Me? I'm a minimalist. I like photographs and graphics and I find the icons and doodads too distracting since they tend to be so cartoony and space-hogging.

That's why I'm still hoping that OS2009 will remove the need for large icons on the left side of the screen, will allow more applets to appear on the left (or, at least, let there be a simple arrow down for a 2nd tier of applets to appear onscreen) and someone will come up with a simple applet like SimpleLauncher.

It would also be great is someone could come up with a way to replace current icons with new ones with the same properties as replacement icons used on Macs or Windows machines - without having to go through the root function.

Of course, I guess this makes me sound like a lazy Linuxian so let me claim that title right now: I Am A Proud Lazy Linuxian! (t-shirts will be sold on the way out of the building).
