What does your desktop look like?

Post Reply New Topic

I think there was a past thread, but it appears to have died. Here is a printscreen of my desktop:



I used PrtScn, opened a 1026X772 image in GIMP, Ctrl+V, save as a gif, upload via photobucket.

Many ways to show your desktop I'm sure, but that was my route. HAVE FUN!

i have a tendency to tell things to download to the desktop... and thus mine is a mess... lol

iamnotaparakeet,
which windows is that?

is pete tong, favourite dj.
have edited colour since last shot,and downloaded lates open office and GIMP.

Windows 2000 Professional, which came with the computer and I like it. It is simple and usable for most practical purposes. I also have Open Office and GIMP, as well as various chemistry freeware.

Rather unconventional for XP.

That's a really good idea, I'll have to do that. It would be a LOT quicker than going to the Start menu.

Here's mine - shrunk down so as not to make the window too wide. I have a dual monitor setup and one screen is smaller than the other.



The background is one from Ctrl+Alt+Del - love that webcomic

The start menu just ends up too much of a mess anyway, with every installer dumping it's crap in there.

It's pretty easy to do, you just right click on the toolbar, select Toolbars/New toolbar and then pick a folder full of shortcuts. I usually log out (windows key-L-L) and in again to save the changes, because it's a pain if I leave the computer on for ages and it ends up crashing, as I have to rearrange the menus again.

It's about time I added a drop down for downloads, seeing as my MBP has a stacks thing for it's downloads.

Having nothing on the desktop means I don't have to move anything to get to icons, and the toolbar is at the top because that's where it is on Ubuntu and OSX, and it's a lot easier to read and move a mouse down menus than up them.

I may get around to buying Vista for this thing in a few months, but at the moment I'm loving the way OSX Leopard handles windows/spaces/exposé/stacks, and has built ssh support, so I use it for most of my development work (Smultron is a great little editor).




Too late (I did set jpg compression to max though).

I'd like a dual monitor set-up again, but I'd have to get a bigger desk first (have done tri-monitor in the past. Looks sweet running a matrix screensaver).

Here's my CDE desktop with workspace 4 Open thats the workspace that has the same background as my avatar.

Workspace 2 has an image of Ayeka from Tenchi Ayeka is also the name of my main Sun.

I am using Style Xp with a lime green cough drop theme, I don't like having alot of icons on my desktop as it is inefficient, and can slow the computer down
