EoFF Desktop Thread!!!

[Parker]

I have a weird fascination with other people's desktops. I love to see how organised their icons are (if they are organised at all), and what wallpapers they choose. I also used to be really into customisation, and used to like seeing all the ways people changed the theme of their desktop. I think there's a reason operating systems are so customizable - you can tell a lot about a person from what their desktop looks like.

In truth, I am not very organised, as you can see from my screenshot. I save random files anywhere and everywhere in my filesystem. However usually I choose to "Hide Desktop Icons" because I like to see my wallpaper, lol. I included them in my screenshot so you can see how disorganised I can be.

So, what kind of person are you, and can you tell what kind of person you are by your desktops?

BONUS POINTS: Include a pic of your actual desk with your computer on it, I didn't because I'm lazy and also my physical desktop is even messier.

I usually have something gaming related, but lately I just wanted something that looks cool.

I change mine every 2 weeks or so. This is what it is now:

My desktop is very minimalistic. I don't like things to interfere with my wallpaper.

[Jiro]

This is literally my desktop. No icons. No start bar. Just images.

I usually have a dual monitor setup, but my second monitor is currently dead, and its replacement is somewhere in the Norwegian Royal Mail. I'll post again when I get it.

-edit- updated with that higher res wallaper I found.

[Slothy]

Right now it is this:

I have way too many shortcuts floating around on there. Need to trim them down.

*drool*

[Spuuky]

I will harshly judge people if they have more than about 5 icons on their desktop.

51207

[Calliope]

I am judging all of you.

Parker: Did you black out all of your pornography files/folders? Points for effort, but CLEAN YOUR DESKTOP.

Cuch: I am impressed with the cleanliness of your computer station, good job.

Sephex: I just had to stab my eyes with a biro and scroll past the awfulness of Parker's desktop, and yours is literally a sight for sore eyes. Look how calming that looks.

shion: Uugh, the calendar is clashing! Do you use iTunes and Windows Media Player? And does everyone align their icons to the left?

plef: A+++++

Jiro: *shrug*

Mirage: I hope your second monitor arrives soon. You certainly like pink.

Vivi22: That's the kind of thing I would expect you to have. I like that you have a Sprites folder.

sharky: Huh?

Spuuky: Zen as always.

I'm planning to change my background soon.

[Jiro]

I just like to have cute pictures on my background I feel so judged right now

[Calliope]

It is cute! I just...couldn't think of anything to say other than it was a cute picture ._.

Nah, I have a habit of savings things as <swearword>.filename and I didn't wanna get anyone upset. Also some of my saved pics are mildly nsfw so I blacked them to be safe.

Oh and I did say that I usually kept desktop icons off! No one usually sees them and I use the search function because I have way too much stuff to keep organised!

There are some cool desktops here! I like the owl the best, so far.

[TrollHunter]

I used to do a lot of fun things with many kinds of software and rainmeter to mess with my desktop... but I don't do that anymore. The fun of spending hours customizing my desktop just eventually died for me sadly.
Here's what my desktop is currently.

I just wish I was able to find a higher res version of that wallpaper ):. But yeah, I guess I do like pink.

-edit- now that I actually searched for it, I did find a higher res version. I had just somehow assumed that there wasn't one available.

For the uninitiated, my wallpaper is of Yukiko Amagi's Persona, Konohana Sakuya. It is from Persona 4.

[Baloki]

I so cool!

i like the new folder you dumped all your porno folders in so we wouldnt see


also winamp media player classic mirc omg its like a time machine view into 10 years ago or w/e

[Mirage]

That mirc icon is like several versions old. Enjoy your exploits, shauna!

[Shauna]

That mirc icon is like several versions old. Enjoy your exploits, shauna!

I actually have a reason for this. xD The newer mIRC versions lock you out if you don't buy it eventually (the continue button permanently greys out), so I looked out an older version that wouldn't do that. I probably should just buy a license since mIRC is pretty cool, but this all came about when I was a poor student who couldn't afford fun things.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

Scotty is winning. Shauna is probably second?

