Re: post yer desktop
 

I was thinking the same thing.


Oh, and look, Null, I turned up my resolution. =-D

I evolved... I cant stand using the computers at school that are set to 800x600 now... It drives me crazy. I move the mouse and its like "damn, overshot the icon" move it again... "damn, over shot again". The cursor is so freaking HUGE on 800x600, and the screen so small, that you move the mouse a few centimeters, and your across the screen. I hate it, and everything looks blocky on 800x600.

I could turn it up more, but then it hurts my eyes.

I tried explaining to my dad the coolness of having our monitor turned up, but everytime he uses the PC he turns it back down. He says that he bought a bigger monitor so that things would be bigger...He doest realize that on a 800x600, then its the same as the old one, because it was on 800x600. I told him the only benefit of having a big monitor is so that you can turn up the resolution and fit more things on the screen. He just doesnt understand... :distress:

Re: post yer desktop
 

Well Gimp, at least you have an iTunes icon and something that kind of looks like a dock. :)

The top eMac is only $1,100

Re: post yer desktop

Re: post yer desktop

Re: post yer desktop
 

don't feel like changing my desktop yet, but i made myself a logon screen...

still gotta fix it up abit...like the buttons and stuff...

it matches my desktop quite well though if you ask me :)

Re: post yer desktop
 

that is the greatest logon ever starcraft rules

Re: post yer desktop
 

Good progress so far. I can tell you still got some work to do.

Re: post yer desktop
 

i know i do..i said it myself lol

Re: post yer desktop
 

Well, I try to make my gaming box look as much like a Mac as possible. You can get the Windows dock here: http://download.com.com/3000-2341-10222344.html

You can also set it up so the dock autohides (like on the Mac), or set it to the right side of your screen so it doesn't hide your taskbar.

Re: post yer desktop
 

Here is my latest desktop pic. I like this background. Strange yet very nice.

Re: post yer desktop
 

Blue is so sexy...

Re: post yer desktop
 

Ho hum, Messy desktop, due for a reinstall soon anyway.

Re: post yer desktop
 

Here's mine for November 2003:

Re: post yer desktop
 

*shudders*

ok cyrax, i'd have a non stop hatred for MS too if i had that desktop.


:p


mine (windows)...... (i'll try and post my linux up later)

Re: post yer desktop
 

that desktops lookin great

Re: post yer desktop
 

Nice.

But I dont see what it is with you people and docking your icons on the side of the screen. I personally think its ugly. What is the purpose of doing that?

Re: post yer desktop
 

I've always done that. Its because...

1. it keeps them all out of the way and in order.
2. i have so many that there are actually drop boxes on that side bar and list a whole bunch more in each catagory... kinda like the start menu.
3. that bar is always ontop. like the task bar. so programs dont cover it up. and when i have programs open. i can get to any of thoes programs to open them easily and quickly without minimizing anything on my desktop.

and 4... When you have as high of resolution as i use... that bar takes up like nothing on the scren

Re: post yer desktop
 

Ah. I see.

Re: post yer desktop
 

The docking is neat and tidy.

I can't see how people can stand just having a bunch of shortcuts littering their entire desktop. THAT is ugly.

Re: post yer desktop
 

Oh no, young grasshopper.

It is only ugly when their is not creative organization applied. My desktop has plenty of short cuts, 20 to be exact, but they are organized in a artful way that I find much prettier than a dock.

Re: post yer desktop
 

yeh...or like my desktop :p



docks aren't comfortable IMO...

Re: post yer desktop
 

Here's my new one, I think its a purty shot...

Re: post yer desktop
 

mmm... fun ride, Jason.

Re: post yer desktop
 

I assume youve been on it?

Re: post yer desktop
 

I have. I went there a couple years ago back in the 8th grade. Great ride.

Re: post yer desktop
 

i dock mine because i like to have only whats necessary on the screen...especially with my matrix layout, less is more :)

Re: post yer desktop
 

I find that if I have too many shortcuts on my desktop, it's sometimes hard to find hte program you want to run, thus defeating the purpose of the "shortcut". That's why I limit myself to:

My Computer
My Network Places
Internet Explorer
My Documents
Hotmail link
a folder with all my programs in it
a folder with all my games in it
Recycle bin
and a shortcut to my dial-up

Re: post yer desktop
 

Here's my new one.

Re: post yer desktop
 

niiiiiice very nice and really tidy as well

Re: post yer desktop
 

That is very nice indeed.

I have a new desktop background now, and a slightly different organization applied to my icons. I will be watching the last two episodes of "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" ever created tomorrow. Its the series finale. When Buffy ends, so does a certain part of my life. Thus ends a great and glrorious saga. And I honor it:

Re: post yer desktop
 

lol...just a question, is that alyson hannigan in u'r avatar as well?


*also: desktop pic of her looks great

Re: post yer desktop
 

Yes, indeed it is. =-D

And remember my original avatar? The one with the redhead wearing the black bra? That too is Alyson Hannigan.

And thank you for the compliment of my desktop.

Re: post yer desktop
 

Here is my new one, I've been having fun with photoshop. And the calc program is a calculus helper thing my dad bought me cause I'm not doin all that well in my ap calculus class :(

Re: post yer desktop
 

Cool desktop, but what is thing on the right side of the screen? and what does it do? Ive seen a few other people with it, and I'd just like to know what it is.

Re: post yer desktop
 

That thing on the right side of Blade Runner's screen is "Trillian." It's an instant-messaging program that's compatible with all the other (or damn near) instant-messaging programs, so like instead of having AIM, ICQ, MSN, ect, you just use Trillian and it sort of replaces all of them in one program.

You might not get some of the little extra perks that the individual programs have, but that way you don't need to load 5 different things to talk to people over the internet. Much more orderly and convenient.

And here's my new blue desktop:

Re: post yer desktop
 

I like that trillian skin. I used it for quite a while.

Re: post yer desktop
 

Cool. Thanks for the info. I may consider downloading it. Ooh, and that desktop is just hot.
