XP Goes Back to School [Featured Desktop]



Windows user Nabeel Ahmed has tricked out his desktop for back to school, by embedding his class schedule and todo.txt file with Samurize and customizing his icons and theme. Here's what Ahmed's got running on his back-to-school Windows XP desktop:

Visual Style: Razor 2 by Zrageburn
Wallpaper: Fingerprint by Manicho
Dock Icons: Sticker Icons
Apps:
Stardock ObjectDock for the dock at the bottom.
Samurize for embedding the clock, timetable and todo.txt
Google Chrome, big G's new shiny browser
Mozilla Firefox, my classic favorite.
Windows Media Player 11 for the podcasts.

He explains further:

The Samurize config took some editing. It was basically the Enigma config from Kaelri's setup but it was damn too cluttered for me. So I edited it to show my considerably shorter Todo.txt and my school timetable. The clock was kept the same, though made a bit smaller.

The dock background is already included when you install ObjectDock, so you know where to find it.

Hit the Flickr link to roll over various items on the desktop and see what's what. Then, take a screenshot and show off your handiwork in the Lifehacker Desktop Show and Tell group. Remember—we like desktops that come with explanations of your configuration, so do include as many details and links as possible to increase your chances of getting featured here.
