Fire Fox vs Google chrome?

I've never used wallpaper, it always seems to make it hard to find things.

It is when you paper over them.

I choose wallpapers with nice blocks of colour to put my icons in. Like a single image of a ~~butterfly~~ tarantula and a plain background. My current wallpaper is very busy, but I put most of my icons around the edges anyhow.

I just like to keep extraneous colour off the screen, Ben, it avoids distorting my colour perception if I'm working in Photoshop.

Me too. I use XP in W98 Classic mode and I have a lovely Theme. Every colour that Windows allows you to set is a shade of grey or black. Title bars, highlights, menus, desktop - all are a shade of grey or black.

We think alike, Dill.

I bet we shop with grey pounds too.

Rik · Aug 18, 2011, 17:59:08

Plastic ones in my case.

Glenn · Aug 18, 2011, 18:05:57

Do you both carry too many - not paper or plactic ones?

Rik · Aug 18, 2011, 18:09:01

I do.

But I have lost 10kg in the past year.

armadillo · Aug 18, 2011, 18:20:36

Not me Glenn. I could do with a few more - paper, plastic and flesh.

Rik · Aug 18, 2011, 18:22:14

I can supply the flesh - one careful owner.

Another dinosaur here - except in my case, most of my machines are running XP and looking like Win 98.

Whaddya mean you don't like deep blue and green

I did set the taskbar and window elements to British Racing Green for a couple of days but it was painful to look at.