[Parker]

you should almost defo do that or get another client now that it is public knowledge that ur client is vulnerable shauna



i'll send you the appropriate information over irc be sure to accept the files im gonna send

[Shauna]

thx parker you're such a good friend

i have the most recent version and the continue button hasn't greyed out after like several years :p

also yeah get a license!

[Shauna]

*shrug* Well, I certainly had issues with the continue button staying greyed forever. This was a few years back, so maybe that has changed again.

[fire_of_avalon]

or just get kvirc as it is funner

[Shorty]

My desktop wallpaper features a scantily-clad mermaid, so best not.

[Endless]

I use Fences (http://www.tucows.com/preview/610134) to organize my desktop. It's neat (though it nags me about upgrading to the 2.0 version which isn't free, but lolno). Otherwise, default win7 desktop background for now, I haven't been bothered making/finding a proper 3840*1080 background.

My wallpaper changes every 30 minutes, this is what is currently on show.

As for my icons, I never show them, I just keep them on my taskbar with no text and small icons, its pretty easy to remember which is which.

My wallpaper is now a regularly clad mermaid! :D

But regular clad for mermaids is scanty. :confused:

[Denmark]

My wallpaper changes every 24 hours. http://i.imgur.com/rLtTSE0.png

Also I'd like to thank this thread for motivating to clean up my desktop; it had about 3 columns' worth of icons on it that were unnecessarily there.

Some of you have nice clean desktops. I approve. This is currently mine. Here's the full size version of it, if you cared. (https://www.dropbox.com/s/0p2nsffm8ykbjmp/current%20desktop%20full.png)

It's hard finding wallpapers to span two monitors that doesn't have those irritating watermarks. It really, really is.

i'm jealous that your monitors are the same size. I want a PC and not just a laptop :(

I love starry night photos. Not my desktop, but this is my phone's lock screen:

Wow. Yeah it does. Must be a nice place to look at during nighttime. And yeah, usually my favorite types of backgrounds.

[Shaibana]

im not that organized, but i refuse to have more then 3 rows of pictograms or it will ruin my wallpaper(s)

i have alot of wallpapers that change every minute or so.
final fantasy, assassins creed, bigbang and 2ne1 (korean bands) devil may cry, game of thrones, the walking dead, guinea pig with a sumbrero :3 and more

[Nicolas]

No need to be jealous. You'll get yours and it will be glorious.

Since taking this and posting it it's rotated, now it's Vyse holding a Blue Rogues flag :jess:

[Mirage]

My computer room is kind of dark so I had to either too strong flash, making the reflection in my monitors destroy everything, or ramp up the ISO and get lots of noise. I chose the second option.


https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1132077/images/SAM_5224.jpg

My cheap-ass Ikea desk really needs a replacement. It's pretty worn out. Yes, that is duct tape on the right end of it.

[Jowy]

cropped the left monitor out.

[Iceglow]

I'm not surprised by Parker's desktop wallpaper. What I am surprised at is the fact that no one apart from Cuch who frankly must just be jealous :aimkiss: is surprised at it either.

[Parker]

do you like cars or something? :confused:

[sharkythesharkdogg]

It's a passing fad.

[Slothy]

He hates cars. It's why that last picture shows one that's missing body panels in the rear.

[Minami]

I can finally post my desktop now i've purchased a new monitor!

yeah i used to cycle every 30min, then that changed to 1 hour, then I realized I don't actually see the desktop all that much because I usually have programs open covering it so I figured 1 day would be fine, and some days I don't even see that day's wallpaper

I have been working on this all night and for some reason it wont let me alter two icons so they are hidden behind a the side bar. BUT HERE IT IS. LOOK AT IT IN ALL IT'S AMAZING GLORY.

http://i.imgur.com/I9z77Np.jpg

oh snap i have two different temps *fixes*

[Mirage]

that looks pretty sweet freya

what are you using to make the things happen?

[Freya]

A program called rainmeter. Check it out, its not too difficult.

[Mirage]

is that different from rainlendar? cause i have used that in the past

[Freya]

I can't say! Dunno about that one.

[Endless]

Both Rainmeter and Rainlendar were started by the same guy. Rainlendar is just a customizable calendar, Rainmeter is a desktop customization tool.

Edit: my new desktop, now with Rainmeter and Launchy:
