Wow, that's impressive, my laptop and work desktop have a "plain" lcars desktop with the federation badge in the middle and not much else.  Yours looks great.

Was looking up ships status displays, and the 1701B looked the coolest. So I found a large image, and popped it on. The amount of 'good griefs' I get when people at work see it makes me proud to be a geek. Smile

Heh, Thats funny. I had one for the Akira class once. But that one looks really crisp and clear.

I wish I had a new laptop. But I suppose I will get one after bootcamp.

Sir,

Two things:

1)  Any chance of getting a copy of the theme?

2)  I don't think anyone noticed, so I feel, as a member of the Security Staff it is my duty to mention this.  "running (in very small letters) Vista  :o shame on you.  Unless of course, you had no choice but the have that abomination on your system, in which case, please accept my deepest sympathy  :)

The theme is one of the standards. Just changed the desktop and user picture. I think the desktop just matched the background colour with the image.

Vista was the only option, salesman looked at me funny when I asked if it could be installed with xp instead. (It is obsolete now, sir, but if you want, you could buy a copy from ebay. Should only cost you about 100GBP.) I said I would probably just install some version of linux on it, you should have seen his face. Smile
