Don't ask why there are in .doc and .ppt files.

Dark, and bare of games. I wish I had a better machine.

Did you guys shrink those...?

Anyway, colodia...that's one of the messiest desktops I've ever seen...


And Verghastinsel, I can see you're on a non-XP version of windows, so you can't get invisa-backgrounds on the icon text, but you can change it to a color that matches your background, you know....

Myspace did it for me. I'm sick of sites bitching about me using up their bandwidth. Figred myspace had too may teens already bitching up the site for them to pay any attention to me.

And yes. I use less than half of the shortcuts on the desktop.

My desktop. Kinda bare but I like it like that.... My winamp playlist on the right side of the screen with the player itself right above the taskbar.

Well lets see yours.

I'd put the image in here, but it's 960 by something after I shrunk it to like 70%, so... linkage...

And the black bar on one of the programs is to cover up the screen name of one of my friends.

Yea...80% of the programs I use don't go on the desktop even...

lolz

I have this folder, its called "???". Its full of all sorts of files that I know I downloaded or otherwise procured, but for the life of me I can't really remember what they're for/ can't be assed to find out. :D

Ja...I could do without them all, considering there's about four icons on there I use on a daily basis, for everything else I use my quick launch or Start Menu.

My desktop used to look like that. I took all the icons I didnt use and put them in my desktop icons folder, and put the ones I do use in my quicklaunch.

Hmmm...maybe I should do that. Hey! Then I could see my awesome Rammstein wallpaper!

Danke schon!

It helps that I'm a graphic designer for a living. ;)

BTW, I use Konfabulator for the nifty battery guage and weather forecast, if anyone was wondering.

Indeed it is awesome but not as awesome as my Nuclear power plant wallpaper. :D Seriously, just chuck all of them in there thats what I did... folders a mess but its out of sight out of mind. And am I the only one who doesnt use Fire Fox? >.<

I swear I did not notice the Rammstein wallpaper until it was pointed out by you right now. :D

I was seriously considering going to school for graphic design/animation myself. Do you find the market to be saturated? A friend of mine told me that its hard to find a job in the field becuase so many people want to do it.

It took me awhile to notice it too...

It's not as saturated as one might think. There's still a lot of jobs in the web design field...especially if you're multi-functional (design plus development or server administration). It also depends on where you live.

It's really the game design market that's getting saturated.

Really? From what I've heard, Bioware is just screaming for people right now. But thanks for the info. I'm thinking maybe I'll get my Bachelor's in Computer Systems first, and then maybe take another couple of years of design to beef up my resume. I'd love to get into digital animation, but you're right, its alot easier to get a good job when you have a wide array of training and skills. Of course, its all just speculation right now, but I'm 24, so I suppose if I'm going to do anything constructive with my life, it should be soon. ;)

So how do you do this on a Mac? :confused:

You're going to need to get yourself an image capture program. There's alot of freeware out there, just do a quick search and you should be able to find something no problem.

You're from Syracuse??? I'm assuming you've heard about the Michael Crook flack, eh? I was the first blogger to post that idiot's personal information and website history all over the net.

I still can't believe I gave that loser that much attention. :headbang:

http://edd8990.ecwhost.com/Pc-desktop.jpg <Thats how it looks now. Yeah, I need to change the theme... the mac look is so boring.

Unfourtunatly, I lost my uber cluttered one from pre-reformatting :( Imagine the above desktop, in all its 1,440*900 glory Covered in icons. I decided to reformat when there was no more room for icons on the screen!

That's a pretty nice desktop, I like it. :)

p.s: So that's what a Mac desktop looks like. :D

Nazz's is far too bright for my tastes. And I don't like how hard it is to differentiate every icon.

It is a bit bright--I've only had it up for a couple of days and I don't imagine it'll last for precisely that reason.

As to the icons, that's solved by the bar at the bottom--I rarely use anything that's actually sitting on the desktop.

i forgot how to take the screenshot of my desktop. Can someone help?

I have another ThinkPad T22 running Linspire 4.5, but I'm considering putting Fedora Core 3 (or 4) on it just so I can get more pre-compiled programs and drivers. I STILL can't figure out how to compile things correctly. :headbang:

*completely ignores rest of topic* That's a great playlist ... but to my knowledge Hammerfall never covered Metal Heart ... Are you sure that isn't just Accept? :p

Compiling is hard. Thats why I love apt. For the times I do not want to deal with apt, there is synaptic (sp?).

Here's my desktop image. (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/Anabasis/kukenantepui.jpg) These things formed the basis for the 'Land That Time Forgot' etc.

APT is short for Advanced Packaging Technology. It allows you to instal precompiled software of the web. Debian and Debian based (Linspire, Ubuntu, etc) use apt. It you use APT via Terminal (command prompt). Some distros come with a guide for APT (Ubuntu's Guide shows you how to install many applications with APT). Synaptic is basicly the free version of Linspire's Click N' Run, although its not quite as good. It uses APT to install packages for you. Its not as good as Click N' Run because it does not install all packages to the same folder, does not always create launchers (at least for Ubuntu). Sorry for going of topic.
