Just right click on the recycle bin icon and a menu will pop up. Scoll down to where it says "delete" and click on that. It should delete the icon from your desktop.

    As for myself, I usually just change up my wallpapers every now and again. Nothing fancy, but it works for me. I do have a few shortcuts to a lot of programs that I use often on the left side of my desktop, because I don't feel like going through the program menu every time I need to run things like GIMP or iTunes.

    Re: What makes your desktop shine?

    My desktop...isn't very shiny. Rather, it tends to vary depending on the mood. Though, I don't change wallpapers...that much.

    My shiniest desktop was the Christmas-themed wallpaper I had. It's based on a really funny pic I found:



    Then again, I've graced my desktop with other things, such as...
    SPOILER!!:


    A theme hastily built with Paint of all Mega Man characters + all Robot Masters until MM9...



    ...or the traditional and usual pic of a Paladin that I enjoy. These two are old, and they have what I usually tend to have on the screen (basically, Google Desktop and a messy load of buttons which since has been reduced.


    Current has a SRW theme, until I can find a better one with a Paladin.
    Delivering scathing wit as a Rogue using Sneak Attack.

    Pester me on the Giant in the Playground Forums if you really need me.

    The Final Boss Theorem:
    The size of the ultimate form of the final boss is inversely proportional to it's chances of actually beating your party. If you agree with this, please copy and paste this valuable piece of info on your sig. AND, if you're evil and villainous...never settle for a big form when a smaller form is more kickass...


    'Tis a shame I can only place names now...:
    Silver, Omnitense, Govinda, Aerif, Meier Link,
    (whatever is the name of) The Stig, Grizzly, Fishie,
    Craven, Spiral Architect, Flash AND Froggie.

    Spaces still available. Join today!!


    Nomu-baka, this is FAR from over...:
