I am, of course, Duke87.  'Jaina' and 'Leia' are my sisters. 'JVCBD' is my dad. 'Mommy' is my mom. Yes, that is Kim Possible in my XP avatar, and yes that is yoda as 'Jaina's' avatar. She's a real Star Wars Freak.

NICE desktop, Duke!  Best one yet!
 
I'm afraid to ask what your actual wallpaper is, but I'm betting it's similar to that admittedly funny pic you posted on the POST YOUR PICTURE HERE! thread.  21.gif

Besides wincustomize.com & themexp.org, can anyone else recommend other sites that allow you to alter your XP desktop? Thanks. It seems a lot of people here have really cool desktops. I can make a small contribution, visit: www.chickenhead.com, they have some cool desktop wallpapers.

Please, nobody pelt me with stones or rotten tomatoes, but what program did you people use to capture your desktops? I used to have a program that did something like that, but I can't remember the name. I appreciate any help.

Thank you,

Just hit the Print Screen and paste (Edit > Paste or Ctrl V) into a document in a graphics program, like regular Paint or good ol' Photoshop.

Well here is my desktop, and i looked really hard, but i found it at last 2.gif
 
/idealbb/files/Min-desktop.jpg
 
And i suppoce ppl are gonna wonder what iim using, simple, Its Aston Shell, wich replaces the Explorer one from microsoft, and frees up a helluva lot of RAM, ideal for SC4 :P
 
Oh, and i popped out the menu at top just to show, it goes in, and is as invisible as the one on the left side, the buttons on top are alsu menus, tho im still trying to figer them out :P
 
Cheers
 
EDIT:
clindhartsen: Where Did you get that las bacground from, i think it looks amazing, the one with a anime girl on 2.gif' would be thankful to know 2.gif'
END OF EDIT:

You actually paid money for a freakin desktop image? I think you just wasted 9 bucks, dude. It isn't worth that.

Duke, when you showed your startup screen, at the bottom it says Turn off lightening. How the heck did you get that? 36.gif
 
Here's my current desktop:

Turn off lightening. Lightening is the name of Duke's PC. My PC is called Stumpy.
 
If you are an admin, right click my PC on dekstop, hit properties and click the computer name tab.

So that's why it says that.... This computer is an insurance replacememnt for one that got zapped by a power surge (we had a surge protector, but not on the cable internet wires2.gif (we do now). It came saying that. The insurance company probably did it.....

Well, here is my newest desktop

desktop4-19.jpg

AHH!!! nVidia took over my computer..........jsut kidding

And Duke - Toon XP includes three Desktop Pics, A Complete Icon Set (for everything), Dekstop X theme, Object Bar theme, WindowBlinds theme, and that's about it. It looks really good in my own opinion!

I took clindhartsen's idea and dpliced both avatar and sig image from the same pic.
I have swithced to a megaman desktop. It can be found at www.bobandgeorge.com , home of Bob and George, the first sprite comic ever. And a great comic it is. Oh, here:
/idealbb/files/BnGdesktop.JPG
 
EDIT: before someone freaks out, both of those character in the pic are robots (Protoman and Roll). Hence, the wires sticking out of the wound. And that's oil, not blood. As for how robots can cry, well, it's just a webcomic.....
