Show your desktop! (Picture)

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

Let's see what kind of 'puter you keep. (Just bored, and looking for personality clues from all you fine folk!)



In reality, I have a folder with about 2,000 desktop graphics. I switch to a new one every couple days. FYI, the program I used to capture my desktop is an ancient version of Lview Pro released when Win95 was current. Sometimes older is better!

:-)

[Kamika]

3. Thats a great backround picture

My desktop is a big mess, i dont think i should post it :)

Why not just use printscreen to get it ?

[HEyHEY]

13. VERY cool

Although I recommend you ditch KaZaa and go with KaZaa Lite if you want to add more spyware immunity. :-)

[lcordero]

17. have you tried emule or shareaza yet?

[JasonBerry]

32. Hey, Nomad!

What shell are you using? Have you tried 3DNA? It is incredible...has different "worlds" you can launch your programs from - all in 3D. Need a really good graphics card and lots of memory. Here's a couple of screenshots from their site:

[Dudley_DUright]

11. Nice

Mine is a Hubble Space Telescope photo of the Cartwheel galaxy (the large photo on the right) which is a remnant of a collision between a large and a small galaxy.

[Nomad559]

14. Hubble

Prisoner_Number_Six .. I do use KaZaa Lite, I just renamed the shortcut Icon, I also removed the little shortcut arrows.

[Drifter]

15. 2 things are stopping me ...

The first is that I'm too lazy to look into a file hosting site.
The secound is that I have a picture of my 3 beautiful daughters as my background (I think you understand). Close your eyes and imagine 3 beautiful blonde hair girls ages 14, 9 today, and 4.

Ok stop imagining you pervert (just kidding)

Cheers
Drifter

16. .Mine's boooooring -

[Ivory_Tower]

18. Looks like mine

I used to have a great shot of galaxies taken by Hubble, but recently I've been remote-accessing my PC, and it takes forever to transfer the wallpaper, so I got rid of it.

I might have to try some other wallpaper sometime.

[Madrone]

21. I'm kind of "over" the picture thing...

at least for awhile. No picture, no screensaver. I guess after having a computer with a "cutesy" picture for so long I am into the minimalist look - NOW, if only my house could take it upon itself to follow suit :)

I still have a ton of programs I haven't even installed from the last time I formatted - office, photoshop, antivirus, etc - I guess when I need them I'll install them. (yes, I know antivirus would probably qualify as a "need" for most people - :))

[scarlet_owl]

19. I don't know how to post my desktop,

but it's a Harry Potter screenshot from the first movie. It shows Harry and Hedwig.

[Champion Jack]

20. here's mine

.

[opiate69]

22. Here's what's on mine...

[SiobhanClancy]

23. This is the picture on mine

Michael Collins,in case anybody doesn't know:)

[Dookus]

24. Mine is Dave Beckham...

evidently doing cheesy 70's gay porn:

[opiate69]

25. OK.. I'm officially out of the loop....

Maybe I do live in a cave... but... who the hell is Dave Beckham? I hear the name all the time, but have no friggin' clue who he is....:shrug:

[Wolfman 11]

26. he's Posh Spice's husband.

he also plays soccer some.

[opiate69]

27. Aha!

No it becomes clear.. thanks! :toast:

[Kamika]

30. He's ONLY

one of the most gorgeous men ALIVE,

also hes married to posh spice and plays soccer for England(hes one of the best players).





:loveya:

[opiate69]

35. LOL..

well, then there's 3 reasons for me to not know him... I'm a straight male, who hates "pop" culture and is apathetic towards soccer...to each his own, though...

[VolcanoJen]

29. Yummy pic, Dookus!

:loveya:

[Webster Green]

28. I like a tidy desktop

No kidding, I'm fanatical about it.

[electricmonk]

31. Mine

I have a dual monitor set-up so I cropped most of #2 off to keep the pictire from being too wide here. I make my own desktop
images in 3d programs or from my own photos and usually change it every few weeks.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

33. Terragen?

I've been known to play with that one off and on... kinda fun, creating your own worlds!

[electricmonk]

34. Yeah that's what did this one

It can be addictive when you start messing around with it. I also use Bryce and a couple others I mess around with too, wish I could afford Maya.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

39. I have Bryce 5

and I've looked at Maya, but I prefer 3DS Max. Guess it's just because I started using it first, and got used to it. It had its beginnings in the same company that created Autocad, and I've used that a lot for landscape design. I've also looked at Lightwave, but it's a bit difficult for me.

[electricmonk]

44. I just dabble with the 3d stuff

Would definitely like to learn more about them. Especially how to do photorealistic human forms. Saw a book at the store a few weeks ago that had some amazing examples and tutorials in it but it was 50 bucks so it's still in the store and not my bookcase.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

36. Mine changes every few hours... I have everything from the

Matthew Brady Civil War photos, to Hubble Images, and lots and lots in between.

[Rabrrrrrr]

37. Also a stickler for reduced clutter on the desktop:

[alfredo]

38. A little Mac/X11 action

That is GIMP, a UNIX image app that is also available for Windows (free).
http://www2.arnes.si/~sopjsimo/gimp/

The desktop image was from my front yard then trotted through Photoshop.

[elcondor]

40. My background

Y'all may think I have weird taste but . . . :loveya:

[Deja Q]

41. I need to do some more work, but how's this for a desktop IN a desktop?

:D

[_NorCal_D_]

42. Good idea Prisoner_Number_Six!

Here is my messy, boring desktop!

[LTR]

43. Here's mine

Okay, I'm boring.

Just kidding. I changed it since to another Microsoft one:



I also created a unique one with the top one ('Bliss'). Added my cats and dog into it, along with some grazing sheep. I jsut reloaded my system, and am still searching for it. I'll post it when I find it.

[midnight armadillo]

45. I have the best one!!

Me and my son (born 9/25) when he's less than a day old :party:

[youngred]

46. that's so great

you have a very cute son. congrats

[Book Lover]

55. Who's a cute baby!!

I am one of those people who says every baby is beautiful, and your child is a real cutie! :-)

[BlueJazz]

47. My present one

I change often.

[newyawker99]

48. Here is mine....I change the backround ever day.

[rppper]

49. current one...

i change them day to day....

[catpower2000]

51. Um, kay...

Here's my current one, just switched it a few days ago...




I don't know how I get any work done at all...

[GregW]

52. I have the best picture of all!

When I look at my desktop all I see are your happy, smiling faces looking back at me!

(Apologies for the space-saving, low-res, color-reduced, unsharp-masked screenshot of my desktop)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

53. Here's my Desktop...

It changes with the seasons and holidays...
