What does your desktop look like?
 
Time to bring this sucker back to live. I think I made a topic like this a loooong time ago, but since I can't find a trace of it in the search I decided to create a shiny new version!

So, what does your desktop look like? Screen em 'n' Post em!

Nice background. My computer kind of...died, so hopefully I'll post a screenshot later. My desktop's all Oddworld themed.

I use the Windows XP Wind theme. It's the one with the wind blowing the sand off the top of a sand dune.

My desktop is a bunch of different iterations of a character that I created called Angelsqueege and that a good man by the name sekto springs/sligslinger draws. I'm not sure that we want to show pictures of him yet so I'm not going to. But the site will be up pretty soon and you will be able to follow all of his adventures as he pisses god off. angelsqueegeandme.com is where you will be able to find us. Keep watching.

I still have WIN 98, due to a crappy computer...

But anyways, I made this wallpaper today, I think it looks swell. Modified the colours as well.

Lately I've been going for photos I've taken myself. Currently both of my computers have (different) photos of jellyfish from the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Interesting picture there Nate, looks pretty cool!

Lord Vulcher 06-29-2006 06:11 AM

My desktop is the Doctor Who wallpaper for Army of Ghosts, but incase you don't like Doctor Who I won't post a link.

Mutual Friend 06-29-2006 10:45 AM

SNAP! Lord Vulcher. I'm such a geek...

Kamille 06-29-2006 12:45 PM

i just use the follow thing on windows xp with the school of fish, its pretty lame

skillya_glowi 06-29-2006 02:06 PM

Why is it that, while all being members of the OWF, I am the only one with an Oddworld wallpaper?

Rex Tirano 06-29-2006 02:43 PM

Mine is a photo from my Prom a few weeks ago~!! XD

I've put all my recent desktop pictures here: http://s76.photobucket.com/albums/j9...rose/desktops/

Most of them are for my widescreen laptop. All are photos I've taken myself.

Most of us also have other interests outside Oddworld ;).

Mojo 06-30-2006 12:28 AM

And they are bigger than our interest in Oddworld.

Those are great wallpapers.

Just because you like Doctor Who doesn't mean you are a geek.

Mutual Friend 06-30-2006 06:54 AM

No, but changing your desktop wallpaper each week for the new episode certainly DOES. :)

I only change it because all the other wallpapers are awful.

SeaRex 06-30-2006 08:16 AM

I had to scale down the screenshot.

Nate 06-30-2006 10:43 PM

Thanks Dusan.

Searex, wtf is that?

Xavier 07-01-2006 01:52 AM

this is mine on my girlfriend's computer

Mojo 07-01-2006 03:40 AM

Nate, that's a pic of a Dremora (or a character) wearing some Daedric Armor. It's from the game Oblivion.

Havoc 07-01-2006 05:02 AM

Eeww Oblivion :p

Jeez, I feel like I'm behind the times using these pre made desktops in my comp.

Anywho, I've changed my desktop from Wind to Sunset. How incredibly gay.

Nice Oddworld theme :)

Xavier 07-07-2006 09:50 AM

what's that TOGG folder? :p

dripik 07-07-2006 10:04 AM

This thread reminds me that the basic Windows XP wallpaper is getting a bit boring. Better get something new.

Nice desktops, all.

where did you download all those icons and mouse pointers

Guess.

I need those images to make wallpapers.


To SSP: I got those from the Abe's Oddysee CD. I explained how to get them in this little dead thread in the OW Help Forum entitled "switching music on computer reboot".
Except the logo, I had to do that one myself.
There was another icon that was on my desktop that didn't make it to the screenshot. Just when I had my computer all organized, I booted it up one day, and it tells me that the file [long path name]blah blah blah[/long path name] is corrupt or missing. So I took out my hard drive and screwed it into my parents' computer, copied all the files that I needed, then I stuck it back into my computer and reset the system.
Then I had to decorate everything over again. :nonono:
But anyway, the original desktop had a fuzzle instead of the 'My Documents' icon.

Don't ask why I have a clock widget set for Japan time, despite living in England.

Yeah, I sometimes return to old times. It's enjoyable, even if it's not a game of today.
