Ok for those that saw my first active desktop with my own links. I have taken into account your suggestions that it is too bight and created a whole diff one. The first one was simple html while the second uses JavaScript.
The links are in drop down boxes instead of directly on the page. ( more links to my favorite places) I have 5 boxes that will drop down. The first is for TechIMO with Home, Forums, and User CP as the drop down links. The boxes for the drop down are the same color as the desktop and have no borders. It looks very cool.
Check my
Active Desktop and let me know what you think.
