Post Your Desktop v.3
In the spirit of actually following through with my New Year's resolution (9 months after the fact) I am trimming some fat off my diet. I'm going to start with the old thread because it had 760 posts. Anyway, you guys know how this works so go about your business.
Those of you who are new to this here's some pointers: 0. This should go without saying, but please be courteous and don't start getting uppity and take moral offense to other people's desktops or color schemes. (This means YOU, Merv.) 1. Please don't attach your wallpapers to your post. Instead, upload them to your own personal webspace or ask a friend to do it and link it here. Imageshack, Photobucket, Imagesocket and ImageRedirect are perfectly good alternatives so use them. This way we don't take up too much server space with attachments. If we see any posts containing attachments they will be cut like the fat kid from nationball. 2. Please don't stretch the tables of the postbit. All the image hosting sites above have some kind of automatic thumbnail function readily available when you upload your images so please make wise use of those features. Posts that stretch the tables will be deleted. 3. Do not make a post updating a new desktop picture every hour. Using this thread to boost your postcount will not be tolerated. 4. ????? 5. Profit Here's my new desktop for 09/09/09: http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/9...9092009.th.png That's Pleepleus, the official mascot of the show Three Sheets with a mojito. Icons are called Arcade Daze and can be found here. |

Just installed Snow Leopard. My bowtie theme of choice has been mangled by the new version of core image, so in the meantime I'm using a plainer one. |
^ Hm, the Beatles have popped up in conversation multiple times today. And I like the look & feel of that image host -- never heard of it before.
|
Pretty new to Vista so I haven't done anything remotely interesting with the icons/desktop. I think I tried to change them once and it reverted the next day. I've gotten rid of about half the icons there since taking the pic.
Also the eyesore of a background is a bokeh that I made through some tutorial I found. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k2...9-desktop1.jpg |

Imgur's great - I've moved away from photos.cx on account of the fact that it automatically converts overly-huge png files to jpeg, which is useful for OS X screenshot conversion. Large thumbnail feature can't be faulted, either. You should edit in a mention of it in the opening post, Paco; Imageshack is a horrible horrible piece of shit in comparison. |

I don't usually go for wallpapers that are of an odd sizing but I couldn't resist this one.

That's a nice desktop. What do you use the vertical monitor setup for?
|
Well, picked up a nice little laptop at the Future Shop Boxing Day sale, and first thing I did [before even starting it up] was make a bootable USB drive with Windows 7 on it. Nuked the HDD and reformatted to get rid of all the bloatware. I have it pretty much all customized now with the stuff that I want, I think. That said... it's been a while since I've posted in here, so here:
|
After my HDD dying on me, I decided to make the jump to Windows 7.
What has changed? Nothing much. http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/914/malmback.th.jpg |
I'm currently using John Blanche's artwork for the cover of Realm of Chaos, a Warhammer Fantasy Battle add-on.

I apologize for not posting/seeing your post earlier Sosuke about my foobar layout. It's called Shuyo (DevArt link).
http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9098/65047021.th.jpg As soon as I feel like it, I'm probably going to switch over to (Kameleon) though. |
I used to use Kameleon a while back. It's a bitch to get working, but once you've got it set up it's quite nice. All of that guy's skins are pretty cool.
Thanks! |

It's been a while, figured I'd post a new one. Not too much has changed [as there's not much you can do with Windows 7 yet, I guess] but I've got a decent customization going on, and I like it.

How'd you get your taskbar looking like that? I tried installying a win7 style a few months ago but it didn't take...or something. Also gonna need that wallpaper homie.
|
I'm using the 'Thin Taskbar'. I'm using a custom style called Soft7 [found it on deviantART], basically just makes the glass a bit softer. Also swapped out the default Start Orb for the one I'm using [via explorer.exe replacement].
The icons are called Token, just change the icons BEFORE pinning them to the taskbar and they'll stick. As for the wallpaper... Here it is: ICO & Yorda Enjoy! |

Imgur is the way to go. It's like a time portal back to when Imageshack wasn't a bloated piece of shit.

