Desktop thread!
Reply With Quote   #1

I figured I'd start it early. I'll edit mine in when I get home tonight.

Show off your desktop! (Try to keep it 800x600 here, or link it, I think... mods may change this)

Secondary PC (Chatbox/Download Ho) - 1024x768: http://psikotick.thesafehouse.org/chat4.PNG

Main PC (Showing Start Bar) - 1600x1200 - And ignore the "main1.PNG" in the top left corner, har: http://psikotick.thesafehouse.org/main2.PNG

Main PC (With FF open, showing more of the theme) - 1600x1200: http://psikotick.thesafehouse.org/mainff1.PNG

edit2: Forgot the safehouse server was *nix based and was case sensitive, bleh

Your links are dead....


I have that little script that changes the desktop randomly from pictures in your documents set for once a week.

This week it is http://www.geocities.com/bryansworld/Cthulhu2.jpg

Last week it was http://www.geocities.com/bryansworld/kamisama.jpg

Nocte, the style is TrT-Tech v1-1, and yar, it's Style XP. Same style in mainff1, it just shows off the way windows look (I LOVE the minimize/restore/close buttons)

The background is uh... vicious vs angel's fall...

pretty sure both are on www.themexp.org

and Soul, I fixed them (notice edit number 3)

I always love these threads. I also think this should be in main lounge, since it's really more about artistic expression than it is about hardware. Besides, not enough people read in here =P

MAC LOVER!

:)

Which weather program are you using? I kinda like it.

And what's the magnifying glass in the bottom right hand corner, never seen anything to the right of the system clock before.

edit: True on the forum, but the mods can move it, I can't... :X

I like that Ruccus. Way too bright for my tastes though. I'd prefer the black background, but it wouldn't show up right. Blah.

Bright backgrounds hurt my eyes. :\

Psiko, another quick question...

How do you get your desktop icon text to align to the right like that? Is that a stock Windows setting or is it a theme only tweak. That's something I could definitely use.

Here's mine, 1024x768. It's a pic of Big Ben that I took from Trafalgar Square. No cool tweaks or themes, sorry.

Nocte, do you mean the small icons on the right side of my start menu? The My Computer, My Network Places, My Documents, etc? It's not right aligned, it's the right side of the XP start menu with no words. That is theme specific, but I have seen other themes with it (and there are directions on how to modify any theme - including luna - to do so, I think on neowin)

I don't have any desktop icons (except for the mistaken main1.png left behind)...

edit: I actually need to change the icons I'm using on my start menu (and throughout my system) - they don't match this theme as well as they did my old one... I am sort of slacking off on it because I am getting my new PC within the month (omg, hopefully, I shall kill the IRS if not)

Doh, actually it was Tular's Desktop.

Anyone know if that icon label orientation is available through Windows? I could actually use it at work more, but I'm stuck on 2000 Professional here. :p

there's an app called DColor I think that does that, Nocte.

www.neowin.net - the forums are a fount of knowledge

I really like the black cat Lady, where'd you get it? Or did you make it?

Also, Soulstealer, which theme is that, I really like the start button graphic on it.

Btw, Lady Kaylan that Naruto WP is sweet.

I don't think that was the software... that is an icon text color enhancer. I want the text to the right of my desktop icons.

It's both, if you set your text to any color and make the background transparent, it should move the text over.

That's sick Derrict... I kinda like it.

I'll have to upload the picture I'm using as a background here at work - it's a friend of mine's little grey tabby kitten, passed out, face down in a pie tin of Friskies...
