Okay so it's not a great desktop... in my defence it is my work laptop (which I run DF on because what is the point of a computer without DF?)
Edit: will resize, that is too big (the weird shape is because I run 2960x1050)
Edit: Now you can't see anything (like there was anything to see) but at least it fits in the browser window :)

The van Eycks would have probably considered themselves Dutch (this being before the split in the Low Countries caused by the Reformation and the 80 Years War). Today (especially after 1830) they're very much separate, but back then not so much.

As for the standards of decency, if it involves sex, try to keep it covered. So a certain extent it is allowed, but the main issue with us is we can't carry a mature discussion about it, instead probing the fetishes of whatever girl is posting. Also, female nipples and the genitals. Keep away from that and it should be safe.

thats my desktop. Rayne is AWESOME.
if its contraband then sue me. its a wallpaper from licd.com which is one of my fave comics.
and before anyone says anything, yes im using xp, and yes, im a total pirate, and yes, i have TWO PSX emulators. one is good for video stuffs and the other for sounds.
but ummmm..... that pretty much is it......
and there was a post while i was typing, aww.... i cant double post now....
the background is fine, i guess.... least, mostly it is.......

as for being a pirate.... what person who downloads roms isnt a pirate, and what person that doesnt have a PSX bios on thier pc isnt a pirate(the PS bios is illegal to have on ur pc if you dont have a modded hookup to ur own ps.....which i dont have, but i do have a ps.)

And Okami has got to be one of the most beautiful games ever; you could make a gorgeous wallpaper that overshadows tons of others, just by using a screenshot.

And, just for fun, I got a wallpaper I liked (before anyone asks: no, I haven't got the game). Anyway, enjoy.

EDIT:
Desktop is now Rainmeter modified. I rather like the style now. It's awesome how much more user-friendly and stylish it is compared to Vista's selections. Not only that, but I like how theme profiles can be saved and such. For additional awesomeness, I remembered I have a shortcut that can hide all desktop icons, further making Rainmeter more enjoyable without all my icons in the way. Though this setup actually balances out the desktop now.

Oh, I came across something incredibly useful some time ago for developing mass-production strategies and whatnot for deathmatch mode especially. It's an Excel file however. It calculates timing of making many units based on mow many buildings you are using to make them, and tallies the cost and such. Basic instructions are included inside the file. Of course, it's for one unit type at a time; and calculates according to the base unit (like Knight for all the way up to paladins and such).
Oh, and it also includes building speed according to how many builders you have on task as well (including how many building of the same type you're making as well).
Freaking useful for deathmatch indeed.

The last mission is a bitch, make the last one in yours not so impossible.
Also the problem with sequels is they always mess with the formula a bit, this always runs the risk of upsetting something which was really good about the previous incarnations and ruining it. Thus as long as they keep making sequels they will eventually ruin one.

Man, it is a free weekend. After then it is not free anymore. That 2.4 days meen when your free copy will lock itself.
It DOESN'T lock itself. It simply refuses to start and/or refuses to join a server.
When it ends, make sure you are part of a very long-lasting round of TF2, the kind of thing that takes hours to simply capture a single point. You can play as long as you are in that server, since it won't bother kicking you off until (one of: The map changes, The round ends, You quit the server, I don't know the exact specifics.)

It's a Rainmeter skin. You can do a search for it. Unfortunately, it opens up Notepad when you edit, but aside that, it's only temporary (depending on how much you toss in). Those lines are guidelines. The actual skin is much larger. At least 50% the size of the screen. It comes with instructions on how to install it properly.Still going with a blue theme with mine.

The only thing I don't like about my current Rainmeter skins right now is, I have to keep the backgrounds simple, or at least not too complex or active; at least where Rainmeter skins are concerned, otherwise, it'll be hard to understand.

