[Kray]

Ahh, very nice Kray. I see you and I both find Kyla Cole rather attractive.

Oh yes, she certainly is...thanks to you and your Beautiful Face thread. :D

Oh and Sparky, I have more revealing photos of your "mum". You don't mind do you? :D

[El Diablo]

Isn't she? Kyla's my fave followed closely by Heather Hanson and Jesse Capelli.

But in that sense then, Sparky, I also have over 60 revealing photos of your mum as well :D

[Sparky]

Sounds like my mum gets around.

You sure as hell can do it... unfortunately, the product is shareware, and you have to pay to use it after 30 days. Anyway, it's a replacement shell called Aston Shell (http://www.astonshell.com), and it's up to version 1.8.2. The website has a ton load of new themes, icons and other stuff, so it's worth checking out. Much faster than old Explorer, too.

Yep, I had my own sticky-note page attached before I found a proffesional one that saved the notes, unlike the form I was using ;)

[Parser]

did you guys know that you can make the background an html file in Win98 and up?

Using active desktop? Yes, I experimented with that, but it was too much hassle, and it consumed too much in the way of resources anyway.

[Zxanphorian]

i personally don't do that because of resources too. But having a desktop of just html would be cool!

[Swarthy_Foreskin]

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/hugh.mcguire/desk.jpg

[Beowolf]

Digital is that real? I wouldn't think jets would fly that close to the water.

[El Diablo]

It's not real, its a drawing. I guess a jet would fly that low if absolutley nescessary.

[Thrawn70]

How bout the name hidden in the waves slightly right of directly below the jet?


EDIT: Ok, maybe that's the photographer's signature...

[Iron Archer]

nah it's good art, but you can still tell. 'Same artist did a similar pic of a low-flying B-1B if I'm not mistaken.

[DarkAssassin289]

Well here's mine

[El Diablo]

:lol:

You gotta be kidding, it's obviously drawn, it's very good but you can tell it's not real. Signature in the waves, look closley and details are blurred slightly, small things that are far away from perspective arent as sharp as they'd be in a photo.

[Warm Pudgy]

id say the something even bigger than the waves it the way the water shoots up in the air, i have seen an f-14 fly approx 20 feet off the water, and the water shoots outwards in a circular shape, not straight up in the air

[El Diablo]

Well there ya go!

[DarkAssassin289]

ok, first, it is a painting, most likely one commissioned by the military. But here is how to tell besides the obvious signature....that is a tomcat at supersonic. A Tomcat at supersonic lifting those waves would not be seen EVER...why? because they arent designed to fly that close to water, second, even if it were, the angle of the camera would mean the photographer was killed shortly thereafter since the force of the afterburners at supersonic speeds would tear him apart or the waves being rooster tailed would do him in.

Gnome 2 with a Mac OSX theme and standard icons (that I can be assed changing) and Windows 2k with WinAMP2 and the Alien Mind skin.


How is linux? (Mac OSX is a form of *nux, i think linux)

[DigitalPixie]

it's possible that young peeps here haven't found much time to practice loading a roll of film. so about the photo I posted: I'm not convinced of editing, supersonic or not. also, no one in their right mind has their finger on the button on that camera. remote activation.. (duh?) in any case, I have yet to be shown obvious evidence of editing in the photo (someone mentioned obvious). in addtion, IMO, this is a frame taken from a high-speed movie camera so the best shot could be picked. some of you may have guessed by now (or, heaven forbid, even know :lol: ) that exposures can appear blurred or sharp at almost any distance from the lens. if the lens aperture is very small, details far and near are viewed pretty much evenly. in addition, all very high-speed film gives an unfocused, grainy appearance to the entire exposure--even when shooting a static object.

further: let's presume that F-4s aren't designed to fly that low, either. agreed? but we'll all find out (the curious ones anyway) that there is an F-4 (decommissioned with the name "Sageburner"), that flew over mach one at extremely low altitude, maybe 30 or so years ago. it's being stored in the Smithsonian awaiting restoration. obsolete aerodynamics or not, it may still hold that record. to be clear, the Tomcat could be supersonic in the photo, and indeed is capable at low altitude. if you're not satisfied yet, speak with anyone who's worked on a carrier flight deck.

it's not my intention to drag this out, and I'm not the smartest bozo on the block. I'm simply, and only, poking large holes into some unsupported assumptions.

nice, Maj.


