Mine, with a new XP-theme freshly applied. 2 desktops, one at 1280 x 960, the second "music-monitor" at 1024 x 768.

But how do you make thumbnails then? I prefer thumbs because I can see what I am clicking...Why do they all have PHP :

Besides what's wrong with the adverts? They load fine and don't block my view...

Nice, although just running Winamp is a tremendous waste of a second monitor :(.

Habboi:

1. Adverts are bloody irritating. Why the hell would you intentionally spam your boardmates with them?

2. Use some initiative. Look at the code you're posting.

I use it for other purposes too. Mainly i just map on one, and IRC on the other.. or watch a movie on the second one. Every other second i'm not using it, it's my "music-monitor".

I'm guessing you only have one monitor. Buy another! :D

I got 3, only 2 hooked up though, to much of a hassle and to little space, though luckily this provides me with 2 backup monitors in case both fail at the same time :) .

Wow, that background is badass Strider. Can I ask where you got it? :)

I found the original pic somewhere.. i can't remember. I'll host it and post it soon. I changed the colour, shape and added the text myself.

Hmm, well I rather like the edited version then, do you think you could host the version you have, please? :)
Posted 17 years ago2006-05-14 12:53:34 UTC Post #180005
I'll PM it to you when i've got it hosted. :)

Bugger it, i'll post it here for anyone else that might like it. :D

Didn't like this too much, looks icky and a little sickening.

Yeah, like i said, i made some changes. It looks more cooler and a little romantic like this, which i really like.

hey Strider how does your Source SDK have a cool icon, and all mine has is the Steam icon? :(
Posted 17 years ago2006-05-14 16:48:14 UTC Post #180046
You can change the icons yourself, you know. Right click, properties, change icon.

1600x1200 and above = Too tiny icons
lol yeah, after two weeks of squinting, you get used to it ;)

@Strider: Nice image!

just a quick question, iim running a wireless network, and i need a few of those icons in the bottom right, such as the linksys monitor and the windows netork thingamabob. but the lan icon has this huge red X on it.. its quite annoying and i cant figure out how to rid myself of it.. any ideas how to fix it or just get rid of it?

Whoa... Surely, there's no need to be running all of that all the time, Tawnos? I mean, Q-time, WinZip, ATI control panel.. it's a bit excessive.
Posted 17 years ago2006-05-14 17:21:08 UTC Post #180058
Bottom right => idiocy.

None of those programs are any use to anyone.

Disable the network adapter in Control Panel -> Network Connections.

I just don't bother turnin' them off anymore. see, I share this comp w/ my parents and brother. If it were up to me, most of that wouldn't be there, but just about everytime I mess w/ somethin' on here, I get bitched at, and I'm the most computer profficient person in the house.

Anyway, that won't be an issue in a couple of months when I get my own.

Wow, that sounds exactly like my situation, except I have my own computer, so I don't have to worry about that as much. It's amazing how my family needs me for my assistance, yet as soon as something "goes wrong", it's automatically my fualt.

So do scopes, and micro-computers. But it sure as hell looks cool(its a model for CSS).

Ant, did u replace your icon for Steam or did u actually give it it's own hard drive?!

How may Steam enabled game do u have installed?!

Good man Ant, scrubs is fantastic :)
Posted 17 years ago2006-05-15 14:37:14 UTC Post #180268
Partition != Hard-drive. I don't see your question though.

Ant: Awful wallpaper, really, I mean, not nice to look at. Nevertheless, Scrubs > *.

Mine is now like Striders, except I only have 1 icon, recycling bin, and that is because I can't get rid of it ;D

I don't know why, but I really like my desktop completly clear. I find it no slower really to open start and find whatever that way. :)

You can in XP. Somewhere in Display Properties, methinks.
