your desktop

I am surprised that no one has done this here yet..
almost every forum has a desktop showcase
so, show me your desktop!

here is mine

I opened my computer so you can see that my icons are hacked

I'm generally too busy using my puter to see my desktop :eek:

Besides, all that fancy stuff sucks up resources ;)

OK...........here's mine.

I have mine done very efficiently tho, the Visual style is done using a patched uxtheme.., so it doesn't take up any more then using the ones that came with windows
y'z dock and trillian rarely use any CPU up when they are hidden (they have auto-hide on) otherwise they are CPU hogs.., but it doesn't matter cause they can use all the CPU they want when I am only using one or the other
the hacked icons are just in there in place of the XP ones.., so they use no more resources

besides, I have my 3400+, minds well use it..I noticed no slow downs, and I have a seperate user for games that runs bb4win

here is mine

I don't know how anyone can stand all those icons splattered all over the place. I like mine minimalist (and relaxing). Different wallpaper for each monitor is a cool nVidia feature:

*drool*, I want dual monitors..
but another monitor isn't in the budget at the moment

Ditto, the problem is that i went for a 19" first(my first tft) and now it would be weird having anything smaller with it, so i would need a pay raise asap:)

P.S: Any charity is welcomed towards the new monitor fund :p

Here's my SuSE 9.0 Linux desktop;

low enough resolution?

600X800 Byan. You'll get old someday and need bigger print. :)

I hope not.., I can't stand working in lower resolutions.., winamp takes up 3/4 of the screen that way, let alone anything that is suppost to take up some space

My latest....

Being of a whimsical nature and totally ungeeky.

I tend to not follow the beaten path as such. :rolleyes:

And,,with my neat lil' wallpaper changer program,i can have them change automatically,or whenever I click an icon in taskbar to access well over 200 of them... :)

I wasn't going to post mine, but being a former pro photog, I couldn't stay away. My desktop photo is one I took a few years ago and have sold reprints of it. It's below:

I knew I should have jumped into the photog arena!

Nice macros Abhoth. ;) Maybe we should start a thread for our best photos here in the lounge. I've done macros over the years, might even post some here or in new thread/post if any one's interested???

And for the all time photog question:

What equipment did you use?

Using a Nikon Coolpix 990 ... and a great deal of patience!

Any macro invovled with bugs, insects, etc, always takes patience. I used to lay on my stomach and shoot any crawling insect within camera range. Kind of tough to do that here where I live now, too many sandspurs.....:D

Yeah, the sand spurs would not be good ...

What are sandspurs? I can't even find a definition on Google :confused:

OK, here's mine:

SuperSparks, here's a description though there are no photos:

Here's a pic:

I like it simple...

shotsi :)

Ah, I see what you mean now. That does indeed look uncomfortable :D

I think that's a good idea, Photolady, to start a thread on the members best photos. Lets do it.

I found my destop from a few years back..

back then I used to put anything and everything on my desktop

Mmmmmm Mess, or more like "Well Used" :)



Liam

My, My!! How in the world did you find anything will all that mess? LOL

got a sample alienware thing that’s quite good and my own custom background i have just found.

Ya, looks pretty cool, quite fat icons :D



Liam

I felt too embarrased about the mess on my desktop so I cleaned up a bit before I submitted the screenshot. :D
