Before i go on any further about this pretty mac looking screenshot, just want to say thanks Joeie for taking the time to see how i was, and sending me the little write up– that i guess really reminded me of God’s picture of what he has in mind… and perhaps that distraught feeling of lonliness is more than just a casual bit of emotional distress… ha - i really should be boiling out my bit of energy feeling disheartened and sorry for myself… but yah thanks for the reminder :)
Now back to fly a kite!
So today between my South Asia Lab and my Psych lecture, me and Alvin stopped by York Lanes (York’s mini-mall) for lunch.. and we went over to Data Integrity to burn some time and i saw this Mac looking thing coming out of an HP mini tower… which was odd cause it looked like some severely messed up looking version of a Mac looked around and found out there was a lil program under ’start’ (or the apple logo) called FlyAKiteOSX — which looked pretty awesome and stable and everything (not to mention i kinda got bored of Emerge… slightly buggy) so coming home i set it up and there we have the pretty desktop

FlyAKiteOSX was really easy to setup/configure — easier than aston/blackbox/emerge, pretty bad documentation but everything iis pretty straight forward… it just ‘works out of the box’

*featuers include:*

-Startup Screen
-remodded start button / task bar
-RKdock
-Icons
-Folder Colour
-themable
etc.. pretty mature… best of all its Free :D
If you’d like to test it out — you can hop over to their site and try it out — its a pretty AJAX powered thing with basic functionality really pretty and all…

excellent lil program for PC users whom are still on Windows… so give it a try if you’d like –

fun fun.

    You’ll get nicer, smoother fonts if you turn ClearType on.

    Oh and you can hide desktop icons on your own. It’s in the context menu when you right click on the desktop. There’s something like hide desktop icons or something.
