Author Topic: The Amazing 'post Your Desktop' Thread (Read 17901 times)

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

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

Nice idea. Any chance I could get a copy of that HTML?

My desktop is here : http://www.shadowness.com/wallpapers/concr...n_1280x1024.jpg

Google Deskbar > Ugly white things

And you lose 1,000 points for getting ripped off by paying for SA forums... :p

BobTheJanitor · January 18, 2004, 01:09:37 PM

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 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!

A month old or so but still roughly current:

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.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.

.NmF. Screen · January 18, 2004, 08:12:51 PM

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

Satiagraha · January 18, 2004, 08:29:12 PM

Umm.. yeah, mines kinda like nmf screen's in the way that i have it kinda crowded, i like things to be readily accessable. But at least there's no picture that its covering up :p

@gentOrange · January 18, 2004, 08:31:27 PM

Here's me. I don't like to keep much stuff on the desktop. All my games are in start menu.

RTCW is only there because it's new.

JHunz · January 18, 2004, 11:06:20 PM

I nominate www.digitalblasphemy.com for the title of a cool wallpaper site. Some of his stuff is for members only, but even the stuff in the free galleries is pretty awesome. Most of my wallpapers come from that guy.

Lightning Blue · January 19, 2004, 12:20:14 AM

Um, some wincustomize site, I'll dig it up tomorrow.

@gentOrange · January 19, 2004, 01:37:57 AM

I nominate @gentOrange as having the worst wallpaper ever. Pedophiles are less creepy then that... thing.

I also order the Janitor to clean all that old ###### off of Satiagrapha's desktop :p C'mon, Descent? Starcraft? MYST?

Starcraft? Like, do you have a replacement for it? HUH? Starcraft 2 maybe? EH? EH?? *poke with sharp stick* Do ya? Huh? Starcraft is the only rts game I was ever on the verge of liking. And that means a lot. Don't belittle it. Besides, where would we be today without Starcraft? Huh? "kekeke zerg rush ^__________________^" anyone?
