I had this walpap for some long time cause it is stylish, not cheap like the most wallpapers with a chic on it...

Here's my current desktop. :)
I pretty much have to change it every day though. I can't stand having the same wallpaper for more than 24 hours at most.
It's some kind of phobia I have. I don't know why. :lol:

That's what I'm currently running on my notebook, it's native resolution is 1920x1200. When I get home, I'll post what I'm running on my desktop. It's a bit harder to find wallpapers for my desktop though 'cause 2500x1600 resolution images are kind of hard to come by but I've built quite the collection over the years. :wink:
well heres my desktop

i just like experimental photography as they all ways make good wall papers
and the theme i am using is Windows XP Media Centre 2005, called "Royale"
can be downloaded from the Microsoft site for use on XP Pro & Home
I'm not sure if you meant to just post the wallpaper or a picture of your desktop with wallpaper so I did the latter one.

Since Lost is my favourite serie I wanted a wallpaper with that
Here is mine. I had to turn the other secondary monitor off to get the screenshot of the main one. I change my picture, depending on my mood, almost every week. Whatever inspires me, I guess.

I can't stand XP's theme.. with the blue *shudders*. Classic windows is a lot easier on the eyes, doesn't look so childish. :P
I'll show a pic of my linux desktop, too.
Not sure if I should show my desktop, it's a little big...
Edit : Aaaah what the hell, I had to resize this thing to hell and back though.

Ok, this might be a dumb question, mainly because I don't know, how do you just take a picture of your background without printing?
Ok, this might be a dumb question, mainly because I don't know, how do you just take a picture of your background without printing?
Hit the "print screen" button on your keyboard.
Open up MS paint., and press "ctrl" and "v" at the same time.
Now save the file as a jpeg and find a place to host the photo.
Hope this helps. :)

The background is from Alan Wake.

Its not finished yet.
Ive still to add some code in (in process of fixing it) that will set taskbar entries to their specific desktop.
And i will be decreasing the size of the Desktop Selection Window to 2/3rds its size and putting a volume bar under that. (maybe even descrease to two desktops, not sure yet, i mainly only use two)
Then i change all the stats so they are vertical.
Then i have to find some place to put IM windows taskbars (i want IM taskbars to show regardless what Desktop im on.)
Also i will create a scrolling System tray so its not so big, hehe.
OH, and change the horrible colour! :lol:
I made a theme ages ago that was down the left (or can switch to the right) side.
But i lost that cause my stupid hard drive broke... :(
My Linux one is basically the default KDE view with the taskbar set on small with 2 V-Desktops and the same background.
The default KDE taskbar is perfectly fine for me.
I may edit it at some point, im not too sure yet...

Why is it that Asian girls in video games (coughRigdeRacercough) always have such big eyes? Cute, I'll admit, but dayamn, A bit creepy.
Well you've pretty much just said it yourself, big eyes give a child like look which makes everything look super cute, which is why anime always tend to have big eyes, unless it's serious anime then you'll never see big eyes.
Yeh when they have these small eyes, it usually means they are evil
And great desktop btw FLCLjazz
I like the way the picture almost has placeholders for your desktop items. (im guessing that was the point?)
I done something like this awhile back, but i just tend to turn off my desktop now.

Hard to say, since it's my work computer and most of the files are stored on the server. If I had to estimate it though I would say aobut 1/4 the server space which comes to about one hundred quintillion terabytes. That estimate may be low though.

Argh you're not dual screening properly. ^^;
Make the pic 2048 keeping the aspect ratio, then crop it to 768px high, then chop it in half, one for each screen. ;)
But if you go for horizontal span (which I recommend for sweet game lovin') then you don't need to chop it in half.

