Your desktop

In Off-topic

I saw such a thread on other forums and thought it might fit here, too.
How does your PC's desktop look like?

I'll start with mine.



Cute, isn't it?

I like to keep mine simple
.

Is there an NES theme for windows? That would be neat.
Instead of "Start ", then the generic NES color scheme. And my screen saver would be the blinking effect.

That'd be nice indeed.
Does anybody know about such a thing? I'd be interested, but never heard about.

nice, I was looking for a thread like this to show off my new wallpaper



disregard all the apps that are running, my machine is always busy...

Your Karnov obsession knows no bounds!

I usually have a photo as my background. When I get bored with it I swap it. Nice and simple.

Yikes!!!

Karnov everywhere! And more than one!

I wonder what Roth will show us.



Sweet!

Mine isn't quite so cool to have Karnov on it. I have the ending to Bayou Billy instead... see?



I need to change it out soon... it's been awhile!

Neat and tidy... very tidy... too tidy??
Do you really use that desktop for studying?

Here's my winter desktop I had before I switched to the cats posted up there. My wife wanted it because of the cute penguins.


I usually change my wallpapers from time to time.



These are all old, but you get the idea.





This was my laptop when I had Litestep on it:


Here's my computer area:


Awesome man. I liked the ring 2 one.. can't wait for that movie to come out!

I bet the Japanese version of Ring 2 is better.

What resolution do you use on your PC?

1280x1024. It's as high as my monitor will go, but I plan on a new monitor in the near future anyway. I'd like to run at 1600x1200. My laptop is widescreen and runs at 1280x768.

And no, Ringu 2 was AWFUL. The American Ring Two is being directed by the Japanese director, anyway.

I said "better" than the US version. I didn't say it's good actually.
It's not too bad, but I liked 1 more.

I'm now trying to get "Ju-On The Grudge" in both Japanese and US remake version. I wonder how that is.

Ha! That computer area cracks me up every time I see it, ZHX! Man, I wish I could build stuff!



What kind of media player is that on there? It looks pretty cool!

Isn't that winamp with a NES skin?
If so, could you please tell me where to get that skin?
I'd love to have it!

Thank you very much!
That's so cool, man.
I love it.

This is mine for now.


^ hahahaha


Anyway, there are couple of computer areas posted on this thread, so I thought I'd post mine.




EDIT: After posting this, I realized that I still hadn't changed my wallpaper. So, I went ahead and did that. Here's what I have on it right now.


Wy wife changed the wallpaper to this one.


Mine is :

I like to keep mine simple too, it is windows XP default. I guess most of you l know how it looks like.

Mine is :


Who is the girl?


Who is the girl?

That looks like Kirsten Dunst to me.

She's graced my wallpaper a few times as well

Mine's a screenshot of Stealth (I'd get a pic up, but it looks awful when minimized). Furthermore, my screensaver is Asteroids Deluxe, which comes with the Atari Arcade Hits game.


Who is the girl?

That looks like Kirsten Dunst to me

Yeah, she is Kirsten Dunst.

...

Yes, I do have her on my laptop.

My current desktop:


Heres mine:




Mine is a cool picture of my friend:


Changed it again.


mine is action packed

Yea, I use duelies, thats how I roll. If you have any questions about the programs I'm using, feel free to ask.

My new wallpaper:

That's a nice wallpaper, Star-Tropics.

Here's my new one. Wy wife changes is from time to time.


Well, here's my new desktop... Yeah, we put that orange shirt on Jeremiah alot


Nice.

I also changed again.


Roth, your boy is so damn cute!
Is he in Ninja Turtle fighting mode in the pic?

Thanks! And about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mode, as a matter of fact, yes!

I need to find an old pic of my father. What makes this picture of Jeremiah so cool, is the fact that when my father was twenty-something, he took a picture EXACTLY like that. If I remember right, the stance is just about exact. He looks like him in the face as well. I thought that was the coolest thing ever... I must find that pic!



Edit by NES-Luke: image fixed, rehosted, and linked properly.

Possibly too racy for some of the younger people here :


hahahahaha!! No

It's just some hottie.

Possibly too racy for some of the younger people here :


Not racy enough, im afraid. Just move your arm a little..position your legs differently... there we go


^^^^^^^OneGenerationTooLate we both have Mario Forever kinda funny
Any way heres mine

Ive been meaning to delete it, its basically just a super mario all starts close with a few different sounds and lame levels

^^^^^^^OneGenerationTooLate we both have Mario Forever kinda funny
Any way heres mine


That's a lot of items you have on your desktop.


