All that is confined in a single expandable bar on the bottom of my top monitor so I can access it even when I have Musicbanter, or porn sites (lawl), maximized on my bottom screen.

I absolutely can't stand desktop clutter. And my wallpaper is a techy-looking metallic design, mirrored on both screens.

It's ultra-minimal and ultra-efficient. Totally devoid of humor or personality. It's as though a sentient robotic being designed it.

I even HAD to get a firefox theme that matched my Windows theme (Zune theme for XP) otherwise my head would have exploded.


Weird thing is, I'm not that organized in other aspects of my life.
I always start out with very organized intentions, but after a period of time everything gets out of place and I'm too lazy to return it back to proper conditions.
But on my computer, I don't even turn my computer off at night without going through and making sure everything is where it's supposed to be.
Weird.
Oh god, I would be exactly like this if I had the patience and/or know how about how to set something up like that. I have Object Dock and yet I still end up with icons on my screen. There's also just a bunch of stuff on my computer that I'm kind of afraid to delete but I have no idea what they do.

I guess I'm 3. I have a small-ish collection of icons on my desktop but I try to keep most of my things in folders and such.

I found that if you put a folder on your dock and call it "Temporary" or "Transit", and put in there all the loose stuff from your desktop that you don't know what to do with, it tricks you into thinking you're moving forward with a semblance of organization.
Out of sight, out of mind.
