Show us your... desktops.

Beautiful, HJ. (And I love your lion avatar.)

 

[Erin99]

edit: btw, why is this thread in the games forum?

Momentary lapse in concentration?

Nah. I just figured this thread was too computery for the Lounge and yet misplaced elsewhere. So I stuck it here. If a mod wants to move it to a more suitable place, be my guest...

Where did you get those blue-themed gadgets Leish?

The blue gadgets are downloaded from Windows Vista Sidebar (the website the sidebar links to when you press “Get more gadgets online”). I just configured each one to look blue instead of their normal colour.

The ones you see in my screenshot are these (in order):

DriveInfo
Weather (built in to the sidebar already)
Top Processes
Multi Meter
iStat wireless
iStat battery

Very nice. I'll have to check the site out again, I haven't been using my Sidebar ( namely because the differing colors of the gadgets were too dissimilar from my theme ).

Hey guys, just wanted to say thanks again for the advice on the ObjectDock. Downloaded it and loving it!

This is ours

If anyone wants to see my desktop, they're welcome to come and have a look. What the h**l is an art programme ? My wallpaper is a download from visualparadox.com , called something like 'Pump,' but after 3 attempts to follow the instructions, you'll just have to imagine it. Anyone attempting to 'Assist,' me will be shot.

 

[Overread]

Right: I can survive a shot
first off get a view of the screen; then press the "PrtScr buttong on the keyboard (its next to scroll lock).
after that load up paint and go to edit and then past. This will past in the screen shot of your desktop. Now save this to a file,

Now go online and make a post here and in the post go to manage attachments - at the bottom of the advanced make a post section. This will open an attachments window where you can select the file off your computer and upload it to the site = once uploaded, close the attachments window and complete the post

there - awaits the shot

 

[The Ace]

Here goes, it's a real pain to resize, though.

 

[Overread]

hehe = *does not get shot *
the desktops seem to be starting an outer space trend,

 

[The Ace]

I've been using this kind of thing for years. My boss doesn't do screenshots, so I never learned how.

 

[Erin99]

Very nice desktops! Yeah, I noticed the space-thing going on. Odd.

Wybe, I like the temperature readouts at the top of yours! I had something similar a while ago.

 

[Woodfoot]

Just to break the space theme.....

Here is Silverstone from the pits, a mate of mine doing his warm up lap

 

[Pyan]

Aha! worked out how to do it properly!

We need to monitor the temperature so we don't get things melting again

 

[The Ace]

Of course, that's one of the advantages of living in Scotland. Here's the full version.

 

[Wybren]

Yes, I would think that we wouldn't have that problem if we lived in a cooler climate.

 

[gully_foyle]

Pyan, that would be a classic example of a barred spiral galaxy, maybe NGC1300 which is in the constellation of Eridanus.

 

[Joel007]

At the moment my desktop is a good action screenshot I tend to switch between screenshots depending on what game I'm playing.

 

[Lenny]

That's one hell of a screenshot.

Does the actual game when it's running meet the screenshot quality, out of interest?
