Got the wallpaper off SA

 

[Qonfused]

Hahah, /steals Dalamari's wallpaper. Funny, funny.

 

[Icarusintel]

eh, found this on 4chan a while ago.. there's an original version that's the complete opposite, color wise, but this one looks cooler and more crisp

It is actually GIF animated.

 

[Terminas]

I like simplicity.

It is actually GIF animated.

Can ye tell me how you do that?

The only way I can get a .gif working as a wallpaper is if the gif file is actually on the desktop (and unhidden) but I like my desktop full of nothing.

Mine (reduced quality, wallpaper isn't blurred like that):

 

[NSPIRE]

the best so far

i've seen that on the CGtalk.com forums, i believe. amazing 3d work.

 

[JellyWorld]

Mine.

Its 2MB, pretty large.

Windows XP: Right-Click on desktop, Properties, Browse, Choose your GIF file, OK.

 

[Terminas]

Jelly, would you mind posting a link to that background? I like it.

i hate windows themes with the apple look when it's not full blown apple style

[$kelet0r]

nice nice
very effective

i hate windows themes with the apple look when it's not full blown apple style

why i for one don't find the apple menu bar useful plus things like objectdock consume ram like corn flakes
mine uses a mac os skin for ms explorer (which i rarely use these days anyway) and google desktop http://img409.imageshack.us/my.php?image=desktop1lz.jpg

 

[ComradeBadger]

I like my hybrid of Mac and Linux's looks and features

Uses less RAM than Explorer so

 

[$kelet0r]

but you're running explorer aren't you anyway which just adds to the slowdown - besides badger you're current setup to be blunt is quite ugly
the colours jar and it just looks bad compared to some of your old stuff
i use google desktop which uses much less ram than explorer and while it isn't terribly pretty its a beast of effiency meaning i have explorer.exe disabled most os the time

 

[Zeus]

may not be the most original or creative desktop but it gets the job done and is sorted well enough for me to use effectively

 

[Kamikazie]

so you still have bf2 installed...

Holy awesome background batman!

And heh, Icy Tower! I never would have thought I'd find someone who has played that before.

Ok, here's mine. After about half a year of the same background, I finally decided to switch it up.

Omaha

Trying to figure out how to tweak it up a bit. Make it less bland. I already added the cold blue tint, but I want to do more. Sadly, I am no photoshop expert.

i use to play that all the time in web design class

and whats up with the "recent" folders

 

[Vegeta897]

and whats up with the "recent" folders

It's where I put all the junk on my desktop. Desktop stuff being oldest, and !!!!!RECENT!!!!!RECENT!!!!! being the newest, so far. I really can't think of a more standout-ish title for the next recent folder. I thought I was stumped at !RECENTNESS!!RECENTNESS!

 

[JellyWorld]

I got my theme off http://osx.portraitofakite.com/ (it's an installer which installs all the programs you need to make your com look like a Mac, ObjectDock etc.) The desktop is from cgtalk, it's created entirely using 3dstudio max i think, except for the smoke.

 

[Terminas]

Vegeta, would you mind posting your version of that wallpaper as well? I love the look of it, with the blue and everything.

I'm using a blackbox shell - explorer doesn't run. Yeah the colours are just the theme, It's a WIP I swear ;(

Oooh, I know that wallpaper, great, isn't it?

Well, it would be a bit odd if I didn't have that wallpaper, as I have practically all HL2 wallpapers (Well, I have about 84 )

 

[Vegeta897]

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡RECENNNNT¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

or maybe

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡RECENT!!!!!!!

or even

««RECENT»»

The thing is, it has to fit on those two lines (without the "...") and still be more noticeable. I'm thinking about doing something like "New Recent 1", "New Recent 2", etc.

Terminas- Sure thing, I'll upload that blue version (along with other tweaks in brightness) I made right quick.

It's in super high res.

KDE is nice if you want plenty of eye candy. I don't care about that. It's nice... but it's not my thing.
