Hello Zakiro!
I see your rocking the top panel and the bottom taskbar at the same time, what a rebel, take that Microsoft! HAHA! Plus, such pretty autum trees arn't they? I wonder if there are any goats in those hills.

Now I feel like the octopus was bad lol. The I went to add galaxy as my profile and that didn't feel right either. I dived into the internet to find a good one as a replacement, nothing felt right. Now I am in the process of finding a good on that is not too much eye catchy but something that does standout.
Thanks.

Praise all that is beautiful in life, for I am not worthy to gaze upon her beauty. 
But alas, I cannot help it, my heart forces me to gaze upon her with the windows to my soul. 
Shakes head, what were we doing? Or right, your Zorin desktop, the conky, if that is what it is, is totally awesome, beyond words.
The icons on your desktop, make me think of Windows, don't know why. I also appreciate the same transparency that I am doing with my panel, you are doing as well. But you have some customization going on with that panel though.
Over all, I have to give you an A++++ for this desktop. Checking your approval rating, survey says, you've exceeded your WOW factor, and tipped the scale, 100% is your approval rating.
Wait, whats this? The crowd is cheering, turns back around. How can this be, your approval rating has now gone beyond 100% and is now 200%! The lights flicker, the screen shatters, and were now in the dark.
Hmm, I guess your desktop was too much for our technology too. Thats ok, we can buy new ones. Excellent job.

Yes of course! Her name is Yaxill, she is the leader of the Crimson fire. They guard a sacred chamber, that only one may enter, one who is worth, her name, Laura Croft. Everybody else dies for even thinking about entering the chamber. And believe me, you don't want to cross that lady, she will bust you up lol.

Man, really I was amazed by her, playing that game (she's more agile and athletic than Lara).
I played it like 6 times on different levels (with keyboard an mouse)

What I thought in my mind after seeing this after the Yaxill one: You have a weird taste in beauty.
Of course I know the truth. But still...

The truth is there for those who wish to see it, for they only need to open their mind, and the answer will not be hard to miss.
I have an Asian heart, so I see beauty that some other's may not appreciate. For beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
But no, I am not interested in Yaxill of the Crimson Fire Jeslin lol. Its ok if you like her though.

I think you guys did not get it 
Your post after Yaxill made it look like you were praising Yaxill's "beauty." That was what I was talking about.. Sorry if you feel offended Yaxill, I don't think you are beautiful.

It took me so long to write that post, that he had posted another desktop background before I could hit submit. This is why you have to look at the who was this message replying to thing to be sure.
You silly Jeslin I tell ya lol.

Thank you, I've spent some time scripting and getting to know how conky works. All thanks to Zorin who opened another door for me while learning about Linux.

Aravisian, I noticed that you're using a XFCE desktop - and I believe you're using Zorin Core which doesn't deliver XFCE as a standard desktop, so is there a special reason for this?

I use XFCE or Cinnamon Desktop. As Zorin OS 16 Lite has not been released and I was testing Zorin OS 16 Core Beta; I installed XFCE on Core.

So you're not a fan of Gnome, I guess.
What are the advantages or is just personal that you're using Cinnamon instead of Gnome?

I am definitely not a fan of Gnome. I find Gnome and Canonical both to behave in the same way Microsoft does. What led me away from Microsoft, I find in Gnome. For example, the lack of ethics; in trying to assert itself as the dominant desktop by undercutting other desktops.
More so, the way Gnome D.E. asserts its dominance and control over me, as the user and owner of my own computer.
The advantages are then clear: Avoidance of being controlled by the desktop and instead, having all the configuration available to me to set up my workstation in a manner that suits me. Having the settings and parameters available; The Toolbar present with my tools organized and readily available instead of scattered about and hidden like Gnome does.
Some users are fine with default settings or minimal configuration. Which is diversity. However, having the options available are also diversity and my issue with Gnome is that it seeks to Enforce its "vision" of Mobile Phone style desktop environment on everyone, removing diversity, functionality, options and settings.
There is no desktop environment, in Windows, Linux or Mac, that removes user functionality as much as Gnome does. Gnome knows this and even finally admits its intentions and has even tried to Pull Out of the Gnu General License, stating that Open Source restricts Gnome from achieving "its vision."
In my humble opinion, Gnome Needs to Just Die.

Thank you for the information, I didn't know that. Perhaps something for me to consider in the future. But right now I think using Gnome works pretty well for me, I can adjust is to my own liking. Perhaps because it mimics my phone (android).
Before Zorin I was using MAUI Linux (came with a Plasma desktop) because of the speed and stability, but sadly enough the project stopped. But I was hooked on Plasma, thats why I still use Dolphin in Zorin (in my opinion the best FM). I've tried Zorin with a plasma desktop, but is wasn't what i expected. So i combined Gnome with some Plasma apps.
I've tried MXlinux with a XFCE desktop but for me its to "messy" it way to much u can adjust, perhaps thats oke with others but I say no, and above all it doesn't look as professional as Gnome does.
Have u ever tried windowsfx comes with a plasma an cinnamon desktop and lots of Windos apps preinstalled. I've installed it beside Zorin for a couple month but still was attracted to Zorin.
So for me Zorin with Gnome for now is the best outcome.
Stable as hell (I can feed/install whatever I choose it still keep running smooth) and I like the startup an closing down time its better than any derivative I tried.
