[Geeky1]

Here's my current one (just the desktop image, in case you want to use it yourself). Every time I see it, I want to turn my monitor on its side... :D

[Straight_Man]

I'm kinda with Chugger....

Functional-- Prescott box desktop.... Courtesy PSP 8.1 capture and PNG optimizer....

[Straight_Man]

EXCEPT when I want the weather on demand stuff-- WeatherWatcher is a freebie, BTW. Had to do a pallette based PNG convert, 256 color pallette, looks better here-- I hate it when I come in 20K over the upload\png limit..... ;( ;D
Screen Res is 1280x1024, 16 bit colors.

[entropy]

no themes atm, it takes up cpu time and slows down the world. geeky, is that pic FULL size? cuz my desktop is bigger and i'd hate to stretch such an excellent picture :)

\\edit: slightly choppage, but i'm too lazy to fix it :rolleyes:

[csimon]

This is the latest.

[Straight_Man]

I like the f1 and f2 stats in upper right corner, what are they??? Benchmarks by folding client??? Also, is the 66 the RAM load in percent of total RAM free???? I KNOW, Curious George here.... :D I'm like a kid with simple stats displays on desktops....

if so, when my clients start up while everything else is loading, I get around 3200 each. And if I restart a client without restartign Xp, the figures jump by 3000 to about 6200.

If these f1 and f2 numbers are not folding client stats, what are they???

Nice picture of your son-- when I was at that age, I had a brush cut.... VERY short one.

[csimon]

LOL f1 and f2 are my fans 1 & 2 ...but I like the way you think John!!!
66 is the percentage of wu completed (notice EMIII 264/400=66%) and the graph there to roughly shows it.
All of the stats are displayed thru coolmon v1. The third and fourth line are derived from a text file within your folding directory called unitinfo.txt.

The current data from within that file is:

Download time: May 18 01:23:44
Due time: July 26 01:23:44

The brush cut is coming ...hehe!!!

If you want to know more about how to set up these stats for you folding data with coolmon I'll be glad to help. I'll post the one from school soon ...just multiply the stats here by 25-27?

Thought you might get a chuckle, and it is amazing what you find by looking at and asking about desktops.... :D

MY DAD was real conservative, don't brush cut the young-un too much, OK??? Kids like looking like other kids their age, usually-- LIKE IT big time.... I HATED brush cuts, maybe that is why I hate haircuts now....

Might try something like Coolmon.... Though I do not need it for client monitoring.... (GOES via KVM to other box to show why, will edit post from there.... Done....)

[csimon]

Yes ...I remember the bat files now.
Tracie just asked me what a brush cut is ...LOL

[Norge]

I think most of you have prolly seen my desktop by now. I seriously can't help laughing at it every time. ;D

[Geeky1]

entr0py, yeah, it's full size. But stretching it to 16x12 on my laptop didn't result in much noticeable degradation in image quality- it's a bit fuzzy, but not very much. The only way it's really noticeable is if you look at both the stretched and original versions at the same time.

[entropy]

k thnx geeky. i really like that pic :) this is mine as of a week or so ago. original is andidas' work from here (http://www.andidas.com) . i like a lot of his stuff and just took this one and did a simple filter in PS

\\EDIT: the words, and the picture are fuzzier than hell here because it's so darn big and i saved it as quality 5 in photoshop...really looks excellent at full size

[TheGr81]

Umm... Yeah. Here's mine. lol I still got some cleaning up to do. Just yesterday I cleaned off all those empty spaces full of unused icons and dead/empty folders. I'll get around to cleaning it sometime...

Oh yeah. Desktop is 1280x1024@75hz, 32-bit color, one of Windows' own wallpapers. I got tired of "Vortec Space" so I just threw something else up.

[entropy]

HAHA LMAO @ your recycle bin! oh that's genius! hehehe

[GHoosdum]

My current primary rig desktop...

[TheGr81]

hehe thx entr0py

Umm... I kinda stole your desktop a little bit, as far as the icon layout goes. Much cleaner than what I had before, wouldn't you agree?

[GnomeWizardd]

Hey GH Would you be willing to send me that desktop background? I really like it

[GHoosdum]

Sure thing, Gnome. YGPM.

[entropy]

lol yeh having useful apps and games seperated works nicely :) except mine look retarded, as for some reason i think in twos and *always* associate one thing with another ... progs, games, music, movies, etc ... tis weird but works

[TheGr81]

Hmm... As long as you're giving it away...

