Neat desktop!

Weirdly, I was just thinking of starting this thread up again, so I just took a screenshot of my desktop.
This is it.

Except the icons aren't usually all highlighted, of course, but I thought it looked better that way

G3K · « **Reply #2 on:** July 15, 2004, 09:08:02 PM »

Since my desktop is boring, I decided to add a couple of captions. Here.

Lem'ka> I couldn't access yours :

Andi> Nice wallpaper... I could have actually had a t-shirt with a similar design, but I was skint at the time :/

Lemika · « **Reply #3 on:** July 16, 2004, 01:45:08 PM »

It works just fine for me. :

Interesting captions, those.

Lemeri · « **Reply #4 on:** July 16, 2004, 05:05:34 PM »

It works for me...

My free image hosting is down, so I can't put mine... &#A0;

EDIT:
I hosted it on my own, so here it is...

That's a screenshot of the burning Skaarj mother ship. I was blue team.

... Lucky stiff.

Anyways, it looks neat

G3K · « **Reply #6 on:** July 18, 2004, 08:38:03 PM »

After reformatting... there's barely any changes.

Liebatron · « **Reply #7 on:** July 22, 2004, 03:55:26 AM »

mine is the picture of yoshi in the avatar selection box where you choose an avatar.

(the green thing in my signature)

Lemika · « **Reply #8 on:** July 24, 2004, 10:36:57 PM »

That's your desktop? O_O

G3K · « **Reply #9 on:** July 24, 2004, 11:08:20 PM »

L'K> I think he meant it was his wallpaper.

Looking a lot cooler these days. There's a bit of a story behind the wallpaper which I'll explain in due course.

Timballisto · « **Reply #10 on:** July 25, 2004, 01:02:39 AM »

Heh...I have a desktop to show y'all, I just need to get it off of my dad's computer. I drew it myself, and in my opinion, it looks... B)

Liebatron · « **Reply #11 on:** July 26, 2004, 03:07:14 AM »

yep. i used the yoshi picture for my wallpaper.

G3K · « **Reply #12 on:** August 06, 2004, 02:24:02 PM »

Warning, ridiculously big... 1.1MB.

Spiffy though.

...wow. Do you run a two-monitor system?

Yes I do!

Andi · « **Reply #16 on:** August 06, 2004, 07:59:28 PM »

Welcome! Looks like another UT2004 player, huh?

Lemika · « **Reply #17 on:** August 10, 2004, 07:05:20 PM »

Yeah, welcome

I changed the desktop in my gaming profile. Why? Because the color scheme of the other one rendered it impossible to type sometimes O_O

Mr. K · « **Reply #18 on:** August 10, 2004, 07:23:27 PM »

I just made some new wallpaper and slapped it on with a matching Windowblinds skin.

EDIT: Whoops! Made it a link, it won't show up in the page now.

I recently changed it to that.

i might change my desktop soon......naaaah

Timballisto · « **Reply #21 on:** August 20, 2004, 03:28:43 AM »

Hey, wait a sec.... Lem'ka, why does your Populous icon look like a yellow bow tie? :-/

Liebatron · « **Reply #22 on:** August 20, 2004, 03:31:02 AM »

i had no idea how to get a new desktop i just sorta clicked on things and the end result was a yoshi desktop.

Andi · « **Reply #23 on:** August 20, 2004, 08:44:29 AM »

I just set Just 4 Fun my desktop wallpaper to Yoshi, too. But it look's kinda... not good. :-(

That's the icon for the new matchmaker client the Gabber cooked up when the normal lobby went down. I don't know exactly why that symbol was chosen, but it wasn't me who chose it

Lemeri · « **Reply #25 on:** August 20, 2004, 02:25:01 PM »

I thinks it's supposed to be a radioactive symbol.

G3K · « **Reply #26 on:** August 22, 2004, 02:51:03 PM »

Lemeri · « **Reply #27 on:** August 22, 2004, 02:55:27 PM »

Not too bad. What is it supposed to be? A mushroom?

Andi · « **Reply #28 on:** August 22, 2004, 03:22:07 PM »

Mushrooms... MUSHROOMS! These specific MUSHROOMS!

G3K · « **Reply #29 on:** August 22, 2004, 04:08:26 PM »

Yep, they're 'shrooms alright.

Lemeri · « **Reply #30 on:** August 23, 2004, 02:57:43 AM »

There's some kind of story behind this, right?