I thought I'd do some review, and I'm incorrect on two counts. the record was established over 40 years ago, and the restoration facility is owned by, but not located in the Smithsonian.

Keep it simple stupid :D

[DRT-Maverick]

I like Kiss. :) the theory.

Jet's usually don't fly that close to water, if they get too much moisture in their engines it's not good.

Though it IS possible. I've seen it before. But not at that speed, it'd probably get pulled into the water, plus the intake feild at that distance would be different.

I bumped this thread since I bumped into this sweet SHODAN background today, so I changed it from a giant red biohazard logo on a black background to this instead:

--Notice the little square in the top right corner: that's MikroAmp for Winamp 2.xx ... the thing kicks ass :tup:
--Also notice all the System Shock 2 influence, not to mention the mouse pointer and all other cursors I have made using the blue-green colors from the cyber interface... in addition to all my custom sound effects for stuff. I love my windows theme.

[KJAX]

There's a new series on Showtime Beyond right now from Zalman King, the mind behind Red Shoe Diaries (the series and movie).

If you haven't seen any of his work, I suggest renting the movie Red Shoe Diaries or Wild Orchid. He also wrote the script for 9 1/2 Weeks.

His latest series, chromiumblue.com, features among other beauties, Summer Altice.. a former playmate.

Blargh, I have merely three apps in my systray:
Gaim (use it for msn), rhythmbox (music player) and acme (multimedia keys app).
Then I have two launchers (which'd be comparable to your windows quicklaunch folder) for galeon (browser) and the terminal.
What fills the bar up is all the other applets though, two network monitor applets for each nic, email applet, charmap applet, two clocks: one normal, one internet time. Then there's the windowlist menu (stolen from mac ;)) that I hardly use and ma blog applet (don't use that much anymore either).

That isnt a mac....note the lack of a whatever they call that apple bar thing that can never ever EVER be moved for the apple is to stay above the user and be worshiped. Also note the lack of mounted drives.

Oh and the winzip dock icon kinda gives it away too.

That being said. While I detest most of the apple UI as you can see from my updated pic I do so love that dock bar. So usefull although it isnt much more than a glorified quick launch toolbar. =)

Yes we are. I am terribley sorry. You are free to comit suicide in the library with the noose now.

Yeah, I'm just messing around. You have the right to your opinion if you don't like it.

Heck, if you have Photoshop and basic knowledge of it, that wallpaper should be a piece of cake to produce. But I'm pleased with it, and I like blue.

I hate Quickbars, or window blinds or any of that ****. It uses up resources and turns your desktop into some kind of kids fantasy jelly bean land with crappy giant icons which serve no purpose other than to impress your upper class idiotic snobby bastard friends who only drink Caffe Latte and think they're better than you and everone else.

The neat little thingy at the bottom, kinda like a second taskbar.

That is Yz's Dock (http://www.dockicons.com/), but you can drag your quicklaunch bar off of your start bar for almost the same effect.

The trillian skin is quicksilver btw.

GET THE ICONS OFF YOUR DESKTOP!

Use a quickbar or something.


Okay, phil, does this look clean enough to you? :)

[DFB]

paper.exe
currently rotating 916 wallpapers. 1x every 5min

here's just one ;)

Where can i get a program that will do that? Or at least a different one each time my computer starts up.

[BillyBadAss]

The first one is my XP install, and the second one is 98.

[Rocket_Magnet]

well i fiddle a lot but heres how it looks atm

edit: can anyone renember that game?

