Post your desktop. There's not much I can add to that. If it wasn't 2 AM and I was feeling more witty, I'm sure I could make this more interesting. But, such is life.
Here it is, linked instead of just posted because the image is quite huge and I didn't want to totally mess up the thread for everyone else reading it. I could have shrunk it, but I didn't want to lose the intricate details. ; )
Behold, mortals (http://chubshuffle.com/bobthejanitor/desktop.jpg)
Yes, everything on there does what it looks like it does. If anyone can beat that for ultimate coolness of desktop, I will be quite surprised. But I am ready for the challenge!

nice, is that a samurize Desktop or did you use a more crispy program ?
EDIT: just looked at the toolbar, its not samurize, unless he found a way to hide the icon XD
-
I can beat ultimate coolness by NOT having that rediculous eyesore 'link' crap on my desktop :p

All done in active desktop with hand coded HTML. OMG L33T!!!!1! Actually not that elite, as I got the basic code from somewhere else and just custmized it for my stuff. And u235, it's okay. You can just admit you're burning with jealousy, I don't mind. <3

Esuna: It takes a real man to have a pink desktop. I salute you. Also OMG HAWT KAWAII WALLPAPER OMG!
Legionnaired: http://www.nerdusa.com/index.php?cat=13 (http://www.nerdusa.com/index.php?cat=13) That's the template I used, which is pretty obvious looking at it. I keep meaning to take all the little ..:: stuff out, as it's awfully trend-whoreish, but I'm too lazy.
It's called tsdesk, and was invented by people on the something awful forums. Which leads to...
Uranium: NUBCOOKIE! 10 bux for teh bestz0r forums on teh intarweb! Also, I don't like having anything more on my start bar than is necessary. I can minimize all and search that way just fine. I figure the start bar is for links that I want to have at hand immediately. Like the last program in the quick bar is a shortcut to resetgamma.exe -- a steam NS player's best friend!

Also, since we're posting desktops, we might at well share cool places to get wallpapers, as these threads usually degerated into requests for wallpapers. (so, LB, where'd you get that wallpaper?)
Mine usually come from:
http://www.pixelgirlpresents.com (http://www.pixelgirlpresents.com)
http://www.themexp.org (http://www.themexp.org)
And I used to get a ton from deskmod.com but they ran out of hosting bandwitdh a while back and have been running a 'lite' sight without any wallpapers for download. :(
Edit: Also, art.softshape.com has some wicked awesome wallpapers. Most of them in 1600x1200 which is good, since that's the only size I can use without futzing around with the code.

Heh, my desktop is not quite as clean as you guys desktops. I like to have all my stuff readily accessable.

yes, SC is what made this commraging owl you see today.

oh yeah, my desktops are exceedingly boring or just boring to you guys :) one is my work desktop, very vanilla. the other is my personal pc desktop which is just a blue background with a pic of the wife and me having a cup o joe.

And yeah, the . . : : stuff + the all-lowercase thing is pretty trend-whorish. Also too lazy over here. I was trying to come up with some other little 'decorations' that looked nice. Plain text was just a little boring.

I'm probably the only one who can think of several long-term BENEFITS to starcraft never existing... one of which is fewer blizzard fanboys screaming praise about anything, no matter how shallow, mindless, and ^^ty it is, with a blizzard logo on it. And a good reason for hating blizzard is "starcraft: ghost" and "starcraft 2" for very obvious reasons.
-
I see no obvious reason for hating Starcraft 2 except for it's absence. Ghost is indeed quite obvious.
And the wallpaper, fear the FLCL Uranium.

Hey, someone's been checking their referrer logs I see. ; )
Yeah, thanks for the tutorial. With that to work with (and reading every page of that ten mile long thread) I managed to get the desktop pretty much the way I wanted it.

While I fully agree with your sentiments about Blizzard fanboyism (just because WoW is made by Blizzard doesn't mean that it will automatically own, you know? To err is human, ok? Heck, it's a MMORPG. You should know better than having faith), I haven't heard anything about SC: Ghost that sounds really bad. So? So I'll check the reviews when it's done, and base my decision of purchase on that.
Can't speak about SC 2. It's been announced? Didn't know.

And yes hmm about that,
Reasons for hating WoW without having played it: Diablo sucked and was in no shape or form an RPG. ###### it was just a point-click action game, hardly more then what someone could program into a flash game easilly. D2 even moreso. If D1 and D2 is anything to go by, I'm not reserving any faith in them.
Reasons for hating SC:G without having played it: 3 words: X-Box Exclusive Title. Also after Renegade, I dont' really trust another company famous for its RTS game to make an FPS.
Reasons for hating SC:2 without having played it: FFS it's been how many damn years? This is just insulting now...
-
[...]Reasons for hating SC:G without having played it: 3 words: X-Box Exclusive Title. Also after Renegade, I dont' really trust another company famous for its RTS game to make an FPS.[...]
Ghost is being developed for all three major consoles. Unless they've cancelled it for the GameCube and the PS2 without me hearing about it (or GameSpy for that matter).

