Fences is very useful.
Download it.
i use it mainly for the "double click feature" that allows you to view or hide your icons with a double click...
also stress, do go into detail =D i wanted to be a programmer
im trying to get some idea as to a new desktop and rainmeter seems to be really the only choice, stardock is also an option but i dont want to just waste cpu...
I write kernel-level code, basically device drivers, file system filters, etc.
This code doesn't run in userspace, like most "programs" do. The screenshot I posted is from my Windows machine. I rarely write Windows drivers, though, and the only reason I actually use Windows is because I want to play Starcraft II, and my Mac can't really handle the game. Most of the work I did was for Linux. Everything is written in C, by the way. In Linux, the code is loaded as a Kernel module and then allows the Kernel to interface with physical (or virtual devices) and/or file systems. It's all simple in theory, but pretty hard to put in practice. The development environment I use is called acme. Acme is the proprietary development environment of the Plan9 operating system, but has been ported to Windows, BSD, Solaris and Linux as well. It's basically a tiling text editor, but it also offers shell integration, file system navigation and some other cool features, such as mouse chording, to do operations like cut, copy or paste. It can also be used as a mail client, but I don't really need that. acme looks like this:
