My XP will be shadowed by everyone's fancy new Windows 7/Vista!

I think it looks nice. I don't like colorful wallpapers that much.

I think it looks nice. The icons on the launcher are great (apart from the monitor one).

Adrian Smith is a fucking genius.

Any one of those would make a fine wallpaper.

There is a lack of icons since I'm between computers at the moment.

I can't stand desktop icons. On Ubuntu I can find any programme in about half a second by pressing the Super key and typing the first few letters of its name - I assume Windows has something similar?

I like to be able to see my background... well, not so much the current one since it's mostly blank, but usually.

I find desktop icons handy for quick access. But I hate it when there are loads and loads of them. 3 Columns maximum for me.

STM 06-20-2011 01:08 PM

I don't know why but I love dull/ boring/ dichotomous desktops that insinuate a sort of drab dystopia...for some reason that appeals to me. For example I think Dynamithix has the best desktop atm.

Windows Vista/7 has a search bar in the start menu. As soon as you start typing the name of the program it imidiatly starts searching. The results will constantly update and will appear as a list in the start menu.

The desktop is cool because you don't have to search, but when there's too much it may become a problem.

In Windows 7, they got rid of the quick launch bar so now you simply pin programs onto your task bar via clicking and dragging or right clicking and clicking "pin to task bar".

Because of this, I use my task bar as a place to keep my icons.

The only icon on my desktop is the recycle bin because it can't be pinned to the task bar.

I maximize the size of the recycle bin because huge icons look cleaner and nicer.

Yes it can, but it requires a specific method to do so.

My desktop is ugly. Because Dorian fills it with crap. Except the wallpaper. That's all me.

toying with the idea of getting a less adobe looking version of it tattooed on me.

mines pretty lame.

enchilado 07-10-2011 08:48 PM

I hope you're not saying yours is 'pretty lame' because although you like it yourself you don't want to admit as much in case other people aren't of the same opinion.

If you aren't, and you actually think it's lame, why not change it?

If you are, grow the fuck up and say what you think, rather than what you think other people think.

I think it's cute and mildly amusing.

Subway 07-10-2011 09:36 PM

Bad wording, that comment was not aimed at the image, but the fact I have XP and my lovely set out I couldn't be bothered messing with. I absolutely adore the background, haha.

And I still have Internet Explorer showing. Nothing against IE, but ew.

enchilado 07-10-2011 10:41 PM

The newer versions of Internet Explorer are quite nice. It just took a while to get there.

Space backgrounds are always the nicest

Also I see you have Spiral Knights. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!

Indeed they are! I've taken a liking to pictures of wind turbines lately, so they've been my wallpapers too. And yes I have Spiral Knights. I only played it a couple of times though. There are a few on here who also have it!

Indeed, I've got mine set to cycle through pictures every 5 minutes, and at least half of the 80 background pictures are photos of space or CGI stuff like this:

There's something relaxing about stuff like that.

STM 07-14-2011 03:09 PM

I like Wariopunk's the best, the horse head nebula pictures are so amazing!

For some reason I always loved pylons, their juxtaposition against natures seems oddly soothing and almost post apocalyptic, like if the world reverted to how it was before man, these iron constructs would always be there to show we existed. But I digress. Pylons - my desktop.

Had to make it shitty quality because it was 400kb over the limit and image resizers kept backfiring. Nvm.
