[#BlakhOle#]

Hey how exactly do you take pictures of the desktop? BlakhOle thy name is dumarse... :whistle:

[Blood-Pigggy]

You minimize down to your desktop, then you press the "Print Screen" button, you go into paint, paste, then save as a JPEG, and upload it to www.imageshack.us.

Okay?

[#BlakhOle#]

Not really... :blink: Wheres the print screen button?

EDIT: NO WAIT! I found it! Oh come on it sais PrtScn. I mean what the hell? Purtscen... :whistle:

[Iron_Scarecrow]

Well mine got cleaned up and changed. I don't like it, there's too much going on.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Well, you only got like 5 icons on there, so it's not like it's cluttered, but it's very vibrant :P

[Iron_Scarecrow]

Yeah, I prefer simple less detailed wallpapers. But if I changed it my brother would have a heart attack.

[Blood-Pigggy]

It's a very unusual choice for a desktop.

Why.......thank you? :)

[Blood-Pigggy]

I see you got Silent Hunters there, great game.

What is "Losers From Generals"? :P

[efthimios]

The only reason the link is on the desktop is because I forgot to delete it. I don't like game links on the desktop. (with one exception as you can see, WinSPMBT) Silent hunter 3 is a good game though I haven't played it a lot.
I played a single mission once and....well, I had to attack a large ship, a battle cruiser I think, with lots of cover from DDs (8?) and though I did not manage to hit the cruiser (the torpedoes missed for like a meter or so), I did manage to sink 4 DDs! LOL

Losers From Generals is a list of ....losers playing Generals/Zero hour online. It is not very long, because it is a new list of mine, where the older one had about 100 names, this has about 30 or so.

[Blood-Pigggy]

Why... do you have a list of losers from Generals?

[efthimios]

So that I check and if a guy is there, I don't play with him/her....

When I say losers I mean cheaters, hackers, people breaking the rules, quiters, people disconnecting than surrendering etc.
Not people who lose games LOL

[Blood-Pigggy]

Ah okay, like banlists from DoD where you get on them and you never get to play the game ever again. :angel:

Eh, what are you talking about? Please be very specific.

[Danny252]

"Printscreen" Dosen't catch the mouse normally. However, yours is shown, heirgo its either software rendered or not caught using printscreen.

[efthimios]

Cause I know zero about this, how (if) can you change it so that your mouse is not software rendered?

[Danny252]

Meh... I dunno, LOL. You've changed your mouse somehow, downloaded one or otherwise.

[Playbahnosh]

Um, Danny, That's MY screenshot you're talkin about not efthimios's :sneaky:

And yes, that's software rendered, and called CursorXP, and the screenshot was made with Hyper Snap. At first, it did show my hardware cursor on top of the software rendered one, and that looked really akward, so I decided to hide the hardware cursor so only my real, software one, is there. :)
The lady on my background is mine, so you can't have it! Get yer own imaginary girlfriend :evil: (before you say anything, no, I'm not perverted :D)
I just cleaned up my desktop so I put away all of my icons, earlier my desktop used to look stuffed but I did my best to work around the babe :D

[Danny252]

Oh.. LOL. I really must be losing it ;)
Anywho. Have I posted here or not, I wonder.. If not, I'll try to post soon. If so, my memory sucks.

[Reup]

This is the desktop at my University workstation (dual monitor):

[The Fifth Horseman]

Bp103, you get the award for most junk-filled desktop around. It's the worst case I ever saw... do you at least clean it from time to time?

Playbanosh, where did you get this background? It's beautiful!

I'll get around to posting my own desktop when I get my Windows back in order after the recent reinstallation.

I've been using the same background for over a year. Time for a change, maybe?
Anyway, I don't have too many icons in there... don't need to.

[Bobbin Threadbare]

My desktop is overly clean :P

[Grinder]

Yeah, just show us the same pic again (dual monitors), only in fullsize, so you don't have to post an extra picture, as the second monitor is empty...

Mmm... You can download it from my art thread. I didn't make a large render of it, but if you're really interested I can render it 1280x960 or so you can have a very high quality background. That has to wait till tuesday though, 'cause I don't have the .blend file on my home computer :(

Edit: only programs running are 3 firefoxes and 1 photoshop :) On the machine is everything you could wish for though: Max6,7,8, Autocad2005, ADT2005, Adobe CS2, Blender, Corel12... etc...

[win98]

Anyway back when I posted mine. I have alot of icons but have spent time sticking them in order since I have a lot of programs.

[Blood-Pigggy]

I have the barest desktop ever.
ITunes
Ventrillo, and that's about it :P

Everything is either in the Start-menu, or in Explorer.

[Reup]

From now on I'm going to change my desktop more often. I was getting pretty tired of the bbLean/bb4win shell. So I switched back to explorer.exe. And decided on the following desktop:

mm... attachments don't seem to work... upping to my domain..

It wasn't like this allways, I forced myself to clean it every day. Sorry if the picture is blurry, original resolution was 1280x1024 but I shrunk it.

does anyone know hor to get rid of the recycle bin icon on the desktop (while still keeping winXP start menu style?)

[_r.u.s.s.]

um, in the desktop properties, where you change your wallpaper, there should be a click box which says something like "custom desktop settings"

[Onyx]

allready tried that, you can't remove recycle bin :(

You can also check out all my desktop experiments on my Deviant Art (http://hennings.deviantart.com) page!
I have yet to find a matching Adium skin or make one myself - this desktop is a day old. Please comment!

[Onyx]

ehm, Grinder, we have the same number of icons on desktop (I removed Recycle bin icon and now I have only 3 icons on desktop)

+I have far less icons in my dock

and don't start with Start menu, it wouldn't be fair, you have a Mac! (or you have converted your XP desktop in Mac desktop, still you can't compare it)

man, the sillyest discussion ever, "who has less icons on desktop" :P

[Havell]

If you can find one of omg's posts in a previous "Show off your desktop" thread then you can see that he's beaten both of you. His desktop consists of a blank white wallpaper and two icons, the recycle bin and a folder entitled "stuff".

Anyway, my pride and joy:

[/b]
Good point. Although you have to realize that having few icons on your desktop does not classify it as clean. Some other attributes of a good desktop would be stylish icon sets, Messenger/Adium skins, dock or no dock, task bar or no task bar, and so on.
By the way, Onyx, your startup menu looks horrible. You should consider using the 'classical style', where there's no extra bar for the recently used stuff, but only the things you had in Win 95 etc. Also learn to use your Links correctly. When I was using windows, I had the quick start-bar loaded with my favourite apps, like I have it now in my dock. It was pretty handy, as I didn't have to open any folders and didn't have more than two icons on my desktop.
