Ok so I'm procrastinating - I should be developing a resource plan (something no amount of red wine and punk rock can make fun). But no. I think it's time for a seasonal desktop pic thread. I'll start. Sorry if the image breaks the f13.

Your turn.

MY WORK DESKTOP IS NSFW!!! (http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u306/mashadarbg/desk.jpg)Not Joking.

I'll add in my home desk tonight :)

Well that'll help the day pass...

(http://pandadesigns.com/f13/mac_mini_desktop_2007-04-27.jpg)

It's always the right time for red and black. (clicky for big)
(http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~igrant/files/042704_s.jpg) (http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~igrant/files/042704.jpg)

And a well done red and black that is. Seksi.

I haven't had a tacky chick desktop in awhile, but Scarlett makes a good one.  :-P

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v231/lonestar627/Misc/scarlett_desktop.jpg)

Clap clap. Please - it's Scarlett. Let's all just take a moment...



...


...ok then. Yes. Scarlett good.

I'd totally fire you for that.

Good thing my boss likes the AZN

Ah.  In that case, I'd have you disciplined and fire your boss.

Seriously, I'm all for hawt boomer ass, but times they are a changing and that shit's called a 'hostile work environment' and you should get caned for it.

Yes, I know.  It's hard to imagine me caring about this kinda shit.

8 guys in the office (6 of them battlestar fans, not that it's relevant), no clients coming within 2000 miles of the office, the only female ever entering is the lady that cleans or someone's girlfriend. Can't really see where the harm is. Seriously. 

You've had to tag your work desktop with a NSFW tag.

Heh.  Suddenly this discussion has struck me as hilarious.

Some of you guys have awesome desktops. What sources do you look at for your desktops? Mine are usually video game or movie desktops and they get boring, fast.

Yeah, I figured you'd be for the dismantling of PC worker-related laws.

Not everything labelled PC is wrong.

If you don't respect women, you're some serious kind of asshole imo.  Probably because I secretly hate and fear them, to the point of catching them unawares after dark.

Or summat.

Deviantart has a great desktop section if you sort by popular ones. Lots of shit too but the good ones get recognised generally. Also 4chan has a gem from time to time in the general wallpaper section.

Hence the overuse of exclamation marks and the not kidding part. I thought it was funny, you thought I should be fired for disrespecting TEH FEMALE  :-(

I can't look at this thing until I get home, does someone want to paint me a picture with words?  And what country are you from Wolf, out of curiosity?

It's the Maxim picture of Boomer with her ass out.

Stunning picture, lovely looking woman.

It's a shot from a Maxim photo session with Grace Park (Sharon/Boomer) from BSG. She's in sexy undies, but the shot has the tastefulness (is that a word?) that is normally associated with Maxim's sessions.

And I'm from Bulgaria. Which is almost the third world as far as respecting women goes. And I'd very much like to differentiate from that, as I don't want to come off as an asshole - I respect women, that doesn't mean that I don't like to look at them, ANY guy that says that is not true is a hypocrite. Also I want to again say that no women have ever seen my desktop, nor will they ever do. I honestly can't see what the big deal is...

YOU FASCIST MYSOGYNIST PIG DOG, HOW CAN YOU SAY NO-WOMAN WILL SEE IT WHEN YOU LINK IT ON A BOARD CONTAINING NO LES THAN 2.5 WOMEN !!!


Weeeee.


I think I'm exempt from Green Text Status.

I think your baby is trying to hypnotize me when you post.

Give up the Oats & Apple, bitchcakes.

I rotate through pictures I snagged from the Astronomy Pic of the Day (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html) site. APOD rules. I also like this site (http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/index.php?w=1680&h=1050&sort=date&id=&page=1) for widescreen desktops.

Here's the workstation:

Funny how most people posting are working on Apples :P

It's because everyone with a PC or linux box is too busy doing actual work ;)

I'll post mine in a bit.

This is the photo that is my desktop (actual desktop contains proprietary crap)-

(http://traincrisps.markconnell.co.uk/mark/desktop270407.jpg)

nout special.

Freaky.  Mine's a PC, but I made that my background when I saw it on Astronomy Pic of the Day.

Lot of mac users.

Allow me to break the H-Scroll.

My work desktop is boring… …so I'll share my dock, which has a lot less stuff than home machines (work dock has no games and less audio editing icons…)…

(http://azplace.net/images/mydock.png)

Mine is the one you get right after you install WinXP.  Even the work laptop, except I changed the color from blue to olive.  Waiting on a link to a pic from SOMEBODY.

something like this then?
(http://www.traincrisps.co.uk/mark/default%20xp%20desktop.jpg)

Thats mine too.  I format too often to care.