Yea all my friends say that. I actually use almost all of them.

How do I take a picture of my Desktop?

Press Printscreen, then open an imaging program and paste it into it.



Got it from Mario v/s DK

too much work, maybe later i will post it.

how the hell did you get your taskbar pink!?

You can change the design by right-clicking on your desktop and then on "design" in window. That's for WinXP. Peace of cake.

Bitchin....

Time to post my desktop again.


Ain't that cute?



i used paint so i could post it here.... man, BMWs sure are nice cars

Haha, Those are pretty damn nice clothes she has on there.



yeah, she had to dress accordingly. i mean there is snow on the ground

Hmm.. if you look at her shadow on the car, her clothes seem.. different... hmm..



what are you trying to say


Thats my desktop while i was in the process of downloading 300 megabytes of Not-entirely-legal Music from

Might as well show you guys the coolness of my desktop.

here is mine,



took it right before the icons showed up, hard work. My PC is fast.

Might as well show you guys the coolness of my desktop.

Them G5's make me shiver.

Why does almost everyone have so many files on their desktop ur ruining the pictures.
Well here's mine (made it myself 2)

You a pedifile? Looks like a freaking 10 year old...

Watch your mouth boy. It's Christina Ricci. Spect



She's the most beautiful woman alive.



Nah, she's not 10, she just DESPERATELY needs a sammich... anorexia is a bad thing.



She's the most beautiful woman alive.

But how can she be the most beautiful woman alive when everyone knows Gwen Stafani is the most beautiful woman alive?

Gwen Stefani is pretty hot, it's too bad my boobs are bigger than hers



She's the most beautiful woman alive.

But how can she be the most beautiful woman alive when everyone knows Gwen Stafani is the most beautiful woman alive?

Posh! Tosh! Piffle! We all know the "iron lady" Maggie Thatcher is HOT!



That's mine. (But without the desktop icons) The cast of Seinfeld. gotta love Kramer. My computer knowledge is poor, so I just linked to the pic on the site I got it from.



the key "Print Scrn/SysRq" (to the right of F12) is the button you push. it'll take a screen shot. then open up paint (or whatever image program you use) and paste it. save, upload, and there you go

how do i post the picture here, it will not let me paste it.

ARRGHH.

TAKE A PICTURE FROM YUR COMPUTER
GO TO
SELECT "BROWSE"
fIND THAT PICTURE
COPY THE "HOTLINK FOR FORUM 1" OR TUMBNAIL
PASTE THE URL IN YOUR POST
PRESS "SUBMIT"

Here's my Desktop...


Well you've seen it now. I only have four icons- Firefox, My Computer, Recycle Bin and My Documents



boy, that sure is an interesting carpet pattern



it's the position she's in


Because, Keith Emerson Owns.



She's the most beautiful woman alive.

But how can she be the most beautiful woman alive when everyone knows Gwen Stafani is the most beautiful woman alive?

Gwen is all make up, no T no A. Sorry

Christina Ricci is beautiful. In Buffalo 66 she was amazing



Nah, she's not 10, she just DESPERATELY needs a sammich... anorexia is a bad thing.

A sammich? She needs a Subway smorgasbord for crying out loud

Here is my Desktop... its kinda small i need a site that will let me upload more than 525 kb at a time..... but anyways look close at the start button and taskbar.








Had to do some cleaning up on my desktop..... I'm kind of a neat freak.
This might work better:





Ahh god.. Seeing all of my beautiful wide screen screenshots with my beautiful files and programs so far away Heres a picture of this f*cking peice of shit's desktop.
HR Pufnstuf! Who's your friend when things get rough? HR Pufnstuf!



Tron rules. Admit it.

i can't decide between

both are extremely sweet to the max. which one do i use?!??!



both are extremely sweet to the max. which one do i use?!??!

The first one, fo' sho'



thanks! that's my new desktop



thanks! that's my new desktop

Thanks! that will be my new desktop.



thanks! that's my new desktop

Thanks! that will be my new desktop.

hahaha, sweet! we should all make that our desktop....

I love my desktop


too bad that album wasn't as good as the cover art . Frankenstein Girls is their best.

You think?? I thought the new album rocked! Shut Me Up, Wack and Brooklyn Hype had me beboping around for days.

Frankenstine Girls was a kick ass album but I think the new one is better.

it had a few good songs, but over all i didn't think it was too great.

