I got a desktop shortcut for pretty much everything I use, which means I have about 80-odd icons. It might look a mess to anyone else, but it makes it quicker for me.
Davince you hardly customized your Gnome panels!
I'll make my desktop pretty and post a screenie.
Edit:
Notes:
10 Seconds after booting I can no longer see my desktop, which is the reason my taskbar is 2x sized.
Yes, I hacked up the guts out of my shell to customize it!
Yes, I like custom Classic themes.
No, I don't use Group Windows, It's just a hack to make windows from the same process next to each other on the task bar, but they're never actually grouped to one button.

I didn't customize because I like it like this. Though I guess I could put the top bar at the bottom or something.
The custom classic theme is a bit ugly, you aren't really a designer.
Designer chaps normally like using the classic theme as it's a neutral grey, much like how Apple's pro monitors have a silver bezel in lieu of more prettiful black or white casings.
I'd say he wasn't a designer by his desktop pic though

How can you say it's ugly? It's about the same colors as yours, or XP's default!
Anyway I managed to hack Windows to have my font as Lucida Sans instead of Lucida Sans Unicode (They don't look the same, and I can't set a non-Unicode font manually in this installation.) and altered the shadows a bit. It looks better.
Edit: ... And omg! DaVince, where did you acquire that BEAUTIFUL wallpaper?! DO WANT!

Yeah, that bold italic font looks absolutely horrible, especially with the weird font smoothing on it (there are some red/green artifacts around the text sometimes). Also, my theme has a glossy look to it, not a horizontal gradient with default colors.
Who cares as long as you have a desktop you're comfy with.