Lemika · « **Reply #31 on:** September 26, 2004, 11:50:27 PM »

I dredge this topic from the grave to rejuvinate it with inhuman sacrifice.

My new desktop.

I felt I needed a change. I'd had my previous one up for... a whole month O_O

Louise · « **Reply #32 on:** September 27, 2004, 12:28:51 AM »

Neat. I don't see any rats, though.

The latest tomfoolery. Or lack of tomfoolery.

Andi · « **Reply #35 on:** September 27, 2004, 03:02:07 PM »

Very clean, G3K.

L'K, you play Neverwinter Nights? (or was it Knights? Damn, I forgot ^^;) Anyway, it's an MMORPG, isn't it?

Lemika · « **Reply #36 on:** September 27, 2004, 05:52:28 PM »

You were right. It's Nights. And yes, I do. I just started, really -- and all I've done so far is the single player. You can play it single player as well.

G3K · « **Reply #37 on:** September 28, 2004, 11:44:44 PM »

Yey for laptops.

For the uninitiated, my mum recently got a laptop for her college work, which when she's not using is quite thoroughly mine.

Nice system, Pentium M 1.7GHz with a gigabyte of RAM, ATi Radeon graphics and wireless networking capabilities... now I should be able to play UT from even the most remote farm (assuming it's a wireless-enabled farm, of course)

AAAHHH!!!! That's so sweet! Normally, it's pretty hard to get me to say something like that. There's just something about small rodents which makes me crack up... By the way, is that rat yours?

Isu · « **Reply #40 on:** April 04, 2005, 07:35:30 PM »

I'd post mine but I dont know how to

Conway · « **Reply #41 on:** April 05, 2005, 01:01:44 AM »

Press print-screen, paste into Paint, or any other imaging software, save onto system, upload to a server/file hosting site.

edit:

Not sure if I've posted this desktop before, but here it is anyway.

PNGs (for high-speed connections):

Plain desktop
Desktop with start menu
Desktop with window

JPGs (for lower-speed connections):

Plain desktop
Desktop with start menu
Desktop with window

The background has actually been streched, due to the wide aspect ratio of the screen resolution. Here is the original.

Timballisto · « **Reply #47 on:** April 06, 2005, 09:41:49 AM »

I don't quite get it, but, here is what I think of XP's stupidity,

XP "MWAHAHA! &#A0;FOOLS! &#A0;I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE! &#A0;MORE MEMORY!!!!"

GENERAL PEPPER "Star Fox, we have an emergency! &#A0;XP is alive...and he's launched an attack against Corneria! &#A0;Enemy forces have sortied from XP's motherships and carriers are heading towards Corneria. &#A0;They've also built bases on several planets, and are firing IPBMs at Corneria. &#A0;Your help is crucial! &#A0;Corneria can take some hits, but with excessive damage, we will fall! &#A0;Protect Corneria, and wipe out XP's army! &#A0;We're counting on you, Star Fox!

G3K · « **Reply #48 on:** April 06, 2005, 01:11:19 PM »

Close, it's comparing Windows 95 and Windows XP's memory needs.

<3 Crazy Japanese people with too much free time

Timballisto · « **Reply #49 on:** April 06, 2005, 07:22:55 PM »

Yep, XP stinks. Why?...who knows. What's with the "bam" coming out of the bowl of...rice memory XD ?

Oh, and guess what game the above dialogue is from.

(replace all XP's with Andross, and take out the top line entirely).

Conway · « **Reply #50 on:** April 06, 2005, 09:03:09 PM »

I don't really see what the complaint is against XP, except it can't run LemEdit properly. But it's silly comparing its memory requirements to that of 95, because all PCs being released now with XP have at least 256MB of ram. But back in the days of Windows 95 and 98 they didn't have really complex programs or operating systems that require more than 64MB. So it's okay making progressively more complex software, as long as equivalently powerful hardware is available to accommodate it.

Andi · « **Reply #51 on:** April 07, 2005, 05:24:50 PM »

But it would have been possible to make winXP needing less Megs of RAM.

Windows 95 was made to run on a 386 at 4 MB RAM.

Timballisto · « **Reply #52 on:** April 07, 2005, 07:10:11 PM »

They sell gig ram sticks now, don't they?

Conway · « **Reply #53 on:** April 07, 2005, 07:52:34 PM »

Yeah, and the next version of Windows will probably need them!
