i had one, but then i got more icons, so i switched it up a bit.

[Jick]

Yes, I know. My desktop is bare. I guess I just like to keep things tighty. :p

[Ben Rogers]

Mine even more so. I don't use desktop shortcuts, I use the start menu, and quick launch. I even clean out my "all programs" list, to make it one list. Down with Works! :p

http://projep.no-ip.com:81/test/images/forum/desktop.PNG - I compressed it at level 6 with irFanView, but too big for teh upload.

[rhsunderground]

i have folders there because i have my desktop taskbar set to pop up on the left of ma screen and it's nice to access them easily as such.

Indeed. I probably don't need 90% of what's on there, but if I delete stuff then the icons I do need will move and that simply won't do.

This morning something happened and my pc modem and router were all off when I got up and I had to change some plugs. My ip was changed so I had to reset my dns (I have a long last (staic for usually 3 to 4 months at a time) ip, so I had to reset my dns manually. I also did not know at the time but all of my router config got messed up becuase my local ip moved from 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.101 and I had to change my server, firewall, and dmz settings for this. But my server is back up so look at my desktop.

It was the brits who actually said: "This land is no longer yours, it belongs to these guys over here, who were burned in some oven's by the ruler you sympathized with's nation". Or something like that. Now if you said it was Israel that invaded lebanon, I would give you that one because they did do that, but that was because the PLO was up there (lead by arafat) and they ran up there after launching attacks on Israel.

You are the first person I have seen use olive green. If they had a jungle green I would be all over it, but I just do not like that shade myself.

[Daniel T]

Actually, I was using silver up until yesterday. I just decided it was time for a change, cuz the silver was getting boring, and the blue is rather ugly.

[Ben Rogers]

Woot. Having your own pictures on your desktop (http://projep.no-ip.com:81/test/images/forum/desktop.PNG) may be a little bigoted, but I messed with it quite a bit to get it the way I wanted in PhotoSuite (I gots none of dem phancay Photoshops) and it looks pretty nifty- and is still more simplistic than Dan's, who doesn't have the common courtesy to close all message windows and is apparently colour blind. (They need a black and silver, instead of silver and green, but silver is the best for now.)

You could get StyleXP.

Originally posted by Neczy

First off let me tell everyone what style xp is. Style xp is a program that allows you to mod your startup pic, among other things and will basically let you get a "skin" for windows. The downside is a process has to be running for it to work. The process uses like no resouces, but it is a "trial" if you do not want to try and download a pro vers. That means that after 30 days it is going to bug you to upgrade and shut down and do other annoying crap. I stopped using it because it got on my nerves and it was not that cool. I just use the no-frills default blue.

Umm...I don't know. I think it's because it's XP Professional not Home.

Alternatively, you've themed it, because Pro looks the same as Home.

Hey, you caused me work. I struck you as the type who knew what "bureaucratic" meant? :p

[hooloovoo24]

okay my mistake...sorry for making you learn.

And, I guess you're right, spinnyscripter. They also enjoy making people's lives miserable.

[Ben Rogers]

Hehe. Thank you, HIV. Thank you.

[Ben Rogers]

Oh, and by the way, this thread had something to do with desktops at one point, yes? (I love being the bad guy as much as I like getting forked in the eye (but maybe I'm kinky) but, hey, good threads don't get locked).

Uses the gaara desktop I showed earlier, and the wheat desktop momofull comes with as bases. Pink wheat is sexy.

Rawr.

[hooloovoo24]

Right desktops. Here's the desktop from the desktop (Wow that was sad) computer that's the family's. As you can see, it's cluttered with a lot of crap.

[Ben Rogers]

It's pretty (http://img438.imageshack.us/img438/6315/screeny6ps.jpg)...still based off momo's default. Pink colourized wheat, pretty much.

[David Harrison]

Here's mine again, different wallpaper, slightly different drive letters because I did some renaming.

The wallpaper is a screen shot from the intro to Black & White 2, if you're wondering why it looks kinda dithery, that's because it's saved as a jpg on 60% compression so I could get it under the 100KB limit...

Actually it doesnt look too bad, but when compared to the original you can see that some areas have lost detail and become a bit blurry, meh.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

the wallpaper rocks, but the rest is a bit "standard" ;)

Is that me in the backyard?

[Ben Rogers]

Ew. I would so not eat that cake after he did that, as delicious as cake is.

