just back off paternity leave! So this is now my desktop!!

 

What's your setup? I would have to create a new desktop in order for me to have 3+ monitors :(

I've just been told that I need to tidy my room and desk up:(

Well you need to start with that packet on the desk - I suggest tea to help with that.

or coffee - that's what it is ther for - come under the heading of 'Essentail equipment' - like a screwdriver or hammer - or mug

It's OK - we don't need them any more now that Donald and Nigel are getting together to sort everything out

Been playing with Rainmeter recently (mostly at home and bringing ready-made stuff into work to just install) - ended up with this:

Clock and calendar bottom right, Volume and Google bottom centre, the arrows down the left are program/folder links and the single arrow on the right is the start of a set of RDP links into each server, moved taskbar to the top as well just to make it even more fiddly to get used to.

I like the idea of Rainmeter, I really do, but 99% of the time my screen is covered by a web browser or video game, so it seems pointless.

Looks nice, though.

Yeah only really useful if you have multi-monitors but 90% of the time I don't need both screens (there's only a few jobs where I want 2 windows open and visible at the same time and they tend to be fairly quick copy/paste jobs) so I thought I'd have a play. I've learned a lot about image editing (from a knowing zero start) and how to use GIMP in the course of getting it all customised though :)

Same with most of us, but it's a great feeling when you get it set up. Mine has a load of "at a glance" info (must change the colours to make them a bit more visible) that can be useful but mainly look impressive if I minimize the windows covering it - especially to unexpected visitors!

 

the Rainmeter desktop looks like I'm doing all sorts of important techie stuff to the untrained eye.