[Destro7000]

hate Quickbars, or window blinds or any of that ****. It uses up resources and turns your desktop into some kind of kids fantasy jelly bean land with crappy giant icons which serve no purpose other than to impress your upper class idiotic snobby bastard friends who only drink Caffe Latte and think they're better than you and everone else. [/rant]

LMAO!

Aha, TM...so you been using the UEngine runtime, too?

Snipeo, Rocket, where do you get that cool desktop menu system from?
I've seen a lot of that type of thing but I don't know what they are/ where to find them.

Phrozen, I see Premiere/Cool edit Pro on your desktop...do you edit Film? :)

Here's my desktop. The fractal background was made by yours truly :) The style is b0se Classic. Check him out on deviantart.com. All my icons are hidden in that arrow beside the calculator. I'd rather not have Firebird and SmartFTP on there but my dad's to lazy to find them in the start menu. :)

i usually open a lot of apps, do some stuff and forget to close them, that's why my fb-desk is crawling with terms. both desks have the bg set to black.

Rocket Magnet: I just noticed that your background is from Metal FAtigue. I really really liked that game when it first came out. Quite good. Nice background :)

Save the file as a jpg, and it will do it automaticly.

Thank you.

Anyone want to share the wisdom on a program that will change my background at a set interval?? :D

DFB: You could always download WinXP Power Tools, it has a background changer as well.

[Assymilator]

Where did everyone get those neat Longhorn-like side bars? Or is that Longhorn itself?

And on another note, besides Window Blinds, what other XP themer programs are out there? Opinions on the "best"? I'd like to mess with one that takes up little to no system resources when in use.

styleXP is around somewhere, it's a nice program works well. Not too sure on how much RAM etc it uses.

What icons? What quickbar? :D
(well okay, it's comparable to a quickbar. But it's actually a panel and it contains my systray, clock, show desktop/all windows buttons and netconnection monitor too. :p (the two bars) So nyah! ;) On top of that, it's normally set to autohide)

[ZenPirate]

Baby pimpage !!! :D

[MeStinkBAD]

Check it out... my new G4 Powerbook desktop... God I love those huge icons... :)

[Rocket_Magnet]

(BUMP!)

well ive now gone for the minimalist approach, i use style xp, and it can get become quite system heavy at times, but i have oodles of ram to spare so it doesnt bother meh.

the toolbars (side and top) are a proggie called y'z dock and most of the icons are done by an atari forumd bloke called krill3, the style xp set is carbonpro, and everything is normally on hide, apart from the 4 icons in the middle, ive tried finding similar art pictures of yoshimitsu ( only tekken 3 and tekken tag i love his outfit in them) but ive only found this one and one with a massive tag on the bottom :/

y'z dock may be quite difficult to find as the creator had the pant sued off him by apple, as its almost a complete rip from osx :)

oh and the winamp skin is sideamp :)

[Assymilator]

Yeah, yeah yeah...

[Morgana]

Blah...

[TossMonkey]

I have a pic of the Ranger from XMP on my desktop that was on BU not so long ago. I have next to nothing installed on my PC right now aswell. UT2003 and Unreal2/XMP are about all I have installed (and all I play). I'd use a quickbar or whatever but they always take up too much ram, are too bloated/have crapware and are never free. And no, I'm not prepared to purchase something that should be a native feature of my OS.

[MeStinkBAD]

Okay... I've cleaned up my PC desktop. Got all the icons looking orderly. I think it's time to unveil my new Windows XP desktop! Ta-da!

I remember someone pointed out to me that that wallpaper was image edited.
Notice that the shadow beneath the tree in front doesn't match at all?

Thank you for pointing that out. I hope someone sets fire to your Christmas Tree :p

Here's what I have... found this LOTR Visual Style at http://www.themexp.org and I downloaded the desktops from the official LOTR movie site and set them to rotate every 15 minutes through Webshots. I particularly like the pretty buttons for the titlebar. :tup:
