Show us your... desktops.

Just over two months later and I've utilised a neat little trick that has my Recycle Bin living down on my taskbar:

What a beautiful sight a totally clean desktop is, eh? Shame about the window glow from something on the other screen.

That wallpaper is one of 228 which now change every 5 minutes.

I'll stick with my B-17G, thanks. (Post 531).

I've started to get bored with wallpapers easily and I found that trawling various wallpaper archive sites after the Saturday/Sunday football wasted the hours between the final whistle and tea time.

Current one (one of my favourites):

Lamarr (named after the actress Hedy Lamarr) is a headcrab from Half-Life 2. She's been de-beaked and is something of a pet for one of the characters, Dr. Kleiner.

This would be my current one. I took this photo just the other day, it is of the band Kisschasy. Yay for iPhones and their half decent cameras.

Back to using the PC, with one of my recent photos as a wallpaper

 

[Rosemary]

That's a wonderful desktop, AE

I was going to post mine but it won't work as the picture is in bitmap. Is there anyway I can change that to jpeg?

 

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

Yes, Rosie. You should be able to save it as a jpeg.

 

[The Ace]

OK, found a new one;

Thanks, one of my better photos from this year!

At last - My Desktop!

 

[Culhwch]

Haven't done this for awhile - my current WP, sans icons...

 

[Simple Simon]

Here's me...

 

[Vertigo]

here's my desktop, curtesy of Fuzzy Modem!

Actually I never really used to bother with a desktop image like this as I can almost never see it - I generally have at least half a dozen apps open at a time and there's not much of the background that isn't covered!

 

[Pyan]

This is mine - not the Alps, but the Lake District last week...

 

[Vertigo]

Gah... now I'm tyring to figure where the shot is taken from Pyan - is it maybe looking down the South ridge of Fairfield?

 

[Pyan]

It's on the summit ridge of Blencathra, looking toward Derwent Water, with the Scafells and Gable in the far distance...

 

[Vertigo]

Ah a fine little hill. I thought is was central to eastern'ish but I was way too far south.

 

[Pyan]

Not that little - it's killed 9 people in the last 60 years...

Have a look here, if you enjoy the Lakes...Striding Edge - a photo diary of Lake District Fell walks

An excellent site.

Edit - just looked at your profile, Vertigo - yes, the fells will be a bit smalelr than what you're used to. Small but beautifully formed, though, as they say...

 

[Vertigo]

Indeed, I have spent many enjoyable days in the Lakes and have climbed Blencathra several times usually by the rather fun Sharp Edge, so a bit bad that I didn't recognise it straight away!
