I don't think Teddy Roosevelt fighting Sasquatch while carrying that American flag counts as... mellow.

Not to mention:
His aim sucks if he can only wing Sasquatch on full auto at a range of about 9 feet.
We didn't have a radiation logo like that until 1946.
Or M60 machine guns. The best that would have existed then was the Maxim Gun.
But I will give credit for using the 43 start flagof that period.

Bah I don't mean the wallpapers. I mean the customization. Those look pretty stock, haha.

It's kind of hard to customize Windowz 7. You can move the taskbar and change window colors, but that's about it.

You can use rainmeter and all kinds of other tools. My old Windows 7 machine:

Just my personal opinion but if you have enough time to worry about pretty-ing up your desktop - or can even SEE the desktop - custom themeing and so on, then you either aren't working hard enough or you aren't playing hard enough.

If you are working, then none of that matters because you can't see it anyway. I have three screens and can't see past all the work.

If you are off duty, then what the frak are you doing sitting at the computer for so long that any of that matters? Get off your arse and go do something in the outside world. Wash your vehicle. Go for a hike. Shoot some photos. Join a club. Read a {coding} book. Take a class at the community college. Go to the gym. Build something.

I don't even bother with Windows, frankly I get nothing done on it. There is not enough space for me. This is my work horse:

Clean:

Dirty:
http://ompldr.org/vOXdiZw

I customized that window manager myself in C. My hobby is programming. It's what I do for fun. I like to get down there and mess around. Plus, I am a fan of minimalism. I can't stand most OSes because they are so cluttered up which led me to customize a lot to get rid of the junk.

As a profession I am a teacher in an elementary school. I work 4 hours a day. I have a lot of free time. :)
