February, 2006 Desktops

[madmatt]

Have you seen Sazar's? ha, ha.

Show it! NOW!#^ =]

 

[Sazar]

Hey, whats wrong with mine

 

[Son Goku]

:laugh:

There's nothing really wrong with Saz's desktop. It's more minamilist then some of his other d'tops, but also what he likes

BTW, you want to talk about d'tops that one shouldn't show if it's their own, if I end up seeing one of em d'tops in the networking lab that gets as messed up as they were 1 semester, I'm posting it Call that an example of what not to do, unless one likes the too cluttered to find anything look Ugh...

Not only was the d'top loaded with icons galore, and strewn about in any random order, but to get into the routers there were about 20 or more hyperterminal entries in the start menu as people kept making their own (non-descriptive) titles and no one would know which entry went to which location. The person who actually installed AO-Hell software on em computers, just about took the cake. All that was lacking, was renaming the names of many shortcuts, so one wouldn't easily see what progs they went too EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKK!!!!

I will say this much, after having seen that d'top on a number of comps in the classroom, I can appreciate a more minamalist approach, even if it is a bit more minamilist then I would make it myself...

It's a trade secret

It's easy. I took an image of my laptop. Then I got my desktop ready. Press "Prnt Screen". Go into Photoshop, paste the desktop into a new document. Then open up the laptop image. Resize the pasted desktop so that it is the size of the laptop screen. Place the desktop on top of the laptop screen.

That's a pretty sweet trick bro, I'm not that talented with Photoshop

To be honest with you, I'm sure even a complete beginner could pull it off. You've used Print Screen before right?

All you have to do is resize the image so that it is smaller and fits the Dell screen.

If you've used the drawing tools in Word, you can pull this off

My graphical talents are limited to Paint, which is actually a pretty powerful utility

 

[madmatt]

Sort of like this (took two seconds and looks crappy compared to o_____'s).

 

[kcnychief]

Still looks pretty neat though, cool concept

Work Desktop
VS: Energy Blue 1.0.8 (modified)
WP: Start Something

I took GM's idea because it was neat.

Looks good madmatt. you really like that wall huh?

 

[madmatt]

Andy, I love XP/Vista crosses and I absolutely love that wall. I wish it came in widescreen format.

Thank you.

 

[kcnychief]

I need some new wallpapers, where do y'all get them from?

 

[madmatt]

DA

 

[Not Bman]

What do you mean, where do we get them, there are so many places with good walls. That makes me think, we should have our own collection of wallpapers here on osnn.

Obviously, but I wasn't sure if you guys had favorite places. Like Deviant Art for example, sheesh :lick:

DA

Thanks madmatt, I figured that's where they came from.

 

[madmatt]

Or I get them from Andy. We have similar tastes.

 

[kcnychief]

I'll have to check that site out later when I get home, in about 10 hours :s
