    It's time again for that forum classic, post your desktop!

    this should hopefully be self-explanatory.



    in case it's not, post a screen grab of your desktop.





    The icons are from a converted Mac OS X theme called BBX Platinum, and the desktop is out of that propellers thread omi posted at some point.

    Martian:

    I'm getting a picture not found there.

    (I also reserve this spot to post my desktop when I get home).

    It doesnt exist?

    Youz link be down.

    The amount of icons I have on my desktop prohibits me from posting a screenshot. It has to violate some decency standard.

    Hopefully at the lake. Miss that place terribly in the winter.
    I'm rather iconoclastic myself.

    Here's the background I use. These are Battlezone 2 combat hovercraft designed and painted by my pal Slaor - he's quite talented. (Apologies for size)

    Hah, that's pretty slick. Ask him if he's interested in modelling or skinning some WW2 tanks for Blitz!

    Hmm...my desktop is cheesy and badly designed. The only thing it has going for it is that it's a photo of my girlfriend. Hence, I won't be posting it without her permission...

    lol @ bnonn. He's just showing off that he has a gf.

    I've seen that desktop, and must say it needs work...

    Take that how you will.



    that's my current one. Anar Rinde is my clan here in New Zealand, of which Bnonn is also a member. The two logos are the q3 OSP logo and the ut2k3 logo, two games I play. Bnonn kciks my arse in q3, but we're even atm in ut2k3, at least some of the time.

    Oh and the ut2k3 screenie is of about the second game I've won online, so I suppose if Bnonn can pimp his gf, then I can pimp my screenie.

    q:

    btw bnonn, show your sig for all teh ppl to see.

    My sig really should be displaying. It was before. Maybe evil vB demons turned it off to irritate me.

    And if you have any suggestions on improving my desktop I'd be happy to hear them...I just got totally stuck with it, as you can tell.

    The more astute among you will notice this is the exact same pic I uploaded a few months ago when Xypher created a threat about desktops. That's because nothing at all has changed. In fact I've had the same desktop and Winamp skin for over a year now. Hurrah. \o/

    rc mad and Murph are winning so far.

    I can't be bothered to post mine...it's got the HW2 concept art with the corvette thing going toward the star (like retroboy's current avatar) and toolbars/windows are dark grey-blue, black and white. And I don't have nearly the amount of crap some of you guys have...

    The image from this site entitled "Matsu" (#23 in the paintings gallery) is currently on my gaming computer.

    I'd rather put the color image featured here as desktop, but m' beloved puritanical ma would get offended at me.

    The old image with the yak is still valid on my P-800. Everybody forgets I'm a farmer and thinks "Manure Application Logs," "Synergy Farm Accounts" and "Spartan CropWare" are some sort of gag icons...

    Yes, pbase is quite useful and it's free. I'm pretty sure that's a felony in Canada, but oh well.

    I can't remember where I got the desktop, it's from a link I found here, I think. Time to replace it.

    Mac, I find it hard to picture Dyntheos as a potbellied angel with its wings glued on upsidedown.

    No offense, Dyn.

    Actually in RL most womens breasts are not perfect matches. So you would see a difference (when they are naked).

    Blu: Some nights NIN is all I listen to, other nights I diversify. That shot was simply taken on the latter. \o/

    Xyph: I don't think you have enough browsers installed.

    use tweakUI to remove the Recycle Bin, and tweak several other annoying winXP things.

    Thanks Mnementh, I found an alternate site as well with several sizes here

    (edit)
    bungie is a better choice though I noticed "my link" doesn't have the subtle Halo 2 title on the top.

    I've got the same background image as mnementh, dyn's xp style, and vijils icons (that bottom folder has a different name).

    nova: was using that background until a month ago when I switched over to the current one. can't remember where it came from either.
