Show us your... desktops.

*raises his hand*


Erm.......guilty. :eek::p



But it's so good, it actually has some meat to it, something us theorists can really get our teeth into!!! :D




Heh. Well, I recommend that you do try and catch up at some point. Not that you'll know what it's aboot, but then who does? Think you're right that we won't know the full story until the very last show. Although I do have a few ideas............

One of the most disappointing ends to a quirky and original series ever, you mean? :)

I second watching Lost - it is intriguing and has managed to keep my attention this long (apart from a wishy-washy third season). I'm still guessing.

And to put us back on topic:

It's artwork from the first Gears of War game.
 
Pretty. :)

I see you, unlike Leisha, have no aversion to knip. :rolleyes:

I'm in the midst of desiging my own, and I wanted to know how big everything [at my settings] is:



So I build me a grid. The startbar is 30px high, the sidebar is 150px wide, there's a 15px gap between the sidebar and the icons, and each icon is 73px high and 74px wide. The space between each icon is 1px to the right, and 14px below, so each rectangle on the grid is 87px by 75px.

Now that looks quite involved... what sort of plans do you have for a design? How would the icons feature in it?

/nosiness :D
 
I want to make bubbles and clumps of icons that relate to the same thing - the browsers would all go together, f'rinstance. All the folders will be together.

I installed a program when I was still on XP that allowed me to completely customise my desktop.

This is all I got done, but it's easy to see the clump of Office icons, and the three Macromedia icons (Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash).

I may find the program and do it that way again, but I'm hoping instead to make clever use of a background image instead, and just position the icons where I want them.

It's at times like this, too, when I wish I had a 1900x1200 monitor, just for the extra desktop space. :rolleyes:
 
I forget - What size screen are you factoring in for your Über-PC?



EDIT: It's a 1920 x 1200.

That looked interesting. If I ever liked or had ever used icons, something like that would have been hugely appealing. Pretty, minimalistic and useful too.
 
I used to use the Office shortcut bar (still do at work), but now I use the quick launch. I hate having icons on my desktop, so I trash anything I don't need and group everything else into folders or dump it to QL. Oddly, my QL bar isn't that crowded. ;)

1920x1200. :) Maybe even 3840x1200, if an extra £800 (monitor and a second graphics card, as the card I want only has a single HDMI port - nVidia GeForce 9800GX2) suddenly materialises from somewhere. :rolleyes:

Minimalistic is always a plus, yes. I've already got 12 "SORT NOW!!!" folders in My Documents filled with the victims of my spring cleans. :p

And with the number of things I use, I'll need a much wider screen before contemplating using Quick Launch.
 
not overly cluttered, this one.
in fact, i don't think i know what half the icons do.
 
Ay. at least you use creative media source, In my opinion the best and most user frendly bedia organizer on the market. Most of what you got on your desktop can be pot into folder. Call it media players.
 
Oh yeah. If you really want to unclutter your desktop. you can download
any to icon, icon maker. make a black icon, set black as transparent. now you have an invisible icon. I have very few visible icons. the ones I do have I drew.
 
actually, i don't even use mediasource any more, cos it kept duplicating every track on the HD.......but my Creative Player is miles better than a WhyPod. :D
 
Did you change anything between sync's? Thats how the duplication happens. Anything. Mine used to do that But I learned not to use the sync button till one or the other was purged.
 
Here's mine, back to lovin' Betty this week-snails again on Monday no doubt.:D

Must look into changing my icons they seriously bug me.

oops! HELP!!er, how can I shrink it??? Betty is eating the thread!!

I really shouldn't attempt these things ya know...

Oh, well maybe just stars or shapes or something if that's possible. I don't have many on my desktop as they annoy me, but just a few for my shortcuts would be great. is it possible then? I don't poke about the pc too much tbh, so if its simple I apologise for asking the obvious!:D
