This is a revival of a thread from the old forum, which was created by Gremlin aka Necro aka Fucked Upstairs aka About 50 Other Names. Before you start asking "WTF AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!?!?@##$@#%$^@#$^", allow me to show you step-by-step how to post a desktop.

1. Minimize all windows
2. Take a screenshot of your desktop by pressing the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard
3. Open MS Paint and paste the screenshot. Do this through either the Edit --> Paste or by pressing Ctrl-V
4. Go up to File --> Save As, enter the name you want your screenshot to be under, and save it in JPEG format
5. Go to http://www.imageshack.us/ and upload your image
6. Highlight the URL in the "Thumbnail for forums (1)", then copy and paste it into your forum post
7.
8. Profit!!!

Now, here is mine.


In summary, this thread is meant for people to see what other people's desktops look like, and give insight on the person's personality. I think it'll be pretty interesting.

WOW! So much information and detail! Love the FFXIII theme! I am afraid to do anything fancy like this because I don't want my desktop theme system hogging all my memory! Are you a gamer by chance? How much RAM do you have? Does your system bog down when mulit-tasking?


My note has 4GB RAM. It seem enough to support this much information on the desktop, since it never ever lags.

Unfortunaly I have trouble running some heavy games (could'nt even play Call Of Juarez : / ), but since Im a huge fan of classic games, emulators of NES, SNES, MegaDrive and so are enough for now

The FFXIII is really cool indeed, too bad it is only a distant dream to actually play it

Hmmm, thanks for the info! I thought it might be difficult to run some games with that monstrosity running in the background. Maybe 12GB of RAM would ease the burden!

This is my desktop atm.

I like it because it's simple and it makes me feel calm... The only bad thing is when you see it in the dark, it hurts so bad.

He's using a highly customisable programme called Rainmeter that is very resource light as well
it can come in the form of this too. well, at least for the CPU, RAM, Hard Disc usage, Power monitors and Weather widgets.

Working on a BorderLands desktop theme.. damn I love this game.

I heard from a program called BumpTop, which gives a tridimensional look to the desktop. Looks pretty cool.. I'll search for it Meanwhile...

Isn't that the cheerleader from Heroes, so don't think the tattoos are real, are they?

i've seen all Heroes episodes, i don't think it's her.

edit - it's her, but photoshopped: http://heroeswallpapers.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/hayden1.jpg

Wow.. I didn't recognize her either.

She should seriously consider this change in her looks... not that she's not perfect already

Anyone else familiar with the Customize.org website?

They are kinda facing a decadence moment for now.. -_- But still provide some great wallpapers, screenshots and skins for desktop modification. If anyone has an account there, add me. =)

Can't change the goddamn start buttom...

I've tried ''Windows 7 Start Button Changer v 2.6'', but there was no effect at all. That flashy buttom kinda destroys the whole purpose of the theme...

I think there are quite a few leopard walls out there, but this one has an air of menace which made it stood out
