SkinWalker Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 Okay... some cool desktops getting posted in the Desktop Thread, but how 'bout a contest? Here are the rules: 1) Wallpaper art must be original (or at least not something you can download from a themes site, etc.) 2) Post as many Desktop Screenshots as you like, but make separate posts... (dunno why, but the contest on the back of my cereal box says I can enter as often as I like, but have to send in separate entries ) 3) All posts have to be made before Saturday, Nov. 2, 2002 at 2400 hours (12 midnight) GMT. If you live in a CST locality, like Oklahoma, USA, subtract 6 hours. 4) On Sunday we all vote, but only on someone else's work. You don't have to post a ScreenShot to be eligible to vote. 5) To keep it simple, we simply vote for the best all around Desktop, but give credit to Humor, Originality, Technical Proficiency, and Icon Content (subtact points for having AOL on desktop? .... just kidding). 6) Sunday, Nov. 3, 2002 will be the deadline for votes (2400 hours GMT). Simply make a post and say "SkinWalker gets my vote!" and maybe say what you liked most. Good luck! Have fun! SkinWalker *Runs off to open Photoshop!

SkinWalker Posted October 27, 2002 Author Share Posted October 27, 2002 I made the Wallpaper entirely in Photoshop by first using a middle to wide sized paint brush to create some random strokes of the colors. I then put it through several filters to get the molten effect. If anyone wants a copy, I'd be happy to send it to them. Just PM with an email addy. I'm also using custom icons and descriptions for My Computer, Network Places and Recycle Bin and Window Blinds to give my Win2k desktop an XP look.

SkinWalker Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 skinwalker, wher do you get those cool icons? mine are so boring! Man,.... I forgot. I was bored with mine, so I did a Google search for "replacement icons" or something like that. Try it. You'll find something, I'm sure.

Rogue15 Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 available to use now. (didn't feel like posting a screen of it on my desktop cause i'd have to upload it, and that takes my patience.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 as you can tell, it's from everyone's favorite game, Force Commander. I took it while I was headed to the rebel base..unfortunately only like 2 of those units survived the assault, but i was able to bring in some bigger backup. :atat: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJackal Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Here are my 3 entries for my WindowsXP system. Afterwards I'll also release 3 others on my MAC system. Every single wallpaper you see is made by me. I can give you proof if you do not believe me. (these are links due to resolution size (1280x960) and big file size) entry #1-xp: http://members.rogers.com/comradcanuck/blueaura_windows.jpg entry #2-xp: http://members.rogers.com/comradcanuck/dustywaves_windows.jpg entry #3-xp: http://members.rogers.com/comradcanuck/flareburst002_windows.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clem Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 id love to look jackal .... but they too big ... take too long fancy posting smaller versions ... maybe shrink them to 800x600? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJackal Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Hehe, then you wont like my Mac wallpapers. They are a bit bigger. I'll post the original sizes and leave it at that because making them smaller takes the beauty away in my opinion. However, if more people want me to reduce the size I will do it for you guys and gals. Here are my Mac wallpapers as promised.
