Tweaking your computer

RocketDock.com - Home

I swear up and down by this. IT is a sweet little additional task bar that you can install that has the look/feel of the osX task bar. Amazing little bugger. I downloaded it and love it.

I was ust kinda wondering, what tools, or fun little gimmicks do you crazy people install on your PC to customize it? What programs would you like to find, that are just not out there?

I always slap rad stickers on my computer to increase its awesomeness by at least 200% percent.

I find it humorous they have something like that in vista.

I have had something like that before. It's a resource hog :P

I used to have a program that would let me have sheep running around on my desktop, and sometimes they would even jump! And you could drag them to the top of the screen and let go of them. :D

Fake reals are better than real reals. It's like boobies.

CCleaner is a ace tool for cleaning all the crap windows forces you to keep...but for beautification i would have to go with StyleXP it can adjust almost anything (Wallpapers, screensavers, bootscreens, window themes etc.) from one simple interface...

When I was like 14 I downloaded a program that made ants crawl across the screen and randomly take bites out of it, leaving black holes. I then convinced my sister she downloaded a virus.

I have one on a cd that leeza would like. It's the little Neko cat that will chase after your mouse cursor.

I tweaked my operating system so much that it became Linux. Then I tweaked Beryl onto it. There's not a lot in Linux that isn't a tweak.

I gave you that :(

Also I use powermenu and some little priveiw thingie that previews by scrolling over the taskbar, a la Vista style. On Linux I use loads of stuff but it was all installed against my will by a Linux Geek :(

I've gone from THIS to THIS. ObjectDock, Yahoo! Widgets, and a good few days scouring deviantart for something I like the look of.
