Show us your... desktops.

[Erin99]

I thought this would go well with the other thread, Show us your... setup

So... let's see your wallpaper and your menu layout. For anyone who needs to grab a screenshot and doesn't know how (is that possible?), you do this:

1) Close all your windows so you can see your wallpaper.
2) Press PrtSc (print screen) on your keyboard, which will copy an image into your memory.
3) Open an art program and press Ctrl and v at the same time.
4) Save the image. If the filesize is too big to upload here, use this site: Picture resize - Shrink or enlarge a GIF, JPG, JPEG, or PNG Image.


Me, I've customised my Vista Aero into a purple theme with transparencies:

ok..............

 

[Ursa major]

Anyone got a magnifying glass?

 

[HardScienceFan]

great one Ursa

there's a face, and possibly a hand on the left?
and those are interstellar dust clouds?

 

[Ursa major]

It's a picture of the Eta Carinae Nebula. And it does look like a section of hell, with demons, skulls ... you name it, the human mind can see it. (I almost used the "head" at the bottom, just to the right of centre, as my avatar, but I think Thread Bear is more threatening in his cuddly way. Or perhaps not....)

 

[Erin99]

Ben, yours looks cluttered! I could not stand that many images together.

I like yours, Ursa. That's a lovely nebula.

 

[gully_foyle]

Bit more minimalist than Ben's. Love the Hubble image Ursa.

Mine's a pic of the Milky Way above Death Valley. I used to have pics of the kids, but I give alot of presentations from my laptop, and the audience really doesn't need to see some anonymous three year old with vegemite smeared all over her face.

Vista Ultimate, with my old XP wallpaper.

I try to clean it up every weekend... it's amazing how messy it gets during the week. I've got twenty to thirty "SORT OUT!!1", "SORT OUT!!2", "SORT OUT!!3"... folders full of all the things I've cleaned from my desktop.

Small:

Link to fullsized.

 

[Erin99]

LOL, Len! I have the same problem - that's why I hid my icons.

Loving the Kitty God...

 

[HardScienceFan]

why thank you
i consider that a complliment
i specifically went for a cluttered look
the diversity of geology was the underlying theme
think i succeeded

 

[gully_foyle]

LOL++ Lenny!

 

[Lenny]

Tut tut. You cheat, Leish.

You should see what I managed to get in the year with XP.

I think it was eight columns of ten icons each at the left, and two columns with seven each at the right.

Thank goodness I've got the monitor space!

Have you seen the original "Ceiling Cat is watching you...", gully? If not: http://www.cisnky.com/images/blog/ceiling_cat.jpg

Someone's redone it with King Leonidas! I'm thinking of swapping Ceiling Cat with Lenoidas on my wallpaper.

EDIT: Here it is: http://static.mmoabc.com/my/M/i/c/hael/2007/10/18//1192727891790.jpg

You can still see the cats whiskers behind his head. Something tha needs to be touches up, says I.

I have a theme - it must look purple(ish).

 

[Ursa major]

I like yours, Ursa. That's a lovely nebula.

I can't recall where I got it, but it was probably a Wiki picture of the day, but the 7Mb version. (And I had dial up then!)

Laptop's being a bit slow and I can't be bothered to wait to upload my desktop, but I just thought I'd add that I'm another space type...I have the Pillars of Creation and surrounding clouds as my background. I also have the Mac dock (despite being on a laptop) on mine, because I prefer it to the windows bar. It also means that I have hardly any icons on my desktop; too many always irritates me...makes the place look untidy

I expected something more Minty

I think a background says a lot about a person. You space types are intelligent. Uh... what's mine mean, then?

 

[Pyan]

Biggest I can get it and stay within the limits....started at 2.28 Mb!
(edit) Another intelligent type!

 

[Flavia]

Hi! This is mine.

The floating beast in the middle is a ferocious swan (they can drag young children into the lake and drown them just for the heck of it).

 

[Erin99]

Hello, Flavia! I like those swans. I have a few people I could take for a nice trip to the lake...


Ben, that is much better! But what's "plug.jpg"? It's open in the background. I'm picturing a sink plug, for some reason...

I like yours, too, Py.
