The Amazing 'post Your Desktop' Thread

[Uranium - 235]

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.

So why are we fighting? I said it looks like complete and utter crap and you got offended.


And if you tell me to 'go to hell' one more time you're suspended for a week.

[Jefe]

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

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...

[Ulatoh]

Wow...just...wow.

[Uranium - 235]

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.

[Jefe]

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:

[BobTheJanitor]

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:    <3  :rolleyes:  :p  <3  ^^    <3

Now stop being silly or I shall spam you with more idiotic smilies. Yucky, again.

[Uranium - 235]

TweakUI never worked for me. I have it right now and say 'GET RID OF ARROWS VERDAMMT' and it won't :/

[Dubbilex]

go Bob...go Bob....Go, go, go go

aaand...it worked.  Thanks, Bob.  I had forgotten about this little gem :p

[Niteowl]

why ANYONE would put ANYTHING but MEECES  on their desktop is BEYOND ME!!!! o_O  o_O  :blink:  :blink:

[Ulatoh]

Hey blackmage can you show me how/where/what to do to make my win2k desktop look vaguely similar to yours

[@gentOrange]

Mah newwww desktop! Thanks Bob for explaining that stuff .

Yay

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

[Jefe]

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?

[Ulatoh]

Jefe, you really have to show me how to do that to my desktop,

allthough , i have win2k!

[BobTheJanitor]

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.

[Jefe]

Jefe, you really have to show me how to do that to my desktop,

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
