Post your Desktop
 
I know we've done this before, but desktops, at least mine change from time to time, so please post your desktop!

Neo 02-07-2002 01:58 PM

Nice, isn't it?

Cyrax9 02-07-2002 10:12 PM

Good one Neo, although it does make it lok like you just got a New PC :D . Opps, I spoke the "forbidden" word in front of Gekko ;) .

GameMaster 02-08-2002 01:38 AM

Without further ado...:D

Gamemaster, your Mac Desktop is awesome! I like the entire design, I'm trying to convince my father to make our next family Computer a Mac, because I won't touch Windows XP with a 10 foot pole, I saw the box at "Staples", and I just muttered "who would carry this crap?" Case and point, Bill gates is the Devil. My uncle has a name for him that I liike, hecallsBill Gates "Demonspawn".

HEY! :mad:

I use Windows XP...it's not as good as Windows 98 but it's still pretty good...

I'm insulted...(but it did come with my PC, I didn't have much of a choice :D)

Perfect Stu 02-08-2002 01:53 PM

how do you make a picture out of your desktop btw?

sdtPikachu 02-08-2002 02:22 PM

Press the "Print SCreen" button. It shoudl be somwhere above your INsert key. Then just go to your graphics editor of choice and paste into a new image.

Here's a link to mine if you can't remember what it looked like:

here's my desktop:

Cyrax9 02-08-2002 08:59 PM

These are awesome guys, keep 'em coming! Also Stu, I know what you mean about WinXP, but my uncle has found a solution to the problem, when gets a PC with WinXP he wipes the HDD and buys a copy of Win98, then he lies about WinXP being defective, and just tells them to take it back, actually lying isn't nessecerley true, after all this is M$ we're talking about, and I've gotten more defective crap from them than anyone else.

The_Dunadan 02-09-2002 05:09 PM

gamemasters is pretty sweet, even though i don't like macs. here is mine, with winxp:) my pc, dell dimension 8200, is pretty new so i haven't got rid of some of those junk programs on my desktop yet. i keep my games and pics etc. in mikes stuff.

prepare yourself....

DarrenMcLeod 02-09-2002 05:36 PM

Meh
 
Here's my crappy little desktop I made a week ago. I change it all the time, so whatever. Made it in adobe photoshop from scratch.

Meh.

Cyrax9 02-09-2002 06:20 PM

These are Good :D :) :) ,keep 'em comin'. I'm currently making desktop logo's for my Alienware Computer in MS Paint (I know it sucks, but when you're just changing some colors it's easy). So far I've finished the color's "Nova Yellow", "Martian Red", "Conspiricy Blue", "Cyborg Green", and "Plasma Purple". They all say "Custom System" above the color name, and I've chosen the color schemes that look the most like the actual PC cases. They're all on black backgrounds, and the alien face and word "ALIENWARE" are all the color of they system, as well as the words "Custom System", and the name of the color. I haven't made Case Mods, but Desktops are a lot of fun.

Re: Post your Desktop
 
Cyrax: Ackkk! So cluttered! I could never live with that desktop. :beat:

Anyway, here's mine. Hopefully it worked right.

Gamemaster, two words: kick, ass. Can't wait to get a Mac by the end of the summer.

Pika, I would appreciate tips on how to get such a desktop. :D

manasecret 02-09-2002 11:56 PM

Hmm, didn't work. Trying again. Oh, I see why. I saved it as a TIFF. Time for some Jpg compression...

GameMaster 02-10-2002 01:11 AM

Cyrax: Thank you, I like yours also :)

Dunadan: I'm glad you at least like my desktop ;)

Manasecret: Very expressive :D

The following is a more simplistic background...

I like simplistic, though I change the middle picture all the time, usually with comedic stuff.

Not that I think yours is awful, but I would never keep mine as the what looks to be default XP wallpaper, or even use anything from XP's selection at all.

i know i know. i just can't seem to find anything on the interent worthy of such a fine desktop.

Cyrax9 02-12-2002 10:57 PM

These keep getting better, let's see more. As for my cluttered Desktop, I still have a bunch of crap that I need to get rid of, which Came with my Internet Stuff, I also made some shortcuts, because I'm too lazy to use the start menu. I still have some stuff to ditch, but I should have it cleaned up soon.

bobcat 02-12-2002 11:58 PM

Doh.

It's 275kb.

Max is 200kb ( I think)

How do i lower it??

I saved it as BMP, then converted to JPG.

Please help me out here.

Oooh Big Mac

:burger:

The_Dunadan 02-13-2002 05:13 PM

just paste it into paint and save it as a jpg first.

Considering you didn't like my first one, you probably won't like this one either. I decided to change it up a bit. :)

Here it is...

The_Dunadan 02-14-2002 04:43 PM

i think i like the first one better. btw, do you make those yourself?

Heh, I wish I did, because they're pretty badass.

The first one is a "Demotivator" from Despair.com. There are a bunch more there, and they're all really funny.

As for the newer one, I got it from the site that sdtPikachu posted his desktop from.

And I think I like the first one better, too, or at least I don't much like this one.

Before I say, what do you think of her? She's not my girlfriend, so don't worry about insulting me or something (that is, if you would worry about such a thing).

Is it you? :confused:

Yoda9864 02-18-2002 02:50 PM

Here is my non-internet desktop. The one I'm one right now has no games on it cuz it's my family's.

P.S.- The brightness of it may be a little whacked up.

Bube 02-18-2002 03:02 PM

Here's mine. I just love it.

I'm not sure what you mean thehtownpoption when you say "Does it look like what I write or something?". Also, I do't mean to be rude, but who ae the two girls in your new vatar, if you don't mind me asking.

My Avatar's pretty obvious for FF fans, it's Rinoa from FF8.

Yoda, I have a question for you. What type of system are you running that alowed "X-Com Apocalypse" to run? The reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to run it on a P4 with a GeForce3 video card, and it's not rnning correctly. I'm using the collector's edition, which has X-Com UFo Defense, TFTD, and Apocalypse for Win 95/98, and if that's what you're unning, I'd like to know if you had a similar problem, and how you fixed it, thanks.

Heh, it was just that I'm a guy and I was wondering if somehow what I write sounds like I'm a girl, because that would somehow be kinda weird.

The two girls are just more friends; actually the one on the left is and the other I don't know who she is. It just looked better if I included both girls. I'm still just trying the avatar thing out, though I pretty much got it (probably change it to something else again). I'm not sure, though, how to cut out stuff so that it stays cut out when I put it in the avatar.

What do you think of the girl on the left? Again, she's not my girlfriend so don't worry about yadda yadda...

Cyrax9 02-19-2002 10:22 PM

She looks nice, and she seems to have a nice smile, but I can't judge personality without talking to someone.

GameMaster 02-20-2002 01:01 AM

Who was the girl in your first avatar?

Funny, I really don't see what all the confusion is about my avatar. :) I guess it's not a whole lot of confusion, but I think three different people asked about it in three different threads, and then Cyrax asked something about it, too.

Anyway, the first girl is just a friend of mine. We dated once like three years back, but we're friends now. She was studying to be a model for awhile, and I think that was one of her test model pics or something. I don't think she still is modeling, though...

Revival 02-20-2002 05:59 PM

Ok.. who's in your avatar NOW?
