Just realised that we are missing a desktop screenshot thread. Keep the pictures to 1024*768 and lets see what you have got :)

I have just found this wallpaper and I really really like it. I have to kill the tellytubby xp taskbar with either litestep or something like that. Just reinstalled windows so thats my excuse :)

Come on all, lets have a look

I also want to make those icons smaller.... they annoy me. I am only running 1280*1024 which is part of the problem.

Too lazy to take a screeny: My desktop (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/Takhisis_uk/Cartoons%20and%20Artwork/AmyLeeEvanescence.jpg) Just imagine a recycle bin, My Docs, and My Computer in the bottom corner and a toolbar on autohide down the side

It normally get changed every few weeks or so but this ones been there probably close to 2 months now

I remember on another forum I visited once upon a time they'd have a monthly 'post your desktop' thread. Yes it was a bit of a geeky userbase where people tended to change everything down to their windows themes once a month. Even so, it was a great place to see some wallpapers or themes you might not have heard about and which you might want, so a rule was put on there that a screenshot should reference everything in the picture which someone might want to find...

Windows: BW, or 'Brushed Metal'.
Wallpaper: No idea, I can send if you drop me an email though.
Winamp skin: Dark_Materia

Wallpaper : I'll have to look this up tonight. Its off deviantart, but I can't remember who or what as I've used it every now and then for at least the last 2 - 3 years.

Theme: WindowBlinds from stardock, using I think its called Dogma4XP ? that provides most of the customisation, windows themes, icons etc. etc.

Marginally, but not nitceably, but it also depends on the GUI enhancer, it only occasionally flicks up into the 1% CPU usage area, and takes <17Mb of RAM with this theme running, even with its small alpha blends.

Without actually making a screenshot (I'm worn out due to having lurgy/flu for last few days) it is currently a Trivium album cover. Before that it was this:

Not so much the wallpaper it's all the other guff that goes on in the background like MS data grabbing, pretty lights, tricks & bits. I've stripped out my windows to bare bones with minimal services,processes & progs.
It's a head thing and keeps me competitive, i can't have anything else to worry about whilst i am killing.

Black Viper sucks and posts any tip he can get his hands on whether tested or not by him personally, Whatever you do DON'T try his Vista tweaks.
Bit harsh that as a year or so ago he was the man but it seems recently he hasn't as much time to fully test his tweaks.
Mine are mine alone and fully tested by me, having to budget and run a system to compete with the latest systems i have gradually worked my way through numerous pages on sites then tested them myself. Even though my system is dated i am usually first on a 64 man BF2 map with pings lower than 20. When i used to play source my pings were below 10 and usually around 4 believe it or not. Constantly got kicked for hacking or rates by crap players with crap set ups though, Pfffff.

Doing a guide would be really hard but when i am bored i will try.

Fancied a change, it appears to be by the same person who did a previous wallpaper of mine. It was in my general folder but I can't remember where it came from. Reminds me a lot of GiTS, Terminator etc

Here's mine at the moment. I don't see it very often as I'm usually doing stuff which obscures it - that's why there are no icons to clutter it up. I prefer to use the quick launch toolbar for stuff I use regularly. The taskbar is normally auto-hidden but is showing for the screenshot.

Linux, that's not UNIX! UNIX is supposed to be green text on a black background! :evil:

I did a project just recently that was moving the user authentication and DB2 database back-end to Kerberos authentication via Active Directory and Oracle on AIX. It was all C-based work, like going back in time 15 years but it was really enjoyable - real programming where it's about writing elegant, functional, solid code :cool:

The only thing I didn't like was the new keyboards IBM provide with their AIX boxes - no micro-switched 5kg slabs of metal and plastic anymore, they're all like normal flyweight, spongy crap PC keyboards :(

Kainz uses Digsby: http://www.digsby.com/?utm_campaign=new_n&utm_content=new&utm_medium=new&utm_source=new
He even says it in his post :p

Time for a refresh :)

Hanso theme bundles with Ubuntu Karmic, Gnome-Do running as Docky, MotionWood (http://neodesktop.deviantart.com/art/MotionWood-Wallpapers-133685690) wallpaper.

Not 100% happy with some of the theme colours - blue text on a brown background in the FF awesome bar for example - but it's a pretty nice place to be :)
