Desktop.. Everyone has one of these!

[Deever 23]

I don't have a Christmas desktop but I did make one for the new year. . . Well. . . Ok, so it's not quite what most people would be thinking. . .

ALBANY

This is a dual-screen display.  To do this, I took a very large image (over 3500 pixels wide), and used the Tile setting to get it to span both monitors so I don't have the same image on both.  Then I moved around the screens virtually in Display Settings until they were lined up pretty well.

Vista HP.  :-D

Full size (3120x1050):

EDIT: Apparently, this didn't work; it's not full size.  I might have saved the smaller version over the full size.  I'm not sure.

If anyone is interested in this picture, I can send it to you; there's a lot more than what is shown.  I couldn't get everything to fit proportionally on my desktop.

My new desktop:

It's a picture of a mars sunset(or raise, I'm not sure)

[FFVImaster 0]

It's a sunset. I've had this picture on my HD for a long time, it's one of my favorite Mars pictures :-)

I just updated it, I thought the austerity of the shot was just awesome.

Since I am, for the next couple of weeks, spending weekday nights at my grandparents' place due to dorm space not being available for the winter intersession, I decided I should probably have something a little less conspicuous as my desktop (this is what it was previously). As such:

Mine. If you're wondering, the taskbar pops out from the top (auto-hide).

My current Desktop... cluttered up as usual. The image is 2 bits of Stalker concept art (not done by me obviously) I stitched together since the original image was too small to be desktop material.

I got a new computer. and here is the desktop:

[Godzillaman 21]

Mine pwns all! Too large to post on its own...

It also proves how ghetto my computer is...

[Duke87 1,070]

^^^that is an awesome picture. But I'm going to venture a guess you saved the screenshot as a jpeg in MS Paint, right? Because that's a no-no. Notice how dithered the icons and task bar are.

El Burro, that looks like a scene from The Chronicles of Riddick.

[Bookworm 1]

Here's mine:

Clickie, it's big!

To the goober who asks "Do you have enough icons on there?" the answer is no, no, I don't. Gosh, everyone thinks they're the first to say that.

[Duke87 1,070]

I don't mind lots of icons, what bothers me is that they're strewn about in a disorganized manner, and that some of them are just files. I hate it when people save files right to the desktop. Files go in appropriate folders. The desktop is for shortcuts to programs and whatnot only.

Can you tell I have OCD?

[smstevenms 7]

Here is current, as I clean and reinstall many things....So Duke what trying to say is, you hate clutter!

About time I showed one of mine

How many processes do you have running? edit: I don't have my own computer right now, so I can't post a pic.

[doorknob60 11]

Here's my Ubuntu desktop! Note the awesome dock I added since my last post

EDIT: I got bored of that theme so I changed it

[smstevenms 7]

El Burro, cool wallpaper, but way to busy of a desktop, yikes!

In MS Paint, I save them in png format. If the png is too big to host on imageshack, I convert it to jpeg using GIMP- taking care to save it at 100% quality. MS Paint automatically saves it as 85% quality, and doesn't give you the option of making that higher (or lower)- hence why saving things as jpeg with MS Paint is a no-no.

Okay, you have GIMP on your computer and yet you still posted a dithered image. What's your excuse?

77, its only 5% of the CPU, I can't be bothered to turn them all off

Acctually,  if I crash my Explorer exe. it turns them all off for me...

Wow, didn't think it really mattered to people that much what our images looked like in the off-topic section.  So yeah I saved it at 100% quality in GIMP.

Happy now?
