They have one every week in OT, and rarely here, so i thought i'd set up this thread! 😉

(Blatently copied from the FDT in OT 😉)

UXTheme lets you use new skins in Windows XP.
Coolmon and StatBar put system info on Windows desktops.
GKrellM puts a system monitor bar on UNIX desktops.
Dockapps are another way to get system info on UNIX, if your window manager supports them. Electrode uses these.
Transparent is a program that can remove the solid color backgrounds from desktop icon labels on Win95/98/ME/NT/2K, allowing your wallpaper to show through.
Rainlender puts a calender on Windows desktops.
Desktop Weather puts weather info on Windows desktops.

Anyone who posts a drag-and-drop link will be dragged and dropped off of a 3-story building.

How to take a screenshot

Windows: Hit printscreen (not alt+printscreen or any other combo), then paste in paint, photoshop, etc. Then save as JPG or another browser-friendly format.
UNIX: Use The GIMP, ksnapshot, or the command import -window root filename.jpg.




Now, to start with, here's mine 🙂



Let's see yours! 🙂
 
posted this in the FDT too 😉

i recently started collecting fantasy fanart (I really like pencil/b&w sketches)
since StyleXP's demo had expired, I'd just left the boring old WinXP desktop, but just for you guys - I updated it a little.

PIC - thx Skoorb

the wallpaper is one of my favourite sketches by a fan of Warcraft III. It's the Tauren Chieftain & an excellent piece of work
 
🙂

Here's mine:

My desktop

As you can see, I don't like a lot of icons cluttering up the image. I put the wallpaper together from various pictures returned by JPL's Gallileo orbiter. I rather like it, myself. 🙂 See if you can name the moons. A free physics lesson from the race babes for first person to name them correctly. 😉🙂
 
The second moon from the top is called Europa 😉

2 down, 3 to go

EDIT: from the top:

- Io
- Europa
- Ganymede
- Callisto

When is the babes physics lesson?
 
I had a massive tidy up yesterday when i installed CoolMon! There were icons (mainly for games!) on about 1/3 of the desktop!

Even tho the CoolMon is the most space-taking thing, it is really subtle and nice to look at! And useful to see things like that in the past 22hrs i have downloaded 2gb from the net! :Q

Keep them coming guys (and girls 🙂)
 
Ok, if you really want to see my über-boring desktop, go to this link. 🙂

That is my main workstation, which goes by Zippus on my LAN, because it's faster than its (only) neighbor, my server, aka Servus.

Mine is pretty cluttered but it isn't as bad as it was before the latest reinstall of Windows 😉

My daughter deleted some of my icons. I also have GTAIII, Max Payne, Medal of Honor Allied Assualt, and Soldier of Fortune. 😀

 
linky Yep I'm only playing Madden 2003 when I'm not crunching. While we're linking pics, check out this protein I was folding for DF. It was folding for a LONG time. :Q