07-16-2006, 16:23
um, are you saying im not taking the screenshot correctly? or i dont have my resolutions set correctly.....?
Ok first question, are you using nVIDIA or ATi?
If you're using nVIDIA then in the nView properties switch to horizontal span, then the taskbar will fill both screens and your wallpaper spreads across both as well, and on top of that you'll be able to play some games in 16:9/16:10/2:1 or higher res. :D
badz_ps3
07-17-2006, 02:14
i have an ati x800xt all in wonder.
that taskbar feature would be cool but wouldnt work for me and i wouldnt want my background to stretch across both screens. i could do that anyway with the catalyst control center im pretty sure. same with the games i really wouldnt wanna play a game with about an inch and a half of plastic seperating the screens but its really all irrelevant anyways. to make it easier to understand ill take a picture of my setup.
http://img164.imageshack.us/img164/579/p1010046rv1.th.jpg (http://img164.imageshack.us/my.php?image=p1010046rv1.jpg) http://img164.imageshack.us/img164/241/p1010050zd7.th.jpg (http://img164.imageshack.us/my.php?image=p1010050zd7.jpg)
i have my normal 17inch lcd as my primary, and then i have a 15inch lcd i modified into a projector (i put on the mgs4 trailer to give u an idea) the second picture is kinda blurry but u can see the little bump on the ceiling which is the light, then the coffee table wiht some books down in front, just to give u a reference of size.
my primary monitor is placed about 15ft or so directly back from the wall, which acts as the backdrop for my secondary "projector" display. so itd be way too cockeye'd if i tried to stretch things across both screens.
Ok in that case that's fair enough to have them separate, but wait a minute...how did you modify an LCD into a projector? That doesn't make sense.
badz_ps3
07-17-2006, 03:33
sure it does.. the only reason u see anything the LCD displays is because of the backlight. without the backlight u wouldnt see anything but a dark screen. so essentially what i did was, take out the backlight, and substitute it with an overhead projector (like the ones youve seen in school) and there u go. the light from the projector illuminates the lcd screen up into the mirror which then projects the image out onto the wall/projector screen/whatever youd like

I call best wallpaper.
If you dont like Goldfrapp, you got issues.
And RR, nice wallpaper :D
Argh you're not dual screening properly. ^^;
Make the pic 2048 keeping the aspect ratio, then crop it to 768px high, then chop it in half, one for each screen. ;)
But if you go for horizontal span (which I recommend for sweet game lovin') then you don't need to chop it in half.
I know it does, but multitasking on two monitors, plus doing rendering, and WAY more doesn't really touch 2GB RAM. Razz What are you running on, Varsh, if you don't mind me asking? I used to work on a dual monitored 3.2Ghz Pentium D (Oc'd to 3.8Ghz) with 6800 Ultra GPU workstation and 2GB of RAM also. Man, that thing was slllloooooow. Nothing can touch my Windows 3.1 on a 486 :lol:!
A64 3500+, Corsair 2GB (4x512MB) TwinX Dual Channel, BFG 7800 GT, Dual BenQ FP937s monitors (2560x1024@76Hz), 1.5TB of SATA HDDS RAID 0 (4 HDDs), running the Vista Transformation Pack as well as killed pointless services, removed half of the Windows crap, optimise and keep the directories clean, run loads of apps at once and have transparency running. Not a problem. :D
It's mucho fun when I can render and play UT2k4 at the same time! Albeit in a window, then again I only play the game in a window so that doesn't really count. :P Bah, my ex-workstation would own yours when it comes to rendering :D. Pentium D 3.8Ghz baby.... Feel the rapage XD. Too bad the GPU wasn't top of the line, meh. At least it can play FEAR at all maxed out settings on a reasonable resolution (1024x786, I believe). Of course, I didn't play any game while I was working... Duh, who would do that, eh :lol:? I have no idea what model DELL monitor it had, but it was 19 inch for all I knew and cared.
BTW, is that comp yours? If it is, how much did it cost?

Yeah granted it's only my CPU that is lacking severely, but in terms of rendering you want RAM more than FPU performance. ;)
Well as for the cost, I really don't know, I upgrade some parts of the computer regularly and some parts not at all, though if I put all of the money together that's currently in there I'm sure it would be about £2000, though now I could probably put it together for about £1400, the most expensive parts was the PSU, the RAM (£400 alone for this!), and CPU (£280 at the time). I've had the CPU for almost 2 years now so it's done me well and I can still play games with max settings at 2560x1024 res.

Here's mine using some Vista-like GUI stuff along with a pretty sweet HL2 wallpaper.
I don't know what to say Ridge Racer, except that girl is really hot...
http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/5314/vistasswe4.png
Just wondering, where did you get that Vista GUI? I'm using something similar (but not as cool).
@ Ridge Racer: If I didn't know any better (which in this case, I do), I'd swear that I know someone who looks exactly like that chick.
Here's my desktop BTW:

That's the Vista Transformation Pack 4 by Windows X, you can get that here (http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8405). Just remember to read the instructions CAREFULLY, also if you don't have WindowsBlinds then install Glass2k.
Some people say it's "crap", ignore them they're just idiots, this pack is stunning!

