This is from my Dad's computer. I think his new monitor can go up to 1600x1200.

Once you go a couple steps higher, it's hard to go back... everything looks too big O_o.

its not really a matter of how big they look. (even tho every icon looks like a giant elephant on 800x600)
Its more about the wasted screen space. 10 icons take up half your screen. you cant fit as many windows. and dont even get me started on webpages. OMG, you fit like a fraction of the page on the screen at a time... read a sentance scroll. read a sentance scroll.

i cant imagine these forums on that resolution. one word takes up a full page.

Not to mention the higher res you go the more sharp and nice everything looks.

*switches to 800x600 just to take a look*

WTF, screens all white. nothings showing on it.... Oh!! damn, that was just my mouse curser takin up the whole screen.

:P

I don't like higher resolutions... stuff is too small...
I don't need billions of icons on my desktop...
Fitting more stuff in the browser at once doesn't make me look through it faster... And I have a nifty scroll thing in a convenient place on my keyboard anyways...

~fin~

actually icons suck on desk top. was just using it as an example from all thoes pictures.

i have 3 icons total on my desktop background. rest are in tool bars neatly on the side of the screen.

and i hear the 'stuff is too small' argument many many times. (mostly by old people and ppl that are newer to computers,) everyone of them would shoot themselves to go back to it after getting used to a higher one, (except for the older ones, they're too old to learn anything new)
its all good.

And see, vamp has just evolved. there will be no going back for him, and soon he will get annoyed whenever he has to use a computer with a low resolution.

I didn't know you liked Malice Mizer, too. +rep to good taste, not that you need it, though.

Here's mine.. and nice Mac setup, GM.

dwelzy · 09-14-2003, 08:47 PM

heres mine , and i always had 800x600 , always was kool so never changed it, u know the old "if it aint broke " thing

.....

edit: wasnt workin but hopefully it iz now

Mushlafa · 09-14-2003, 09:14 PM

I have it at 1024x768 i beleive.. i would go higher but my moniter is about 4 feet from where i sit, and its not that i wouldnt be able to read the writing it would just be a bit of an annoyance. If my moniter was closer to me id definately put my resolution to the next one up tho. I doubt some of my friends would even let me do that tho cuz most of them dont have as good vision as me and switch it to 800x600 when they come over anyway

uhm.. im lazy to make a pic of my desktop.. its ugly tho.. the default windows xp theme

You can use the image of my desktop and set it as your background if you want. I did that for my account on our PC and it looks pretty good.

Pretty simple but it works for now.

God I am so sick of this computer, next month cannot come soon enough.

Hmmm, I like what you did for your background... which inspires me.
