Then I realised that I never, ever look at my desktop! Who sits at their PC without a window open? I no longer use Samurize :)

Uninstalled. </p> <p>Rainmeter: Using the H.u.D vision skin at the moment. very much in love with it. Only problem is when I go into a full screen game eg Cod:WAW and alt tab out, the positioning of rainmeter widgets gets moved around by itself. Annoying but far from deal breaking. </p> <p>Emerge: Is there actually a guide anywehre to walkthrough how to make a desktop look so awesome as in the screenshot? Emerge.org's website has a link to cuztomize.org but there are no skins there. Just screenshots *Rolls eyes* Uninstalled for now.</p> <p>Rocketdock: Also very much in love with it, despite some people complaining it eats up a lot of resources compared to other docks, I dont see any problems. Stable and does the job it says it does. Very happy. </p> Spent the better part of today messing with a few of the mentioned options as well as the other ones mentioned in the US comments my experiences are as follows:

Bbclean: Crashed as soon as I went to access the “Readme” *rolls eyes* *uninstalled*

Samurize: Didn’t want to play nice, wanted to disable some aspects, just wouldn’t let me. Uninstalled.

Rocketdock: Also very much in love with it, despite some people complaining it eats up a lot of resources compared to other docks, I dont see any problems. Stable and does the job it says it does. Very happy.