On one mission, you're placed in a solitary corner of the map with one castle and literally nothing else, every single resource is blocked off with perilous amounts of random enemies, and getting to any of'em requires ingenuity and sacrifices vastly disproportional to the actual reward. Amassing any real army to combat said monsters requires LOADS of turn skipping in order to wait for your resources to accumulate. Most of said enemies are archers, meaning that it's statistically impossible to not take damage, and get nicked away. Finally, once you get past the enemies and are finally in somewhat good shape, you find that there's something like 4 other enemies on the map, with multiple castles, which are all allied, have had MUCH MORE resources and have been simply been waiting for you to bust out of your little corner, where they then all dogpile you.
It's impossible, they start with more resources, thus they'll be able to accrue the necessary unit generating buildings faster, thus will have larger armies sooner, and they don't need to worry about getting nicked to death by random archers. Plus, with the LOADS of necessary turn skipping mentioned earlier, these early advantages will snowball into unwinnable scenarios. It's like a butterfly breaking out of it's cacoon, only to see a dragon has been waiting to incinerate it before it could even see the light of the sun.
There was no forethought placed into that mission, the odds are just unfairly stacked against you, such that it's completely unbeatable.
The 'creative' maze-like levels are even worse. The game wasn't meant to be played like that.
I liked the random matches though, more fair. Well, MORE fair, as I didn't like the Ultimate Artifact system. What I mean is, since the AI doesn't need to read any of the maps, they will make a B-line straight to it's random hiding place and snatch it before you 100% of the time. The thing with Ultimates though is: while normal artifacts can change hands, Ultimates can't. Meaning if you beat an enemy that had the Ultimate, the Ultimate just vanishes and ceases to exist. It's a frustrating mechanic that seems built exclusively to deprive you of the awesomeness of the Ultimate Artifact, and I don't like that one bit.

Wouldn't have been triggered by this (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=49711.msg1046020#msg1046020), would it?
Anyway, now looking for a new desktop.
Nah, I just have "time to focus" (e.g. L moods), "time to relax" (e.g. random pink and orange and green desktop moods), and "time to beat the shit out of someone" (e.g. Vincent Valentine/Alucard moods). I stopped wanting to beat people up around when I stopped being depressed, and I'm kind of bored by relaxing... so "L mood." >_>
This is annoying, because I have only a very small number of drab-ish desktops and a surprisingly large number of pink and orange and sparkly ones.

Only change is that almost all icons have been shoved into New Folder, but more importantly, it was created with a program, so if that style of desktop is interesting, I could make some for people, or share the program so that they can make their own.

It's stretched, but they could do with some fattening up anyway.
Also, I spent far too long rearranging my desktop icons after that.

The plot for Disgaea 1 is essentially "Hmm, what crazy stunt can we pull next?! Ooh, I know, exploding prinny baseball, and lame power rangers rip-offs!". It only becomes a serious story in the last few chapters... in which there is a bit of another love story, yes.

Here I thought I was the only person who created generic folders like "Stuff" and "Important" ... the only problem is that after a certain period of time, those usually become trash folders so I've weaned my way away from doing that.
What, not using the classic "New Folder" or "New Folder(#)"?
Post by: ein on April 23, 2010, 07:58:25 am
File Dump is where I toss things for later filing in the sub-directories of a folder (creatively named things like b folder and c folder).
File Dump itself is actually called omega folder, placing it at the very bottom of a folder.
Important is just important stuff that I might need to access quickly, like stuff for school or self projects.
dosgames is located deep in the hard drive and is where I store all my DOS stuff for quick access.
df_osx is my current copy of Dwarf Fortress.
I am, conveniently, the only person who can actually navigate this labyrinth of files and directories and sub-directories and sub-sub-directories.

Its a NSFW pseudo business/training game. Quite fun, bit repetitive. The sequel is being made and looks very promising.
But just that? Come on, I have a sex novel on my desktop to, and the difference between slaves and kajira. Looking up Kajira, is fun but NSFW.
ANyway, hit me up on AIM if you want it.

Hehehe, reflexology. heheheh.Meh, considering the terrain nearby, I might as well include that. Also, wearing boots for hours on end and barely moving around at my job, I need blood to flow through my feet again. Plus, I have a nice beach wall of rough stones a good couple blocks away. It's getting scary that I can just merely run across that jagged ridge almost without thinking my next move. And these are rather precarious looking and very sharp rocks if you're not careful. Then again, I'm far quicker climbing the beach rocks when barefoot.
It's a shame though that thanks to the hurricanes of the past, that rocky area is shallower and has less rocky ground to run across. back in the day, those rocks were high and many.

