It's time to show our desktops, once again!

Let's start off with mine.

I used a different font, other than Trebuchet MS (Used Haettenschweiler)

And I redid the background and put the taskbar to the side

If you're running beta or release canadiate versions of Windows Vista, you must type "VISTA" first before posting your Vista desktop exactly like this for example:

VISTA
http://www.domain.com/windowsvistadesktop.jpg

You can substitute the url above for the url of your Vista desktop, in .jpg, .png, .gif or whatever.

If you're running Windows XP or earlier versions, then just post the desktop. Nothing else.

That time of the month again, is it?

I'm afraid that little has changed since our last session (http://jfweb.fastmail.fm/images/wallpaper_11-1-06.jpg).

Erm.. I forget. What exactly is on your wallpaper, again? It looks like an exploding orange, almost. Haha.

But, seriously. I can't figure it out.

P.S. -- My wallpaper owns your wallpaper. :hehe:

It isn't really anything, to be honest. I just got to fooling around one day with a picture of a mirrorball (http://jfweb.fastmail.fm/images/mirrorball.jpg) that I took at a Rocketface show in September.

Ah, I see.

I actually really like that picture [the one of the mirrorball]. :D

Thanks! :D

Sadly, for a five-second exposure, it was one of the best-focused shots out of four rolls of film used for trying my hand at low light photography. At least, out of those for which I didn't use a flash.

Once I get my new camera tomorrow, I will find some cool picture to take, and then find a theme to match it, then it shall be posted!


I can't wait until it comes :D

*Goes offtopic...

Kodak C743

-7.1 MP
-5x Digital, 3x Optical(Shows through the lens too) Zoom
-Video w/ audio


Yes, those are the pinpoint parts. It looks nice, it has a good(.7 sec) click to capture rate, a 1.8 second shot-to-shot rate for burst pictures, which I love to take... Umm yeah. I should like it.

My sister and I got my mom a nice new camera for Christmas last year, but until it came, we never really realized it didn't have a viewfinder, so it sucks up batteries sometimes. It also has video which I like how they turn out, but it doesn't have audio(No good for concerts, lol!). It's still a nice camera, and she's happy with it. I've had my digital for like 6 years, it was my very first one that was great for me then. Now I love taking pictures even more, I need a better quality. So the 3x zoom isn't great, but without buying an SLR for some good $$$, it's about the best I'm going to get.

PERSONAL FOUL. UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT.
WE'RE GETTING A LITTLE OUTTA HAND HERE. WE'RE LOOKING FOR COMPUTER DESKTOP PICTURES (BACKGROUNDS, TASKBAR, ICONS, ETC), NOT SOMETHING RELATED TO PHOTOGRAPHY AND/OR A (DISCO) MIRRORBALL!

How rude Josh!!! You will have to apologize to Amanda!

Anyways, I think we are free to discuss how we have created our desktops.

I don't have a link to mine right now. For the past month or so, I haven't changed it, but it has changed because my sister has been so kind as to mess with it! :hehe: I'll think about getting a screenshot of something! :D

Looks like Vista. Is it really Windows Vista or Windows XP with the Vista theme downloaded from the Internet? If it's Windows Vista, you didn't follow my guidelines!

Aww...I made it 50% before I saved it....I suppose I can redo it.

Well, this is phase 2 of showing the desktops for the month.

We want to see different backgrounds!

Here's mine:

In the first image, I placed the taskbar to the bottom and installed Rainlendar 2.0 (new version of Rainlendar) and re-created the desktop. I made edits to the text clock, and the clock.

The second image is the desktop header and my website in a browser window.

Because nerd firefox evangelists get all worked up when they see someone using a browser that does the exact same thing as thiers, but is about twice as responsive and easier to use. Maybe if everyone didn't bother to use that piece of trash, I wouldn't have go back 95% of the time and fix my site so those nerds can see it properly... and even then I have to compensate by taking things out or adding stuff that makes it look worse.

Wow. I didn't mean to start a war, and you didn't have to put down Ryan because one person said something about IE.

After past experience with IE, I don't like it. Anyways, here is my tote all ee redesigned background:
