    That screenshot's a bit too tiny to see clearly, but I'm not really a big fan of trying to make Linux look like Windows. Personally, I'd rather Linux was *nothing* like Windows

    Wow, I never saw a Windows Icon On a Kde Desktop before.It looks OK. All that matters is whats under the hood.

    I agree with smolloy, the last thing I want is for my desktop to look like Windows.
    But I give you an E for Effort, I think it's pretty cool.

    I used to have the BSOD as screen saver, until I found a packet containing a wide variety of different equivalents from various operating systems. I particularly liked the ASCII art dog that said 'Your system ate a Sparc!'

    Anyway, I noticed you don't have a virus scanner running O_o
    And if it was KDE you where using, I could script you a pop up that comes up every so many hours saying you have unused icons on your desktop
    Can't tell an OS by it's GUI