What's with the random Demon eyes floating around them?
Because I'm a huge Touhou fan Ill explain. Those are their third eyes. They're some kind of mind reader race that read minds with their hearts which float around outside them. Satori's is open because she still uses it. Koishi closed hers though, which makes her unable to read minds and makes her a bit odd (Notice it's not connected to her like satori's either, closing it is might be irreversible). But it also makes it impossible to read her own mind.
Okay back to the topic. XD

Deathwork, how much porn do you even have on your computer?
(^_^;;
Not everything with a Japanese name is porn. Geesh, Japan produces also a lot of non-pornographic things like the Higurashi no naku koro series (on my desktop), or the Eiyuu Densetsu series (The ED icons), ...
As for the actual amount of erotic material on my computer - I don't keep such an overview. I recently updated my installation backup directories where I store backups of the install files for everything (erotic and non-erotic like Higurashi) I bought via the download shops, and it's currently about 110 Gigabyte. However, note that some of the SoftDenchi items don't allow me to save/backup the real install files, so that may add two or three GB. And this includes a lot of non-erotic things like Master Blaze, Elder Blaze, The Convenience Store, Tir nan og, ..... On the other hand, it does not include genuine freeware I collected.
So, in the end, I have no idea (^_^;;

Well, that depends on your point of view, I guess. I suggest we leave this at "I like to have a good time" :) :) :) :)
Maybe I should have taken a capture of my desktop computer's desktop instead - there are more titles people would have recognized, like Heroes of Might and Magic V, Ys Origin, Sorcerian, SimCity Societies, ... but it's not really worth it, given that it is the same layout, only with a few different icons...

@deathworks:

Ah, that is part of SRC (Simulation RPG Construction) which is an engine that allows you to create and play simulation RPGs (like the Robo War series). I have to admit that I have not really followed the very active development of it.
There is a very productive community around it, and it is genuine freeware:

That's the same as my desktop (I got my laptop a year ago with XP installed). Windows XP allows you to install full Japanese support from the settings/region settings menu. The fonts and everything are on the installation disk. So, if you wished, you could actually run these things.

From my experience, there are a lot of reasons to distinguish at least between the Japanese and the English internet - they differ both as for the distribution of alternative culture communities are concerned as well as for standard rules. For instance, how many people not involved with Japanese sites know the concept of "link-free" sites? As far as I know, that concept is not really present on the English internet.

the weird box is my overview panel for my desktop (6 screens). the selected screen is highlighted in light green. the other boxes you can see within the screens are shells, or applications ran from a shell. in this case in the upper middle firefox is running. in the lower middle i normally put my working shell. the upper left is only for administration purpose. and in the lower right there had been gimp running, as tool to take a snapshot.
i migrated this from work, because i appreciated it's efficiency (there are a lot of shortcuts, that i don't need a mouse).
if you are intested in: my windowmanager is fvwm1 (i don't like the fvwm2 syntax and didn't want to convert the whole config-file).

but do I need this? if 6 screens are all I have to remember... I'm getting used to invoke shells dependent on tasks on different screens. bottom right normally is irc. upper right is work / coding. bottom left university stuff. but of course it depends on being at work or staying at home.
edit: of course there are shortcuts, to invoke pop-up-menus, including one from where I could choose any terminal (with descriptive information about current status given) on the desktop. normally I don't use this. there isn't so much independent, but currently important stuff going on.

Pah. I used to do that, a few years ago. Then I got all paranoid about backing up files, while not wanting to duplicate effort and back things up twice (which is kinda the point of backups, but whatever). So I used my desktop as a staging area for all new files, to be placed in more appropriate locations later. "Later" being the next time I conducted a system-wide backup, because I'm OCD like a motherfucker and don't want to move anything out of wherever I originally dropped it. Especially since leaving everything to que up on the desktop makes an interesting, if mildly disturbing, timeline of my activities.
Anyway, my latest desktop. I reformatted lately, and just left the background system-default teal. Since about 2003, I've been using various Sonic the Hedgehog shots and promos for desktop art, for no particular reason beyond them being kinda cool to look at, and I find a new one every other year or so. This was the first time I went looking for one, just on principle.

media/music/artist/album/
That's 4 folders, but it's in a very organized manner to make it easy to find what you want.
media/pictures/vacation/grandcanyon/
etc... (edit: this is how I organize my folders... and it's one of my biggest gripes with Linux Applications that like to store their settings in any one of a million different ways. I wish I could get them all to agree to put their settings folders in $settings/appname/ or something similar.)

