Where are all your icons? The only one I see is the Recycle Bin.

[Tacitus]

Don't need 'em. The Windows key takes me straight to Metro.

I hate Metro. I just want my old Start Menu back. :(

I run my home machine with almost no icons, either. The desk I posted is from my office.

I use Start8. Mapped it so left Windows key opens the start menu and right goes to Metro where I keep a few shortcuts. Best of both worlds.

If you don't want to pay for Start8, Classic Shell is just as good but not quite as polished. ;)

I was using something called Classic Start with Windows 8.0, but it stopped working when I upgraded to Windows 8.1, (against my better judgement).

Do you know if Classic Shell works with Windows 8.1? (The link you posted claims that it does, but so does the link for Classic Start, but that one doesn't work properly with Windows 8.1.)

[Tacitus]

Yep, it works fine. I tried it a few weeks ago actually.

There's a 30 day trial for Start8 too and it's only $4.99 to buy.

This has been my desktop for a long time.
But for myself I crushed the blacks just a little bit.

I think Yoda (the site admin) can do it for you. You can PM him and ask him about it.

[ChronoCross]

Sounds good thanks!

Just go on the Windows app screen and click desktop. It will take you there and it has your familiar start menu and everything else. You can switch to the app screen anytime you wish.

You made that?

Nice work!

[The Rodent]

:D Thanks bud!


It's based on the same starfield pic I made for all those Star Wars things I make. Very simple Photoshop technique of adding noise to a black background.
Here's some others I made using the same base starfield...

To take a screenshot of one's actual desktop (and you're on Windows), just press the Print Screen key then open Paint and press CTRL+V to paste the image. Save that anywhere. ;)

I use the rainmeter program to make a simulated JARVIS desktop across two monitors that uses the webcam to "Wake" when the motion detector registers me walking into the room and the microphone to respond to voice commands.

Also been writing conversation batches for a couple years so it can talk your ear off.

It's when you enter the room, and it's already on that it's time to check in the dark corners and behind the curtains...

It's bad enough when I'm sound asleep and one of the big cats wanders into the room and I hear it saying "Good morning sir, it's 5am.. would you like weather and news now?" and I'm creeping downstairs with a bat...

I ended up sending a feed to my phone so I can see what JARVIS does...

Bump.

Decided to finally change my desktop after getting a new computer.

New desktop! Switched over from Windows to Linux. Only just got it so I haven't had the opportunity to play around with it yet but am definitely looking forward to doing so. Also wondering if there are any other Linux users here?

I tried Linux Mint a couple years ago, I forget what build it was. I liked it, and I think if I would have stuck it out and learned it I would have really liked it. But of course there's a learning curve coming from Windows and some of my Windows programs wouldn't work with Linux, though I think there's a Linux program called WINE that adapts the Windows interface to Linux.

I ended up buying another used computer, but one of these days I might give Linux a go again.
