How does your W7 look?

What I've done:

-Found W7 wallpaper via google.
-Changed taskbar location from 'bottom' to 'right' using the options.
-Removed W7 watermark on bottom right.
-Use small icons for taskbar and start menu.
-Desktop icons are set to 'Small', the others seem to look funny for me because of how big they are.

I barely changed anything for the visual but I'm happy with the results so far.

*edit* I down-sized the pic to 800x600 for the forum, my native resolution is 1440x900.

I just finished my backup of Vista 64 Ultimate, and moved over to Windows 7 x64 ultimate last night.

I also removed the watermark, edited the locked screen background, and positioned the taskbar on the top of the screen. I edited out my second display for size and reduced the size for web viewing. So far I really like it, smooth and easy transition from Vista. Call of Duty 4 works (no more PB issues), and Team Fortress 2 is smooth as ice too, just need to check a couple more games and see how they run now. = )

I'm sitting at ~30 processes at startup, and less than 500mb of memory in use. Microsoft really picked up the slack after the longhorn debaucle in my opinion, and I'm looking forward to putting down some greenbacks next year when the RC support runs out. ; )

What login screen did you go with? I've been thinking bout changing it, just haven't found a screen that I liked yet.

I just do the resource hacker replacement and make the login screen emulate the same background that my desktop has. I did the same thing at work with Vista, as I lock my computer and dig having it look the same whether I'm at my desk or away...
