I just downloaded this one, and I really like it.

I was using this one, but it messes up the font colors in some menus.

Let's see them, Stench.

It depends on the blind. You do have to have a copy of WindowBlinds to use them, which works in either OS.

i've wanted to do this, but was concerned it might jack up my comp. is this a pretty safe thing to go ahead and do? i did a bunch of reading on it before but couldn't come to anything definitive. i have xp sp3 if that matters. i'd appreciate any advice you guys might have.

I've never had it give me trouble. DesktopX, another program by the same people, is a little buggy, though.

I really like that Azenis2, especially with Lithos-Pro fonts.

The rest I've seen and didn't like for one reason or another.

Yeah I used that Azenis one for a while then I switched to one of the Aero ultimate vista ones.

Do you use RocketDock?

Um, hell yes?

I have used Azenis and Rapture as my two main ones for a while now.

RocketDock pwns. I love a clean desktop, but hate the quicklaunch bar. This thing hides quick, but is still easy to grab and use. Good call, Stench.