Me too! :clap: If you don't mind... :usflag:

And what does "YGPM" mean?

[GHoosdum]

"YGPM" is You've Got Private Message

Here's the file in all it's 1600x1200 splendor. 56K'ers, I'm sorry!

[Geeky1]

What the hell? ONLY 1600x1200?!? What am I supposed to do with that? My desktop's monitor does 2048x1536... :D

[TheGr81]

Much appreciated. :thumbsup:

Edit:
What the hell? ONLY 1600x1200?!? What am I supposed to do with that? My desktop's monitor does 2048x1536... :D
Holy crap dude! 1600x1200 is this monitor's max. (well, almost. It's more like 17xx by 13xx... x=I dunno!) 1280x1024 is it's native res I think. Everything is much too small at 16x12.

[GHoosdum]

Unfortunately, 1600x1200 is the largest size the guy puts them on his website in. ;)

TheGr81, you're quite welcome!

[TheGr81]

Actually, I can set my display above 16x12. My desktop just starts scrolling, that's all! ;D

[GHoosdum]

Actually, I can set my display above 16x12. My desktop just starts scrolling, that's all! ;D

1600x1200 is too small for me as well (it's a 17" LCD). I've got mine at 1280x1024 right now. Unfortunately, there's not a version of the wallpaper for this size. But he does make it in several other sizes as well. The wallpaper has the URL for all of his wallpapers on it, if you're interested. I think he's some kind of art student. Most of them are pretty good work.

[TheGr81]

Oooh perty... I'll be sure to take another look tomorrow. Thanks again GH!

[GHoosdum]

Tada.

Kudos to anyhow who figures out how I arrange (most of) my icons...;)

[Creep]

entr0py, Icon spacing look familiar? I've been doing them this way since good'ole win9x days!!!!

P.S. 50 Cent doesn't have a band, he has a bunch of guys jumping around saying the same 4 words. Ozzy has a band. Never discredit a real musican with morons again. kthplzdrvthru

[entropy]

HAHA! I never would've known! (bump so Jengo sees it, btw :P) I just came up with it so I could find my way around. I have them in pairs, if you notice. I tend to think in twos / associate two things :-/. Weird, I know. Where the link for that desktop? And where'd you get the sky-blue xp theme?:)

//EDIT: Where can I get a program to make the text I set in my start button (stop!) stay there? I have one, but it only sticks for a little while...

http://www.themexp.org/ The theme is called "Blue Ice" Your gonna need style XP to make it work tho. Why windows added theme support but only supported certian themes I'll Never know! I usually group myt icons based on their type, like my RTS games and my FPS'rs, but right before I took that pic all my icons got dinked. I hate windows sometimes..

My boring one

[Geeky1]

tcith, I took a look at that site, and I'm going to have to do some more research into it before I come to my final conclusion, but at this point, on this particular issue, I have to agree with PETA (did I just say that?) Their approach to making their point is usually not very good, and I don't think you'll ever see fur coats and whatnot banned, but for christ's sake, is it too much to ask for the animals being raised for their fur to be raised and killed in a humane manner? And if the stuff on that site is true, that's not what's happening.

Damn, now I'm depressed.

Anyhow, here are the new backgrounds on my desktops. (and LIN, if you were worried before, you can skip this post ;)) I'm quite happy with these, so they won't be changing anytime soon I don't think (except when the parents come to visit... :-/), which means I won't be posting new pics of my backgrounds anytime soon, which I'm sure will make some of you exceedingly happy ;)

Anyhow, here are the censored versions of my backgrounds (dual athlon first, dual xeon second)

As you say I am also not agains't fur as such, the treatment of the animals is disgusting, I just found that image of Sophie Ellis Baxter very powerful and looks nice on my black monitor with the black background.

Are you using the wide desktop on that Radeon 9600 in your sig? If so, I'm not sure how to get it to span the whole desktop. It's easy with the new nVidia drivers. I still keep a tall taskbar on the right screen though, as I use all the space I can get on the other screen for mapping.

[profdlp]

Whoa... there were computers when you went to school?! :p
Only in the most primitive sense. :bawling:

My first experience with a "real" computer was in the 7th grade in 1971. You wrote your program on this device which "saved" it to a strip of yellow paper. To run it you fed the paper through a hole-punch reader which read it and printed out the results on a device which looked like a clunky typewriter. If the strip of paper tore (which was all too common) you were SOL and had to start over.... :wtf:

The school system I was in (Arlington, Co. VA) owned exactly one of these computers. They moved it from classroom to classroom throught the three High Schools and six Jr. High Schools. I think our class of 25 students had it for about a week.