Ehh I think it's one of those albums that kinda grow on you.. Kinda like Mechanical Animals by Marilyn Manson. What's your favorite track off the first album? I'd have to say mine would be Golden Eye or Kill The Rock.

Bitches, Planet of the Apes, and Seven-Eleven. i haven't listened to MSI in awhile. i'll have to pop the cd in tomorrow and listen to it again

Here's a sweet wallpaper

Here it is if anybody wants it

just seeing that makes me wanna play Majoras Mask.

Here is mine......


A member of another forum posted this image that he took from the front of his house in BC, and I just thought it pwned to extreme extents.

Think I have enough windows open?

Changed to a new desktop yesterday.

As much as it pained me to change my desktop, I finally did. I was looking for the desktop I used at the college, and was able to find it after searching a few sites:


Although it was an April Fool's joke, I kind of liked the idea of a Bob Ross game.
That's because I made it my new background. At least for the following days.


I remember watching him on PBS when I was little . Heres my current wallpaper with my icons cleaned up:

That's a badass wallpaper... in the truest meaning of the word...

Here's my Ubuntu desktop:



The windows desktop hasnt changed since Samus.

That is awesome Roth! I have been messing around with new OS's and I cant seem to get Ubuntu to work. I just found out some new and exciting info about my system that may help, so I will be giving Ubuntu another shot.

It's not the best camera in the world, so everything's kind of blurry, but here 'tis:
(Deleted for my being such a nickel-plated retard; it was a picture of Morrigan Aensland, so the conversation below makes sense).
Didn't know how to save computer screenshots then, as evidenced below.

Pft. Get the Winglie offa there and make with the Lord Raptor.

Sorry, even though Lord Raptor's guitar/La Malta is cool, I need to have eye candy on my desktop, at all times.



Camera!?

Dude, press Print Screen on the keyboard, and then paste the image into MS Paint, or some other photo editing software...

Now I feel OGTL was entirely justified in calling me a nOOb. I tend to forget that "print screen" button is even there.
Even when I've used it so many times for websites with images that aren't "right-clickable save as.."
Ugh. I'm a dork.

One must understand that even if one is pro, under certain circumstances, one can still be a n00b.


Well said. I think that's the epitaph I'll have chiseled on my gravestone.







Or you can always just view the source and steal images and things anyway I hate sites that try to prevent me from stealing their content, as you can probably tell.

I change mine once every couple weeks. If you're wonder why this one, I used to have a girlfriend that could have been Riona they looked so much alike!

Yeah, I know what you mean. Some of the pop-ups are amusing when you try it, but Flash images just give you that stupid "Zoom" screen or whatever it is.
As for Firefox and all its beauty, I'm still waiting on an extra HD so I can download it. As it is, I had to remove my printer/scanner because it was sucking all the memory.

I change mine once every couple weeks. If you're wonder why this one, I used to have a girlfriend that could have been Riona they looked so much alike!




That's really a beautiful picture and worthy of a desktop wallpaper.

And why don't you have that girlfriend anymore?

She cheated on me...

Ouch.

wow... I'm probably the only one here who'se computer desktop hasnt a single Icon. As for my laptop, I got plenty for the convenience of others.

Here's my other compy:notice how late it is when I took that pic?


Here's my new one.
It's a photo from the Pig-olympics.


Cute wet piggies..
Here's my not-so-"camera" one, thank-you for the help, Luke.

--I change mine every couple of weeks, too. I hardly ever see the desktop anymore, though, since it's usually playing video games.


There's one I whipped up in paint this afternoon

ToddVania I swear man you must really love that girl lol.


Yes, indeed. The PS2 is way overdue for a new Darkstalkers game. Of course, there's the collection for PSP and the PS2 (this one in Japan only), but it's all three of the games we've already seen.
Oh, and nice one, OGTL...what is that "Alcohol 120" shortcut?!





It's a CD/DVD burning program designed to deal with disc images. It can burn just about any image file format you'll ever find.

My Desktop:



Alright I am wondering how do I hide my icons on my desktop so there is no icons on there?

Click and drag 'em into the Steamin' Ol' Shit Pile, AKA the Recycle Bin. Everything Windows puts on the desktop is usually in the Start Menu anyway.
Nice Megaman-ness, BTW.

Ok, this is my awesome one. I just spent a whole 5 minutes getting a PhotoBucket account, then using it, so I could put this here.

