heres mine

WARNING
my desktop res is 1280x1024 so this is a big picture

Ghost, isn't BitLord a clone of BitComet? Nice Background btw.

I can give you the source wallpaper.. and my blue version I made of it if you like.

It's built from the BitComet engine. It's also the only one that works for me

my bitcomet has been slow so i tried out bit lord and its faster for some reason so i alternate between the 2

Sorry CattyKid; but it's awfully cluttered. But if that's the way you like it....rock on. I should clean my up too. But that's something for me to do on a rainy day.

I DO like LuridSpectre's theme. Not necessarily the chick; but I like the taskbar and the window colors. Lurid; where did you get it?

Here is todays background....but I change it frequently.


Full size version

Doesn't anybody use TweakUI anymore? For one thing it's a cool utility; but I like my icons "cleaned up" without the"arrows". Just my preference I guess.

HSD EDIT: we call that an image bomb.

hahaha

My desktop is pretty cluttered...it's usually alot neater than that.

21" and 19" flatscreens (Not flat panel

Uh ohh... Granulated has Torrents!!!

I've never gotten why people need so much crap on their desktop.

Like setup and .RAR files everywhere

still simple and clean.. but inspired but the livecard.net gamercard. (had to turn on web desktop though.. it's not a big deal.. this machine is more than capable of running that hog..) But it is nice to have a gamercard that doesn't make your eyes bleed or contrast too heavily..

In case you guys don't know.. even the simplest program like MS PAINT can resize those gigantic images to something more reasonable..

People keep asking me to add a filter to XS forums to prevent crazy huge pics from being displayed.. looking more and more like something I'll add..

I'm with you HSD....is it too much trouble to downsize an image? I mean really. Come on folks; we all should try to excercise a little decorum.

I post more than my fair share of huge pics.. but it's a habit I'm curbing. I figure.. even the 640 wide ones are huge in some circumstances.. but that's the compromize I'll make.. and I can always link to my huge ass ones.

Every other picture I post is well within acceptable boundaries...

I was definetly posting it full size to be a jerk.

How many opportunities am I going to have to post an image that's 3200 pixels wide? You have to capitalize!!

I'm going to have to disagree with you guys...

This is the graphics gfx sub-forum. I don't think there should be any size restrictions here.
Newbie chat sure, case-mods sure, but not here. This is were art, pics, and grafixs, are fully appreciated.

*hides in corner*

Desktop - Win XP



Laptop - Win Xp *I did the Screen Shot in Paint, so its not very sharp*

lucky for me I wear a different cap than you. The art is still art, whether it's 3200 wide or 640. But I think we're gonna have people be a bit more respectful of our forum layout. Thos bastard wide ones complete fuck the layout.. and cause us all to scroll.

I got 19 and 21 inch lcds, and I still have to scroll for some..

So it's up to the people.. people can either start being smarter about how they post.. or we can make it a hard rule and find someone to stick around and smack people around.

it takes only a few extra seconds to use an app to make a resized version.

I must take a giant screen shot in spite of HSD...





...But then cowers behind his 13" LCD screen...

That is AWESOME!! What are you running to make it look like that (for the thing at the bottom, icons on the left, computer monitor in the corner, and weather), because I'll change right now. (And was it free?)

...he's running a mac...

It LOOKS exactly like it. But he says:

Unless he's yankin' my chain...

EDIT- Photobucket and there stupid hosting...

I'll post later when I find a better one.

Followed some advice. Here is Wondows on muh Desktop (gotta click on 'em cuz HSD said so...lol):






Why was that so hard?

reading>me

nice wallpaper.

Good stuff guys, I need to change mine up

Nope its XP (thats why i said it, i thought people would think its Mac ). Nice to see someone liked it though, i get the good looks of Mac and am still able to run all my windows apps.

Running:

Mac Wallpaper (Aqua)
Windows Blinds (But you cant see that because i have no windows open, I'm running the same brushed skin as my desktop)
Icon Packer (Aqua 2 + Icons Ripped from OSX 10.3)
Object Dock
Desktop Icons Disabled along with the task bar.
And the Widdgets (Weather and the stuff in the bottom right) is Yahoos Widget engine. (used to be konfabulator)

But it wasnt free, Windows blinds and Object dock were not realy expensive. I cant even remember what i paid, i have had them ages.

widgets huh..

want to school us a bit on them.. they look slick.

i dont know about the widgets, but samurize can do all that and much more

I played with samurize a few years ago.. I was under the impression it was discontinued.

It was flaky at the time.. is it still around?

that ticket of yours in your sig.. would make for an interesting GamerCard..

Not a bad idea ill get on that

either way samurize is pretty stable, i used to frequent their forums quite often but kinda fell out. Its mostly just a community with people writing more plugins for it. Ive been using it for a couple years now and couldnt think of going back.

click for full-resolution.

ah i love that woman

EDIT: incase anyone is wondering why my last search was "dermatitis" i was having an argument with a mate about how it was spelled

she looks familiar... can't place her though..

8 simple rules or the new series of charmed

A widget is just a small app ran on the desktop (basicly just JavaScript and XML packed into one file, then launched through a java runtime engine.), it all started with Konfabulator (now the Yahoo widget engine). After Konfabulator was released, widgets were adopted to the Mac OS and then more apps were released to do the same thing on Windows.

The reason i use the Yahoo engine is that samurize crashes, a lot, and because on samurize all the widgets are ran through one engine, if one goes, they all go. But with the yahoo engine it runs multiple intances.
Its true to say that samurize can do alot and is highly customizable, but the YWE is more stable and the widgets just look much better.

i guess i never really pushed samurize, i just used HD, RAM, CPU, uptime meters, i got a window next to my desk and weather in missouri cant be predicted anyway

not much changed.. but I gave that Samurize a try again.. didn't like alot of the scripts and outdated stuff on their homepge. It's alot to go through. Started messing with the sample ini though..



.. and added what little I needed for my desktop. I was looking for a really simple RSS feed script/tool for samurize but didn't see anything I liked. If you got any recommendations for a clean Samurize 1 liner let me know.

I'll have to look at the Yahoo stuff.. seems people got alot of good to say about it.

I hate icons, and I had to remove the widget that I had for hard drive space because the 6 i had all said about 95% full.

thats sweet!

where did you get your Taskbar? just wondering


also, are you running a WindowsXP?

yeah xp, on this partition, ill post my vista and fc4 when i get around to it - but i used stylexp for this. The actual theme is lcd4[XP]-Slim-White

where would i get Different Taskbars?

That ObjectDock Program is awesome:

Click on the link ^

Hehe, I made a sig from the background, Nice and simple:

k, i dont think u understand, i need a link to a site, where i can get a different Taskbar

object dock can be fairly annoying when playing games. I used to have it on the top of my screen and in a fullscreen game i would brush the mouse by the top of the screen and it would jump back to windows

nice and simple

netdevil, what are the names of those widgets? I'm almost there...
Actually, only one with the system info.

I've found a new toy for us GFX Guys. Make your own Yahoo Widgets!!!
If I actually get time, I'll see what I can do! There is a plugin for Photoshop that lets you make them!

mac OS X Bitches!!!!!!!

i used to use themexp.org but they are charing now.

ill post it once i find the site again.

wincustomize.com or .org.. one of those.. has the taskbars etc.

btw. I blame you guys for this.. widgets..