More likely it's a bunch of stuff created by various programs for storing metadata and such.
Bingo!
322 folders are from my 9 versions of Dwarf Fortress, 152 folders are from Photoshop Portable CS4 Extended, about the same amount as the latter from my programming projects, and the rest are in small amounts.

The icon under the date is the only shortcut, it took me a while to find an icon that didn't look to bad and I had to trick windows into using a hardspace as file name, but I managed to fit it in.Spoiler: big picture (click to show/hide)

That doesn't really make much sense if you think about it. If you read from left to right / top to bottom the best place for the start menu is top left where you would start to read... not bottom. I move my start menu up top because it's less mousing (all the menus are up there, etc.) but I never thought about it in a "reading" manner. If that's what they were going for with the Start Menu placement, they've apparently failed epically in implementing only half of the convention.What?

How'd you get the taskbar to span across both screens Volatar?I know nVidia had a setting for that... not sure where it's buried now. The "downside" to it though is that some games recognize the entire width as a single screen so if you load up something in fullscreen it will place your center of focus right where the borders of your monitors are (if they are both the same resolution, etc.)

Could be worse. The store I work at had one customer who literally had more icons and files on the desktop than windows could display even at max resolution. As well as more things running in the system tray than windows would display. It gives up on those at 100 or so.
My home desktop and work desktop are relatively clean. Not spartan but definitely not too bad. At work it's a bunch of PDFs that I need. At home it's mostly shortcuts to games.

I used to have only Recycle Bin, My Computer, My Network Places, and My Documents and then use the Quick Launch for all of my icons. But now I've decided it's easier to just add the Desktop as a tool bad on the task bar and throw all the icons there. That way I can get to them however I want.

I have more icons than my desktop can show, but I have them turned off, since I use the desktop more for a temp space than anything else.
That probably won't slow windows down then, but if they are all visible then all the stuff gets loaded into memory and slows down the computer. (WAY down if you have thousands of files like the guy I was talking about had, and he had installers and stuff too, not just shortcuts.)
I keep a shortcut to a 'junk' folder on the desktop so I can easily put files there instead. Load on the operating system: 1 shortcut.

When I was eight I used to think it was cool to have tons of icons, so hit ctrl + a and create shortcut. It wasn't a very pleasant sight. Also, to add more stuff than your desktop can show (and to view it later on) open your desktop in explorer.

The TF2 achievement icons are surprisingly suitable for my taste in desktop backgrounds, simple sleek pictures with few colors.

Powertoys included a really crappy virtual desktop switcher (maybe I was spoiled by Linux, but I thought it was pretty crappy)... I'm pretty sure there was never a "compiz-like cube" in any version and I don't think there was a wallpaper switcher.

Sure, it takes a little bit longer to open some programs or folders, but it's the price I pay for having a nice, clean desktop.'s quite nice not having crap covering up you nice wallpaper isn't it? :)Yeah I've got no icons, you wanna fight about it?Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm used to it from when I was using my old Mac.
Except the taskbar is much more useful than the dock.
The only things I keep pinned are cmd.exe, task manager, explorer, control panel, and Chrome.

