What does your desktop look like? V3 -

vegas is shit and final cut is soso. really all I've ever used is after effects.

That's really only good for special effects. Not so much as a stand alone non linear editor.

I have Final Cut and After Effects and could've gotten premiere, but didn't need it :P

I can see the Ubuntu logo on the bottom left, but what is the desktop environment?

It's a bit of a combination, using the Compiz window manager (though you can't really tell that from a desktop screen), the Avant Window Navigator (which creates the bar down the bottom), and then I just have a screenlets application which gives you a bunch of widgets to throw around (e.g. the ubuntu logo which is actually access to the menus, the calendar etc). The top panel is just the normal one.

:

I approve of both your Linux installation and Sonata Arctica.

It's surprising how many people I can confuse with this desktop background, I didn't think their logo was that hard to read. Perhaps that's just because I heard their name before I saw the logo though. Regardless of readability it does make a very good wallpaper though

I have two desktops, one for OS X and one for Windows XP.

Here's my XP one, can't be bothered to reboot now.

THANK FUCKING CHRIST.

Objectdock (along with Launchy) is an essential piece of software where my Windows installations are concerned (though I don't much care for the glass theme).

YOU are now my favourite person of the thread. Good job little mang

Little addons like what spam_can has got are great, but when it comes to speed, there buggers, expecially that glass effect for XP, if thats Windowsblinds then you must be wasting so much performance just for that effect (well even if its different from windows blinds), it's not worth it really. You can get a Vista theme for XP if you really want it, no transparency but it dosen't slow the fuck out of our PC.

Thats my desktop, not that you can see it or anything. Every time my desktop gets full, I select everything, dump it in a folder, and put it in my Documents drive. I have about 4 / 5 folders in there full of crap :\

You just like looking at Lara Croft's boobage don't you?

joshkrz · #67 07-26-2009, 12:41 PM

Yerh, too bad there's half a ton of icons in the way

Idea: better organisation of files. Look at my desktop. Give or take a few recent bits, it's all organised. And into sub-categories and sub-sub-categories. Sometimes even sub-sub-sub-categories. Keeps the desktop neat. It's best just to keep frequently used programs and "mother" folders on the desktop.

I used to be like that, but I have 8 hard drives and their basicaly nearly all full, so I get impatient and the desktop is the easiest place to get to. One day I will have to sort every thing out, it will take longer than a day though.

OddjobAbe · #70 07-26-2009, 01:02 PM

Eight hard drives? Nearly all full? Fucking Hell, how many programs do you have?
I bet 99% is porno.

Is your desktop really and actually some kind of temporal vortex for thinkly worn and used-up cartewn characters, as you seem to imply by the word you've coined to describe it, 'Tempory?' Who is that anyway-- PEEK-AT-CHU?

I do like it though.

Thats like me. I have: An internet icon, A shortcut to my hardrive, the recycle bin and a folder called crap.

Changing my monitor for the second time in two weeks necessitated a change of desktop picture. I scanned both but I've decided to use the one on the left for now. Unfortunately, framing meant I had to cut out the blue spikey thing out of the other one, which left it a little colourless.

***Xavier*** · #89 08-20-2009, 05:13 AM

Daxter King, nice background you've got there, did you take the snapshot yourself?

Anyway my current one:

Yeah, Halo 3's built in screen shot feature comes in handy.
