Thrik Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 With a desktop thread, of course! This is an oppertunity for you to all show off the interfaces that you work with. The imagery that you backdrop your landscape of a workstation with. The works of wonder that adorn your computer wallpaper. Just try to use thumbnails and link to full size images if possible so we don't end up with the forums being stretched a few kilometres out of shape. 400x400 should be a reasonable maximum image size for within the thread itself. The best desktop setup gets a special prize.
scabb Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I like, Thrik. Mine's pretty uninspired at the moment. Link! (Too cool to thumbnail up)
Jake Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Ta da! Mandatory list of crap involved: That's OS X with the Milk theme with the Minium icon set, Adium for the buddy list, and Radion for the iTunes remote using a custom skin I made from parts I stole from the Milk theme, while Stattoo rounds out the cast for that info at the bottom.
Thrik Posted August 1, 2005 Author Posted August 1, 2005 Somebody else who plants the OSX dock off to the side of the screen rather than the bottom? Amazing.
Jake Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 That's where it belongs, especially on a widescreen display.
Remi Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I'd do the dock on the right too, but alas, my 12" iBook has a bit too tiny of a resolution for that to make sense. :~
Jake Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Heh and my desktop thumbnail appears in tiny minimized form in Remi's dock.
Ray Jones Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 What can I say..? I switched to another distribution and have no "new" desktop-whatever-thing yet, it's all plain KDE standard. You might not believe it, but the sketch says it all. I'll probably give Enlightenment a try, too, so some buttons and such things I outlined could possibly change ^^. Since I'm about to decide wether to switch filesystem and also still hacking on Wine (I can see the excellent Psychonauts (DEMO) loading screen, without having a pixelshader ^^, maybe I'll have my custom-themed desktop completed in .. err .. let's say another 5000 kind-of-this-one threads. Ain't that something? Having seen the draft, overwhelming anticipation surely fills your pants already.
DrMcCoy Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I'll probably give Enlightenment a try, too ...Do it! ...Anyway, my desktop (from January, but hasn't changed a bit):
scabb Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Oh man. I have two iTunes shortcuts. The shame! The embarassment! Especially since I'm winamp through and through! I also feel like an outcast, in not thumbnailing or opting for the seemingly trendy png file format. Remi, you need to post your real desktop and stop pretending to be a Mac-man.
Ray Jones Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Man, that's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayy too much iconry anyways.
Jack the Black Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Here's my desktop before I had to reformat it. Looks pretty much the same these days but the desktop isn't so filled up with funk. Since I can't figure out how to use thumbnails here's the link instead.
Joshi Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Tis fairly large so it's in thumbnail veiw, you are obligated to click the tumbnail may as well just throw in, I'm using XP (Dont' start the debate) with... some theme using StyleXP, can't remember the name of it. I made the background myself (the image on the right was made for a different reason, i just pasted it on here) and the taskbar is slightly transparent to faintly show the Neil Joshi logo at the bottom (though you can't see it because of the programs running) I'm not a fan of cluttering my desktop, as you can see, my quick-launch sorts me out for most of the things I use daily.
Alien426 Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I am the anti-Neil. I try to keep my desktop as clean as possible and end up with this: I obviously need quick access to my stuff. Third row of icons is folders with shortcuts to installed games, sorted into genres. Next row are the current demos. The toolbar "current games" is a little misleading since there are some games I started a long time ago and never got into. There you go. Probably the most boring desktop so far...
Mr Cheese Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Come on! Aren't any of you guys Monkey Island fanatics? I wanna see some good monkey island desktops! (Please ignore the fact that i have not posted any pics)
Kjølen Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 I had an MI desktop until yesterday. Then, I changed it to Elfen Lied.
mrGoodsoup Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 There is something hauntingly awesome about those Mac screenies..
Thrik Posted October 4, 2005 Author Posted October 4, 2005 Did you just use the words 'awesome' and 'Mac' in the same sentence?
mrGoodsoup Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 I am a mac user and abuser, and I stick by my story! Mac's are freaking über-awesome beyond anything any Windows crackpot can understand... ..and now for something completely different..
DrMcCoy Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Mac's are freaking über-awesome beyond anything any Windows crackpot can understand... ...which is still way below Linux...
Ray Jones Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 Which still is waay below my ****ing mental brain power thingy.. Uuuuhm,.. yeah.
