Lohan looks disgusting now. I mean, her face is okay... but the whole Lindsay is just blech.
She was way hotter with a tad more meat on her and blonde.
This is where it's at, and even here she's a bit on the thin side:

Mandy Moore with long hair is still devastatingly gorgeous, though:

Are you kidding me? That's when Lohan still had a body. I think being extremely skinny is ugly. From those pics, she could maybe stand to lose like, 5 pounds to be near-perfect. I'd still take how she was then over her now any day.

have you looked at these wallpapers csimon...designed for dual displays and purty also :thumbsup:
i believe u just use stretch? under desktop properties....been awhile since i used dual monitors
that just streaches a single paper, i think he wants a different one on either screen
csimon
11 Nov 2005, 3:18am
Stretch only stretches the same image to each screen unless I'm not doing it right. When I use stretch all it does is stretch the same image to fit each monitor ...I'd like to have a single wallpaper split to occupy both monitors or a different wallpaper on each monitor. I thought that maybe that's what hydravision was for but I don't think so.
I thought there might be some shareware or something out there that would help. UltraMon looks like it does the job but it's not shareware.

I like it. It's super simple. For some really trippy wallpapers, check out this site. (http://www.stevetruett.com/wallpaperpages/wallpaper_home02.html). It looks like it's basically high-res versions of Electric Sheep fractals (which is an insanely cool screensaver, by the way!)

What calender app. is on your desktop?
I have had that question so many times. I think I've answered two or three times in this thread, as well as dozens of times in real life. It's basically the one app I could no longer live without. I haven't found anything nearly as robust or perfect or small.
http://www.zepsoft.com/wallcal/
It's great. I didn't want the Widget one, nor any others that only had a day with a side-menu for things. This is exactly what I needed. Trust me, after you use it, you'll never go back to a regular calendar.
Pilot, that's quite the messy desktop. How do you find anything? :P

what all are you using with yours?
mm mine SHOULD run independant of even mother board monitor. If you wanna try it out make sure you get all of the visuals and plug ins even if you dont think you will use them.
the whole this is done by creating "Forms" on your desktop that allow you to insert text and visuals into the form. if you script it outside of the form you cant see anything. its kinda like cuting holes in the desktop and having graphs and suck behind the hole.
its complicated untill you get the hang on it. you use pixel locations to position the forms around. then you use the pisxle locations inside the form for the tags. it looks alot like HTML
ill attach a txt with my code in it.
also i cant take complete credit, the original is here: http://www.coolmon.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4602
but even with the source code it took me 2 days to get it to work on my computer. it may look the same but the code is almost totally overhualed
the desktops these people make, make mine look like crap

Here is my baby. I like it. I'm running talisman as the shell. Various different icons from Deviant Art, which rocks. I am using Y'z dock on the right. It is awesome too. One of my computer teachers owns a powerbook, and he loves the dock, and when I showed that to him, he went nuts. So I had to get it on his pc. Other than that I am all pretty much stock. but it so much better than the stock gui.
Deicist, how did you change the actual windows. I've replaced the shell and all that good stuff. but I cant figure out for the life of my how to change that.:( and are you using icon packager or some other app?

I use style XP (http://http://www.tgtsoft.com/). You have to pay for it after the 30 day trial but it lets you change the visual style, boot screen, login screen, icons etc etc... And there's a section on deviantart for visual styles, that's where I got mine from.

I've never messed with replacing my shell, things like that make me shudder to think of it going bad.

About as minimalistic as you're going to get.
No shelling, no theming. explorer.exe hacking, shell32.dll changed to "shell16.dll" (i stole the win2k one from college). Used "ResHACK" to modify explorer. Made my own .theme file (great for thos late nights in the dark, no eye-burnzage)... and some .ico changing. ResHack'd the start button (saves about 5cm in 1024*768 res)... again used ResHACK to hack the .bmp, got my own 16x16 and it work'd. Then just went into regedit, found the right place in winlogin, and changed to tweak'd vers. Only uses about 10~12k in memory usage...

I remember some time ago (Win98) there was an OpenGL shell replacement for Explorer. It left enough to be desired functionality-wise that I kept using Explorer. I still don't understand why Microsoft requires top-of-the-line hardware to do things with the Vista shell that, from what I gather, could probably be done even with integrated hardware (albeit a bit slow)...and appears that Linux does already.
But that is a topic for another discussion.