Here's mine, click for slightly resized image instead of thumbnail.

Proprietary shit blacked out. It's also early and a Friday, so I have far fewer terminal windows than normal open.

I like the water drop image, is it online anywhere?

Mine is part of a 8mp pic I took with my new cam of a canvas I have hanging in my lounge.

(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j79/malleus123/Desktop270407.jpg)

Why not.

Link to Water Drop image (http://www.razorfield.com/postimages/00660_splash_1440x900.jpg) -- i don't remember where i got it so i can't credit the artist but it's online somewhere.

Painted by this guy: Viktor Vasnetsov (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Vasnetsov)

Edit: I use depthCORE (http://www.depthcore.com/) for most of my desktop needs, I just stumbled upon this one day.

Makes me want to play Magic Carpet.

(http://www.calantus.com/images/desktop.jpg)

My desktop is pretty sparse because I open everything off the start menu and use my desktop as a dump for temporary files (usually creatively named "hmm", "stuff", "bleh", or "test") or files I'm not sure where to put yet. Also my todo list whenever I have a big list of small things to tick em off easier and putty because I cbf'd putting it elsewhere and making a shortcut for my start menu. :P

That's cause I have too many icons on my PC desktop to show it. Here's my PC wallpaper though:
(http://pandadesigns.com/f13/bc7-aqua_640.jpg)

Severely reduced and censored work desktop:

(http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/1786/workdesktopmn2.th.jpg) (http://img296.imageshack.us/my.php?image=workdesktopmn2.jpg)

I'll add the home one later...

Pitaten?

heh

Is that some sort of "live" desktop on the right hand side with the stats updating in real-time?

I'm not just emo, I also like cute things.


Yeah. The ExtraView and Tasks panes contain hotlinks to bugs and work items assigned to me. In the lower left is a graph showing the total number of non-resolved bugs and and tasks open each day since January. I've never been able to show my second monitor before, but now that that the header is using a released image, I can at least show that.

Since I've already made a new post, here's my home screen.

wow...that's some nostalgia. I seem to remember enjoying that game.

here's my home desk (http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u306/mashadarbg/Desk.jpg). It is SFW :)

Also if you're looking for new wallpapers - ivsky.com is win. It loads like shit, because it's in china, but has some amazing stuff on there.

I think magic carpet was the first pc game I played on CD... Either that or Under a Killing Moon.

That awful Star Wars one...Can't even remember what it was called...

(http://coeurdefeu.com/hosted/042807_desktop.jpg)

I don't play L2 anymore (haven't for ages) but I just really liked the source image this came from.  Not sure how much longer I'll keep it since white backgrounds like that get tiring after a while.  That and I'm too lazy to figure out how to change my icon text to something easier to read.

I'm so dull.

I used to be cool about 8-9 years ago when I actually had something on my desktop!

(http://www.slyagent.com/dsktp1.jpg)

Oh man, the original Diablo. That game was so fun way back when.

A few years ago, I borrowed it from a friend for a week. How did I spend so much time on it the first time?!

That is an awesome site!  Thanks for the link.

I kinda have a theme going on.

2 points for Sky.


Also, the image I am using currently. I can't find the place I got my current background; it's just a Full Metal Panic thing anyway. I'm never Quite happy with my backgrounds.

Full Metal Panic?  I know where you can get some great Ceres backgrounds.

Here's mine, color loss and all, shrunken to 800x500 GIF format ;)

(http://soukyan.com/images/soukyan_desktop.gif)

The picture was done with Modo and Photoshop, and no, it is not my work. I am not that good, yet.

And yes, my dock is always hidden and the desktop always clean. I like to minimize clutter. In any case, yeah, lot of Mac users these days. Muhahaha!

Pretty.

So brown.

For some reason I was expecting a wallpaper of Alizée.

I like the National Geographic Picture of the Day (http://lava.nationalgeographic.com/pod)

Using this one currently:

And Evil Elvis, I'm curious as to where you got your laptop image.

I'm pretty sure it was from deviantart.com

Yeah, well, I have to keep you guessing. :)

Soukyan needs to post more imo

 :wink:

Not an actual shot of my work desktop, but this is the image I'm using

(http://gallery.thesecondscreen.com/gallery.php?pid=1593)

Same - not my actual desktop but the pic I'm using.  (Resized for board viewing)


(http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g194/floodcore/01042_brazomarbeach_1920x1200.jpg)

cool image murdoc, I've snagged that so ty.

