Desktop Thread Mk3

What I don't get the point of is Windows Dreamscene. Why would I want a movie playing on my desktop, taking up considerably more resources than a simple image, when I can't even see it 99% of the time?

My background for the next day or so

I change them pretty often, and this guy's work is what I've been using lately.

Another I used

Used for what?

I use software to rotate my wallpaper, but this is what I currently see on the desktop,

It's a picture of the M104 Galaxy, as photographed by Hubble and can be seen full size on NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day site here.

This is on my PDA's desktop (probably NSFW).

I actually feel really bland for having the BSG75 shield on a black background; time for a change.

(WoT fans will get the joke.) I prefer a command line to the "real" Start bar.

Nice. Where did you get that, or did you make it yourself?

Your desktops are clearly superior to this but, I'll probably end up using one of yours.

Post by **K. A. Pital** » 2008-03-19 05:52pm

For what it's worth, here I present my home desktop.

Preceding questions:
Computer interface theme: Alienware (white theme from their theme pack) + Alienware Invader Winamp and WMP skins

Wallpaper: Paolo Parente's Dust (Soviet Agent Koshka) (+ other cool ones which are cycled in Webshots)

RocketDock Icons: Amora Icons set (+1 Miranda icon from a B&W icon set)

Batman wrote:I know Stark basically hates EVERYTHING but I, too, fail to see the problem with your desktop looking nice. Yes, chances are when you're actually USING the PC for something productive you can't see it but what about the times you leave it running just in case? In case somebody shows up on AIM, in case somebody shows up in the fora you are in...
Not that I really see the problem with having a background picture you like to begin with, mind you.
Yes, maybe I'm not going to see it except in the few moments after booting.
That's a reason NOT to have a background picture I like how, exactly?

Stark lives in a bubble of cynicism that I can't even fathom. His walls are the epitome of bare and his computer is the birthplace of sanitised minimalism that Steve Jobs still aspires to this very day. There is no laughter in this little boy's life. Only the flow of tears. And if you listen very carefully, you can even hear the baby Jesus weep.

Or he may just have a shit picture collection We. May. Never. Know.

Anyway, to business!

Dun click teh link!!!1! It won't go to a bigger image. I thought I'd show you my awesome semi-naked wolfgirl ecchi background in a thumbnail smaller than a watch face.

You could have said it was NSFW before you linked it

Although my existence does feel a little validated that a member of another species is having a raging hard-on for me.

Yes it does. I would search for more of her from above and below the NC-17 line of internetz.

Also, here's my current desktop, with and without icons.

Or maybe you're just a prat. WE MAY NEVER KNOW. Quick, someone get me some totally-18yo anime softcore! The fact that I don't sit in front of my computer all day and thus don't care what my desktop looks like clearly leads to Valdy's stream of juvenilia. How sad my life is!

Either that, or the prat thing.

It's actually a very subtle gradient from "white" to "not quite white, but not quite grey either".

Im cycling through a gallery of Luis Royo pics for my background.

Stark · Post by **Stark** » 2008-03-22 05:04am

Bounty, is that just a theme or is it a different taskbar?
