Desktops, because I'm bored.

I'm posting my desktop because I just recently got a second monitor and a spare Voodoo 3 PCI.

I now have the room to do more of what I'm usually doing, I can even play Empire Earth or any PC game and keep AIM maximized at the same time :)

My new and improved desktop!


You might note that the resolution on Monitor 1 is greater than that of Monitor 2 (GeForce3 vs. Voodoo 3, do the math). The image has been resized greatly, my real total screen dimension is roughly 2800 x 1200.

Feel free to post yours.

Here's my current:

Heh

uh, sorry to sound silly, but how DO you take pics of your desktop?

Just hit PrintScreen and then open up your basic paint program and paste it.

OS X...gotta love it

Not exactly my desktop, but I did make this Wallpaper cause there wasnt a good System of a Down screen out there really.

Certianly.

free for all - though this is also available at Winamp.com somewhere. Wild Blue Younder is the name.

Here's my custom-made desktop:
http://lunarworks.ca/desktop.jpg

I've got a 20GB and a 40GB partitioned into 2 10s, and 2 20s.

It's good for organizing stuff.

Before I made the switch, I was a bit worried about how long it would take me to get accustomed to OSX, and how I would get along with some of the old standbys that I had in OS9.

But, now that I'm running OSX, I feel like I've been here all my life. I switch back to OS9, and it feels odd and foreign already. All the fears I previous had about OSX are now pretty much gone. Hell, I'm even liking the Dock now. (Though more apps need to take advantage of the ability to have dynamically changing Dock icons.)

Last One - I swear.

Warning LARGE!

Yeah - I know it pretty much imitation OSX (nothing like the real thing I'm sure) but it looks nice and I've got it in perfectly stable condition. That counts for something right?

Once again - part of the screen is off-set because, well, that side is as big as I can get it on a Voodoo 3. It looks fine to me - but in screens it looks wonky.

I should do that too. Not really for organizing, just for the practice :p

Yeah i went through the same thing. But now i noticed how much detail apple went into planning the switchover. Now when i switch back to OS9 it just seems so ugly.

Well this mine I think i need to change the background to something new, eventhough i still like rahxephon.. I think i need new background, new trillian skin, and new winamp skin...

my desktop has pretty much nothing on it.

My brother installed some stupid program for rotating the desktop wallpaper on your PC. Well, I thought it was stupid at first, but now I guess it's okay, since I just put in all the backgrounds I want and deleted the ones he had :)

How can you LIVE with your desktop so cluttered with stuff? Wow. That would drive me absolutely insane. My mother has about half the stuff on her desktop that you do, and even that bugs the hell out of me.

That's why I have my desktop icons set to be so big - that way, only a few things can be lazily put there before it gets annoying and I have to clean it up. ^_^

That's one of the nice things about OSX, too - you can set it so that NOTHING shows up on the desktop. I have it so that drives, network connections, and CDs/DVDs aren't shown on the desktop, and my trash sits in the dock instead of being there. Nice and clean.

You mean like this?

Windows Xp does that too.

Win 98, ME and 2K do that as well - It's a nice thing, but not a new or exclusive thing.

To wit - I sometimes like Icons - but they have to be Big and few.

Where did I say it was a new thing? I just said that it was nice that OSX did that, because OS9 didn't, and my experience is with MacOS, not Windows.

The question I have about doing it under Windows, though, is how do you then access your drives and trash? Under OSX, the trash is in the Dock, and the Dock Finder icon, when clicked, brings up your Finder navidation window listing all of your currently accessable drives and external media.

Changed my background. I didn't resize the picture this time though.

:eek: Salma is so sexy...

Here's my current one - 051102.
Before that it was a picture of 3s repeating taken from a sound spectrum of Plaid's tune 3reccuring (go here to see what I'm talking about... I also made a desktop bg of the 'Aphex face' quite a while ago); and before that it was a b&w picture of Karl Hyde's face.

Here's my favorite Winamp skin (I left it out of the screenshot so the whole background could be seen) - Steel This Amp:

It can go something like This.

ºTracer

Okay, I had to do a new one, because it shows the one thing I thought I would never, EVER see on a Mac:

http://homepage.mac.com/shidoshi/screen2.jpg

...a command line! Windows works to get away from the command line, MacOS suddenly gains one. *heh*

I can't really imagine NOT having a command prompt... I have to admit - OSX is quite a powerfull (and nice looking) piece of work. Before it though - I was not fond of Mac OS.

My desktop (sized down from 1024x768 to 512x384)

No icons or other stuff are on my Win98 desktop. In the right corner is Route 1 Pro- if you hate the start menu, this may be useful to you. It's available at annoyances.org (see "Reducing Clutter"/"What To Do If You Hate The Start Menu").

38 Episodes so far. I'll get 'em all soon enough. I've only watched the first 3 spisodes so far, I'm missing 4-10 and I don't want to skip 'em all.

I've got too much shit to watch,
-Gigas

I have the first ten episodes of Roswell season 3, and I want to try to get the rest of them today before the series finale.

Oh, and if anyone has Angel 3x20 or 3x21 I'd love it if you'd let me leech them.

This one's mine, fewer icons on the screen than usual.

Whoah, thread revival.

Here's my desktop during the height of my obsession.

I'll get a new one soon.

omg. regus, where'd you get that background?! Please share! is that a win amp skin? where'd you get all of the gta tracks! (i have rise fm megamix and the gta theme). BTW, you are a grand theft addict.

Yeah, even though I'm using the most conservative and standard Linux windowing environment, I'll pipe in and say desktop threads are always the most interesting on Unix message boards. With all those Window managers and the ability to tweak pretty much everything, people always come up with some interesting stuff.

Huh!



Wanted to do a little something different with this desktop :sneak:

Mine. :)

Here's my Windows XP desktop (1024x768): http://www.sitemouse.com/users/kntain/Desktop.jpg

I have my PC set to dual-boot between XP and '98, but my 98 desktop is pretty much the same, just a bit less organized.

The Winamp skin is a Fallout theme.

Yes, that's the rather nice PC port of VOOM running.

Finally, my desktop background is a picture of the Waterfront, taken from the "Field Viewer" in VOOT's debug mode, run through Photoshop. If you want it, here it is: http://www.sitemouse.com/users/kntai...Waterfront.jpg

Actually, the original image was a blurred-up 640x480 pic. That's all the DC can display, really.

I have been working on a new one:
