An interesting thread, I'll start off with my desktop.






It's an axe, I use it to...hack at people

fraid mine has nothing on it other than sandra,seti and winmx i dont use wallpaper (uses some of the resources that seti could use) so its not worth posting
did have an interesting thought for a prank though
save the image of someones desktop and set it as the wallpaper on someones puter when they are away lunch etc (should really freak them on thier return )

DUE TO THE POSSIBLE SIZE OF THIS THREAD, AND THEREFORE THE CONNECTION PROBLEMS - PLEASE FOLLOW THE IDEA FOR A SOLUTION!

Please follow these rules:

1. once you have taken your screenshot - use PAINT (note - NOT photoshop) and resize it to around 800 x 600 and then SAVE it as a JPEG. This will make it around 50Kb per screenshot. USE paint, or if you HAVE to use photoshop - use a POOR quality setting, YOU CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE FOR THIS IDEA, as this will keep them SMALL in size (around 50kb instead of 200kb).

2. Once you have saved it, now RESIZE the picture AGAIN to around 250x175 or so. Then SAVE THIS AS A JPEG FILE AND CALL IT THUMB!!!!!

So then you have two files:
1. Desktop.jpg
2. Thumb.jpg

Now - use some nice coding from the forums to create the IMAGE of the thumb on the forum which is an ACTIVE LINK to the picture size. This will ensure that loading this thread will take seconds, EVEN for a 56k modem user.

See my example below



The code for this is (*subsitute square brackets instead of the curly ones)
{url=http://www.pathfinderstudios.com/desktop.JPG}{img=http://www.pathfinderstudios.com/thumb.JPG}{/url}

There we go, obviously change the links to YOUR host of pictures

please follow these guidelines if you wish to see this thread stay open at all.

I don't like busy desktops, too many icons hurt my eyes. Even this is a bit full for me, I think I'll knock it down to just the basics later..

cant quite make out that explorer shortcut there taw
looks like something about sheep or wetsuits
seriously your desk top is almost as plain as mine (blue background with no wallpaper )

I want to post mine but i cant, dont have any webspace to link to, but I'll tell you what the backround is : a cat sitting in a window with a rifle saying here doggy doggy
as for icons, my dad installed a new OS the other day (XP) and I dont have that much icons on it yet


Computers are machines that help use solve problems we wouldn't have if we didn't have computers!

Com - There were actually two threads (#1, #2) EXACTLY like this, which is why I didn't make one. Can't you use the search function? For shame! Still, here is my desktop;

a wonderful picture of Tawakalnian space superbatllecruisers destroying the Esquilaxian fleet before invading Orstralia V... it's nice to know you think of me every time you turn your pc on.

the horrible thing is, I actually had a dream about you the other night (yuk) but fortunatlely it wasn't one of THOSE dreams, it was all quite non-descript. Apart from the bit where you were pouring petrol onto my bed while I was fast asleep.
