[ElectroTism]

[InvisibleDuncan]

I quite like mine, and the good thing here is: unlike me, you lot can appreciate it without the fingerprints all over it. :)

[chrismitchell]

nice bg InvisibleDuncan... nice to see that people still use just the blue background.

[nullus]

well, i'd like a better pic, but i can never be bothered to go look for one. :rolleyes: where did you get yours Duncan?

my home pc had a nice pic of Sam Janus on, but that got old.

[InvisibleDuncan]

I took that myself on the way to this planet... :D

Actually: www.digitalblasphemy.com

He's got quite a few good ones with different versions of each depending on your screen res.

[chrismitchell]

unfortunately digitalblasphemy there is a limited amount of images.. unless you join .. then there are loads of them.

[nullus]

:D

[Wynd]

I have the least icons possible :)

Bugger. Spotted that, did you? :rolleyes:

In my defence, this is only temporary until we've converted the last of our users off 95, because we need to be sure all our developments work. After that, I'll reach the dizzy heights of (...drum roll...) NT!

We're not a very forward thinking company... :o

[Geoff Gunson]

Here's my desktop, no matter how pissed off I feel it always makes me chuckel. (for the initiated the face is "Trigger" from only fools and horses)

[filburt1]

How did you get that calendar? :eek:

[spetnik]

http://www.webshots.com they have awesome desktops and theres an option 4 the calendar which updates every day. I started it here at work, and now everyone has it.

[filburt1]

Ew, these are pathetic compared to Digital Blasphemy. :(

[scoutt]

why even have a desktop wallpaper if you have so many shortcuts that cover it all up. how can you find anything in that mess. :D:D:D

[filburt1]

I have only four icons on my desktop:


Arien's Computer (I renamed it)
Network Neighborhood (renamed from the stupid "My Network Places")
Arien's Stuff (Renamed from My Documents)
Recycle Bin (didn't rename it but changed the icon :))


I store only quick downloads and temporary files there.

[scoutt]

well here is a linux one. I just set it up so I haven't had time to clean it up yet.

[filburt1]

Eww, KDE. *gag*

[scoutt]

well yeah... I use both. :D

[scsa20]

here's my desktop (needs some cleaning but I don't care :D )

now now there is no need to be sooo vulgar. you might hurt someones feelings with that kind of attitude. :D:D or you just might offend someone....... like me :p

you just don't like them because they took away your Mp3's :D:D



Metallica RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scsa20]

not just about napster, but I don't like there songs (it's just me, might not be for anyone else).

[kedaman]

I never used napster, but I think their songs suck

[chrismitchell]

everyone is entitled to have their opinion... :)

[kedaman]

Yep

[MidgetsBro]

Here's mine... and Metallica does rule! I like their old stuff... the new stuff, from Load to S&M, is for wusses. Anyway... here's my desktop...

[nullus]

i used to like metallica, but now they're old tat :p

[kedaman]

i got a funny background(ok maybe not that funny but cool anyway) but then thought i wouldn't want to put that on a family site like this, so it's on my site instead
http://www.abo.fi/~ksugii/vbworld/

[plenderj]

My desktop's not all that exciting ...

http://www.coolground.com/plenderj/untitled.zip

[nabeels786]

hey kedaman, whats the cool LEDs for above teh start menu? lots of programs open :) win xp?

i only like metallicas stuff before teh black album(i like only 2 songs on the black album)

[kedaman]

Bearshare

[nabeels786]

ohh ok

[Technocrat]

Here is mine. Can anyone name (real names) everyone shown here? 3 are same woman.

[parksie]

LOL :D

Love the way some of those icons are positioned ;)

[kedaman]

HEhe ;) That's another way to handle it :)

[Technocrat]

Don't want the censors to get me

[parksie]

I'd like to handle that sometime...

[nabeels786]

haha

[plenderj]

Ooo ooo your one in the top left. I loike her.
She was in that james bond movie with the short skirt.

My girlfriend's allowing me to sleep with her if I ever get the chance ;)

[Technocrat]

Oh sorry, try again.
I will give you a hint, she is not a movie star, but she is famous.

[Technocrat]

Oh and don't feel bad, no one that I know has been able to get them all. One person got all of them except her, so she is tuff.

[plenderj]

Denise Richards

[Technocrat]

:rolleyes: I gave you the hint she is not a movie star and you guessed Denise Richards?

[plenderj]

Well I just couldnt remember the name before.
And the other woman across the top ... well top right 2 anyway is the girl from Buffy the vampire slayer and Angel.

mmmm :)

[Technocrat]

Yep, its actually 3 pictures of her.

Here real name is Charisma Carpenter.

HHHHHMMMM Charisma Carpenter

Well you have got one right, only 6 more to go. The one on the bottom right is a little hard to see, but she is a real easy one.

[plenderj]

Right so top left Denise Richards.
Next 3 Charisma Carpenter.

Bottom right looks like the woman from Xena warrior princess... kind of ... much better looking though.

I also recognize the woman to the left of her.

But thats it :(

I have the same agreement with my wife about Charisma Carpenter.

She seems strangely confident that she's never going to have to honour that, though. :rolleyes:

[Technocrat]

:rolleyes: :mad: :rolleyes: :mad: :rolleyes: :mad:

Ok is Denise Richards an actor? Ok Actress sorry. You should be knodding your head yes. Then that would mean she is not the one in the top left.

So you got Chrisma and Lucy Lawless (Xena). You now have 4, which is not bad.

[plenderj]

The girl in the top left is so denise richards.
Proof :

http://www.deniserichards.com/

I'd bet my right nut-saq that thats her.

[ElectroTism]

desktop: (sorry.. had to use 16 colors.. bah! damn 100k limit)

[filburt1]

Good ol' Digital Blasphemy. :)

[Technocrat]

Then you better chop it off right now and mail it to me. Ship it over night so I will have it by tomorrow. I bet someone on EBay would buy it.

It's my wallpaper, I made it, I know who it is, and it's not Denise Richards.

I will give you the fact that they look alike, but she is not Denise.

[PsychoMark]

Very basic desktop... (with my favourite color, the Windows 2000 default desktop color :D)


[commercial break] notice the nice start button? just click the link in my signature :p [/commercial break]

[zmerlinz]

well here is mine, i have had this one for some time now, but i still like it, i have hidden the icons because you wouldn't be able to see the picture then :P

http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/zmerlinz/desktop.jpg

[barrk]

WOW! That is breathtaking!!!!

[parksie]

Yeah, WOW is the word! :D

[scoutt]

that is pretty cool ;)

[zmerlinz]

thanks Katie, that is what i thought when i first saw it :)

[zmerlinz]

though i would like to know what all of the words going horizontally up the left hand side say :)

[chrismitchell]

If it was done in any Photoshop style program it is easy as hell to do.... all you do is rotate the text... simple :)

[zmerlinz]

yeah i know that it would be easy to rotate the text, i am just curious to what the text actually says :)

[chrismitchell]

From what I can tell it says this :

There is a dimension just outside the realm of the known universe where the deadly creatures known as the Fallen....
Here in a place called Cosmos these creatures exist for the sole purpose of war, recording the events of the multiverse.
The fallen do not have individual ideas and instead are known amply as the .....

[zmerlinz]

cheers, it is a little hard for me to read as my monitor is playing up again!! (the colours keep changing)

but i think on the last line, it is "simply" not amply

[chrismitchell]

I don't know... half of the word are going off the page anyway... nice bg though :)

[zmerlinz]

thanks :D
