What the hell is that version of Windows and why would you have icons both on your desktop and on your panel?

Wings of Fire 11-19-2011 04:39 PM

OH MY GOD THERE ARE GAPS

MY OCD

SO BAD

Mudokon_Master 11-19-2011 07:42 PM

Easy. I prefer them that way. Do I have to go along with the mainstream of Windows users?

What the hell is that version of Windows?
Windows 7

enchilado 11-19-2011 07:54 PM

Why the hell would you set Windows 7 to look like that?

Phylum 11-19-2011 07:59 PM

Because he's cool enough to know where control panel is.

Mudokon_Master 11-19-2011 08:29 PM

Actually, no. It speeds up my laptop's performance by over 250%.
I would recommend it Enchilado, as I know your current computer is also a piece of shit.
C:\Windows\System32\SystemPropertiesPerformance
And select adjust for best performance.

It makes a huge difference as long as you're willing to sacrifice the fairy shit used to make Windows 7 look pretty.

enchilado 11-19-2011 08:39 PM

Thanks, but I don’t use Windows.

How can you run those games but not Windows 7 on its normal graphics settings?

Phylum 11-19-2011 08:58 PM

I think the point was that he couldn't run the games AND Windows 7 on it's default graphics settings.

Mudokon_Master 11-19-2011 09:03 PM

No, my point was that I could only run the games on about 5 fps.
Now I can run them with over 30. I can still run the games on the same graphics they originally had, it's just that Windows 7 is less pretty (which I don't really give a flying shit about).

Dynamithix 11-20-2011 01:18 AM

That's by far one of the ugliest desktops I've seen.

JennyGenesis 11-20-2011 01:45 AM

I second that Dynamithix.

I just put mine on Aero Basic. It works well enough and looks alright. Although it was only for Minecraft to run properly, but the final version seems to run Dokucraft flawlessly without me changing anything :D.

I don't know anything about this guy, I'm sure I will know all about him when I play Saints Row The Third, but I think that he looks just awesome, but what I find weird about this wallpaper which I got from the official Saints Row website is that no matter what size you download they all look a little bit blury.

It's always better to manually scale up/down wallpaper for desktop use using photoshop or paint.net than it is to just stick it to your desktop and rely on your os to scale it properly (It won't)

Other than that, the source image might just be shitty. Check that shit out by opening it in one of the above.

JennyGenesis 11-20-2011 01:26 PM

I looked through them all, they are all blury :/

Wings of Fire 11-20-2011 01:33 PM

Well now, that's just shitty.

why the fuck do you support Manchester City of all places? support a local, shittier team.

Mudokon_Master 11-20-2011 08:32 PM

I think my desktop is cute.
No seriously what the fuck who cares if the desktop is attractive? That's just stupid.

Wings of Fire 11-20-2011 08:55 PM

Why? My computer is my own personal space. I'll be damned if I'm not going to make it look as sexy as possible.

Also, belittling the opinions of others because they don't agree with you? Real mature.

Mudokon_Master 11-20-2011 11:08 PM

Ah okay sorry guys I was in a pretty shit mood. Okay I didn't really mean for that to sound as bad as it did.
In my opinion though, it's just unnecessary, but I can definitely see how having a sexy computer has its benefits.

Nate 11-21-2011 01:20 AM

For me it's less about sexiness and more about making my computers (on which, frankly, I spend most of my waking hours) welcoming, calming places.

It looks like it's been deliberately softened. Probably for stylistic reasons.

JennyGenesis 11-21-2011 02:14 AM

It just looks like I have a low quality wallpaper stretched out :/

I'll stick with it though just because Professor Genki looks cool.

I support Inter Milan F.C., Manchester City is just another team I like all over Europe. And David Silva is one of my favourite football player.

Come on you reds, better than blue since before time!!! ^-^

Crashpunk 11-23-2011 07:08 AM

Icons are all over the place but the wallpaper is pretty awesome.

Where's CDi link though? :p

Crashpunk 11-23-2011 07:35 AM

Burnt into ash because that game sucked.

MA 11-23-2011 10:59 AM

so yeah. take that.
