[Jonbo298]

This is the one I had been using for awhile.

[Jonbo298]

Sorry for the double post.
This is my new current one. Thanks to WWE:D

[Blade Runner]

Been using this one for a long while....

http://www.liquid2k.com/sigma/island.jpg

(the real pic is much more clearer)

[-apu-]

Thats uh.....alot of nothing on the desktop.....

[Blade Runner]

Yeh, its very nice. I configured the start menu with some of my most used progs and folders. Even setup a folder on the start menu. Here, I'll post a pic....

EDIT: Sorry, wrong pic:-o

Anyways, I do that so I can open things faster and not have to minimize all those windows. Took a while to get used to but I like it now.

[DarkMaster]

so you're talking to crono too eh?

[-apu-]

huh?:confused:

[Blade Runner]

I just realized I posted the wrong pic:unsure: Here is the one of my start menu....

http://www.liquid2k.com/sigma/desktop.jpg

[gekko]

Dis is way too many Windows users.

[-apu-]

lol....What can you say, most people today have windows, because most people today aren't computer wizzes and don't know the advantages of other OSs, but than again I know linux is more stable, but just to damn lazy to get it....and i need it with my crappy equipment:D(built in sound card, video card, and i think processor:/)

[GameMaster]

Have no fear gekko, a Mac desktop is here! :D

[Blade Runner]

I'll be getting linux when I get a job and build a pc wich should be by the end of the year. Dunno about macs, I don't see whats so good about them other than ppl saying its not windows:unsure: I might buy one in the future just to see what the big deal is about.

I just switched my desktop pic for the first time in a month. I've used it before but I still like it...

http://www.liquid2k.com/sigma/desk.jpg

No one has said anything about the spongebob icon on my start menu:p

[GameMaster]

A Peacful Desktop. Much more relaxed than that Mario Sunshine one. :)

So, uhh, how do you like my desktop? :sneaky:

[PureEvil]

http://rwkkwr.hypermart.net/desktop.jpg

[Xantar]

One of the best perks I got from writing fan fiction was cover art by N8. I liked the Perfect Dark one so much I use it as my desktop picture. As you can see, I'm kind of a minimalist guy myself.

If you look closely, you can also find the only digital picture of me in existence. Well, sort of.

[GameMaster]

Xantar, you picture came as sort of a surprise. I wasn't expecting such a conservative appearance. I thought you'd have semi-long hair. :unsure: Nice desktop. :)

[Xantar]

Semi-long hair? Whatever gave you that impression? Do I come off as a hippy or something?

And yes, you knew that I wouldn't miss an opportunity to plug my fanfics. :D

[sdtPikachu]

You're using IE, Xantar.

: fume :

[Xantar]

Actually, that's because I never bothered to delete the Internet Explorer icon from my desktop. I use Netscape 7 which is conveniently kept in the Apple menu in the upper left.

I could probably use Opera, but I don't really feel like paying for a web browser.

[GameMaster]

Xantar, of all people I'm surprised to be hearing you stereotyping. Not all hippies have long hair. And no, I don't think you're a hippy. I guess I'm guilty of steroetyping also, when I assumed someone who's just not "another face in the crowd" should have something out of the ordinary for hair. I guess we both learned a lesson.

[quiet mike]

Maybe some of you might want to check this. http://www.vital-desktop.com/

You need a fairly good computer so it won't slow down too much if you have many aplications runing and the animation of your desktop.
It's a program that makes your favorite (any) screen saver run as your desktop all the time. You can disable the normal screen saver and run it as your desktop trough this program. It's amaizing and so relaxing to have the Plus! fish tank screen saver running in the backround on what I work. It's like I have a transparent plasma monitor, and a fish tank behind it. Just beautifull.

Here it is again. http://www.vital-desktop.com/

[GameMaster]

Those screensavers are awesome!!! *Dashes to the new PC*

[Xantar]

I wasn't stereotyping. I just couldn't think of any reason for you to expect me to have long hair except that you thought I was some kind of really liberal type like a "hippie or something."

But now my computer has had some kind of crash where it can't find the boot hard drive. I won't be able to use it again until I find a copy of a Mac OS CD and try to fix it. No more staring at Hikaru Shinsuke while I work. :(

[GameMaster]

Is it in your funds to consider a new Mac perhaps?

P.S. Is Hikaru Shinsuke the white face on your desktop?

[Xantar]

Not at this very moment, no. But if I manage to get a job this summer, I should be able to save up a few hundred dollars. A G3 on eBay goes for about $300. That's what I have my eyes set on. And then I think I'll get myself a copy of OS X.

And yes, that's Hikaru on my desktop. If you read my fanfics, you'll get to meet her and learn why she has a gunshot wound on her head. :D

[Perfect Stu]

here's me current desktop

[Lord Germano]

Id post my desktop, but its just the flux screen saver from vital desktop (Very nice find Quite Mike)

I also have no icons on my desktop, so theres nothing to see exept all those perty colors.

