Like the title says sometimes you buy hardware to improve your workflow or experience. And then something doesn’t fit or works. ZONK Normally I research the web and make sure that the hardware is compatible with my system board and so on secondly I try to figure out the specs look for reviews and tests of the hardware then I compare the brands that are existing and last I want to know noise levels of the hardware since its standing right on my desk. In my case the

[quote who="the_Monk" reply="40" id="3344996"] The command prompt is usually half of the screen so even changing the wallpaper seemed pointless. Also in windows versions pre Win8 I found myself using the desktop as little more than a dumping ground for misc files. So I really like an OS that keeps the desktop at arms-length for me......not tempted as much to just dump crap there.....hehe[/quote] :D ok, i knew you would say something like that haha

[quote who="starkers" reply="30" id="3344851"]Exactly right, Win 8 is a great OS and betters Win 7 in both speed and stability. Trouble is, it suffered the same fate as Vista, with media and various 'experts' shooting it down in flames during the beta versions, and from there Win 8 had an uphill battle to gain ground with a public that had taken the so-called experts words as gospel, many of them without even trying it[/quote] Haha<span class="apple-converted-space

The problem is that if you have lets say a blue background and then a brighter blue font or green you are limited to certain colors especially if you pick a bad font color it strangely can happen that all of the font looks blurry or smudged... The Decision for me mostly depends on- is the skin for myself or do i make a skin for someone else, if its for others then make it how you think its cool and if necessary you can still change the color or the font type afterwards. BTW you can
