Post your deskops up!!!

Ok, an old hat idea, but the old thread was too rancid to use again, and I felt like reviving it still. So fresh and new - here we go.

My laptop background (and as this will give away when combined with my sig, I like my Firefly gals :D):

Chaz - I don't know whether to be epically laughing or epically hating you :D Inspired by Pete's works i'm guessing. At Phant, your right, but Kaley Cuoco is a close second, and Jewel Staite is a closer third.

Here's my desktop wallpaper, and this is the obvious selection:

I know it's just a screenshot from a game, but the imagery in it is just so awesome to pass up. Stars on one side, blackness on the other. And Illusive "Martin Sheen" Man is awesome.

Nice. Any more info on the Vista theme? (I think there's a theme there)



My current;


http://i30.tinypic.com/331hyev.jpg


Yes I am that tidy haha. (Although I do have a dock on auto-hide per screen)




Debating the move to OSX on a separate hard drive, mainly to get a feel for kexts and the way the OS works. Would need to buy a new HDD though =/.

[Colonel Mitch]

Vox i am on vista.....

i tried 7 again a few weeks ago and whenever it tried to play flash or a hd video it locked up the whole pc and crashed without error.... i onyl noticed AFTER abotu 10 hours of looking at hacks n tweaks. i got the sidebar on 7, downgraded to WMP11 and managed to make the taskbar a bit less gay...

Also i re formatted to 7 to check i hadnt broken it and jsut isntalled drivers and nothign esle and it still happened.

So yeah.... vista...

Also nice background vox, tho with a space inbetween screens i wudnt have thoguht it looked so nice =/

[VoX]

I know you're on Vista, as am I for the same reasons as you haha (Taskbar issues that is). I meant it looks like your taskbars "fall off" at the ends and the windows open in the taskbar look slightly different, so wondered if it's a theme.


Thanks, and yeah it does look a bit off but its not to bad, unfortunately the main building with angles sits right in the center so you can notice it, if the image was shifted left a bit more then it would be on straight lines and perfect haha. Will take a pic tomorrow. Although I seem to sort of "phase out" the bezels and forget they're even there.

[Colonel Mitch]

the theme im on is one the the included themes with vista eternity edition (a custom distro based on ultimate)

[VoX]

Ahh, fair enough.

[Vicious Horizon]

7 Works fine for me, you guys just can't use it right.

@VoX: Do you have all the taskbar windows in the middle of your taskbar? If so, can I ask how you did that? My method of making folders to push them into the middle seems to be a little buggy.

[VoX]

More like we can actually use Vista and 7 is a worthless upgrade not worth the hassle? Seriously £50 or so (student discount) and a lot of hassle for a taskbar that would just be set back to how it essentially is now and a folder and menu system that annoys me? No thanks. And before you say try it I have, I have a dual boot of Windows Server 2008 R2 (the server edition of Win7) converted to be a workstation and it just doesn't feel right. Plus I put Win7 on the hexcore build and, yes it was better than the Workstation version, but it still wasn't "home" for me. Only thing that I might get Win7 for is if I get an SSD that supports TRIM or if I end up wanting to run an ATI and an nvidia card at the same time (unlikely).



I don't it's called dual monitors :p. Thats the system tray which is the bottom right of the first screen, so in the middle of the overall screenage. Not sure if there is a way though, google might help. A dock with windows set to minimize to that would probably do it, but the start menu docklets don't tend to work on x64 windows.

[Vicious Horizon]

I already have all my menu stuff in the middle, it's just that it occasionally thinks "It's been set to be invisible, so he doesn't actually need it" and turns it off, leaving it all to go back to default.

VH - How do you get the taskbar icons centered btw?

Looks like you got the theme working, might try one out myself. Was it hard in the end?

[VoX]

Yeap, thats the file Cal :)


Theme wasn't that hard, found a few utilities that made things a lot easier, replacing explorer.exe for the start button had to be done by hand though, but that was quite easy. Still a few things are a bit off, but a lot better than standard Win7 imo.

If you want I can do it all at i40 for you?

Another update, another desktop featuring Queen Awesomeness, although this time I've switched everything to the right side. You may be able to see the next couple desktops on the right as well, including a nice little Kaley Cuoco one.

Little bored on a dull Saturday? Well, I have good news for you - I decided to send my Glau wallpaper to my laptop, so that brings up the Kaley Cuoco one hidden on the last one to the big leagues. Your welcome.

Don't understand how you can live with a full white BG, doesn't that just kill your eyes?

[Chazlene]

Don't understand how you can live with a full white BG, doesn't that just kill your eyes?

And it's bad for the enviroment! White pixels use more energy than black pixels, so why don't you go and napalm some pandas while you're at it you MURDERER.

[Isphera]

By that logic, I should also be charged with aiding and abeting infanticide everytime someone faps to these desktops.

Because I'm never looking at the white pixels :D

[Isphera]

Lies.

[Darkeagle]

she isnt, she looks like she's a eight downy or somin

[nikoli]

i agree with the mediocre looks

[VoX]

She also looks cross-eyed and as if a noob has been let loose with the liquify filter.

[nikoli]

actually looking closer the body is hom nom its just the face and blondeness

Can you decipher this comment for me - I can't intellige the English at all. I also believe that these comments will spark a half-yearly DWPS rather than yearly. Yes, you read that right, the DWPS returns in January 2011!

[Vicious Horizon]

Oh sigh.

[Isphera]

Oh yes.

And can you decipher what DE said, since you all seem to speak the same language :D

[Calneon]

He means he'd give her an eight or less on a one to ten scale.

[Vicious Horizon]

Oh, I assumed he was making a down's syndrome joke =/

That's what I thought. But since it's a rating thing, and we are on the subject, KC is a 9.4 for me, SG is a 9.5.