[Null]

My new desktop. with a screenshot from my newest game. :)


damn that looks pretty. :)

[GameMaster]

What game?

[GameMaster]

Here's my new Netscape theme. It's called Toy Factory, pretty cool huh? :D

Yeah, well, it's my substitute for a start bar so...

[sdtPikachu]

/me wonders if I should unleash my OSX-styleee Linux desktop on you.

But then, it's not changed since the last time, so you wouldn't care that much. Part from the funkadelic menu button, which now rocks and is bloo.

Nice desktop

[Dyne]

Sorry to uh... bump a dead topic... but... yeah. Enjoy.

btw ignore that old trillian I'm using. Ew. I installed Trillian Pro like 2 days after with a custom gamecube style. :D

[GameMaster]

Where'd you get the Gamecube theme? That's cool! :D

[Dyne]

Originally posted by GameMaster

It's imported from Europe.;)

Actually that's only half the awesomeness. There's sweet sounds and animations with it. ;)

Plus, there's themes for every first-party game! It's an endless loop of joy! :D

[DarkMaster]

damn you and your hella sweet desktop

[Dyne]

Hehe, I thought I'd make you squeam a little more. ;)

[GameMaster]

Ok, that's it.

*snaps his fingers*

Ron, Squiggy, strap him down.

*shines a bright light on him*

We have ways of making you give URLs...

You either give them to us or face the alternative...

[Dyne]

Those are my mad photoshopping skills! I swear!

:sneaky:

Uh...

:sneaky:

Sorry, I actually went through hell to get them.

But if you have something in it for me I'm sure I can cook up some details or urls. ;)

[GameMaster]

*snaps fingers*

Boys, get out the feather...

[Dyne]

Seriously man. This isn't freeware. I don't even know how to pirate it..

[GameMaster]

Are you saying you purchased it?

[Null]

actually it is freeware.

1. its just a background pic.

2. themes to change the look of WinXP are free, and easy to find, dont even need software.

there are some that charge money, aka. WindowsBlinds but thoes arent exactly needed just to put a skin on XP.


this theme i found after searching once. i could find others that are free that totally overhall windows and make it seem totally differnt.


they're free, and ones like windowsblinds use extra cpu to run them. (not a lot, but still)

[Dyne]

Bah! HELL if it is free. I imported a European game because my friend said you get a free windows theme. There's no effing chance it's freeware.

Oh yeah, it's not just a background pic. It's a whole package. You didn't notice it changes EVERYTHING, including default folder's icons? This is a polished theme; Nintendo of Europe payed this company a lot to get Gamecubes to sell. It's got everything: A logon screen, cursors, Mario's YIPS of joy, and even extras, like the ability to minimize to the top. This is not f***ing free.

BTW, could you please snag me a link to that xbox theme? ;)

[Null]

actually yes it is free. you can go out and find everything you changed for free, only diff being you got it all in 1 package. (i was refering to the background as just being a background pic) one can obviously find that.

the windows skin, thoes are free, i found an xbox one easy as can be.

icon changers, also easy to find, i have many, but i dont like game themed ones.

logon screen. yes also free, but thoes arent the best things to mess with, you can actually screw up your system to the point where it doesnt boot by messing with that logon screen. but yea. you can find em.

you can also change the whole gui.

and btw, for the stuff i mentioned, you need no program to run any of it.

www.themexp.com has some. but its a slow site. annoying to work with.

or www.wincustomize.com

there are others. skinz.org. etc.

[Dyne]

Meh.

[GameMaster]

I'll tell you how you pirate it. Place it in your file sharig folder most commonly titled, "Shared." Then people will be able to download it.

[jeepnut]

Btw, it's www.themexp.org . Not .com.

[GameMaster]

Wow, that site sure has some innappropiate themes :eek:

[Doctor Zhivago]

........................................

[GameMaster]

Mushlafa will like this

Like my "Other" folder's icon? :D

im sorking on my own XP theme...this is what i got so far for my desktop, but it aint done yet.

Either way, You've got to love this wallpaper. I made it myself (took quite awhile to ...... borrow all the images from amazon.com, then turn them all into .bmp then put them together in paint, then make a jpg.) I'm quite proud of it.

I hope there's at least one classic rock fan on these boards that can appreciate it.

pika should like this one. :p

[GameMaster]

Why are Linux users so bitter? ;)

[Null]

ahhh. tis a screen for the blind.


damn thoes icons are big. lol

[GameMaster]

I'm not blind, I just like big icons. :)

That, and I like being able to exercise my freedom of choice to have icons any size I want. Something not present on a significant other OS...

[Null]

which OS on that?

linux can. easy as pie.


Windows can. little tricky, but it can be done.


but majority of users dont want icons big like that. lol. tis for thoes old ladies who have the 1 inch thick glasses. lol ;)

[GameMaster]

Null, Null, Null...

Trapped in a world where freedom is not allowed and creativity is forbidden, poor guy.

