Like it?

thats pretty sweet

there was a thread on desktop posting buried somewhere in the archives,,,

Yea I was too lazy to dig it up. :P

I changed the log in screen to a really nice picture of snowy mountains too. The default blue login is so boring.

I never liked that particular FFVII background. Mine's the scene where Cloud is putting on those awesome sunglasses.

Other than that, looks sweet!

I want the screen where Cloud is rushing up into the air about to do the final strike from above with Ominslash, but I can't figure out how to get the screenshot from realplayer it keeps screwing up. :(

If there's a reliable place for me to get the video, I'll load it up on my DPS Reality and grab high quality bitmaps of the scene you want.

That is snazzy Squall! I'm a newbie when it comes to anything Final Fantasy, so I'll check it out sometime

Hey, what program do you use for that? I want a top bar like that :-P

Ooo... umm limewire? Or I can send it to you over netmeeting or something.

The bar thing is ObjectDock, it's freeware just download it.

Wee thank you, I've seen a bunch of people with the bar and I wanted it :)

Nice desktop btw, since I didn't say.

The action scenes from the movie are really blurry. I think they did it so they wouldn't have to render as many frames. But then that means there's little room for detail and everything goes by so quickly...

I don't think it's just my release, but I'm getting a higher resolution version just to check.

how did you do that with the start menu?!

heh cool Squall

Are any of those pics close to what you're looking for? I finally got a higher res version.

Oh really cool!

I'm actually looking for the end of the move where he's standing on the ground with all the parts of the sword embedded in the ground around him and him reaching up and catching the last piece. Can you grab me a shot of that?

I think I have the movie now. I'll have a look too.

Like this one?

He starts moving it right away, so the frames around it are pretty blurry. Like they took a BMP blob and said, "ok, start rendering after that."

It could probably use some PS-ing too. Not much contrast for a still.

-slaps the Nitpick Bug off of Ex-Nine's back- lol

Gotta be careful. Those things are everywhere. :goodjob2:

Woah!

*scratches his head, noticing the world looks curiously different*

LOL, you guys. :laughhard:

Sweet, Squallie. :goodjob2: Meh, you'll be fine, don't worry -- hey, you'll have plenty of tests, inspiration and timing and luck only happen every so often! :D

Sweet Ex-Nine you're awesome. I'm going to mess around with that screen and see what I can do. Thanks a lot.

Thanks Ramu. :)

kim: let me know what you come up with!

So with nothing else to do I decided to show off my laptop's battery life span with Notebook Hardware Control installed:

Also, here's a look at my current desktop, inspired by Aphius's sig. ;)

Here's my current one. I'm quite fond of the Fresco theme in WindowBlinds...

ohhhhh I loooove all those rolling green hills and blue sky

my happy place looks alot like that (sans the blimp crossing)

Good taste on the second screen shot (the Aphius inspired one)...It don't get much better than that. ;)~