I wrote a program to solve for prime numbers. The computer was so slow I did not get very far into finding primes before the machine was whisked away to another class, even though I stayed after school and spent my lunch hour trying to achieve a scientific breakthrough.

It remains to this day the one and only program I have ever written. ;D

Desktop is from deviantart.com
Resized from 1680x1050, the original png file was 3.35mb:eek:

AND OMG PNGs are huge files at that quality I guess. I had to save it at like less than 640x480 to get it under the upload requirements. I usually use PNG since I thought they were small but not this one.

[danball1976]

Full screen shots saved as png format are huge files. If you save just a screenshot of the active window, a png image is small.

PNG is only really efficient if it is used to store a pic with large areas of same color. Where lots of distinct tones or colors exist, it cannot compress well. So, a rainbow picture would not compress well, but a sky pic of blue with mostly white clouds would. Real good desktop puicture, thanks for sharing it.... :D

jpg is better for color intense and where in same pic there are many variants of colior and\or tone in any given sample area.

tiff is better for detail retention where picture is likely to be enlarged.

[fatcat]

Siggy,

hello,

which one?

the 4 spheres one? that one uses windowblinds with plugin desktopX and 4spheres (www.boxxi.com.uk)theme... here are the websites with the info

www.windowblinds.net
www.wincustomize.com

in short u want to install windowblinds, then get desktopX, then just download desktopX themes from wincustomize.com

the bmw pic and wildfern pic i got off www.themexp.org

the abstract cross pic was off www.deviantart.com

have a good one

[Siggy]

fatcat, thanks for that M8,

cheers :)

Here's mine (photo at the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs, CO)

[Gargoyle]

My desktop @ work. Sorry about the size & crappy jpeg compression. Don't have photoshop at work :(

[RWB]

I'm still customizing... got samurize and rainsomethingoranother running for the eyecandy I enjoy :thumbsup:

The background is Tyra Reid with a very simple photoshop filter... I like the simple things in life :D

I've also included a second one, I wanted a Sin City appearance to it. I think it came out nicely :thumbsup:

[profdlp]

In honor of a great man...

[Bone]

heres mine 1280x1024 and made wallpaper by editing some other wall paper i found on net x :

[sfleuriet]

heres mine- i ALWAYS have a hot babe on my desktop!! :cool:

[entropy]

So I'm sitting here trying to ignore my homework away, extremely bored (notice the lack of windows?), and figured I'd revive this beast. The background is a print I happened to see on DeviantArt one day, along with the quote the creator used in the description. I thought it fit the picture perfectly, so I put it on there. I love bluish desktops - complements the overall Windows color scheme so perfectly.

What program is that, where can I find it? The best of both worlds - A pretty UI+gaming performance. ;)

I've had this desk for too long... it's about time I changed.

EDIT:
Wait... That's an actual Mac isn't it? :doh: I honestly can't tell... It's a little too convincing to be a PC, but there's a few things missing to be a mac. :confused:

The one that makes your PC pretty like a Mac. ;D

I would have to shoot Raul if he had a Mac.;)

[TheGr81]

Do you know of another mirror to download from? Clicking download on that site tells me that "The page cannot be found" :banghead:

[Black Hawk]

ftp://www.download.cg.yu/razno/FlyakiteOSXv2.0.exe

[Nomad]

I spurred Raul's desktop when I asked for a dock, he found another nice Mac scheme though.

BTW Black Hawk, when installing that virtual Mac OS, are there any special steps to take or cautions to look out for? Or is it just as easy as flipping between Windows and your Virtual Mac OS?

[Black Hawk]

It's not a virtual OS. All the program does is modify system files, add themes, icons, wallpapers and necessary programs. You can change back by uninstalling the program.

[_jesus]

aahhh, that makes much more sense. can't wait to try it out in the summer. got a few weeks left of school and don't want anything to go wrong with the computer. :D

I would highly advise that when I tryed to install it I ended up doing a repair windows install :(

I used 6 images I found to make the wallpaper myself. ^-^

[GrayFox]

Good job flib :)

here's mine...

logon UI
http://img87.echo.cx/img87/5715/login3gv.jpg

[sfleuriet]

cool, but OMG who puts the start menu at the top?!?! :mean:

[GrayFox]

Start menu is on the top of mine too. Makes it more like gnome :)

[Flibby]

I usually put mine on the side, but Win2000 cuts off the clock when I do that.

