sentient_loom, Woop
Blue_Morpho, Right click desktop, create new, folder: Junk
Drag drop everything but that chrome icon into Junk.
TarantulaFudge, Most of the time my desktop is covered, so I use folders on the toolbar
MelastSB, What in the world
ummthatguy, While I love the background, the cluttered mass of icons makes my eye twitch. A modicum of organization, please.
gregorum, The icons made your eyes twitch, but the Vista didn’t?
DaGeek247, You're sure it's not 7? I loved the glass that 7 had.
SubArcticTundra, It is imo
gregorum, The task bar on 7 Looked Way better
ummthatguy, The lesser of problems, I’d wager. Managed to bypass Vista… and 8. shudders
gregorum, Lol, dude should just slip in some skinned-up Linux Mint. Dad’s mind would be blown because OMG it’s so fast now!
SubArcticTundra, gitgud.io/wackyideas/aerothemeplasma
(currently daily driving this)
gregorum, Funny, because this looks a lot like how Longhorn did/was supposed to. Very pretty for its time.
Longhorn broke my heart, and I haven’t used Windows since (except to play Fallout)
SubArcticTundra, Agreed, I am also a Longhorn enthusiast
gregorum, Beta testing Longhorn, and it’s failure, just killed my last ounce of faith in MS. I went and bought a Mac after that, lol.
TBH, being into Macs are what got me into UNIX and Linux, though, so that’s something.
SubArcticTundra, (edited ) A while back I wanted to make a Longhorn-style fork of Haiku (imo the sweet spot between windows and linux), although I ended up quitting because it was too much work
Here are some mockups

gregorum, Now I’m trying to imagine Haiku, but with that Aero glass theme.
peopleproblems, Hah, as if you’d ever see the icons behind the millions of things I have running
sinokon, The only perfect background is to disable all icons and keep it black
XCraftMC, Okay, Patrick Bateman
jenny_ball, seriously. you guys are the same freaks that hide all their wires on your workstation for those lame pictures you like posting
Crowfiend, Yeah, imagine having a not-cluttered-as-fuck workstation that looks nice?
Fucking savages don’t organize their cables.
jenny_ball, exactly lolll
Aurenkin, I run a Windows operating system on an m.2 SSD on the latest generation AMD CPU and GeForce graphics card. My name is Patrick Bateman. I’m 27 years old. I believe in taking care of my operating system and a balanced power profile and rigorous maintenance routine. In the morning if my game is a little laggy I’ll put on a memory optimisation program while running benchmarks. I can score 1000 now. After I remove unused programs I use a file clearing tool such as CCleaner. On the desktop I audit all my shortcuts , remove any I haven’t opened for a while and sort the rest into folders. Then I apply any driver or software updates before powering off my PC which I leave off for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use a keyboard cleaning wipe with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your fingers out and makes you type slower. Then screen cleaning, then wiping down my desk mat followed by a final system boot.
rob_t_firefly, I see a background
And I want it painted black
No icons anymore
I want my desktop black
GissaMittJobb, I’ve used and enjoyed that kind of setup a while back, but my new favourite is to have something that rotates different backgrounds. macOS has their dynamic wallpapers which you can set to cycle through different ones on a regular basis, which I really like. I still don’t like having any icons, though.
On Android, I use Muzei to get a different artwork as my background every day. It’s also very nice.
sentient_loom, Yeah what is this 2006?
ickplant, Same. I would go insane with a desktop like that.
