Wallpaper and Desktop Themes Thread

[B-Man]

Post your current/favourite wallpaper and/or theme for your desktop. Remember to follow the board's image size rules when posting your desktop. Link or post a thumbnail'd link of your desktop.

I guess I'll start first.

This is my first official screenshot of my new computer (minus Vista). The wallpaper is from one of my favourite anime, Darker than BLACK. I don't even remember where I found it. I don't think that I'm quite happy with my icons right now, but I'll sort through them when I want to go completely icon-less later on.

[Collin152]

I'd post it, see, but I'm sure it would violate a forum rule.

Plus, my dear friend would kill me for putting it on the net.

B, one day you need to explain to me exactly how you set up a different theme. 'Cos last time I downloaded one it made Ego's computer sad. :smalltongue:

Anywho, this is mah current wallpaper.

Most of my desktop backgrounds for the last 6 months or so have come from Nedroid (http://www.nedroid.com). The current one is this one (http://nedroid.com/images/Pdinovsrobotmed.jpg).

The rest have just been from the Magic weekly desktop series, if there's card art I find particularly appealing.

I'd be more than happy to help you out with getting new themes on your computer (as long as it's your Win XP, Vista is yucky :smallyuk:).

New paper, same theme (I should really load up my other themes that I was whining for when I had Vista >.>):

Here's (http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u309/Chrthiel/Untitled.png) mine. I really need to get rid of all those icons.
Anyone who knows a piece of software that can help me go icon-free?

Shuts down your comp. 30 second delay, and an abort button makes it harmless if you know how to deal with it.

Instead of restarting this thread, I thought I would revitalise this one. I've reacquired some of my XP themes so here they are:

SOS-dan!

I really love XP for its customisation! :smallbiggrin:

[FdL]

That's an awesome theme you have there, Bee. You really can change a lot how it looks.

Is that Vista then?

Nope, no Vista. I have Vista on a partition somewhere but it's not nearly as customisable as XP.

Bah... you're desktop is so much shinier than mine. Mine fails. I need to fix that. :(

I use XP but I downloaded the Royale Noir theme, which my friend has so helpfully found the link (http://www.istartedsomething.com/20061029/royale-noir/) for.
Also, my desktop is an image from this site (www.sgeier.net/fractals/indexe.php). If you lose the link, you go google images and search "vision". One of the images turns up on the first page :smallbiggrin:

Also I saw in someone's screenshot that they had Pidgin! Yay! I like it so much more than msn, don't you?

[FdL]

I have the central part of the painting Serpentine showed ("The Garden of Earthly Delights") in my house. It's been there for ages. It's great.

Let's see... I use a slightly modified classic silver XP theme, a black, silver, and blue Firefox color scheme, and my desktop is a screenshot of my rogue standing next to Illidan with my baby croc beside me. I need to update it because my new boots are prettier than the ones I had when I took it. I so hate the model they used for the Nyn'jah Tabi.

Oh, also my pointer is black.

[Rawhide]

If I didn't need to minimise my desktop/theme at the moment for study and battery reasons, it would look like this (http://www.die.net/earth/), updated constantly with this program (http://xplanet.sourceforge.net/windows/).

At the moment it's a rather boring blue...

[Don Julio Anejo]

Just for the hell of it (and because it looks cool), I installed a Mac OS theme on my laptop. So now it looks like a (modified) version of a Mac.

[Dihan]

My wallpaper is this:

[Lorn]

Aha. Mine.

Picture's from a Regia show I did about... two months back? I'm right at the back, in the red, and you can't see me :smalltongue:

Random stuff about icons:
Admin Off/Admin On toggle the Vista Admin Account.
Restart restarts the computer, Shutdown shuts it down with a ten second delay. Cancel Shutdown cancels the shutdown if necessary.
The WTF Rating is... the only way I stay sane when exposed to the rest of my Media class. It's not nice. "Eastenders is fairlies a US crime drama lyke!" Kill me now, PLEASE.
Finally, the folder titled Oblivion Remake... is what it says :/ Me and someone else are thinking about essentially making a new game (using the mod maker) based on Oblivion - activate the plugin and you will not be in Cyrodiil anymore. If anyone felt like being recruited, it would be nice to have help :smallwink:

My Windows Media Player skin, the reason I hate syncing - whenever I plug a USB device in, it goes back to full mode >.> The way I have it at the moment means it's visible over everything but fullscreen apps for easy access.
Normally have Vista Aero running buut it's not compatible with certain high memory programs, which is why you can't see it at the bottom. Or on the first pic, really.

Rawhide that is an awesome thing to have on your desktop! How did you find that in the intertubes?!

Ooh, nice. That's probably one of my favourite paintings. So much to look at.

And day-um, Rawhide. That is way cool. :smallcool:

[valadil]

Got a new one here. I've wanted something dark for a while, but never liked how my mostly white websites clashed with a dark firefox. So I went grey. It's dark looking, but not so high contrast.

I'm debating getting rid of the launcher icons and just using gnome-do (it's like quicksilver), but I'm not sure I trust it that much.

[Ceric]

For a while, I used this:

Then the computer crashed, and now it's just a solid black.

Here's the picture I'm using for my desktop.


I'm one of the people in the water... not sure which one.
