What's that thing in the sky in that picture? Looks like a Discord missile :eek:

hmmm which city could look better than paris ? maybe istanbul ...imo, if any.

[Kantham]

Still go back and forth at those 2. I still prefer my home-made NYC WP. :gonk:

I've got a few various desktops to show off today :D

First, I got a new 25" Hannspree 1080p monitor. It's hooked up to my desktop, running Ubuntu 9.04:

I love this monitor. The quality and sharpness is just amazing.

And here's a few things I've been playing around with. Virtualbox FTW:

[Firefly]

^ What custom theme are you using?

The main theme
GUI.Relax (http://b0se.deviantart.com/art/GUI-Relax-45441528)

The original wallpaper (http://utunlimited.beyondunreal.com/Desktop%20Background.bmp)
Can't remember where I got it from but probably here (http://thewallpaperhunter.com/) or here
(http://thewallpaperhunter.com/)
To get the icon only task bar you'll need to run this hack (http://utunlimited.beyondunreal.com/Iconized%20Taskbar%20Hack.rar).
very simple and no problems for me

nice wall mad :)

Ironic because I just realized a few days ago how I had zero wallpapers related to audio and began searching.

[M.A.D.X.W]

The original pictures are here. (http://www.cgtextures.com/texview.php?id=20737&PHPSESSID=e783cbbcba1696e55f2fc220cbb2a07c) Some of the pictures are massive :-)

An old look with an even older background.. I really should get a new one. :lol:

Thanks anyways, I'll stretch and sharpen yours or just register.

I've gone back to using the "Windows Classic" theme for some reason. Using Windows7's wallpaper slideshow feature which changes my wallpaper every few hours (collection of various photos of my own and ones I've found online).

I'm not sure if I'm meant to, but I just find that background a bit hilarious. :lol:

[Jacks:SmirkingRevenge]

I think it's awesome.

do you have it in a higher resolution?
800x518 is hardly gonna' work on a desktop.

click for it's full 1080p goodness, if you must. not very exciting though, don't use the desktop much, as can be guessed by the lack of icons on it.

That's beautifull! I'm going to end up spending weeks trying to reproduce colours like that on my camera now. :(

I think this is probably my best desktop setup yet.

Is it Vista with Stardock mods?

[Sine Deviance]

Is it Vista with Stardock mods?

Nah, it's XP. I'm not using anything by Stardock. I'm using RocketDock with a custom skin, a custom visual style, some custom icons (I used reshacker. I despise IconPackager and it's many flaws), YzShadow, Transbar, and the wallpaper came from InterfaceLIFT.

[Jacks:SmirkingRevenge]

mmmm, I haven't done anything to make my Windows 7 interface look very fancy yet and it's only loaded on my school/work computer. so this is just from my gaming machine which remains on XP.

http://i33.tinypic.com/2le5635.jpg

the desktop is an ingame screen of Assassin's Creed taken like the first day I ever played it. it's still one of my favorite screenshots of all time.

Windows 7!
At the moment I'm using a loser wallpaper. But it's only temporarily.

With awesomely small title bar :-)

Windows 7 would be a cool person :crysmile:

[Jacks:SmirkingRevenge]

Windows 7 would be a cool person
if I put on a Windows 7 costume for Halloween, would you have sex with me?

pretend I have ball bearing and pinion joints which require WD40 to loosen up, and this counts as foreplay.

Pidgin has a built in IRC client btw. So no reason to run a seperate app if you are running Pidgin anyways.
I suggest using the IRC helper and IRC plus plugins from the official pluginpack too if you want stuff like automated auth at connection.

[Juggalo Kyle]

Still using build 7100 of Windows 7. Still love it.

I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 last night. I also got around to getting my .conkyrc setup to match everything else.
