i hate having icons on my desktop - thats what quicklaunch is for. :P

[Tim]

Here you go (http://home.ripway.com/2005-2/259308/desktop.png) Big, big warning: 1.02 MB!!

Uhmm.. yeah.

Anyway, I edited out half of the background because of my last name on the hill, and we wouldn't want to see that, would we?

[mck9235]

Nice desktop Tim, very clean. B)
Geek your background is uber. :P I hate quicklaunch though. :(

As for your name Tim, I don't think we would want it as well. :P Nice theme though.

[Aerowind]

My desktop can be seen

A taste of Linux :)

[mck9235]

Aerowind, I get a 404 when trying to acess the image.

P.S. I changed my theme to the one Tim has. B)

[Aerowind]

Hmmmm... I don't know what to tell you unless you want me to make a mini image and upload it to Photobucket (maybe I'll make an Image Shack account for big images like that)

[mck9235]

No the picture just won't load. It says" blah.blah could not be found"

[Gwendylyn Post]

Hehe... I just cleaned my destop up but it got messy again. The background is a picture I took near my house in the catskills (NY).

[Aerowind]

Aha there we go I fixed it. Now can you see it mck, If you can't I REALLY don't know what to tell you.

Wow Gwen I vote for you for Messiest Desktop

[mck9235]

Yours is pretty clean. I want linux so bad. :P I still say Geek's is best.

[geek]

[galbus]

You're desktops are so tidy!

[Canada1824]

ever heard of cleaning? I think you don't. It's so much stuff that are useless. You should clean it.

[starmena3]

[flames]

Galbus, you have about a zillion icons, what do you do with all of them. :P
@Geek: Yea, it will be a new topic.
@Lovingff8: Are you a mac user? I see IE though. :S

There's versions of IE for Mac, of course :)


Canada: Your first desktop shot is sort of controversial. You have a "no more war" background, and then one of your icons is "America's Army" :blink:

[galbus]

Well I've got my Firefox download location as my Desktop so everything gets dumped there until I no longer need it (just like a real desktop). I know I should change it but instead I tend to clean it every month or so and this way I can access thing easily. And all of the program icons I use on a regular basis (at least once a week) so I like them there.

I like my mess anyway. It's like on the 80's cop films where the detective always has a messy desk but still knows exactly where everything is. Messiness and unprofessionalism are two different things.

...unless you're a cleaner. :P

[Aerowind]

Flames might I ask where did you get and how much was Windows Longhorn (Linux isn't that good with a computer with an old video card)

[Canada1824]

Ok, I am anti bush, I like graffiti, so but both together, it's great. Plus My second one is better!

oh does my theme really looks like windows longhorn? :P actually, it is just my theme. i use windows media center edition.
longhorn is not out in stores yet, to get it, you will have to get it in some other ways, like your friend from microsoft. :D

[Aerowind]

Yes it does look like it is. Yeah I need Windows for free or something (can anyone help me out)

I think you are beginning to get off topic. You are a Linux user: don't go back to Windows. Plus, we don't do warez or any other form of illegal promoting here: you'll have to look elsewhere for a "free" version of Windows.

I'd post my desktop, but I really don't want to go through all the trouble, so I'll just describe it to you:

I change wallpapers almost every day. Hate looking at the same thing for a long time. Right now it's a Constantine background. Yesterday it was a Geek background. I have three icons on my dekstop. My localhost root folder (shortcut), my recycle bin, and a text document. All my programs are started with my quick launch icons on my start bar.. provides easy access. I may decide to put up the image.. but not today.

[Aerowind]

Sorry about that... and posting your desktop isn't that much hassle... just hit your Print Scrn button copy it to Paint or some other graphics program if your using windows then go to imageshack.us and upload the file where you saved it then copy the code they provide you and vwala :D

[Canada1824]

viola! Does anyone like my second desktop, the one I am using?

[Dan]

Well, I was going to show you this earlier, but didn't have time. Here's mine:

http://img16.exs.cx/img16/7484/desk3mz.th.gif (http://img16.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img16&image=desk3mz.gif)

I change my background a lot, but I really like 3d abstract things :)

[Canada1824]

sweet, it looks cool! I wonder if anyone is gonna comment on mine? Anyhow, I like galbus to be messiest desktop