Damn kids! :p

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

hah! i ve almost been fooled, i thought the cake was the whole purple thing, then i clicked on the pic and actually it's just the small upper part! haha

[Ben Rogers]

Rizz...you might want to try giving the kid colour, too. Not that focusing on the cake is bad, but it would better focus the picture, methinks. The moment isn't all about the cake. Eat something before doing imagery work.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

hahaha!

[David Harrison]

the wallpaper rocks, but the rest is a bit "standard" ;)I'm one of those weird and wacky people that kinda likes the default XP theme, I just change the desktop background every so often when I find something that looks cool.

I decided that I didn't like that uber-compressed jpg so I uploaded a png and a low compression jpg.

[Ben Rogers]

Aside from graininess, they seem the same.

But what is that panda?

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

maybe that antivirus software, how was it called again?

[David Harrison]

It's anti virus, and it's called Panda Antivirus, or at least that's what it used to be called, now apparently it's, "Panda Platinum 2005 Internet Security".

The anti-virus is pretty damn good, although the firewall is a nightmare because it's overly restrictive, so I leave that part of it disabled.

[Ben Rogers]

And why would you be at a risk from viruses, eh?

[David Harrison]

Because I run Windows.

[Ben Rogers]

As do I. But as soon as I switched to torrents, I stopped having problems. Through IE, Ares, and Kazaa I got some crap, but I haven't had any problems for a long time now. Granted, I've reloaded quite often, but...

[David Harrison]

I've not had a virus problem in ... I can't actually remember.

I can't remember the last time I got ad-ware or spy-ware either, so either this Panda does it's job or I'm just good at not getting crap. It is somewhat re-assuring to run a complete full system scan every once in a while and find out that my computer is totally clean though. ;)

Resolution is 1440x900. And there are two marks: 800px and 1024px - for simple testing elastic designs

[theuedimaster]

This is mine right now.

[Sunny G]

Dude, theuedimaster, are you running Windows Vista?

[rhsunderground]

my guess is that it's just an XP theme

[Ben Rogers]

I'm fairly sure the Rizz is right.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

doesnt even look close to it, take a look at the desktop icons

[theuedimaster]

Dude, theuedimaster, are you running Windows Vista?
Its a theme for windowsblinds called StealthOS. I've been using it, and loving it, for the past few months. The wallpaper is from http://www.deviantart.com

[NogDog]

Just finished installing SuSE Linux 10.0 on my notebook. :)

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

looks nice, tho the image is a bit small, (or is it your notbook that has a 2" screen? :P)

did you take the picture (background)?

[NogDog]

I scaled the image to 1/2 size so it wouldn't take up as much space. It's actually 1024x768.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

yah, i was kidding, but i don't think you had to shrink it that much, you can upload stuff up to 100kB

[Sunny G]

yah, i was kidding, but i don't think you had to shrink it that much, you can upload stuff up to 100kB

True, but it is always good to save space on computers. I've got a star wars game that takes up 4 gigs- Really slows the computer down...

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

well, it depens of the computer. I was not talking about this im afraid, but about what you can upload and attach to your post

[Sunny G]

Yeah, I know what you were talking about.
I just like to keep attachments in general as small as possible (ASAP:))

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

well, i usually keep them as big as humanly possible and allowed (ABAHPAA)

[Ben Rogers]

I usually don't care (DC).

Why in God's name are you using IE!!!!! Blasphemy!

[saulss]

Why in God's name are you using IE!!!!! Blasphemy!Blasphemy (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2005-20,GGLG:en&q=define%3ABlasphemy)

First of all, why such words?
now ie isnt that bad... it all depends on how you use it (websites you visit, programs you download, plugins you install, how you protect it, setting you use, etc).
Now i like firefox too (http://www.saulss.devisland.net/screenshots/ffshort.jpg)(and a wide variety of programs like gimp, filezilla and more), it follows the standards, also has other interesting features included.
Still, i like ie, like you might like ff. (i use ie mostly because it seems to respond faster and better for the things i run on it :D )
At the end ALL browsers have flaws, All of em are made by ppl (with flaws too :p), it's just a matter of time before their flaws are spoted.

[MstrBob]

Yes, however, some browsers have more flaws, with fewer fixes farer between, don't support all the modern technologies, and go several years without any serious development between versions.

Thankfully, we have Firefox, Mozilla Suite, Safari, Opera, Konqueror, ect.

[saulss]

agree

[theuedimaster]

Blasphemy (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2005-20,GGLG:en&q=define%3ABlasphemy)

First of all, why such words?