OH NO THE X-BOX IS MADE BY MICROSOFT WE HAVE TO HATE IT NOW

Actually that'd be nice if you've got it in 1600x1200. I like blankish wallpapers, as busy ones tend to make the text hard to read.

I thought I read a few months ago it was only x-box.
But Console Exclusive is as good a reason to hate it as x-box x-clusive (badum-tiss?)
Consoles: Stupid machines for stupid people. Blizzard hit negative numbers on my respect meter when I heard it was for consoles. God there's sometimes I wish I could afford a rifle and have a nice perch into a board meeting room...
-
[...]Console Exclusive is as good a reason to hate it as x-box x-clusive[...]
Well yeah, in that neither is a good one at all. If you hate it for being exclusive, you've got your disaffections messed up: Actually, you love the game, you just hate the developer.
-

Okay well:
1) Like Grand Theft Auto, Starcraft was concieved on, built on, and born for the PC. Console only (Like GTA, or at least making PC gamers wait one extra year on it) is downright insulting. These little 14 year old wannabees who think they're a 'h4rdc0r3 h4xx0r g4m0r' because they play their XBOX LIVE 14 hours a day deserve nothing more then a kick in the face. Consoles are knockoff "PC-Lite" systems for people too stupid, lazy, or poor to run a computer themselves, I don't see why a publisher feels they're 'worth more' then PC gamers who are repsonsible for starcraft even surviving in the FIRST PLACE.
Summed up: Blizzard has basically squatted on the entire PC gaming community and dropped a Cleveland Steamer.
2) The game looks corney as well. Look at the screenshots, the protoss are about 5 and a half feet tall (in game and cinematic they're about 8), and horribly disproportioned. The game looks like a really bad joke. The zerg are pathetic, they look like plush toys, for the love of god. Look at half-life 2 and Doom 3... yeah, now which looks better? A flattextured zerg with generic 'brown' coloring, or the antlion's carapace reflecting sunlight off its bumpmapped... bumps.
-
I don't dislike WoW, I just think it's massively over-hyped and on railway tracks off a large cliff of disappointment. Everyone's going 'omg! blizzard made it! it must be good!'. Like U235 I immediately thought of D and DII and dismissed the silly fanpersonism immediately.
Then I saw the video... oh... my... god... could they have made combat look any more amazingly dull? It makes 2 cavemen taking turns to hit each other over the head look complicated -.-
-
Woo! Starcraft Ghost!
I <3 my X-Box.

Sweetness. You can put the recyc bin on the address bar and empty it from there. Let me know if you find the executable command for empty recycle bin, I'd love to make that a link and get the thing out of the taskbar. The other icons, meh, who needs 'em. You can put links to the exact same stuff on the desktop.
-
Yeah.. I'm a nub and decided to try that active desktop crap..
So far it has only proved to annoy the hell out of me. I mean, its great.. but I can't seem to set paramaters on my programs.. no -console for won HL... No -developer 1 for COD.. and so on. Then there is my LAN.. can't find a good way to link to that...
Can't find a way to link to my recyle bin..
Yeah.. pretty much stuck on trying to figure out stuff.. So.. I'll post mine.. when I figure it out..
Help is always appriciated.. =/
-
Command line switches require a special format for typing them in. It's been so long since I did mine that I've forgotten what they were... When I get home I'll post the correct way to fix it. If you want a quick and dirty fix, create a seperate shortcut to the program you're trying to run, add the switches to that shortcut, then make ANOTHER shortcut to that shortcut and run the second shortcut off the desktop... I told you it was pretty dirty.
-
Oh well.. I got bored and decided to migrate to a different version of tsDesk... a more annoying one at that...
But annoyances aside.. it looks pretty damn cool.
edit: Finally finished all that damn coding.. it now weighs in at a hefty 6 megs of memory :o
Edit again: my old desktop can be found here (http://www.geocities.com/catric_snailer/desktop.html)
Which one looks better? :huh:

God it's so irritating when people censor their program, like anyone would really give a **** what it says, and like you're pretending to be a 'l33t h4x0r!'. Seriously, what the hell is the point? From the number of people that I see do it in 'post your desktop' threads, I'm 100% convinced you're all faking your 'illegal softwarez!!!'
NOTE I don't mean censoring buddylists, that makes sense (except censoring your name in MSN messenger... because your name means nothing in that program :D)
-
You never know when the feds might come...must be ever watchful. I don't feel like uploading my desktop. It's very simple though: has two icons (Recycle Bin and Files). The desktop itself is just a portion of the cover of the Thirteenth Step album (the face of a woman with that slug-like animal on it). It's also inverted color-wise.

