It's finally dawned on me; sorry, been using RC1 all week and it's blocked out all memories of XP already LOL. You mean like this ~ http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/156289/3834176
I've actually got quite attached to the new layout; i didn't like it first as i couldn't differentiate what was running from what was just a Quick Launch icon. Then my eldest (who'd never seen W7 before!) pointed out that the clue was that the icons that were running were surrounded by a translucent box. Since then i've grown used to it after using it day and night for a week or more and now find XP clumsy and old fashioned whenever i reach over and mess about on the Quad Core machine.

Cheers, i was messing with the Taskbar earlier, meant to post my results, you've done a better job there though :)
I decided to leave mine on the default setting, i've got used to it now.

Yeah Loco showed me RocketDock yesterday, i've also put it on the Q6600 (still on XP), it's a very nice & useful dock.
The wallpapers are from ~ http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper_beta/downloads/ ~ i have about 100odd of them in a folder and W7 just cycles thru them. Nice.
Just removing W7 off my HP laptop as there's no audio drivers available for it (not even Vista drivers). No biggie, XP going back on now to be dual booted with Puppy Linux 4.20. Plus i'll be installing RocketDOck on XP anyways

Am I to understand, windows 7 has yet another skill that XP did/does not have? Heck yah! Just found that ability. Thanks for the post. It might have been weeks or months before I found that :D
I wonder if you've seen this :D It seems to refresh itself in real time too :)

Yah, I thought subscribers of this thread might find it useful and interesting :)
Here's my current favorite wallpaper. I think I got it off interfacelift.

Shokz: Thanks for that, I will use #2 initially, but #4 may take over afterwards. I'm familiar with the hover-over preview from Vista.
Creaky: NICE choice. I love Interfacelift. It's one of the few places that caters for 30" users :)
Omegaman: That was my wallpaper for about 3 months last year :)
Does anybody know if it's possible to put a different wallpaper on the second screen if you use dual monitors?

Hmmm...im afraid I never tried that one. And my other Wide monitor went to my sister. Ive been toying with the notion of hooking an other monitor up. But its CRT, and im limited on desk space so :(
I suppose if Windows 7 can do it, it won't surprise me!

A couple new pics. And my solution to desktop clutter (Sam's seen my method before) ~
I don't like clutter, i've removed some of my own taskbar icons, i call mine from RocketDock now. For some years now i've had a folder in the Quick Launch area containing all my shortcuts, i can't stand desktop icons, wading thru Start Menu items or tons of icons on the taskbar. I do this across most machines now.
The folder is now accessible from RocketDock instead of the taskbar, i just click on RocketDock and this folder appears (as you can see i haven't installed all my usual programs in W7 yet) ~

Ho ho!!! Interfacelift has Multnomah Falls! Im not even 150 Miles from there. VERY cool. You know, you wouldn't believe it unless you saw it, but I actually stood, not 3 feet from the edge. BELIEVE IT! I wanted to get closer too. At the time anyway. See...people use it as a wishing well(at the time anyway). And I saw multiple half dollars close to the edge. I COLLECT THEM! I was 15 yrs old at the time. *Sigh* memories :) Of course I would never touch a persons wish now LOL! I THINK its 70-100ft to the bottom of the main fall.
Actually, come to think of it, it may have been the higher up fall in the pic, that I was standing at.
EDIT - Now im not certain which fall I was standing at. 15 yrs is a long time. Im actually thinking it was the lower falls now, and the lower falls is only 50-75 feet to the bottom.
Or how about this little gem! One of my favorite movies LOL!

I think I can safely say that interfacelift is by FAR the best place for desktop backgrounds - you'd be surprised, but others don't even fit my 'little' 1440x900, simply because most you find just lying around the net are 1240x1024 (at most). Plus, they have literally hundreds of beautiful photographs :)