I like being dramatic ;).

Still, i like ie, like you might like ff. (i use ie mostly because it seems to respond faster and better for the things i run on it :D )

I agree, IE is much faster because of how tightly integrated it is with the whole windows explorer thing etc. Why can't firefox do the same thing? Or do they want it to use a move universal background or something? Or is using windows explorer more insecure, which I highly doubt....?

[Ben Rogers]

Truthfully, I found Firefox on Linux to be very tightly integrated, but I also find windows browsers to all be at about the same level of speed. I don't understand that argument.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

firefox works swiftly for me (on windows)

plus IE takes so much time until it finds out that the page doesnt exist, and output a 404.. :p

[MstrBob]

Generally, on Windows, when you use an application more often, it'll boot faster. It prefetches data so that your favourite apps are quicker to open. For me, it takes longer to boot Internet Explorer, although admittedly, not by much. Although Firefox does render pages faster than Explorer.

Oddly enough, Opera outdoes all three!

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

Really? The hairy mod will be pleased to hear that

[David Harrison]

Strangely enough, I don't notice wait time on ... well, anything really. :p

Although loading PSP9 can get a bit boring, so I just use PSP6, does everything I need it to.

[saulss]

ive seen ppl using different operating systems... (i believe linux based), now i have this old computer laying around and would like to install another os in it, can anyone give me some recomendations or a guide to do so? ...plz

[MstrBob]

Suse 10 (http://www.opensuse.org/Download)

Resurrected an old laptop of mine (Used Suse 9.2, this was before 10 was released). In my opinion, the best Linux distro out there. Incredibly easy to use.

[NogDog]

I installed SuSE Linux 10.0 on a HP Pavillion notebook that's a few years old now (Pentium III @ 500MHz with 256MB RAM). It was relatively painless, though I had to poke around the web a bit to figure out how to disable the "tap to click" feature on the mousepad, which I don't like to use and was way too sensitive. The 256MB RAM is the minimum amount needed, with at least 512MB being recommended.

[saulss]

thanx

[Ultimater]

An update of my desktop.
http://www.aplustv.com/public_stuff/cloud-ff7-.bmp

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

mine :D

[hooloovoo24]

What exactly is that island? It reminds me of "Lost"

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

don't think so, tho i dunno what island it is

[hooloovoo24]

Is it just a standard desktop picture that came with the computer? I don't know why it reminds me of "Lost" it just does. I think I'm going through withdrawals.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

no, it's a desktop picture i found somewhere, but anyway it is a beautiful island would love to spend my days there, if i had a stargate, my computer and a T3 connection

[hooloovoo24]

Yeah...that's kind of my thought on the matter. It looks almost perfect, but anywhere without my computer would not be paradise! :D

[Jupac]

Mine =)

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

first, we all know jick's e-mail now!
and..is your resolution like 800x600? j/k, but your icons are as big as a window! ;):p

[hooloovoo24]

as promised, here's the desktop from my laptop. Nothing special, really, but I just love my picture...

[PeOfEo]

Mine =)

http://server3.uploadit.org/files/jt490250-desky.JPG Reminds me of the Island Deck manna for MTG :x

Yes, when I was a wee lad in middle school I played MTG.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

that background image is....weird

[Ben Rogers]

LOL! Mel, that desktop is awesome!

[Ness_du_Frat]

Here is mine.
Yeah, I know I should clean up...
But believe me, this is quite ok compared to what I had one month ago. I have two screens. One was completly full with icons, and this one was three quarters full too. :)
My screen is 1280 x 1024. I reduiced the file to have it under 100kb.

[Ben Rogers]

Why do you have three Firefox windows open...? You've not heard of tabs...?

[Ness_du_Frat]

Why do you have three Firefox windows open...? You've not heard of tabs...?
lol ! I do, but I had like 10 tabs on them each, so I guess I wanted some space...

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

whaQ! that desktop is full!

[Ness_du_Frat]

yeah, it's a bit like my room. Full. And very messy, too...

[Ultimater]

Gezz.. Ness.. You got 29 more icons on your desktop than my biggest desktop I've posted in here (I counted 82 on your desktop)
http://www.aplustv.com/public_stuff/ultimater_desktop.bmp

Crazy, just crazy!

[Ben Rogers]

...I only have one, and that's just because I don't know how to get rid of it...

[PeOfEo]

here is my desktop's. It rules.