[sfleuriet]

omg i couldn't breathe if mine was like that :mad:

[fatcat]

taskbar at the top, quicklauch to the left...

[sfleuriet]

ahhh!!!!! im gunna die!!! windows isnt supposed to be like that!!! lol

[Flibby]

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

[entropy]

Whoa, fatcat. I really like the idea of having the quick launch someplace else. I could dump everything onto that :) Those also take up less memory than desktop icons, right?

[fatcat]

yea i love the quicklaunch...usually i dont have any icons on my desktop at all..guess i need to do some house cleaning :D

as far as memory ive never really analyzed it

[profdlp]

Docking my Quick Launch bar on the left side is the first thing I do after a clean install. At 1280X1024 there is room for 44 icons. I even use it for shortcuts to specific folders, and even files, like my Notable Milestone cheat sheet Word document.

I only need to click my Start button maybe once a week.

[mcwc]

Finally decided to clean up my desktop and change my layout a bit, specifically to using quicklaunch.

[Animal]

i am not sold on your theme fatcat..... looks different.

[metomeya]

What? I was the first one to dock the quicklaunch bar. Check out Page 21, about a fourth way down. Its the desktop with the mountains.

I even said remember you saw it here first, gosh. :shakehead

[sfleuriet]

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

omg i know its not a bug.. i'm just saying i hate it like that.

[csimon]

page 6 ...my taskbar is hidden but you can see the blue taskbar border at the top. That's where I've always kept it and I keep them that way all over the lab!

[fatcat]

i am not sold on your theme fatcat..... looks different.

which one?...ive post 4 or 5 desktop pics in this thread.

[Animal]

the lateest one with the white squares.....

here is my desktop:

[fatcat]

just an old classic theme style

[profdlp]

"Classic" alright. Reminds me of Buttons for DOS. ;D

[mojos]

http://img248.echo.cx/img248/985/mydesktop24ll.jpg

[sfleuriet]

thats pretty neat. I guess since this thread has opened back up, I'll update mine.

[NiGHTS]

I like how you have Ocean's Twelve sitting in the middle of your desktop. ;)

[sfleuriet]

haha.. i might should've moved that haha

yeah i keep all... (dvds that i bought)... on the desktop until theyre finished.. downloading

[Preacher]

Preacher's Digital Pulpit

[sfleuriet]

[Preacher]

[Jengo]

Okay! here is my new Ubuntu 5.04 Linux desktop! I love it!


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/heavygrubs/36c2c72b.jpg

[metomeya]

Okay I'm back, move back, move back, the champ is here :shades:


Okay Seriously here are my desktops. Yes desktops.
I decided to split my computer into my games/fun stuff user with its desktop, and a work user with its own desktop too. That way I'm not temped to start my favorite game when I see it's icon on my desktop while I've got a paper due the next day.

Here are both, they also show the quicklinks that pop up on the sides.

Remember you saw it here first. ME :thumb:

[metomeya]

And here is the work one.........

[Preacher]

metomeya,
from your desktops, I surmise you are an outdoor hard-working minimalist?

[Mt_Goat]

I know I haven't put mine on in a while.

[sfleuriet]

hey metomeya - don't forget to call the Parking Department :thumbsup:

[Preacher]

Nice Strike Eagle, mtgoat.

[sfleuriet]

o nice car, preacher :thumbsup:

[Mt_Goat]

Nice Strike Eagle, mtgoat.
I just love those birds! I don't care what else they come out with they will always be at the top of my list. That is also one of my favorite pics. However I would take a new 'stang. :thumbsup:

[Preacher]

Long as you don't take my new pony, I'm happy. The Strike Eagles are an impressive piece of kit....for an Air Force bird. ;)

I prefer something a LOT slower, less gucci, but with old school aviation mojo...
here's a pic of a real sky pig/battlewagon/hunter of the sea. :cool:

[Mt_Goat]

Here's one with a bit less flash. But they are some of the biggest workhorses ever flown. I have 2 friends who are retired AF pilots and as much as they like the capabilities of the newer birds they both swear that the F-4 is the most awesome thing to fly. It's also interesting to note that the F-4 has the longest running operational record and used by all branches.

Dear Lindsay: Please eat a sandwich. You were hot. Now you're merely "Okay" (and all your "goods" are gone :-/). Thank you.

Fatcat: Were you talking about my wallpaper?

Dear Lindsay: Please eat a sandwich.
