  1. Re:Pimp my desktop by tycoex · · Score: 1 · on Windows 8 Desktop 'Just Another App'?

    I have an OSX clone on my crappy old Vista laptop using this program: http://www.truelaunchbar.com/

    It's fun to mess with, but I've kept my Windows 7 desktop normal because I like Windows 7 and see no reason to change the UI as I believe it's quite good. My laptop is just for effing around with so I didn't mind messing it up.

    Get TrueLaunchBar. It's the best $20 I've evr spent on shareware. It basically extends the functionality of the QuickLaunch bar by allowing users to add menus and plug-ins in addition to shortcuts as well as add more than one quicklaunchbar. The options UI has grown a little unwieldy over time due to the number of features being implemented to control metrics and the look of all the UI elements but it's still a great app.

  3. Good Tools by Gigs · · Score: 1 · on Improving the Windows XP User Interface?

    True Launch Bar is a great quick launch replacement with menus and many plugins.

    True X-Mouse Gizmo Gives you X-windows like cut and paste in windows. a bit buggy IMO. I use a macro enabled mouse now for the same functions.

    AutoHotKey Script Windows GUI, just plain Great!

    Stardock friends at work use some of their tools. Looks like you can redefine just about anything with their toolset.

    Actually, most graphic designers I know hate OS X. The only reason I see any designers going to OS X is because they still like Apple computers and they will eventually be forced to if they want to run the latest software from Adobe and Quark. Lucky for them application upgrade cycles are rather slow and many can still get by using OS 9, PS 6, AI 9 and Quark 4 or 5. Myself, I have no problem with it though I use XP at home for all my design tasks there. I like XP a lot, if for nothing else because of the new way to group files explorer so I can more easily find files by date or type. I know you could order files by group or type before but XP groups then and visually splits the files for me. Throw in True Launch Bar and I have the most useful desktop OS ever.
