Dual 24" Acer P241w Monitors (1920x1200 ea.)
- Same Old PC Hardware as previous ScreenShots

Windows 7 beta (update: now 64bit version)
- watermarks and other annoyances stripped clean
- *note: before people rail either way; windows 7 loads from power button to completed desktop 15 seconds faster an windows XP SP2 & XP SP3 - highly customized versions of XP that did not even install certain services, let alone run them; Win7 currently includes -all- default windows services, and only 1 change: Media Center Network Sharing is Disabled. Additionally: All my applications mimic their performance in XP SP2/3, or perform better; particularly, the Adobe CS4 Suite loads much faster.
Say what you want, but Windows 7 has matched, if not outperformed XP, and includes visual upgrades that are well worth their weight. (and vista still sucks :D) - and, we're still talking beta.

FireFox 3.0.0.7
- extensive userChrome.css edits to main theme & extensions.
Extensions:
- Adblock Plus: if you don't have this; you shouldn't have FireFox either. god damn blessing!
- All-in-One Sidebar: the icon bar is customized and visible here; but a handy way to deal with a lot of pop-up windows by turning them in to sidebars instead.
- ColorfulTabs: colors the tabs; added benefit of coloring same-domain tabs from the same parent color.
- ColorZilla: when i want to steal a site's colors; this is god.
- Compact Menu 2: the tiny icon at the top of the sidebar? that's my File, Edit, Tools, etc menu.
- dAmnAutoJoin: combine this with an auto-opening tab to any one dA chatroom and its handy as hell.
- Download Status: add download status to status bar; nice way to make the download window useless and eliminate the goddamn thing.
- DownloadHelper: easy video downloading from various sites, not constantly useful, but it has moments.
- DownThemAll!: multi-threaded downloads; nice way to juice a website for the full worth of its download capacity.
- ErrorZilla Plus: remakes the firefox error pages (like file not found/server not found, etc.) with a buncha useful links.
- Extended Statusbar: not visible; its a second status bar that appears above the visible one, shows images downloaded/total, kb size downloaded/total, time spent, etc.
- Firesizer: shows current pixel size of FireFox and allows to reset to other sizes; common and custom.
- Fission: visual color load in the URL Bar & Tab.
- Glasser: makes the menu-bar semi-transparent.
- GooglePreview: adds a number of things to google search results; most importantly, recent screencaps of each result web page.
- Greasemonkey: lotsa usefulness.
- gui:config: extends firefox customizations.
- Header Spy: in-depth information about websites.
- Hyperwords: highlight & right-click search tool; powerful, lots of options.
- IE8 Activities(Accelerators): the best things about IE8 ported to FireFox (powerful right-click search tools, compliments Hyperwords nicely.)
- ImageTweak: various in-browser image tools.
- Locationbar2: customizes URL bar. lots of neat things; i like the spacing & individually linked levels (bread crumbing the URL bar.)
- MeasureIt: pixel dimensions of selected site areas.
- meebo: godsend; my all-in-one-in-firefox instant messenger.
- Menu Editor: lets me tweak the main file/edit/tools/etc menu & context menus.
- Menu Mod: additional File/Edit/Tools/Etc editing.
- Open Image in New Tab: nice context menu addition.
- Organize Status Bar: does what it says; organize where things appear when they're visible and permanently hide things you dont need visible.
- PDF Download: additional PDF viewing, downloading and creation options.
- Read it Later: temporary bookmarking for stuff to be.. read later!
- RetailMeNot: makes retailmenot.com working coupons appear as a top-of-window alert bar. has saved me a few bucks on sites i wouldnt have thought to run by RMN before.
- Screengrab: bunch of screencapping options for FireFox (full-page, visible-page, selected-area, file type, etc.)
- Stop Autoplay: prevents flash & the like from autoplaying; also adds a play button to hidden/full-transparent flash embedded in pages. ( white listing for sites whose flash you trust. )
- StumbleUpon: boredom filler; click for interesting sites; vote it, get better interesting sites next time; sort of like Netflix recommender.
- Stylish: god send - add customizations to all websites, specific sites, specific pages, and FireFox itself.
- Sxipper: password & form filler tool; best feature: multi-identities, works wonders for me and my trillion and one email and user accounts all over the web.
- Tab Mix Plus: tabs on crack; lotsa handy behavior options.
- Tab Scope: not visible; shows a small screencap of your tab when you mouseover; also adds basic controls (forward, back, refresh, stop - zoom: zoom allows in-preview scrolling and link clicking.)
- Toolbar Buttons: additional buttons for additional options.
- Tree Style Tabs: Mine's customized through userChrome & Stylish, but the left/right hand & tree/child options for tabs you see in my screenshot.
- User Agent Switcher: one of my tools for hiding from sites and investigating site behaviours (customize your OS, Browser & other signatures that servers/sites read when you enter.) - combined with Tor (or other proxies), this is the shit.
- Web Developer: in-browser tools for investigating sites, targetting css, html, etc. handy when troubleshooting busted css behaviours, or using Stylish to customize other sites.
- Woot Watcher: sticks woot.com product & price in your status bar; great during woot-offs; which also adds percentage sold of stock.
update: Xmarks (Foxmarks): synch & backup bookmarks, handy dandy. (nice profile system to stop certain bookmark folders from going to certain profiles really helpful too.)

- so, atop all those extensions, there's the custom .css sheets; installing my extensions & theme (Full Flat) won't get you this exact appearance; but close. i can probably wrap up the whole profile for someone who wants it; just gotta knock out the personal stuff (bookmarks, history, sxipper files.) - Note Me if you want this setup.

Additional:
- not all the icons you see on the windows bar are running; only those with frames (single frame - single window, multi-frame, multi-window) around them. the others are 'stuck' there - windows 7 combines the basic start bar and the quick launch bar; its amazingly intelligent and super convienent. also; fans of Launchy: the feature is built in to the start-menu now. just push the windows key and start typing; it'll do the rest.

(update) Desktop Wallpaper:
- this is a personally modified version of a wallpaper made by Brute! to promote a KMFDM/Pig tour. the original can be found through kmfdm.net.

(update) custom meebo:
- done through the stylish addon, this is an extreme mod of a prebuilt stylish, the background used here is from [link] - though i think it's no longer available.

Dig what you've done to Firefox, but does it come to a screeching halt with the amount of extensions you have running there?
:iconkilljoy:
lol. no, but the load time is a little lethargic. once it gets through that. it does good work!
