Here's mine. That's a dual display system, in case you're wondering why it looks funny. I got so used to that second screen, I wouldn't want to work without it... --- |

It's basically one huge desktop, and I can drag windows around all the way I like. Only if I maximize a window, it will maximize to one display only, not both (which it really can't, because they're not equally-sized; hence the black rectangle). I can, however, make very wide windows that stretch over both displays. Usually, I use the large display to work in some program, and open documentation and help files on the smaller one. Pretty cool really. For music productions, I open the sound card's mixer and an explorer window (and maybe some auxiliary programs like cd-burning or mp3 packing apps) on the small display and the main recording program on the large display. --- |

This is what my desktop looks like at work. It's not too different from what it looks like at home, only has more windows open generally. |

William: Go here and put in 1024 bytes to see how long it takes to download 1mb from my server (which has bafsoft.com). I get my full cable modem cap, 3mbit, downloading from it. [edit] Heh. Check mine before i had to reboot to make windows recognize my new monitor. Only 53 windows open:P here Thank God for window grouping |

Transparent consoles are cool! In fact every *nix user should have transparent consoles! Enclosed is a new screenshot of my desktop, which shows off my transparent consoles. |

Nothing to see here. It's my dull kde default desktop with practically no widgets except gkrellm. Downscaled to 75%, still rather big(~300k) __________ |

No desktop from me yet. I'm using TMW, I'm kind of embarrased, although I like the insanely fast boot time. Evert, I like your style. I thought there would be more Linux users.. |

Surely you mean translucent And I used to, until I figured I didn't want to waste the extra CPU (it's not hw accelerated, after all) and that some of my backgrounds just made text hard to read (only way to fix it was to make it more opaque.. so much so that I might as well not have had a translucent background). -- |

Wasn't expensive at all. I already had what I needed from my old machine; you don't need anything fancy / expensive for the second monitor. Just an old PCI graphics card (mine: Elsa Winner 2000/3D 4MB) along with your brand-new kick-ass AGP card (mine's not brand new: GF Ti4200 128MB), although not all (old) chipsets can do multi-monitor. My secondary display runs at 640x480, so a 14" screen is just fine. --- |
