« on: January 07, 2008, 09:55:33 pm »
My desktop was a mess of 50 icons and shortcuts/files/useless crap and etc. I got bored today and thought It was covering my awesome background :P and decided to delete all the crap.

Upper left hand corner= Everything you need.

What OS is that?

I've got like 50 million icons but a feckty background so i don't really care, plus most of it isn't my crap.
I put my stuff in a folder called Crap, Or My stuff, or something similar And if i get more then a folder of it, i delete one and start again.


So that's Ubuntu Right :)
Cool. I've no idea how it works.

EPIC

I hid the icons on my desktop, but I have about 20 icons in my quicklaunch bar.

Only anime shows I've felt any interest in over the years are Pokemon (original TV series) and various hentai.

I cut my clicking in half when I use the mozilla shortcut, that is why there are 2 icons and 1 folder.

I don't get why anyone would keep icons on their desktop when they have the quicklaunch bar.  On the desktop, the icons are likely to be hidden, but in the quicklaunch bar, you can start up programs at any time.

Speaking of starting up, does anyone actually use the Start menu? (the programs; obviously Run, Search, etc. are kind of useful)

I keep alot of things on my desktop... pretty much anything I'm going to be using spontaneously such as coursework or artwork which is in progress. As well as stuff for modding such as recordings and samples which I can just drag into Audacity.

I use it for the things that don't make it to my object dock. I used to pin the starup menus full with all of my programs, but since I got the dock I use it for my Tablet preferences, paint, and notepad.

I use the start menu a lot, not so much the programs list, but my top programs are on it. I also never use my empty quicklaunch bar.

yeah i like not using any icons at all, it lets me click more times when i need to open things

and then if i had any friends i'd bring them over to my house and they'd be like "whoah dude how do you use your computer with no icons?" and i could be like

"ubanto, b*tches. check and mate."
