Went through all the random icons and files I had accumulated in the 3-4 months I've used my laptop for, and ended up with this:
Minimalism ftw
A folder of maintenance programs (ccleaner, spybot, malwarebytes, defraggler and MSE)
A shortcut to my school timetable so I can just press ctrl-alt-t to open my timetable (Haven't figured out how to allow keyboard shortcuts anywhere else)
And obviously, Minecraft.
And on the taskbar, Firefox, Explorer, MSN and MS Word.
I have used the purple only cause it went so well with my Joker based theme i created. It actually isnt that bad to use. I prefer the purple over some of the other colors that are offered by default.
