    What version of Windows is that? Can you still click the desktop, hold down Ctrl & scroll the icons up and down in size?

    That's for Windows 10. Also, yes you can.

    You can also right-click on the desktop and change your icon size in Windows 7.

    The the icons are so huge because it's my laptop and though I usually hook it up to my 32" screen, it's also a touchscreen and I need to be able to touch them easily with my big fingers. Little icons do nothing for me. :techman:

    BTW, I also have the font settings set to larger scale than normal.

    Ooh, I like the color scheme on that one! Is that the Resistance logo?

    Here's mine for this week (it's from Rosario+Vampire):

    Ah Japan you never cease to amuse me.

    I love Japan. If I could overcome the language barrier (Japanese is absurdly difficult for me), I'd move there in a heartbeat.

    I know hello and goodbye, and that's basically about it. Haha..

    I wasn't trying to be mean but their fascination with almost underage looking animated girls. I find that amusing.

    Japan likes to push every boundary, and that's one of the reasons I love them. As for their art style, there are so many you can't really pin it down to just one kind. The "underage looking animated girls" thing has a number of different perspectives. Usually, they represent innocence, trust, structure, and all of the positives we would hope to find in a civilized society.

    This is wholly from my very white and male point of view (so take it with a grain of salt), but Japanese people look much younger than their ages, at least to these eyes. A 40 year old Japanese man or woman may look 20 to me, so I don't really look at it as some kind of perversion, not that you're alluding to such. They just look young. Plus, a lot of manga in Japan centers around school, probably because it represents the culture, structure, and discipline I mentioned earlier.

    In the case of Rosario+Vampire, they attend a private school, which could be high school or college, I can't quite remember. Regardless, my favorite character is Mizori, though Moka (the lead character) is all kinds of sweet but badass, because she's a vampire, and has all these great abilities she uses to beat the *yay* out of monsters. It's a fun show, though it is an adult show, so, you know, keep that in mind if you decide to check it out.