I'm not an old lady (although at one time I may have said that here) and I'm not blind. I don't wear glasses or contacts. Good day sir. :mad:

[Null]

lol since you need such big things to read.......

i think your slightly not knowing what im running on my sys man. I have more freedom than you. ;)

theres a reason tho why companies dont advertise.. "big giant ass icons" when they talk about thier OS tho. :)

basically because everything in linux is Open Source. ;P



And gekko, you have the blue version of that background wif the shrooms? me likes the blue one. i loves transparent windows too. hehehe

[gekko]

Yes, I have all the digital blasphemy images. I was just messing with my desktop once, and decided to put this one on instead of searching for the blue again.

Oh ya, this was the holiday version of the drawing. That's why I left it up. Only a month late :)

[Cyrax9]

Windoze... Yeah I'm still running my Good Ol' Win98 GUI on my Gateway 2000, my Alienware is in the shop (again) for a new PSW now (Whena re theyg onna fix this POS?), so I can't print my lame Desktop.

HOWEVER...

Once I aqquire enough revanue to finihs, I will BUILD a PC, I have a Non-Refundable copy of WIndows ME, which should be userful while learning Linux, which will be Dual-Booted with Eatheir Redhat Linux 8, or SuSE, I'm leaning more tworads RedHat though, and I'm going t pay the $70.00 at my local "Staples' for a Manual made out of this wonderful inventiona called "paper" that I can use if anything should go wrong, unlike Windoze which needs a 24/7 automated tech Support line and a 26 Volume "Manual" for each version of 'doze to be understood.

I love Linux, I can't afford a Mac, but I can make a WIntel PC into a LIntel PC very easily, without too much of a headache and unlike WIndoze Linux won't crash.

I wish I could get a Mac and run Linux on it, that'd bea dream come true.

*Muttters "Damn Gekko and his damn Linux Mac, and his Damn Plasma Screen and Import Cube!...Probably the low-end model!"*

Yes gekko, I'm jealous, I admitit, you beat me to Linux and Mac you lousy SOB, I think once I'm through with Windoze I'll used the CD as a frisbee ;)

[gekko]

You can run Linux on a PowerPC. But since Mac OS X is a unix OS, I just use that.

SuSE 8.1 !!!!! SuSE!!!!!!


hmmm, well, i love my SuSE, hehe, i love its little green lizard logo. :D

only other linux i've tried is Mandrake years ago. so i cant really compare to other linux distros. but i do recommend SuSE ;P

[Blade Runner]

Here is mine. I think i might change it to something a little less dreary.

Oh yeh, thats windows longhorn (http://www.msbetas.com/longhorn/default.asp) on my desktop, i haven't extracted yet. I'm gonna create a virtual partition using norton ghost first then install it on that. Looks nice methinks, except for the revamped-looking taskbar. Kind of tacky methinks.

I've heard good thing about RedHat and SuSE both, which is why I'm consdierng both Distyro's and not Just RedHat. Although I've Heard RedHat is better for begginers with Linux, so I'm looking more towards Redhat, and I even have a comparison chart stashed away soomewhere.

I'll cook up a Desktop theme once my comp is back, not just a background, but a full theme, coimplete with Sounds and Fonts to match, I can't say what it is yet, but you'll be suirpised most likley I have a few ideas brewing.

i cant stay for redhat. but from experience installing SuSE....


you want your Windows to be installed first........ i did SuSE first once. and had to play around with mounting the drives on it for a long time to get to the windows stuff.

later on i installed after windows and found SuSE auto setup all the windows drives for me. saves a LOT of head aches. and i can hop right into my windows files and use what i need right off the bat from Linux.


also be careful with the boot program. i've screwed up both OS's before and had to reinstall both. I prefer to make sure i have a boot disk for both just incase something goes wrong.

Amongst various improvements to Nautilus and Metacity and new GTK extensions, it also supports transparent panels (http://vhost.dulug.duke.edu/~louie/screenshots/2.2/10.jpg) and scalable vector graphics (http://vhost.dulug.duke.edu/~louie/screenshots/2.2/18.jpg) realy quite nicely.

ahhh!!! i couldnt get gnome 2.0 working before....

so i went out and bought SuSE 8.1 cuz it came with it.


now 2.2 comes out... I WANT!!!! *starts downloading*


i know much more then i did before 8.1, i think i can handle installing it this time. :D

[sdtPikachu]

Have a happy 4 hour compiling session! ;)

[GameMaster]

Scanned this from the booklet that came with the bonus discs.

what res that bg at?


how bout attaching the bg as a file on here? :p

[GameMaster]

File size was too big. It's on my personal web space though.

http://home.attbi.com/~synthoid/index/zelda.jpg

Let me know if you need it in 800 x 600 and I'll put that up too.

[Null]

its resolution is still a bit small. but i dont want it for the BG, want it to create a background using it. so it should work good in that size.

thanks
