Just remove everything that you don't use on a regular basis, or things that you usually don't directly click (like video players). And potentially maximize your use of Launchpad.Kurogamii wrote:

Back when I used a Macbook Air, I only had Chrome and my Apps folder on my dock and I did just fine.

That's called the menu bar, not the status barKurogamii wrote:

I'd suggest getting hiding useless or unessential stuff like Time Machine by Command+Dragging them off the bar or using something like Broomstick. I'd also try to avoid stuff like that "Free Space" counter or the HDD RPM meter you have, since you don't really need it to be on your screen all the time (and you can enable the status bar in Finder anyways, which will show the free space on your HDD at the bottom of the window). I'd also advise disabling the fast-user switcher (the thing that shows your username) but it's up to you to decide if the extra space there is worth t.
Also, there's an app called Bartender you might want to look into; it seems to hide menubar icons similar to the way Windows does it (which makes it look clean no matter how many icons you have)... but I've never used it since you have to pay for it.

that's FreeMemory stuff because my RAM only have 4GB of capacity, but now change to Memory Keeper, more effective and accurate
thanks for your advice sir!
my suggestion is keep that one *-*
i actually found it but thanks <3Miyu wrote:

The dock is mainly just for games and various programs... xD
The taskbar hides itself automatically. c:
The background would've been a Galaco pic, but I haven't been able to find any good ones yet. :c
Can't find any rainmeter or something that suited the BG... but yeah whatever

Recently got into the whole "remove everything from your desktop" thing.
Been using this one for a while now. I still love it.
Another month, another wallpaper~
No kitsune this time though.

I had loads of shizzles, but I cleaned it.
My picture is Dai Yoshihara's S13 (R.I.P - except for the stupid V8)
Yeah, I always changed wallpaper when I feel like It...
Spent like five hours and completely re-did the entire thing. Still no decent Galaco wallpaper though (except the Galaco pic in the corner, but that one is too colorful and bright). ;~;
Not sure what to do with my taskbar or whether I should even keep the dock I have to the left. ._.
Three of the four pictures I have on there are on a random cycle (I have 235 Vocaloid pictures so I thought I might as well put them all to good use) while the fourth is just a static pic.
The big box thing is a uh... folder browser, I guess, while the hexagon thing can link directly to specific items along with having four different categories (the fifth just opens your browser). I opened it to show how it looks, but it doesn't have to stay open. o 3o
I might mess with it some more some other time, but I am definitely done with my desktop for now. ~Five hours is enough. ._.;
Oh god.
I want to upload the one I'm using currently, but upppy refuses to work. I should make a new theme.
