yep lol. same with the vista theme, cause its like unchangeable?

You can change the theme by dragging a color bar (just like you do while changing the color for a pic) and you can basically get just about any color. My brother has Vista and that's how I know that, other than that I think that's about all you can do.
As for the Zune theme, I prefer the Royale Noir (Black) theme

You can also use the Vista Basic theme or the Windows Classic theme. If you upgraded from XP, you can use the XP themes.
As said before, there's almost an infinite amount of possible color variation, as well as the option to change the window transparency.

I keep all my programs in the quick launch bar or start menu. For documents/pictures/other stuff, though, I fill up my desktop about once every 2 weeks or so. (1680x1050)

That looks great, man. Flaming, liquid metal. Very nice.
Quick launch, for the win! It's such a nice feature, but from what I've seen it's rarely utilized by the average Joe.
[Your average On-topic, Off-Topic post]
Over at the
Engineering Window 7 blog they've recently posted some stuff on the future of the taskbar and Quick Launch.
Right now they seem very open to input from the commenter's. I don't know how much they'll actually "use" but they seem to be responding to comments. They've also done some follow-up posts involving actual user posted questions and requests. So if you want to put your say in on Quick Launch, the taskbar or whatever, now would be the time.
If nothing else it makes for interesting reading.

I couldn't stop laughing! Very nice wallpaper, Karnage!
EDIT: ... why do I seem to start a new page so often?

Stop posting and it won't have to happen.
That is a nice wallpaper though!

Ya I really depend on the Quick Launch for pretty much everything I do. It also really helps to clear up the desktop.

OK...where do I get it?
EDIT: Or, if it's a default program, how do I use it?