NOTE I don't mean censoring buddylists, that makes sense (except censoring your name in MSN messenger... because your name means nothing in that program :D)
U235, you bring up a number of good points. But, you miss a number of reasons why one may want to censor icons/parts of a Desktop screenshot.
1) someone on MSN using their real name as a a screen name. I know a number of people who only give out their emails to close friends, thus it should be okay for them to use their real name, right? Well, I didn't feel like giving out their name to everyone and everything that comes through this thread.
2) If there things in the screen shot that are not allowed on the forums.
Warez for example are not allowed. Thus showing of a picture with a nice big warez folder/warez links lying around isn't the smartest idea.
3)Once again names, if you have, say a link to someones blog or xanga or live journal or whatever on your screen, chances are you have their name in the title. Thus people who wanted to could stole into their xanga/lj/blog whatever and harass them or other things. Not nice thing to do.
Yeah, censoring everything might be bad.. but censoring things that you believe should be censored because its not really something you want to give away or shouldn't be giving away, then yeah.. censor it. I censored my friends names, much like your example of censoring a aim buddy list.
-
U-235: The reason I did that was because its the same thing we can't talk about on IRC, I figured the same rule applied on public forums.
Bob: Yea, it doesn't seem to like commandline stuff, I'm using seperate shortcuts for my hlds stuff, which seems to work fine, although its inconvenient
I'm trying to figure out how to have the number of unread emails on my desktop too.. which means I have to parse the stuff from yahoo main, or code a pop client

That's exactly WHY you need them. So you don't HAVE to go outside. You just look at your desktop and say "oh man, it's 25 degrees out there, I should stay in and play NS." And then you live happily ever after.

Look in page 2 of this thread, it has the whole setup there. Basically it took 3 hours of tweaking.
The connect to whatever through steam is possible, there's something there in the NS Tech Support forum, link when they get back up.

Allright, fellas. Lets not fight about anything here. I'll have you know that I have some led fans. So what? :p
-
Really, you see now? Just like covering your desktop in wierd ###### might be cool to you, and to everyone else it looks like a cluttered random crappy mess, modding your case is the same way. Jefe it wouldn't be a stereotype if it wasn't true, and the only person I'd trust on these forums to mod a case and make it look good would be esuna. Almost all computer geeks have absolutely no artistic talent whatsoever, seeing them shove mismatched colors in their case like anyone would care to see all the wires and then post pictures and say 'OMG IT'S COOL!' is just sad.
-
I "cover my desktop in weird ######" because it's useful to me. I didn't do it to look cool because, guess what?
I DON'T CARE ABOUT MY DESKTOP LOOKING COOL[/b][/size]
Why are you so god damn stubborn? Have you ever, ever seen something from someone else's point of view? It's damn convinient. I have tons and tons of links to all of my stuff without it cluttering my desktop with tons of pictures. I have no clue why you would relate this to horribly modded cases like that. Grow up, you have no reason to start flaming me for liking some god damn convinience.
Die and go to hell.

I got offended because you called me a dumbass and then stereotyped me with a bunch of case modding jackasses. I wanted to show what I did with the tsDesk module, God forbid I post it in the post your desktop thread.
Edit: Go to hell
-
I "cover my desktop in weird ######" because it's useful to me. I didn't do it to look cool because, guess what?
I DON'T CARE ABOUT MY DESKTOP LOOKING COOL[/b][/size]

Uranium, your outta line here, not to mention tact...
you can flame people in one post, and moderate in another, but dont do both in the same one, it looks bad

Flaming != my opinion, no matter how offended you get. I'm not going to say 'Oh yeah! Your desktop looks cool because I'm not going to tell you how I truely feel just in case I offend you!'
1) You posted the desktop.
2) Grimm (was it grimm?) sez: Weather stuff is stupid.
3) I say: It looks ugly and the weather stuff reminds me of people who case mod.
4) You blow up while managing to fail at a flame.
5) I take it the wrong way, show you stupid case mods.
6) You blow up again.
Really now...
-
Wow...just...wow.
-
Okay so if I'm supposed to moderate in a seperate post:
1) Jefe, you were wrong to begin with. Whatever nerve I struck, you really need to get a grip.
2) Okay so your desktop might be useful to you. But I really can't see a point to the weather stuff (it's called a window), the 'console' and that notepad thing on it. In my opinion, it's ugly, and stupid.
3) Anymore posts on this will be nuked.
-
It's for the same reason people spend money shoving ^^ty lights into their case while deluding themsevles that it's NOT an eyesore.
Hmm, the way you put that it sounds like you're saying that I'm an empty shell of a man who gets all of his kicks out of posting his cool stuff and having a big huge e-p3nis. You and me obviously interepret things differently, no?
-
*sighhh* :(
Just so you two will quit your retarded bickering, I'll post me new wallpaper:
-
Nice icons dubb, but get you some tweakui action and take those silly shortcut arrows off them. Yucky!