I've had the CPU for almost 2 years now so it's done me well and I can still play games with max settings at 2560x1024 res. Of course ;). The thing is, that machine was also maxed out at 2GB of RAM (4x512 Kingston RAM--at least I "think" it was Kingston; yeah I know, it was crap, but hey, it wasn't mine). I'm not sure if it was able to support up to 4GB of RAM, hmm...
Too bad the RAM was severely underclocked to accomodate the overclocked CPU.
My own PC is semi-decent. It runs FEAR at the 640x480 resolution fine with medium effects (averaging 39FPS), so I'm happy--for now :lol:.
I also picked out a new wallpaper for my PC. I had a tough time deciding between this:
This (http://www.animepaper.net/read/wallpapers/32456/e79eb54aaad7a5b3723e82ebaa4ec933/na/%5BAnimePaper%5Dwallpapers_Ergo-Proxy_ChaosKaizer_32456.jpg)
or
This. (http://www.animepaper.net/read/wallpapers/8104/e0717356b0a6aea522fe063877f29624/na/%5BAnimePaper%5Dwallpapers_Yoshitaka-Amano_Shadow_Dude_8104.jpg)
In the end, I decided to go with the Ergo Proxy wallpaper, darker, easier on the eyes, and it's simply not "busy", unlike the TimeBreak wallpaper. Too bad, though; I really like the TimeBreak one.
F.E.A.R. with low graphics? You poor thing... :(
F.E.A.R. with low graphics? You poor thing... :( Varsh, what the hell? I thought I was the only Penguin Owl around here :shock:. You're stalking around the forums at this hour, too :!: :?:
As for FEAR on low setting, it's more like medium-low. Besides, I'm not that big of a gamer... The most I play is a game or two of Warcraft 3 a week, and even then, that's stretching it. I have yet to complete FEAR, either.
I needed something dark to go with the theme...

*dies of the shock horror treatment*
I suppose if you rarely play games that's fine having integrated graphics, but now I know why you play F.E.A.R. at low graphics, the game just doesn't have the same effect than having full blown graphics... :(

Besides, is there really any difference? I think the graphics still looks quite good at my medium-low settings :P.
I'm looking into picking up a X700 or an X800 soon.
Well when I was playing it on my FX5950 Ultra at Medium to high settings it looked beautiful, ran like a dream and more, till I saw what the game should look like on my flatmate's machine downstairs, it looked COMPLETElY different, more atmosphere, and a hell of a lot more eerie.
Let me put it this way, you remember that corridor along the tunnel where Anna runs across from behind the crate and you get a heartbeat sound? Wasn't scary was it? Now put it on a high end machine and you barely see her at all and does give you the willies.

Oh really...*hints a lot*
WMP 11 is nice, very nice, but I'd still rather go for other media players, true it has the better side of sorting music, but it doesn't sort music on the HDD, which is kind of annoying as I have so much music, and iTunes (as much as I hate it) does this all for me.

This is wallpaper. Notice I only linked the one to the site, not my comuter desktop.
Well that was stupid. If it was your desktop it would have programs all over it. :D
Nice relaxing wallpaper, not so cluttered desktop. The way I like it.

Jeez that really does look like paradise. Where did you find that image. I would scrounge the net but all the Wallpaper websites try to make you signup for a service or pornography.

@ rbrtchng: Nice image
Here's mine. I can't take total credit for it either. I got the background from deviantart.com and I edited the PS button in with Photoshop. The image is 1920x1200 and I'm running Window Blinds for the transparent taskbar. :mrgreen:

I found the PSP background on google, so i used it. I like to keep things simple, so i dont have many shortcuts.
Also, in the top right of the screen, there is the PS3 countdown timer, with 80% opacity. PM me if you want it.
Don't you mean top right?
13th_Shell, nice background. I've got that theme aswell.
Yes, i meant right. Some people are so picky :p

What is Windows Blinds? And is it free?
Windowblinds is a piece of software which allows you to use themes made by you or other people. Personally i hate it, and would advise you to steer clear.
The basic, slower version is free, but the premium version is "free" too.

When i see Jolie i always think
"**** me shes hot!"
Shame about her Tattoos though...
No, the real shame is that shes with Bradd Pit. He should have stayed with Jennifer and left Angelina to me :D
Don't worry though, we always know how long these last. :p
