osu! is a freeware clone of Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (or, Elite Beat Agents). It's pretty good.

FastStone image viewer is, well, an image viewer. And a batch image processing thing. Though, I mostly use it to make avatars and wallpapers, because it's more convenient to use than Paint.NET or GIMP (takes less time to start up, mostly), and it's better at resizing and saving pictures than Paint.

@GMH: I usually have a few files (right now, it's a lab manual, an ebook of Alice in Wonderland, and a copy of the 2009 MUTCD) pinned to my Foxit jump list, so I can just open it by right-clicking the icon instead of having to find them in their folders.

Jump lists are one of the few "look, it's new!" features of Windows 7 I've actually started using.

My wallpaper

Also my tabs

^ HOW DO YOU SKIN YOUR START MENU BUTTON, Internet Explorer, Windows???, Media Player, MSN Messenger, Firefox

^^ Oh. Well I usually keep my associated files in the right folders, so I know where to look for everything.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-03-22 13:24:39

I think I've rarely ever used "recent documents" lists.

How do I used Win98/PLUS! themes with Win7?

Nyktos · 2011-03-22 16:13:04

@GMH: The unknowns are IceChat and Avast. (The latter is animated and the screenshot caught it when the logo wasn't visible.)

@snowfoxofdeath: I used to use Linux.

@Libraries: I do not like this feature.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-03-22 16:16:06

Oh! Avast! Duh.

Komodin · 2011-03-22 17:14:00

@GMH: "Chrome, File Manager Windows Explorer, Windows Media Player, unknown, unknown (Rainlendar?), Microsoft Word, MS Paint, Steam, unknown, Internet Explorer, Firefox, battery, wireless signal, volume, and you have Rainlendar up there."

The unknowns are: Toshiba Bulletin Board, Toshiba ReelTime and Project64, respectively. See, I mainly use a Toshiba Satellite laptop nowadays and...

glennmagusharvey · 2011-03-22 17:33:44

...it comes with a lot of Toshiba-made control software.

Komodin · 2011-03-22 17:35:05

Prexactly.

Central Avenue · 2011-03-22 17:36:42

@Central Avenue: Firefox, Chrome, File Manager Windows Explorer, Microsoft Word, unknown, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Powerpoint, unknown, GIMP, Media Player Classic, Foxit Reader, unknown, and you took down your picture before I could get to the tray icons

Unknowns (in order): iTunes, Notepad++, and Inkscape.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-03-22 17:38:42

Komodin, you're in Brooklyn?

Nyktos · 2011-03-22 17:43:10

New wallpaper.

Komodin · 2011-03-22 17:44:58

Yes.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-03-22 18:31:02

Turn off display? How does that work?

@Komodin: Do you know much about southern Queens (and western Nassau County) neighborhoods, ones around JFK or so?

Nyktos · 2011-03-22 19:24:14

It, uh, turns off the display. The computer does this automatically if left idle for a while, but I'm impatient sometimes. I use it if I want to download something at night and don't want to wait fifteen minutes for the screen to shut off.

Laptop monitors should just have their own on/off button.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-03-23 00:01:48

Oh.

I just set "closing the lid" to "do nothing", but it turns off the screen anyway. So I just close the lid.

DYRE · 2011-03-23 00:07:38

I hit Fn+F8. Since that turns off the screen on my computer.

Unknown_Entity · 2011-03-23 01:07:53

why yes, there is more then one linux user

also:

' I just set "closing the lid" to "do nothing", but it turns off the screen anyway.'

^ that's due to the fact closing the lid trips something similar to an on/off switch; on my old laptop it was inside of where the left hook on top of the screen clipped in

glennmagusharvey · 2011-03-26 13:07:40

Yeah, I know. It actually broke off in the case of my dad's/my/my mom's old Dell laptop.

Newer laptops seem to hide the switch.

Unknown_Entity · 2011-03-26 23:09:50

I noticed that with my own new one, actually. I can't find a trigger anywhere on it

KousakaKirino · 2011-03-27 06:45:00

Since all the cool kids are doing it...

KousakaKirino · 2011-03-27 06:55:25

Also, I normally hide my desktop icons but showed them for the screenie.

Komodin · 2011-03-27 07:08:45

Okay, since this is pretty much the "post your desktop" thread now, here's my latest desktop image. You'll probably be a little surprised.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-03-27 10:30:44

Of course I am! I can't see Sonic anywh--no wait, never mind, it's on your taskbar, followed by NoCash, Firefox, IE, Adobe Acrobat, and Windows Picture Viewer. Everything's still right with this world.

Kirino: Mu, Opera, Twitter, unknown, unknown, Show Desktop, unknown, unknown, Trillian? And is this XP? XP skinning FTW. And are those notes about animé news?

KousakaKirino · 2011-03-27 10:47:23

GMH: Mu, Opera, Tweetdeck, iTunesKeys, Breakaway Audio DSP, Show Desktop, Ragnarok Battle Offline, Saezuri, Yahoo Messenger. This is XP and yes, those notes are related to animanga and a bit of school.

I'm sure you've noted the eroge on my desktop.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-03-27 11:53:36

I just noticed animesque art; I am not familiar with its origin and thus did not identify it as an eroge.

Komodin · 2011-04-07 21:51:58

-hands thread an extra life, with accompanying jingle-

Hey, guys, check out my new desktop image! I assure you that, this time, it will probably shock you!

Howdy, Stranger!
