Post your desktop

You can trick OSX to be installed on any PC if you have the hacks to patch the installer. It isn't straight forward though and doesn't work with every PC.

As for running Amiga OS4 on a PPC Mac. Some have supposedly achieved it on a Mac Mini. Here is a video showing it in action. There also seem to be quite a few torrent hits for the Mac Mini hacked version of Amiga OS 4. Not sure about compatibility with other PPC macs though.

I love the variations in people's desktops - so many different themes.

Mines just the standard Royal Noir/Remixed theme with a few additions to keep it interesting.

Update - I just added a moon clock as well. It shows the time plus the current cycle!

How cool is that?

The moon clock is indeed nice

It is a great bit of kit - even looked out the window to check it was working - LOL!

Some cool additions to your desktop. Vista icons in XP I see!

Could you list what extra you have installed to produce that desktop? I would be interested to know. That moon clock is great too.

I once installed Stardock to play around and customise an XP system and that was very quickly removed again. It had huge system resource overheads and was quite unstable at the time.

I agree, you have to be careful and I'm quite similar in requiring low resource usage for desktop apps. I usually check how much they're using the hard drive or banging the registry, although with a monitoring app you will get registry use nearly every second.

The stuff on my pic are all very light on resources. Uses about 30MB of RAM in total; 20MB if you use a calendar widget rather than a stand alone program like I have.

The programs in use are:

Theme - Royale remixed (you'll have to patch your UXTheme.dll file, as Microsoft don't allow third party themes by default. If you don't want to do that, take a look at zune or other official themes). Brilliant theme, highly compatible (I've had no issues) and very good to look at. Comes with the default wallpaper shown and the icons.

Mac like dockbar - RocketDock (uses very little CPU also).

Calender with scheduling facilities - Rainlendar lite

Widgets, desktop monitors - Rainmeter (also check out Samurize).

Can't remember where all the original scripts came from for Rainmeter, you'll have to search (there are hundreds of themes I was browsing at the time).

I had a little tidy up yesterday and rewrote some of the scripts to update less often and look a little better:

Here is my current Windows XP desktop. I don't really use Windows XP much though.

Here is the cool background image: http://stevecoates.net/stuff/a500bg.jpg
Which came from this photograph: http://stevecoates.net/photos/fp4/35a500.jpg

I'm not sure whether that is my own A500+, or the one which ED209 sent me.

And if you enjoy seeing black and white photographs of computers which were taken with 50mm/f1.8 lenses, here is one of my current PC's motherboard: http://stevecoates.net/photos/fp4/11motherboard.jpg.
