The shortcuts your talking about is called a Dock. There are several different ones you can get. I use Both ObjectDock, and RocketDock. RocketDock is the one at the bottom. ObjectDock isn't showed in the screen shot because I have it set to only pop up when I put my mouse over it. The rest is RainMeter, which at first may seem complicated, but isn't to hard. It takes time to learn how everything works, and to get it how you want it. I've probably got 10 hours into customizing mine. Thats including spending hours looking for themes, and icons I like though, which I've very picky about.

I just started messing with Docks.

Instead of changing the icons all together, is there a way to give them a different look, for example, a rusty look?

Ubuntu Studio X64.

Im shocked at how fast Linux runs compared to windows,I was running this in a Virtual machine with 1GB ram,1 cpu core and 12mb vid memory and it just flys,alot faster than Windows is on my SSD and my full system :D

I really hope one day Linux takes off and goes somewhat mainstream,I cant see why not i mean it has ALOT of potential.

^ I have been meaning to try Ubuntu Studio for a while now. How do you like it?

I agree with you that I wish that Linux would take off. It has been amazing me since the day I started using it. Unfortunately I thing most people are too afraid of change to give it a try.

I like it alot,Its not all that much diffrent from the standard Ubuntu install really,software center was missing so i had to install that within Terminal,but nothing that a quick google search couldnt help me with.

I think thats what puts alot of people off from using Linux is those commands,but thats the only time ive actually had to use it.

Using this today just really shows how slow windows actually is in comparison. :D

Synaptic is good for downloading the extra plugins that you would normally get through the terminal. I use it all the time to grab extra packages.