And to you angry people fighting over whatever the heck you're fighting over:
HAPPY LOVE ATTACK!
<3 <3 :lol: :D <3 :rolleyes: :p <3 ^^ :) <3
Now stop being silly or I shall spam you with more idiotic smilies. Yucky, again.
-
TweakUI never worked for me. I have it right now and say 'GET RID OF ARROWS VERDAMMT' and it won't :/
-
go Bob...go Bob....Go, go, go go
aaand...it worked. Thanks, Bob. I had forgotten about this little gem :p
-
why ANYONE would put ANYTHING but MEECES on their desktop is BEYOND ME!!!! o_O o_O :blink: :blink:
-
Hey blackmage can you show me how/where/what to do to make my win2k desktop look vaguely similar to yours
-
Mah newwww desktop! Thanks Bob for explaining that stuff :D.
Yay (http://server5.uploadit.org/files/AgentOrange-bkgrnd2.jpg)
Before you gripe about the weather thing Uranium I actually use it to see how I should dress before I run to the store.
With that handy little edit desktop link it's so easy to add reorganize and remove things. Tralala! *skips along*
*edit* Jefe is now spared :D
-
for the recycle bin removal: take off the active desktop for a sec, right click on desktop -> arrange icons by -> uncheck show desktop icons
No kill Jefe?
-
Jefe, you really have to show me how to do that to my desktop,
allthough , i have win2k!
-
If you want to keep the recycle bin functionality without having the stupid icon in the way, you can drag a shortcut to your quick launch bar. It still works just the same, shows full when full and you can right click and empty it. This is so you can avoid those rare OMG I JUST BALEETED MAH PR0N moments. If you don't wany any recyc functionality, just disable it entirely and remove the icon.
If anyone is super elite and can tell me a command line string that will tell the bin to empty itself so I can put it in as a linky on the desktop, I will love them forever and ever and ever.
Edit: Ulatoh, the links are way up at the top of the thread, ask me or anyone else for specifics when you run into trouble. And I think it should still work the same with 2k, it uses pretty much the same active desktop as XP. Under 98, if someone was still using that old thing for some reason, it requires some fiddling with the code.
-

Look around page 2 of this thread, there's a link there on how to do it. Other than that it's just reorganizing, get me on IRC if you need help.
Should work just fine with win2k

Edited because apparently people do not like games.

cool, now let's see your desktop
-
Really now Chuck what the hell was the point of that? I don't think you impressed a single person, if that's what you were trying to do....
-
Uranium, again, the thread is not about impressing people.

Uranium, again, the thread is not about impressing people.
Why are you telling me, I'm not the one who covered my desktop in 'l33t emulators' and 'miscellaneous connection h4xx0r garbage' trying to show off. That's like posting a screenshot of how much harddrive space I have in this thread: it's irrelevant, and no one cares.

easy cowboy.

FFS. It's all I had before I wiped out Gentoo. You guys do NOT NEED TO FLAME ME. Flaming is FAR worse than offense I have commited. I had no intentions of showing off. That was actually my desktop. Yell at Linux, he's the one that has all of the emulators and games ported to it. Me, I'm just a gamer. And if you can't accept that, then please leave a GAMING forum. And if you look at any other dedicated Linux user's system, you'll see the much of the same. Last, do you honestly think I would have put together that shot LAST SEPTEMBER (look at gkrellm and snort tails) to show off to you pathetic fools at LM months later? Don't answer -- it's a rhetorical question.

better yet (needs admin) run gpedit.msc, find and disable 'show recycle bin' under user->admin tmplates->something
lots of fun stuff to be found in gpedit ... like stuff

Here's my desktop, clean and simple. Very relaxing, at least for me. I have a whole ton of backround pictures, but this is new, so I like it most right now. :p
-
This time i thought i'd completely edit my windows theme and made a custom colour scheme and new window borders. :)

<_< I hate pink... v_v

Only because you don't understand it...
-
i grabbed the idea from BobTheJanitor, but the folders and stuff didn't work, so i just realigned my icons.
Doesnt look to bad tbh

(edit: I also removed the "console" and the google searches because they didnt work either. I found a javascript clock online and d/l a digital font. changed the colour to red and presto!.)

Since we can't post our desktops without flamebaiting each other, thread *locked*.
