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. http://image57.webshots.com/57/1/88/70/225...90JCIRoF_fs.jpg |
