Thread: Post Your Desktop

Oh and this is mine!! I love my PC



And I love this

Adam, that's RocketDock. I use it to keep all my shortcuts on; it's like a free, Windows version of Mac's dock.


And where did you get that wallpaper? I must have it...

You must have it?

A please goes in there somewhere :p

Here you go buddy: http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/9...clouds2jh0.jpg

Oh. Right. Please.


And thank you!

Adam's background is ballin to the wallin. That is all.

Tacgnol vs Longcat

Awesome deaktop TweaK, Man of Steel I cannot thank you enough for pointing out that menu thing stolen from Apple.

And a double post for Goldney:

its like a mirror.

actually. maybe in the morning.

not once ive done my hair.

Have you drawn a picture of your desktop Carôusoul? I vaguely recognise it from your drawings.

Goldney I see you've been browsing the "More icons" thing for RocketDock too, haha. I have the same MSN icon. Different firefox one though. I have one in the same style of MSN. Alas, screenshots:

RocketDock setup (realsize)
^ I have it this big because I have two 20" monitors, each running at 1600x1200. Therefore, I have plenty of space. Figured I'd make it nearly as big as the screen, in width. From left to right, icons:
- RocketDock icons directory
- Music directory
[Seperator]
- Notepad (for PHP/HTML)
- Word
[Seperator]
- MSN
- mIRC (only one I have an ugly icon for)
- Windows Live Mail Desktop
- Firefox
- WAMP
- PuTTy (quickly made an icon myself)
[Seperator]
- Photoshop CS2
- iTunes, for iPod management (hence the green iPod nano v2 image, which is what I have)
[Seperator]
- Windows I minimized

Primary Screen
^ Stuff. Main screen.

Secondary Screen
My second screen in all its glory, including the RocketDock. I love it. Thanks MoS.

Edit
Ugh, I see my main/secondary screen screenshots are 2.5 MB each. I'll work some magic here. Give me some minutes.

Edit Edit
Done and done. Resized to 1024x768 (and the other 1024x767, but oh well), changed 'em from PNG to lossless JPG and they're magically only 500 KB.

Yeah it's pretty boring, but what can you expect from a second hand Laptop from Ebay?

Spice it up a bit I'd say.

Mine are always quite dull.

Alex that's excellent

Aye Alex that is good. Jdeadevil, there are a load of sites which specialize in wallpapers, there easy to find and free. Also, I noticed you're quite a Pokémon Gold addict, do I count 12 icons?

TweaK do you want my mIRC icon? You can't see in the picture but it has IRC written underneath it.

Yeah, I also took a few pictures of Pokemon Gold, and I'll get rid of that stupid Registry thing, making a pattern thing,,,,

Is that it? That little thing? Because that... sucks. Terribly. Really hard.

Well, I never. In all my days I have never been so insulted. Good day to you sir.

Anyway, I noticed that you have two moniters (being the observant chap that I am) do you need any equipment to hook them up together other than the leads that come with it?

A video card that has two input plugs for monitors, obviously. Or if it doesn't have one, a device that turns one into two. That's it. Linux/OSX/Windows (whatever floats your boast) does the rest for you, pretty much.

Okay thanks.

Why, my apprentice, will you get yourself some dual monitor sweetness?

I would love to. However there are two problems:
1. Current desk is too small
2. Non-matching moniters.

Both of these can soon be remedied as soon as my sister goes to University, then the dual-screened awesomeness is mine.

Yeah. Screens aren't expensive at all, not anymore. You can easily get 17" ones for 150 euros, and if you look real hard you can find some nice 19" acers (good quality if you ask me) for 170 at some places here.
