Now that is an interesting little guy.  A snail hunter with a mushroom cap.  What a neat garden gnome.  Your own art?

Nah, I didn't create that little fellow, found him somewhere on the net and I fell in love with him right away. Kinda cute, I think.

Couldn't agree more, Fred.  That is the definition of cute.

It looks like a more interesting re-interpretation of a smurf

I looked at the title of this thread and thought damn I don't have a desktop PC lol.

Anyway here's mine bit cluttered but I have seen worse.

oooo Family of Nissans.....

 

Duh, my explorer broke again, but I once use Subaru's family picture

A neat desk[top] is the sign of a sick mind.

A family of GT-R's*

A neat desk[top] is the sign of a sick mind.

That sound's quite plausible. It could also be the sign of someone with to much time on their hands.

It's so nice to have a clean desktop. It was a complete nightmare before this.

 

 

The pic is a screenshot of the new Zelda game for the Wii U from Nintendo's E3 address.

Anyone fancy a game a chess?

 

 

I have no idea where I got the inspiration to make this, but I pumped it out in one go on GIMP.

[Roman_Samudra 213]

^^ Would be more totally cool if you replace the chess pawn horses and such with your (modified) icon

Hey look, I have an A.I. in my computer. A pretty one to be honest

July 2014 desktop Ubuntu Unity 14.04 with launcher showing (normally hidden)

 

[GMT 389]

I cant take a srceeny of my desktop atm as my pc is undergoing maintenance (or better, one ram stick died on me, I have to send in all the ram for a replacement and I don't have no alternatives), but I can happily explain it:

 

this picture and NOTHING else. no files no nothing, unless it's a recent download - which I route to my desktop - or somehow else in use and not archived yet.

I like it neat and clean... and I really really really like this picture.

[mrsmartman 200]

Nice babe.

 

I use the landscape wallpapers which come with Microsoft Windows 7.

[Huston 5,800]

My, one and only, desktop

 

 

aaaaaaaaaand Origin...*sigh* Btw, does anyone know how to change their W7 desktop theme [theme as in, personalized task bar/start button/windows and not the background like it says on W7]?

[Alejandro24 575]

Linux Mint 17 Qiana with KDE desktop. Totally clean (I have not installed Conky yet ):

 

Showing the panels:

 

And the Dashboard:

From the PC I used to play SC4 on.

 

[Enekist 39]

Ubuntu 14.04 for August 2014.  Launcher normally hidden.

 

[Darth Apple 54]

@Nonny: Ubuntu users unite.

 

 

This is mine, running Ubuntu and Gnome 3 (with a few extensions). Click for full size. 

[A Nonny Moose 8,263]

@DarthApple:  Too cluttered.  I prefer as little as possible on the desktop, which is why I use the menu applet.

[Darth Apple 54]

I suppose not having the launcher visible would help. I'm using an extension that allows it to be access without the activities panel, but it autohides by default if anything is open, which helps. I don't really use the desktop often, but I suppose I like having something other than blank space to stare at when I do see the desktop. I'm stubborn like that. 

 

One thing that I like about Gnome 3 is that the workspaces actually work properly. In unity, I don't see the purpose of having the workspaces at all because of how they are implemented, but unity's interface is simpler and more straightforward in some other respects. Overall, I like both environments, and find it hard to really decide which I prefer. 

[A Nonny Moose 8,263]

I take the unity desktop because I am too jaded to bother with anything else.  I've been in the computer business since 1962 and for me retired really does mean retired.  Initially, it was hard to let go, but since I am no longer in the rat race, I've really lost touch with the bleeding edge.

After recently buying a great new computer, I loaded up SimCity 4 (and downloaded a ton of mods that would've made my 12-year-old computer chug), and I'm playing again after a long time away.  I hopped on here to look up something about the EQ, and I came across this thread in the search list.

 

So, for years of helpful info and some great add-ons that I'm really getting a kick out of playing, I figured there might be some here that might appreciate my current desktop (it rotates) as a small thank you

My current desktop.

@SA: What are the dimensions and resolution of your screen?

@SA: What are the dimensions and resolution of your screen?

 

3840x1080 - it's a dual-screen setup. Windows 8.1's multi-monitor support is far, far superior to that of Windows 7.
