Crazy and Wild Desktops!

I figure, just 'cuz, there should be a topic to look at people's purdy desktops! I got the idea at anime club when I noticed Carolina's desktop toggled through various wallpapers (which would be hard to fit all of them I guess...).

Aaanyways, thought it'd be a cool idea to post a screencap (Hold Printscreen for a second or two, open up MS paint, paste, save, open your favorite photo-editing program, open the bitmap, resize to your liking [generally halving or quartering should preserve the image as best as possible], save as a JPEG, or if your pressed for space a .gif mayhaps.. or whatever. Upload somewhere and link to it!) of my desktop and see what other people posted as well.

I run my desktop at 1600x1200 native res, using WindowBlinds to manage themes, single wallpaper (as seen with the attached link).

Due to an infectious disease my computer caught, it's being mean and not showing me a background. x.x I'll stalk Khalahd sometime and see if I can't get some help... >.>

Anyhow, this was the image that USED to show up, and I guess I can post a few seeing as how my desktop is broken anyhow. ~sniffles~ So you guys won't be able to see my actual desktop, just the pic behind it all.

i use wallpaper changer.

http://wallpaperchanger.de/

it doesnt take up a lot of cpu and it lets you create lists of walls to cycle from and such.

i'm not the best at photoshop, but I do a pretty good job if i try hard. I could teach you if you want, i've got photoshop cs on my computer (although it's a bit quirky due to an unfortunate patch of idiocy on my part) and i could teach you how to use it :D!

Desktops are fun. I have a bunch of random ones just saved up from my hours of delving the interweb.

The one I got now is cool but kinda creepy too.

I run my comp at a 1920 x 1200 resolution, and often have a lot of things running (My poor computer.....I ask SO much of it......It's always overheating and running out of Memory.....). Attached is a more busy type of usual desktop for me (at a decreased size, since I doubt many people run their comps at my res). I don't always run G-Force V-Bar, or the Google Desktop Sidebar since both are CPU/Memory hogs, but I like to sometimes, anyways. I use Windowblinds, though I don't often switch up my themes often. In terms of Wallpaper, I go and switch it up manually fairly often. It's usually either an Anime WP, a EuroPowerMetal WP, or a Fractal WP which I created myself. Right now it's a WP of Midori-Chan from Mai-HiME!

Mine is a bit odd... it's a stretched out version of a poster me and some friends made for English class, all part of a big quarter project which culminated in making a movie. But we took ours almost over-serious, t'was fun.
