//Oversized Image Linked. -NC

I am mainly intrested in how he was able to enter words instead of pictures for his object dock, what program he is using for the hdd monitor, and what program is he using to set those icons ( Music and Pictures) I could probably to something similar with object dock, but I dont think there is an option to make the words stay on screen like that without having to do a mouse roll over

Thx in advanced.

By hacking into that person's computer and stealing their files.

Or with Windowblinds and RK Launcher.

And for the HDD Icons i suppose he is using AveDesk

Search around, and you'll find everything you need.

The text in his dock actually are icons, you can download packs of them from various places. As for the widgets, he could be using any number of things, but it's probably Avedesk.

If you want ur desk like that then lurk more.

Don't like that desk. Too complicated and messy.

But yeah, the dock is using icons that are text - try searching on DeviantART, I think there's loads of them. And the icons, are Pidl Shortcuts using Avedesk, which can be found on this very forum.

Some people like to have a lot of data instantly available to them.
Some don't.

i think this is RainMeter. With this you will have calendar, weather catcher, but the player ( use Winamp) not the same( may they fixed it)

The Visual Style is some transparent one, they're all over deviantart
The rainmeter skin is HUD.vision
Don't know the wallpaper
object dock background looks like a simple transparent rectangle, icons can be made manually in photoshop for personal use, as i do for my OD icons
I'm not particularly sure how the icons for Music and the HDD's are done, possibly a second dock

err, i think that is an object dock. anyway object dock can do that too.
it's just a icon or png, which you can change.

abslutely, this pic have many programs

dock
2 rainmeters at right (weather and power indicater)
1 rainlendar (it's a carlendar under dock.)

at the bottom left, may be a avetune or wimamp (1.x-3.x skins)

to run all of these, you need to dl more than 5 programs - -"

go to www.stardock.com, they have some programs (free and purchasable) to make your computer look like this. Or you can get skins for uxtheme patcher. http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enh...tiPatcher.shtml

There seem to be tabs in that dock: Thus, it might as well be ObjectDock.

The taskbar has been made transparent with the Fadebar app by nookian or similar. App get:
Fadebar

Apparently you need a visual style that works well with Fadebar to make it look good. nookian provides one here:
LunaInspirat

In the quicklaunch I see an icon with a red moon. I guessing this may be Shutoff, also by nookian. I use this myself and it's really good. App get:
Shutoff

The "worded" icons for a dock are either BASIC5 by Otisbee, The Kobhens by Robert Urso (from which BASIC5 is based) or a derivative thereof.
Lucid Icons by leechiahan are somewhat similar and may be of interest. Icons get:
BASIC5
The Kobhens
Lucid Icons

Since it is clear s/he is using Winamp, I believe the "now playing" like widget on the bottom left is a skin for CDArt Display. It comes as a stand alone
install or as a plugin for Winamp, foobar2000 or Media Monkey. I recommend downloading the CAD 2.0 beta 5 so you can use some of the newer and
better skins for it. Otisbee has a very nice selection over at Deviantart. (After installing CAD 2.0 you associate it with which ever player you have. If
you would like it to also open with another one of your players, download the appropriate plugin.)
App+Skins get:
CAD 2.0 beta 5
Otisbee CAD Skins
Winamp Modern Skins

As mentioned above, the weather widget, to-do list, etc. can be achieved with Rainmeter, Samurize or similar. If you have never
used such tools, you may prefer to download the impressive Enigma desktop suite by Kaelri. It should give you some sort of framework to start
fiddling with these tools. Apps get:
Rainmeter
Samurize
Enigma

Not sure how s/he has titles next to the music and pictures icons. I assume it's either Objectdock, Rocketdock, XWindowsDock or
something similar. As for that wallpaper... HERE, knock yourself out. I'm sure you'll find something.

If you look around, I am sure there are many other solutions than the ones I have mentioned. Good luck.
