What does your desktop look like?

I thought it'd be cool to check out all the unique desktops you guys/gals have since you're all so into threadless designs.

Do you like mine? =) If you want me to tell me where I got the icons and wallpaper I will, but if you don't give a crap then don't post.

Umm.... instead of screenieing mine. Well I'll describe it. I actually need to change mine, but anyway.

It's a girl with a scarf reading shakespere and has a ravenclaw quote from Harry Potter. x.x

Ugh... windows. I like how you have the task bar at the top , mac style.

adam antium on Nov 06 '05 at 3:14pm

I 've got a spiderman drawing by idontknowwho...anyway it's an upside/down spidey between skyscrapers...

Afro1989 on Nov 06 '05 at 3:14pm

Yeah, I was going to get the new G5 but I'll just wait a few years 'til I go to college.

Anyone have their desktop to share?

While I'm at it, does anyone know how to change the font colour of icons on Windows XP? I've been able to do it on every other version of Windows, just not this one.

cattrfly on Nov 06 '05 at 3:42pm

Mine is set to change every half hour; currently it's the FSM. ;)

My physical desktop's got piles of drawings, toys and computer stuff lying around. I should clean it soon, before the rats start nesting..

Afro1989 on Nov 06 '05 at 3:53pm

Well, I meant what does your Mac or PC desktop look like. It's okay though.

CapelliRossi on Nov 06 '05 at 3:57pm

Mine's got a bunch of watermelons on it.

tabbycat742 on Nov 06 '05 at 3:59pm

I'm too lazy to screenshot mine, but it has a picture of Gob from Arrested Development in his Hot Cop uniform knocking on someone's door, and it says "Hot Cop"

:]

just this photo of mine:

pretty soon I'll get sick of it and change it, even though I love the picture.

...how doy you take a screen shot....

arethiel on Nov 06 '05 at 4:15pm

well, on a PC, you can push the "Print Screen" button and it takes a picture (up near home and next ones) and on the Mac, ya can use the utility Grab to take de picture

xiv on Nov 06 '05 at 4:18pm

after you press the print screen button, where is the pic stored?

arethiel on Nov 06 '05 at 4:20pm

then it has been copied to the clipboard and you open, say, MS Paint, and paste it. I always pushed alt-print screen, but I was told you don't actually need the alt (cry), but yeah. it should paste it in...

gerpander on Nov 06 '05 at 4:21pm

It's in the temp "memory", go to Photoshop, open a new file which will be the exact size of your print screen, ctrl+v paste it and there you have it. Simple.

gerpander on Nov 06 '05 at 4:23pm

With Alt it doesn't grab the whole desktop, only the active window. Like if you have a small browser window open by itself (not fullscreen) and you want to grab only that, then make it active with a mouse click and printscreen it with Alt.

arethiel on Nov 06 '05 at 4:27pm

ahhhh, gotcha. thanks! course, not that I use a pc anymore, but still, good to know

its always changing...

Skipper6745 on Nov 06 '05 at 6:42pm

Mine sucks. Anyone know a way to change the XP theme without windows blinds? It takes too many resources and it keeps asking me to buy it.

esiotrot on Nov 06 '05 at 6:42pm

ahh david lanham is one of my favorite e-artists (i guess that is what you would call him)

here are samples of my desktop using his stuff:

cattrfly on Nov 06 '05 at 6:59pm

arethiel: no need to use Grab on a Mac; apple key + shift + 3 gives you a full screenshot, apple key + shift + 4 gives you cross hairs which you drag to select an area and the pic is taken when you release. Both of these save as a pdf file on your desktop by default (I have an applet installed to auto-convert to a jpg) or you can copy the shot to your clipboard instead by adding "control" to the above key combos. :)

Stevethegreat on Nov 06 '05 at 7:08pm

I just use National Geographic photos.....i have them change every five minutes

arethiel on Nov 06 '05 at 7:22pm

thanks cattrfly!

Afro1989 on Nov 06 '05 at 7:26pm

Cool esiotrot. I don't know what my desktop would look like without Lanham stuff. I love your desktops. If I had a Mac then I'd do something like that also.

mad cat on Nov 06 '05 at 7:27pm

Mine is a pinup from my favorite web comic,

The Adventures of Boschen and Nesuko.

BlahBlahBlahShutUp on Nov 06 '05 at 7:28pm

At first I had a picture of my dog, Lucky

Then it was a picture of Big Ben

And now it's Harry Potter

I'm really undecisive. I can't really stay with anything.

cattrfly on Nov 06 '05 at 7:40pm

No problem, arethiel. :)

Ack... I meant AppleScript, not applet. :P Here's the code and how to use it if you're interested (to auto-convert screenshot pdfs to jpgs):

Lol.

Haha.

rosewaterecho on Nov 06 '05 at 8:47pm

My desktop picture changes all the time with my mood. Currently, it's a depiction of Kafka's The Metamorphosis. Lovely <3