That little guy on there is Sauron, from the Lord of the Rings. He stars in the "One Ring to Rule them All" series by LegendaryFrog. Those are some of my favorite flash movies, so naturally I wanted that desktop. I usually change my background about every 1 1/2 months or so. I find my taste in naming icons eerily similar to ToddVania's. And there's even copyright information in the corner!

On my next change, expect a post. I'm thinking I'll do something 8-Bit next month...


Right click desktop, Arrange Icons By > Uncheck Show Desktop Icons

here is mine

Nice one! All you lucky XP users...
Yeah, I love re-naming those things. I'll even go into the registry and give items a new monniker so they'll show up almost everywhere in the computer with my special name.
I'd post a new one as well, but at the moment, it's a even more XXX than my last one !

Screw XP, I use 98!
I may switch to 2000 but I am not sure. Hey Todd is your new wallpaper a Hentai version of that Video Game girl you like so much?

I'm with you on XP for the Internet as I don't like the amount of $$ to buy it, and the fact that it constantly updates itself without your say-so, but it was nice to have on my laptop that never touches the Internet, until it fried....
No, the desktop now has a wallpaper of one of my favorite models nowadays, She's all the rage over at NES ROMNation.



Turn off automatic updates?


Right click desktop, Arrange Icons By > Uncheck Show Desktop Icons

here is mine


I tired that and it hid my background along with the icons! Must be because I have XP...

Here's mine:



Yes, I am obsessed with Homestar Runner!

I used to be too, back when they updated more than twice a year, and it was funny.

I dont know, mine stays and just removes icons using xp

Yeah... maybe it's because I just used "Set as desktop background" right from the internet instead of saving the picture on to my computer. Acually, I kind of like having the icons there; it's more personal. Sorta.

Here's my current Desktop


Here's my current one that I made with Winamp:

I almost forgot about this thread. Recently I blessed my computer with the goodnesses of Keyra Augustina, but now I'm changed back to the Desktop of POWer whilst I dream up something on Fireworks.

Here's my Halloween theme Desktop:

What's the deal with the IE icon on the desktop? Shouldn't that not-be-there?

click it to enlarge



It won't be, once I actually d/l Firefox. It's my deep-seated desire to suckle at the bosom of Firefox that I re-named it; NES ROMs have been the d/l priority lately .

Link is the man!!!


14th Patriot, your other desktop was hotter ;)

Right now I have it back on my Ashtar desktop from Ninja Gaiden II. Not sure what my next one will be.



Cute! It reminds me of our cat, Runtykins. He sticks out his tongue just like that.

I like all of those; Vermillion, where are the icons?!



that's just the image he used for his background



Cute! It reminds me of our cat, Runtykins. He sticks out his tongue just like that.

The cat is from the anime "Bleach", which I highly recommend to everybody.

my desktop...

Sophitia Kicks ASS!

Pretty cool Wallpaper, eh?





I keep my screen at 1280 x 1024, so the pictures didn't turn out to good.

This is SOOO worth a double post.

Here is my desktop:





If you notice it looks like you are looking at things from the center of a circle. Well, you are! You can also move the entire "sphere" around placing things here and there (see wireframe globe in bottom right corner). This is awesome! Perfect if you like to multi-task and always feel like your running out of room on your desktop.

I got it in torrent form, but the program is called "SphereXP". This IS definatly worth checking out!!!

EDIT: I just noticed when you quit the program, it doesn't affect your "normal" desktop (as far as it doesn't change your icon arrangement or background). Your "sphere" and the other are entirely different.

I like my new wallpaper:

Cool program. That's pretty much how the new OS for Mac's works (Floating windows). I'll have to check this out.

I like my new wallpaper:




Nice wallpaper. That view is really cool.

Might I ask where you got this wallpaper Aaron? I'd kinda like it for myself

Wow, That is a totally kickass wallpaper, do you mind PMing me that picture in 1024x768 view for... educational purposes?

I can't seem to find the Wallpaper right now, but I am still looking around for it. If I find it agine I will post it ASAP.

New Wallpaper(I did not make this one), DeskTop Style. Please do share your comments.






TEH LOLZ.. EMO


You took those words out of my... Ehm... Hands...

Now that's more like it, Aaron.

A shot I took on sunday morning.




I like my new wallpaper:




Nice wallpaper. That view is really cool.

thats sick, he has that one site minimized!



I don't know why I get such crappy resolutions... My screen is at 1280x1024 But the picture converts to 600x480.
