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.

Your version is much funnier!

this was the previous one

Hmmm... there's some purple in there, I see. However, I have to have my wallpaper fill my whole screen. I don't like it with a border (unless it's a small black border).

Did you take these yourself, Flavia? The top image is my favourite.

Nice backgrounds - lenny that so funny!
Well here is mine - that folder is holding 100 icons that used to take up all the space on my desktop - I did house cleaning:

Oh, OR, that is lovely! I'd change the taskbar from black, though, if that were my machine. Unless you're on Vista Basic - you can't change it, then.

I've since scaled down on the sidebar gadgets; I took this pic shortly after installing Vista so I went a little nuts. The background is an original piece of art that's a re-imagining of "The Great Wave," a popular Japanese painting.

Mine...

I love your Great Wave desktop, CM.

And I have a soft spot for OR's. (No, really.) And the space shots. And Italy. In fact, I could do with a few dozen screens in my office so that I could see most of the ones posted here so far. We're obviously a very discerning lot, (despite a lot of contradictory evidence ).

Some great looking desktops here. I go for the completely uncluttered look - I hide all the icons.

The background art was done by my brother.

Thanks Ursa

And very nice Ice.

Who is that dude Culwhch?

 

[Talysia]

This is my current one, although I'm thinking of changing it to something lighter in tone. I love the artwork, though. My compliments to the artist!

It's nice, Tal. Looks like Yuna as a seraph....

Here is mine! I change mine quite often, I seem to get tired of backgrounds pretty fast. I got this one at this website: Digital Blasphemy 3D Wallpaper.

I also have the Mac dock (despite being on a laptop) on mine, because I prefer it to the windows bar.

I am not computer savvy so forgive me for this question.

How do you get the Mac dock on your computer instead of the windows bar?

 

[Erin99]

Lady Winterfell, you can download a doc called "Aqua Dock" here: Download Aqua Dock 1.0 - Aqua Dock - An OS X style, animated launchbar/taskbar on your screen - Softpedia. I've used it in the past, and it's very good.

Also, another dock I've used in the past is "Stardock": Stardock ObjectDock

And you can hide your windows bar by right-clicking on it and selecting "Properties", then "Auto-hide the taskbar", which will hide it until you put your mouse near the bottom of your screen.


Anyway, I've changed my background, since everyone else had beautiful images (especially like the tsunami one. I've always liked that particular image). I've chosen one of my holiday photos from Scotland. The sky's a little washed out, but I still like it.

Darn thats a good image Leisha!
I like the colouring as well

 

[Erin99]

Heh - thanks. I altered it slightly so it would look purple (it has to fit my theme).

 

[Stenevor]

Been using this one for ages its Tryfan in Snowdonia.

 

[Snowdog]

Still using the old Classic desktop

I change the picture regularly, but always go back to this at some point.
