Over two months since we had such a thread? For shame. Here are <a href="http://chwombat.net/random/screenshots/07-21-04.png">two</a> of <a href="http://chwombat.net/random/screenshots/07-21-04_2.png">mine</a>.

How to take a screenshot of your desktop: In Windows, press the PrintScreen key on your keyboard, open up a graphics program of any sort, paste from the clipboard (CTRL+V), and save the file as a jpeg or png. In Linux, use the Gimp, or scrot, or import, etc. etc. In OSX, I don't know.

I keep the Start Menu at the top, and hidden...unlike most people who keep the Start Menu on the bottom and not hidden.

Mine just has fluffy clouds. Dingo, do you have a folder titled "EoFF Porn" on your desktop?

The wallpaper is called "Let there be peace". *attaches*

This is a good one. The bird is from www.ninjai.com - the animated series.

nik, just copy into Photoshop, save as JPEG, and lower image quality to 10-11. Should be around ~450K with a 1024x768 image.

A little more cluttered than before due to the larger screen resolution, which allows me to be more messy. :D

I'm using WindowsXP, but have stopped using the explorer shell. Instead, I use LiteStep.

There are all kinds of different skins for it, but most of them suck. >_>;;

Unfortunately, it's still rather buggy, but it does the job.

Dr Unne
07-27-2004, 05:23 AM
Almost looks like fluxbox for Linux, except the fonts are hideous and the icons are grainy (and hideous). And I can't imagine how buggy it is, but to each his/her own.

Most of it's custimizable, if you know what you're doing. The fonts can be changed... the icons can be faded or put to their normal colors. The sizes of things can be altered and type can be added here and there.

The bugs don't really affect performance, but there are a few.

escobert
07-27-2004, 06:29 AM
What are the bugs with it?

Amnesiac
07-27-2004, 06:33 AM
Some of the tray icons don't pop up correctly... Winamp5 doesn't work correctly with the shell... You used to have to refresh the shell every so often (but I think it was fixed)... Just minor stuff like that.

Nothing major really.

Personally, I think this is the best desktop I've had yet.

Here is the desktop with WinAMP open. (http://www.perfectexistence.com/hosted/amnesiac/images/desktop3.gif)

Here is the desktop with everything compacted (http://www.perfectexistence.com/hosted/amnesiac/images/desktop3compact.gif)