I modified the 2nd and 3rd To Do's to have different graphics. 2nd one is a frozen flame sprite (which opens when clicked on) from what could've been a sequel to Chrono Trigger (as a mod), the other I modded from the same rainmeter skin's resources. As for the ship, I snagged it from XWAUpgrade.com and trimmed off the extra markings for a seamless pic. Thank goodness those were PNGs (and reasonably big so I could reduce it cleanly; alternatives are also available with different angles of the same ship). The radial clock I found when looking through Rainmeter Skins. Everything else aside, as usual, sensitive information has been censored for my safety. Oh, and the first To Do I change the color of depending on the total score that is up at the moment. Blue-green-yellow-orange-red-black, of course, is the color progression I use for it.
I like my setup. Takes a moment to load, but it's nice.
EDIT:
Here's the frames of the frozen flame (I used 1 (off) and 3 (on)) (Got rid of the white space):

The only real setback to all this is the colors, and keeping it all visible if I end up changing backgrounds (which if I choose a good landscape BG, the ship will still be appropriate). This is probably the best setup I have made for all this so far. I know where everything is, all my reminders are there, and I still have room to cram more crap in.
If I want to go overboard: provided I know enough languages well enough, I'd might as well just mesh them all together, and just for kicks, make it look like a Blue Sun background with Japanese (what I'm interested in learning) as a secondary text mixed with the standard writing; and probably make it look more interesting. Now then, if Rainmeter can support Japanese characters. Not as if it isn't already hard enough to understand everything at first glance (at least, from a distance).

One of about 400 or so wallpapers, a new one of which is randomly selected every ten minutes. Across the top is Rainmeter with Gnometer2, along the right side is RocketDock, where I keep all my icons, and the lower-left-hand corner is my corral for random shite (Stardock Fences).
All in all, very minimalist, the way I like it. Until recently, I was using Omnimo2, but I got sick of not being able to see my desktop past the boxes and such.

I suppose you've a point but... just because she's hugging her a bit weird means she'll kill her...? I find that logic to be... inherently flawed. On so many levels. But as it's after 3 in the morning and in the interest of not martyring myself for a picture I won't bother to press the point, interpret it as you will then.

just what from gnome are you using?Metacity manages the windows, and like I said, I have a gnome panel hidden on top (I think I can replace it with pypanel or something). I've also got gvfs, which, along with libimobiledevice, allows me to mount my iPod on the desktop. I also use various tools from gnome, the terminal, nautilus, etc (They're configurable through a registry like interface, which is pretty cool if you ask me). Nautilus is also extremely extensible.

Just the basic gnome terminal.
The backgrounds are sprites from a Pokemon romhack that replaces all of them with Touhous.
I remember that.

I think i've got my battery meter done. Perl script reading from /sys piping into dzen.
Conky's battery_time function just returns "unknown" (or was it "unavailable"? i forget)... i think i could patch the source if i really wanted to... i've been reading a fair bit of C/C++ source lately, and it doesn't sound like too difficult a modification

I'm aware of this - I've hacked about with skins myself. It's just a bit imposing to repurpose two different sets of code for it to function, then actually look nice and do stuff I want it to. The code for the iTunes stuff is actually pretty simple, but the code for Skitma's open/close animation is far from simple. I've also no idea how that code will affect the iTunes code, etc., etc.
I'll take a whack at it over the next week or so, see what I can do.

Yup. Have to do a couple registry tweaks to get it working - that being taking ownership of ExplorerFrame.dll and replacing with a modded version to allow the taskbar and so on to look the way it does, and a one use of a utility that allows you to change what your start button looks like.

Backtrack Linux 4. I was looking for something to run a USB flash drive, and I just happened to find this little sucker. It's got everything from your standard gnu toolchain and editors to disassemblers and dehashing tools. A bit to heavy for my tastes, I also don't like the fact that it runs KDE (The lack of keyboard shortcuts can drive a guy insane :-P.). It's great and all, but I think I'd be better off putting together my own set of tools using Slackware. I'll give it a shot later this week.
Slackware's nice, especially on a desktop; I have it running on my laptop, but it took some significant doing to make everything work with some of the more obscure hardware.
Backtrack is also nice, but be careful where you use it if you like to run it on other people's machines, especially around schools or businesses; since Backtrack is primarily a security tool, it could get you in trouble.

Installed Slackware a few times on my drive, just to get the hang of things. Put together an initrd, installed grub, and to my surprise, it booted up just like any other operating system. I spent the rest of the week configuring it to my leisure.
Slackware doesn't come with a way to download packages off the net, so I wrote my own apt-get-like program that does just that. Earlier, some guys at #slackbuilds told me some guy already thought of that last year :-|. Great, I just wasted 12 hours of my life.

