So ya took along time to find a good widescreen desktop. Also cleaned it up ALOT. So ya.

Seemed strenuous on the eyes a bit idk...might have just been me

If you're judging from my second screenshot, than yes, it does look pretty bad. I even think so myself, but it's just the font that makes it look terrible I think. 'Cause here's another screenshot from my other computer which looks so much better..

But god damn harold. you and your oritental stuff..

Complain some more and I'll make my whole desktop environment in Japanese

I don't know what I did a long time ago, but all my desktop icons never show up anymore. They're still in the desktop folder though. I think it looks nicer that way though. It's been a year or more since I've had a cluttered desktop.

did you put hide desktop icons..?

If you ever want the icons back, you can just check off Show Desktop Icons whne you right click on your dektop.

Nope, I can't even right click the desktop

Can you hit the "right click" key? Does the same thing as right click.

It's right under shift next to ctrl on the right side of the keyboard if you dont know.

nope. I must have changed a setting or hit a key that does something weird like that. It's cool though I'm getting a new computer on friday.
