I have two screens side-by-side. Lefthand one usu. shows: xfire, ventrilo and TV; right-hand one is main workspace or Halo play screen.
Notes:
- My background is plain black, as that saves a LOT of electricity over the time that I have my computer on! (As does frugal use of Windows Power settings....)- When playing Halo I usually turn off the TV and stretch the ventrilo window to full height so I can see who's on/talking while I play.
- I hide my taskbar to give me the most workspace when I'm working on documents, spreadsheets, code, etc.
- The two links shown (right side of right screen) run a script to switch to a particular Halo profile before I join a game via xfire.
- Winamp pretty-much runs at all times while I'm at my computer....
- The right-hand monitor is on a 2-way
KVM switch and can toggle to my second PC.