For the desktop unknowledgable, how does one go about using custom desktop icons?
On Linux (if I remember correctly, Windows is the same) you can right click, choose properties, and it'll let you change the icon.
Also, go to /wg/.
They have everything you will ever need to know regarding using Rainmeter, Windows docks, custom taskbars, and, of course, getting new wallpapers.

Vista hogs about a GB of RAM while idling.
That's because it handles the RAM differently. If I remember correctly, instead of trying to use as little as possible, it fetches things it thinks you might need and places it into the RAM beforehand so that in the case you do access it it goes much faster. The OS will gladly let this "prepared" RAM go when a program needs it.

No, it's not. That would be silly.

flash memory is faster for random reads (1ns) than HD, i threw in a 1gb flash drive to my grandmother's vista 512mb ram computer, performance was so much better but i wouldn't reccomended it for gaming.B:get a readyboost flash drive to throw some extra memory without blowing out cash (cheaper but slow)Swap memory? You can expand Windows' swap file to as large as you want as long as you have enough disk space. It's in My Computer under properties I think.

I'm also wondering about desktop enhancement programs for XP. I want to make it slightly prettier and more functional but I don't know how much ram it eats up. I like to play Tf2 and I turn off pretty much everything so I can play it with no FPS issues whatsoever, so I don't want yet another thing eating it up. What would you guys recommend?
WindowBlinds (though I've had some bad experiences with that) for the shell. I'm pretty sure you can hack in stuff too.
There's also stuff like RocketDock, which is an app dock a la OS X, and Rainmeter (which I myself use) which enhances the desktop and adds some functionality. There's also Fences and BumpTop.
Emerge Desktop replaces the lot, which seems pretty cool.

check out styleXP. it's similar to windowblinds, but has little to no performance impact.

I don't think this old P4 can handle anything higher than 1280 by 1024. It used to be state of the art a few years ago.Don't worry about having a low resolution - a few years ago, I had to play Diablo II in 640*480 because my monitor couldn't handle 800*600 and it was still just as awesome.

GNOME-what? I don't see anything that looks GNOMEish there...I'm using GNOME's set of software, Nautilus, Evince, gedit, etc.
Also, are those tabs in your rxvt? How? (I'm guessing a perl script, but which one?) It looks much nicer than urxvt-tabbed >_>I think it is urxvt-tabbed, just add "URxvt.perl-ext-common: tabbed" to your Xdefaults file.

Nice, the Xdefaults change did it. I've never cared for tabbed terminals before (thought they looked horribly ugly), but this I'll have to try for a while.

EDIT: Sorry, x8, not x4. Not impressed with the AA. Word on the street is that it's broken in Crysis for Nvidia chipsets, but this is an ATI 6850.

I'm having a little trouble setting up menus. It does feel kind of half finished right now, even if the half finished state feels polished for what it is.
I'd really love to be able to put links to directories on a toolbar, and have the directory appear as a menu when clicked on. That would be amazing. The closest I can figure out so far is putting links to directories on a button bar. Still useful, but not amazing. I might just end up clearing everything off my desktop if I can figure something out.

Yatta! So I'm not doing anymore with it tonight. I will set up menus for stuff as I need them. I just set up the one for Dwarf Fortress to experiment with for now. When I left-click on it (bottom left) I get to navigate my dwarf fortress folder as a menu. If I right-click on it, it has a list of all the executables I've hand-picked as important and a link to the folder itself. I should rarely have to navigate actual folders anymore. I plan to do this for everything. This will actually be a pretty big deal when I start applying it to art project folders and apps. I'll save so much time navigating and managing screen space.
This also allows me to move everything on my desktop and uninstall Fences. I get that much more pleasurable viewing of my thousands of rotating wallpapers now (I love Wallpaper Master).

How's performance/load time compare, SharpEnviro vs. Explorer?
One of the biggest reasons I've switched over to primarily using Linux is how much faster it boots...
'course, I guess even with the shell replacement there's still a lot of background services, but the question stands.

