Re: Desktop Background
That's absolutely disgusting. I couldn't live with all those icons. For starters, they ruin the wallpaper!

I know... I'm going to clean it up once it reaches the rightmost boarder of my big screen which is...

I'll put up a new screen once I clear it off.

Re: Desktop Background
I really haven't used desktop icons since I got a new computer, I mostly just got through the start menu; also the manufacturers put in a dock for the desktop (a la Apple), which I use occasionally.
Re: Desktop Background
too busy with other things... cleaning my desktop has been a rather low priority ever since namowrimo started. (The reason it gets so messy is because I save scanned art and youtube vids - I have a big collection of random cute puppies and video game remixes, and just funny videos - right to it, and then... don't bother to put it elsewhere for a while.) - so after a week or two it would be all bad and messy again. Actually, by the end of today, I would not be surprised if I would need to clean it due to having run out of space.Dubiousity wrote:Or you could clean it now.

Well if having too many videos linked is one of the problems then make a youtube account and fav them, easy!Avan wrote:too busy with other things... cleaning my desktop has been a rather low priority ever since namowrimo started.

Re: Desktop Background
No, these are the actual flv and mp4 files from youtube's servers. Now I can watch them off-line because my internet sucks in the evening (everyone at the uni trying to access it at once)!Dubiousity wrote:Well if having too many videos linked is one of the problems then make a youtube account and fav them, easy!Avan wrote:too busy with other things... cleaning my desktop has been a rather low priority ever since namowrimo started.

Oh, backgrounds, they're so background-y.

Re: Desktop Background
O_O What is that counter at the top left and where did you get it?!
Re: Desktop Background
I would believe that is Rocketdock.
I don't know if thats a different skin than the normal one though

Re: Desktop Background
What program/utility are you using for that on-screen text? I can't recognize it. And what else can it show? I'm getting a bit tired of the same old gadgets for so long.TheBlackParrot wrote:ReCreate wrote: Windows 7 Ultimate :>

Re: Desktop Background
The wallpapers? No. Frooxius did. I used his template for the one with my fursona (to see how'd it look, he's going to recreate it, this time correctly and with shading, and pun not intended) and I only made the one with the equation entirely on my own.

Re: Desktop Background
The stuff at the top is Samurize.
It's not meant for Windows 7, but it runs OK. I just had to install it with compatibility mode. :s
I also docked it up there.

It's quite similar to Rainmeter, but it's a lot easier to make custom meters and stuff.
I also made the taskbar higher and forced Samurize to stay on top of everything.
I'll link to the .ini I'm using for the meters and text if you want. Made it myself too.

If you don't mind sending me the links in a PM, thanks
