Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Some time has passed since the last desktop thread. So step right up, take a picture of your desktop, and post away. (Preferably in a link or spoiler tags to avoid stretching the board.) Dikiyoba will start. (Original source of the wallpaper here.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Your link doesn't seem to be working, Excalibur... Here is my desktop: Tada! The wallpaper is something I picked up a long while ago from /wg. It's messier than I care for, so I've just spent a moment tidying it up.

Well-Actually War Trall Rowen Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I give you one guess as to what the theme of my desktop is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 hi I never use desktop icons, and I have two screens, one of which always has an ssh session open monitoring calref. My wallpaper also cycles though a bunch of pony wallpapers (currently nearly 100) at one per minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk The Loquacious Lord Grimm Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Behold. I like having what I'm currently writing about in my face on those rare occasions that the desktop is actually visible. Normally, Illustrator takes up the background.

Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I use no Desktop icons, but Wine generates some automatically. That results in the paradox that all icons on my Debian desktop are Windows programs. Also, I've abandoned Gnome in favor of LXDE on enki (the desktop). metis (laptop) still has Ubuntu 11.10 and Gnome 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Did you ever get TF2 playing nice with Wine? Because we still need to do some co-op, if you know what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 http://awos.ermarian...opss1172012.png I'm boring. I'm currently using one of the wallpapers that ships standard with Linux Mint 13, although I did make a custom color scheme to match it like I usually do with my wallpapers. I have a large collection of wallpapers, but right now I'm just using one of the standards. That little bar in the middle is there to remind me of where the top of the right monitor is, because the software doesn't recognize the full resolution of the right monitor for some reason, resulting in that monitor's display being stretched. I don't usually keep icons on my desktop other than the little bar (a file name of underscores with a custom blank icon) but I have that "doctor" text file there to remind me of the details of some upcoming doctor's appointments. Other icons are often there on a temporary basis however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 *looks at desktop to see if picture worthy* *notices files "Iffy's family.txt", "Sy past.txt", and "hair.txt"* <.< ... >.> *cleans up* *takes pic* Kids use this computer too and change the background on their own whims.

Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm not sure if I was using this background when I posted in the previous thread, but here it is. A friend took it while bussing through Italy. My desktop usually has a little more clutter on it, but I tend to clean it up when I'm procrastinating (like I am right now). It also has two additional drives in it when I'm at my desk.

Understated Ur-Drakon Tyranicus Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Okay, maybe this is a dumb question, but how do I post a picture of my desktop? On a PC, hit the Print Screen button in the keyboard, then paste the image into Paint and save it. On a Mac, hit Command-Shift-3 on your keyboard, and it will save a screenshot to your desktop.

Well-Actually War Trall Actaeon Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 You can use a free hosting site like photobucket to upload and link it, Triumph. For example. As I've observed before, the fact that I keep my desktop tidy tends to make my contributions to these threads fairly dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 On a Mac, hit Command-Shift-3 on your keyboard, and it will save a screenshot to your desktop. The act of observation changes that which is observed. (Please, no questions about quantum mechanics right now, though. I'm finished preparing my lecture a full two hours earlier than usual, and I want to forget the whole subject for a while, while I can.)

Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) I'm noticing several other TF2 players here... has this commonality been discussed? No but feel free to stalk me on steam "Future Wonderbolt" I also have two TF2 servers set up at be.calref.net port 27015 (MvM) and 27017 (Payload) as a demonstration to people of why they should throw money at me. Edited November 7, 2012 by Sylae the reason nobody has done so yet is because they're saving up lots of money to throw at me all at once, clearly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Trenton. Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Just because I didn't do this last time. Fluttershy is best pony, Scootaloo coming in close second. Plus there is a certain Pegasus in the tree backrounds, which makes this 20% cooler. I'm probably going to change it soon, so don't expect this to stay. It's been mine for months, so I need a bit of change anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 I look so dashing in that photo. Indeed. Shame it cuts off your feet, it always looks a bit silly when photographs do that. Dikiyoba, on the other hand, is obscured in one photo and looks about ready to dash headfirst into a file in the other. Dikiyoba just does not photograph well.