There's two other images located here (http://gallery.thesecondscreen.com/gallery.php?cid=9), one using a match and the other a candle, that are along the same lines if you're interested.

It's actually a Penny Arcade Wallpaper dump. I have no idea how I came across it, but I was cleaning out my favorites the other day and I found it again.

edit: Here's the direct link to the main page: http://gallery.thesecondscreen.com/gallery.php

Very cool! Thanks for the link, murdoc. It's like heaven. Well, not really, but there are some great wallpapers there.

Great site!
Raptor Jesus+Water Match > All.

Here's my most recent. I try to go for some art that will be pleasing in the long term, rather than impressive in the short term, but eventually eye jarring.

As a result of this thread.

Classy!

I know I'm bumping a somewhat older thread, but man, seeing Selby's old desktop pic brought back some memories. Anyone else have any old desktop pics? Love lookin at stuff like that.

Dual monitors FTW!

Notice how BG is copying yet another movie?  :-P

873 in the collection to date!  Did I mention that I love Blockbuster Online?  Kicks the everloving shit out of Netflix.

Anyone got any idea where I can get Desktop Themes? I only have the WinXP Classic (blue) and Silver ones, and neither allows nearly any modification. The Win2k stuff does, but I miss the 3D elements of XP. And everywhere I look people are trying to offer proprietary application overlays to let me use their specific Themes. I'd rather not go that route as I like to keep as few apps as possible running at any given time (I've got power and memory to spare but old habits die hard).

Edit: Nevermind. Looks like Interfacelift has some Themes that don't require extra crap.

Desktop Themes are for girls. Unless it's Fly-A-Kite OS.

Didn't mean to upset the Collective, but I spend so much time on the stupid thing I'd like it to look better than the stock crap that hasn't changed since it launched.

I only use Windows Classic, thankyouverymuch.

Classic FTW.  I cannot stand the default XP theme or any of the stupid little scrolling\unwinding menus.  I want all of my menus and options to open when I tell them to, not based on usage.

I have bad memories of themes from my troubleshooting days with Windows 95\98 and having to deal with people who wanted those cute little cursors but couldn't get over the fact that all of the bloated software they had installed was what was slowing their computer down.  It's amazing how much money they paid me to essentially tell them "I cannot help you with that" over removing their themes...

Themes? Sounds more like you want to mod more than what most folks call 'themes' (http://www.themeworld.com) There's some, though.

My desktop ATM:
(http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/6/16014230723.jpg) (http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=5647495)

Actually, it was the Themes, at least, what Windows XP calls Themes.

It turns out that Themes can't be loaded by the Desktop Control Panel unless they've been signed by Microsoft. So since there's a fat chance of finding freebies with that rating, you can turn to tools that strip the requirement from one of the DLLs in the OS. You're taking your life in your own hands if ya do that though, particularly if you dink around with a zillion Themes without checking the sources.

But heck, that's what System Restore is for.

This is about what my desktop looks like (http://interfacelift.com/themes-win/previews/138_osxp-2.0_full.jpg). Background picture is a collage of my kids, so won't bore anyone with that. Of course, they're both girls too, and will be surrounded by a digital stockade until they enter seminary... *nods*

 :-D

Ummm, girls don't tend to go to seminaries.  Granted, they might be popular there (okay, maybe not in Catholic seminaries), but I still maintain that it's a bad idea.

I'm currently rotating those. Totally worth it.

I consider it one of my core competencies to completely flub a joke :) Thanks for the correct.

Here's this month's background.  Just recently changed it because I wanted something simpler.

(http://coeurdefeu.com/hosted/20070611_desktop_th.jpg) (http://coeurdefeu.com/hosted/20070611_desktop.jpg)

Girls actually do go to some protestant seminaries. My step-sister went to one in Indiana.

Considering where I grew up you were weird if you DIDN'T go to seminary and "heed the call" I'd say not going to seminary (me) was more out of the ordinary than not.

It's probably my own childishness talking, but linking the word "girls" and "seminary" makes me think of blurry lensed Cinemax Late Night.

The MBP.

I'll post the Mac Pro later, maybe...

(http://img.skitch.com/20080320-jk86kfa9yrrmymu3wp2ta18di7.png)

maybe it's time for a new thread instead of necroing the old one with stale img links

I agree. Someone pull that trigger.