[Jupac]

Nice Nick =)
P.S Can you hook me up with it

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

...I only have one, and that's just because I don't know how to get rid of it...
i'll assume you're talking about the hated icon (http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article05-013)..

oh and ness, you've got 82 more icons than me then ;)

[Ben Rogers]

LCF, Dave already helped me out, but thanks. I need a new WinVS...anyone know of any good ones? Right now I'm using "MOMO Full" from Deviant, and it's good, but I just want a breath of fresh air, y'know? Haven't been able to find another I liked (yes, I've tried Luna Elements, used it before MOMO).

[hooloovoo24]

that background image is....weird

hehe I'm glad you like it. If you've never seen Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, then you won't understand. It's the most awesome scene from the whole movie.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

oh, remember? none of my friends wanted to see it! (and i haven't seen it yet)

And as I said, I did some cleaning... I used to have much more than that...
Imagine that one screen was TOTALLY full with icons, and the other one, 3 quarters full...
Like, 150, at least...
I'm a messy person. :D

so you have to add it to your sig:

Yes, it's me. The girl with the iframes, the colored scrollbars, the javascript, the cookies and the messy desktop... If you happen to see me, beware, I'm evil.

EDIT : Oh, and BTW, I've added two icons to my desktop... :D

[hooloovoo24]

Ah yes, that was tragic. I remember now. I can't believe you haven't seen it yet!

Oh, and BTW, I've added two icons to my desktop...

Geeze, it keeps growing...

My old desktop (we've gotten rid of it now, or at least...we put it in storage...hopefully I'll get my parents to buy a new one...not a Dell) had a lot of icons on it. Not as many as you, but still, it was a lot. But the biggest thing was the start menu. It had so much crap in it, we had to switch to a bigger screen resolution to see all the columns of stuff. That was bad.

[Ultimater]

Oh, and BTW, I've added two icons to my desktop...

So have I, my coffee mug and oatmeal.

[Ben Rogers]

My desktop, as we speak is entirely bare. I have 13 (eek.) items in quicklaunch bar, which is at the top of my screen, and that's good enough. If I open the start bar more than twice a week for something, then I'll just throw it onto my quicklaunch. Once a week and I'll pin it to my start menu.

...I need a new desktop, too. If it matches with black and white, it's good. ;)

[Ben Rogers]

Ah, nevermind. Good ol' Bleach fansites. Zangetsu is the most awesome hallucination EVAR.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

what are the 4th&5th icons from the left on your quicklaunch bar?

[Ben Rogers]

None of your business, that's what. Better known as Azureus (http://azureus.sourceforge.net/), and Araneae (http://www.ornj.net/software/araneae/).

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

a nice blue frog it is ;)

[Ness_du_Frat]

Ah, nevermind. Good ol' Bleach fansites. Zangetsu is the most awesome hallucination EVAR.
OMG, your desktop is so.... empty !!!! lol !!! :D

[Ness_du_Frat]

Oh, and BTW, you all, I would have appreciated comments on my actual wallpaper, instead of comments on my iconophily. :)

[Ben Rogers]

We can't comment on what we can't see, Ness. *notes how he can actually find all his shortcuts*

[Ultimater]

Ness, the wallpaper looks like a work-of-art self-portrait. Is that you?

[Ben Rogers]

Edit: Oops.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

New one:

[Ness_du_Frat]

Ness, the wallpaper looks like a work-of-art self-portrait. Is that you?
No, it's not me, Ulti !!! I don't have cat eyes :)
This is Lyen, princess of Eaven, a character from my novel.
But I did draw it. (I'm improving, I guess...)

Ben Rogers, I designed this wallpaper especially for my messy desktop, so you can actually see the girl. The left part was left blank for all my icons :D

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

what do you think about the 'cowaramup forest' (western australia) picture aka my oh so empty desktop ?

;)

[Ben Rogers]

It's teh sex, Fuzz. If it wasn't for the duplicate Netscape icons, and the use of the default Winscheme, I might approve. :p

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

hehe thanks (i took the picture) ;)

You blind puppy! the first one is Netscape 7 and the other one is Netscape 8

[Ben Rogers]

Ahhhh. That's so reasonable! All makes sense now. Thanks fuzz.

[LiLcRaZyFuZzY]

well..i'd have to agree they both kinda look the same....

[Ness_du_Frat]

Very nice wallpaper, LCF, and very clean desktop too... ;)
(BTW, I changed my siggy...)
