:rolleyes:
I just disabled themes to see if it made a difference in resources. oddly enough i have less now then i had before.
Restarted the pc, got 80 meg back.. wow.
wait... restarded again with the theme back on (just to be fair) and i lost 10 meg.. So its just a 10 meg difference between using a theme and not using one.. wow again.
-
heres mine
-
Ok this is old, and I mean OLD, but I don\'t use themes anymore, other than for Firefox.

please refrain from thinking, bro
you can cause permanent damage
-
You\'d know all about that.
-
oh noes!! 1
he threw it back at me
-
great comeback, as always :rolleyes:
and you\'re right, i shouldn\'t think to much. Reading your retarded replies makes me dumber every minute.
-
that\'s hardly possible
you peaked years ago
-
ohhhh good comeback.. You really are the sharpest TOOL in the shed.

The negative nancy fight just won\'t stop will it?

mm and soully = the internet version of the hinge and bracket show.
For those of you who don\'t know who hinge and bracket were, here\'s a pic.

They were 2 transvestites who always argued with each other over nothing, but loved each other to bits really.
-
love??? no love here bytch!!!!
-
Awwww, too cute
-
Having a background is for noobs...wtf? Everything is for noobs when you\'re thinking like mm. That word is quite stale these days.
-
why does mm contribute to these threads when its for noobs to begin with....
closet theme fan ehh
-
So far mm has the sh^tiest background. And Halberto has a hot Asian gf. ;)
-
my computer is for gaming/work
not making it look pretty
you\'ve all turned into women
-
uh-huh :rolleyes:
-
mm would be satisified with the command line prompt. :p
I like macs because all the animations and icons don\'t just look pretty, but they\'re functional too
-
This is what a work PC looks like. :)
-
woot woot me and MM PWN you all :-)

Actually it just makes it seem as though your life is bland and incredibly boring. :rolleyes:
-
Actually it makes me feal that he has his priorites straight and doesnt need his shit slowed down with the crap that make your cpu "look pretty".
-
A totally blank screen though is pretty damn boring. It\'s not like a nice wallpaper is going to slow down your PC and make you forget to do your work. It will however make your time spent in front of the PC more pleasurable.

It has nothing to due with "priorities"...it\'s a personal thing. Having a background doesn\'t slow down my computer at all. :stick:

Yeah...pretty much.

it\'s called
minimalism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimalism)
try it sometime
-
you know minimalism is very big in the desktop customising scene.
Anyhoo, skinning can be made for productivity like I keep my desktop at the moment, all colors designed to be relaxing and all elements made to stand out with out looking garish, colors assigned to specific tasks for instance.

Exactly, like mine.. I have my Newsfeeds on the desktop and my Weather widget, so that I don\'t have to go to weather.com for a constant update.

here be me...it\'s a cool crab I saw in key west...I got like 8 inches away to take this...

That 10 meg is the difference.......It could crash the Matrix!

It could!!

:stick: Or it could just be that some people enjoy using their computer more when there\'s something in the background, something uplifting that keeps our minds entertained instead of looking at a dull, black screen whenever we\'re using the desktop. It\'s a choice...simply a choice. There\'s no confusing, paranormal phenomenon behind it. Nothing complicated about it.
-
soully, did i mention it saved resources?
are you really this insecure?
it\'s pathetic

you mean cause you can\'t see it?

You guys are both nerds.

I embraced my nerdhood a long time ago, now I am climbing the ranks of the order of the nerd on my way to become high priest.
-
Lemme know when you get there... You can do my wedding.
-
yes, soully
you did assume i was considering the impact on resources
-
"impact on resources" is a good band name.
-
assume nothing... i said earlier that if thats why u didn\'t do it, it was stupid and i\'ve tested to see if it made any impact. I didn\'t assume that\'s why u didn\'t do it.
Then Cyrus comes in and pretty much says its because it\'ll slow down the pc.... in which i replied with proof saying otherwise.
so again.. get over yourself.

The best part about that pic is the #42 guy behind Ginn I went to highschool with. Man he was a scary dude.
-
I remember you saying a guy you went to high school with went to Michigan to play football.
I lived in Ann Arbor for a couple years, maybe I bumped into him at the liquer store.
-
Kinda crazy, but yea probably. Sucks that he got a career ending spinal injury, he was gonna go pro. But I\'ll trade his career for a win up in Ann Arbor come November 19th.

ON WISCONSIN!
I also like Notre Dame... Cause for some reason people in Chicago have kinda adpoted ND as thier team.
Screw Northwestern.
-
I think I might hate Wisconsin more than Michigan. :(
-
How can you hate Wisconsin? What is there to hate?
-
Wisconsin is Minnesota\'s embarrasing red neck country cousin.
-
I like the way this topic deviated slightly from desktops, to redneck states.
Nice bit of subtle subject changing there
