Title: We need more action in this forum....so post you desktop
Post by: nO-One on February 11, 2003, 01:49:09 PM: People seem to think this forums going to hell or something, so I thought I\'d try to shake things up a little, these desktop threads usually get some attention.
I guess I\'ll start then, these are 1600x1200 so I\'ll make\'em links so that I won\'t kill you modem people.

>>Plain desktop (http://pics.paulsonator.com/users/Samuel_Carnage/desktop.jpg)

>>With Winamp and an open window (http://pics.paulsonator.com/users/Samuel_Carnage/desktop2.jpg)

The theme is called Mafia, heavily modified by me, the Winamp skin is by me, it\'s unnamed basically just a skin I threw together to match my preferences and to go with the current look, and the background is also by me, made it to go with the theme.

I didn\'t post my actual desktop because my dad keeps it CLUTTERED with icons. You\'ll also have to C&P cuz I use GeoCities.

Hey Vapor, I was just checking your Winamp thing; Did you copy that whole CD? :)

That is my KDE desktop running Evolution, Openoffice, Mplayer (with Aqua Teen playing), and a couple terminals. I would upload more pics but geocities bandwidth has already been overloaded :eek:

Thanks, the theme is called Mafia by a guy called Y/C, I redid every element in the theme though, gave it a smoother gradient (looks better that way imo) You should be able to get it at most of the big theme places like themexp.org, deskmod.com, deviantart and whatnot.

Post by: THX on February 13, 2003, 10:45:37 PM: Those sites were great guys, thanks. I needed a darker desktop and got the Forever Blue theme.

That bar at the top is called YzDock and it\'s the coolest. ;) All those icons animate when you mouseover them and that bar appears over any window when you raise the pointer to the top of the screen. Glad to get rid of that quicklanch bar.

I\'ll post mine later, after I upgrade to Jaguar later today.

Post by: THX on February 14, 2003, 04:04:44 AM: LIC- Yea Apple is "da bomb." If I had the money I\'d drop 2 grand on one asap. DV editing in ANY Windows OS is just a pain, plain & simple.

Soul- I like the taskbar in the 2nd version, very sexual & toight. Just curious but don\'t you get annoyed with all those icons in your bar? I usually have a lot of windows open at once.
Title: We need more action in this forum....so post you desktop
Post by: nO-One on February 14, 2003, 05:10:04 AM: Yeah the yz dock is by far the best out of the windows docks out there. Still doesn\'t come close to the OS X one though.

My god souly, the 2nd wallpaper you posted is horrible, don\'t tell me it came with the theme?
Title: We need more action in this forum....so post you desktop
Post by: §ôµÏG®ïñD on February 14, 2003, 03:12:31 PM: yep, i never use the 2nd theme. Got it to check it out.. The icons on the second theme are part of the first theme. I just reversed them.

Thx, the icons help me more then anything.. i rather quick links then screw around browsing through links to get to a certain place etc.
