“Keep It Simple” Desktop

Posted: March 31st, 2009 | Author: Travis Hill @ RightThought.net | Filed under: Uncategorized | 4 Comments »

It’s Springtime, which for many people means Spring cleaning.  This extends itself from our homes to our cars to our workspaces.  I am a big believer that not only should we keep things simple and basic around us, but we should keep it tidy.  For me, this includes the computer desktop.

I know a lot of folks who keep every file and folder right on there desktop, but I just see this as clutter.  It also gives me a great glimpse into how their mind works… :)

I recently cleaned up my desktop (for work and home), and went with a simple Zen theme.

You can find all you need to make your own:

Bamboo wallpaper:  http://missnysha.deviantart.com/

Clock and calendar: Rainmeter- http://code.google.com/p/rainmeter/ with the Enigma theme:  http://lifehacker.com/5158878/enigma-desktop-20-released-adds-installer-widget-manager-and-templates

So where do I keep all of my files and applications?  In the dock.  Oh, you don’t see it?  How about now?

I keep the dock below the screen until I need it.  Yes, you can have a dock for Windows, just like a Mac.  It’s called ObjectDock:  http://www.stardock.com/products/objectdock/

Enjoy, and good luck with the Spring cleaning!