First desktop on my newfound Macbook Pro. I have a lot more screen space on this computer now and lets me design properly without having to keep closing palettes. I also kept the same icons because I really like that rounded-cornered icon set. Also, as per suggestions made by some peeps, I 'll be going with the "High Energy Apple Pellet" decal for the outside decoration of the Macbook; my brother-in-law will be cutting it for me today. |

I now control every iTunes function off the cover floater on the bottom left and absolves me of having to bring up iTunes every time I want to change a track and it's far faster in searching for stuff. Basically, it's the best purchase I've made in a LONG time. Playing Eyedea & Abilities because, fuck it, they were amazing. RIP Eyedea~ |
|
Keeping it minimalistic. Cleared off my desktop and reduced the dock to the bare essentials with custom icons. The dock auto hides so most the time you are just looking at the wallpaper. And I love FLCL.

This is the desktop of the new MacBook Pro the school bought for me to use for their work. It uses Snow Leopard and is a lot faster than my MacBook. I like it a lot. <3 |
What's that icon set you're using?
|
Flurry System. There's also a set of extra icons that have similar icons for almost every app imaginable scattered around at IconFactory. They're meant to emulate the iPhone's icon set.
|
|
|
Juan, that's all kinds of awesome. It's throwing me off though, cause I look at the menu/apple bar and suddenly everything in a soft, smooth font. Is that an actual app changing your Safari, or is it just like... a userscript or something?

It's Pixelfari. A browser that renders everything in glorious 8-bit detail.

Lol nothng special. How do i trick out my macbook? Help me out pacoloco |
Get rid of the Last.fm app and get Bowtie so you can have an iTunes controller app, album artwork display and a scrobbler all in one; it's free. I can set you up with a few apps like iStat Menus so you can get rid of your entire top right menu and customize it any way you want. Also, Candybar so you can change your system icons.
PM me your Dropbox email address and I'll toss in a couple things for you over a shared folder. |

Question! Do you use a MacBook or a Pro? [Also, what do you have for a processor?] I'm looking at buying a refurb and I'm trying to weigh the different options.
|
I have a MacBook Pro 15" with an Intel Core i7, 4 GB RAM and a 500 GB HD. It's the fastest computer I've ever used and totally worth its $2k. Seriously.
|
See, I LOVE the i-series processors, but I really don't know if I can justify spending that much on a laptop again. Mine IS getting a bit old, though. Just trying to determine if spending the extra few hundred bucks on getting a Pro over the regular MB.
|
|
Yeah, I have Ubuntu 10.10 running on a partition in my old MacBook Pro 15" (Intel Core2 Duo) and the shit still runs great! I love it!

It looks like you already have a good portion of the essentials, so you're good. If I may add a couple, you should get Bowtie and iStat Menus. What version of Photoshop is that that you're using?
Additional Spam: And, since I'm here: http://i.imgur.com/WTxOVl.jpg Are you still there...? |
It's CS6.
I did a Lion clean install this morning, and things seem to run a bunch faster than they did before. Got this thing used (though she wiped it clean, it was Snow Leopard--which I then upgraded) but it's in amazing condition. I'm pretty happy with it. |
How do you like CS6? I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to CS5 yesterday after neglecting to do so for almost two years and I'm really happy with it! :D
|
CS5 is nice, I haven't REALLY noticed much different in 6. There's a few things in Photoshop that are mostly UI changes (it's black instead of white/grey) and the way Crop Tool works, for example, but other than that it's largely similar. From what I can tell anyway. I haven't used it too much yet. But I like it!
|
http://i.imgur.com/DVMq9l.jpg
Finally decided to rid of myself of the hard drives on the desktop just so I can have more space open. Also made every menubar item just be black and found a Bowtie skin I'm actually happy with. It's big and I like it that way. |
I had a really awesome, simple text-based Bowtie skin, but I lost it. :( When I upgraded to Mountain Lion I did a clean install because there was a bunch of crap/software on here from the previous owner that I wanted to ditch. I'll have to go look that up again and post up a new screenshot. :3:
[edit] Never mind, looks like I had backed it up, heh. Here's the slightly different, but mostly-the-same setup (incl Bowtie!): |

It's been a while. And I threw together a new wallpaper today, so I figured I'd might as well come and revive this thing.
Actually I ended up doing a simple edit and making a series of these things, and set the wallpaper to switch version every couple hours. It's kinda soothing. |