What does it replace? I mean, looks like it just swaps explorer.exe out with a different window manager and taskbar, all of Windows the apps are still there. Also, can you still use Explorer as your file manager?

You do realize that with Fences, you can double-click the desktop and any icons on it will go away?
Yeah. That's mainly what I used it for. But now it's unnecessary. Instead of putting shortcuts and folders of stuff on the desktop and double-clicking to hide/unhide and then navigating through those folders for the stuff I need, I can just make a series of menus to those folders and interact with stuff in them without even having to actually open up the folder. Plus, I get to eliminate a background process. It's awesome.
This isn't that much of a big deal for general use, but for large project folders with a bunch of files organized in subfolders and such that you want quick access to, it's really nice.
I used to have a Dwarf Fortress folder on my desktop and when I wanted to boot up the game, I had to do a bunch of navigating into every subfolder to open up the game and whatever utilities I wanted and would typically keep a couple folders open for quick access to stuff like dfhack, screenshots/notes, etc. I could have set up a bunch of links in the start menu and task bar with explorer, but that amounts to a lot of clutter really quickly.
Now it's all in a single button. Plus, this taskbar looks so much nicer than I could ever get it to look under explorer.

Unzip.
Open up the folder you have just created.
Navigate to the skins folder.
Move that to Documents/Rainmeter/Skins.
And then there are several ways to put your new skins on your desktop, I think you can figure that out. :)
As for SharpE problems below me: No idea. I believe it's a problem with explorer.exe being read-only.

O_oI imagine all kinds of fun psychology involved in this stuff. You put pictures of "pain" on your desktop, hoping someone close would see it, see that you're upset. They didn't. Share with broader audience. Wait for someone to ask, "Are you alright?" Getting attention...(no, the irony is not lost on me) filling a need. The avatar says you desire comfort from another, the one desktop says "pain." High emotion swings from that to bright rainbow ponies, now happy ponies confused.
Wut?
I would say someone close (or someone you'd like to be close) pissed you off recently. You were looking for a way to express it. Ta-da! Desktop wallpaper thread.
... Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it as I sometimes do. ;) (Edit: To be clear, I'm not insinuating anything... just got that vibe.)
My first thought on that is, "What happens if the ship(?) flies by a bright ass star and blinding light shines in that windows when I'm trying to sleep."Meh. Its okay.Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Bottom bar is too ingrained. Default windows set-up for 15 years. I do have to switch back and forth between home/school/work computers, after all. There's too much usability shock if I make my home rig too much different from the others.

(assuming we're talking about Windows machines here)
Launching apps: unless you're stuck on XP, WinKey and start typing should get you there 90+% of the time
Switching apps: Alt-Tab is your friend, or WinKey+Tab if you wanna look cool
Systray: fair point, but how often do you actually need to click on something down there? "Safely Remove Hardware" probably the most often if you're moving between computers often (also, if your bar's on the right, the tray doesn't move much :P)
Post by: SalmonGod on April 27, 2011, 09:08:29 pm
I often use alt+tab, depending on how many windows I have open.
I often have background processes such as utorrent, wallpaper master, etc on the systray. They're things that I don't need to interact with often but are usually running and the convenient little icon is there when I want them.

Personally, I use dmenu (bound to WinKey+R in openbox config) for most of my app launching. That is when I don't already have a term. open. I guess it's about 50/50 between dmenu and something like "lowriter Final-Project.doc" from a terminal...
Yes, I'm a CLI dork: I don't even have a GUI file manager on Arch. mv(1), cp(1), and rm(1) FTW!
openbox does have a pretty nice menu system, but I only regularly use maybe a dozen gui apps...
dmenu's really nice, but takes a but of knowledge about scripting to get the full use out of. I've got a wallpaper switcher based on it :) WinKey+W and browse around.
I agree. I dual boot because I value my games and various non-Wine compatible programs, and it works well.

Tried to have the desktop change according to the time of day, but I don't understand cron either.
Doing it via cron would be... possible but not easy? Pretty sure it'd require some deeeep magic (or an ugly hack) to get the right $DISPLAY...
Easier method: write a script that determines the time of day (probably easiest to use date(1)), then runs your wallpaper-setter. Wrap the functionality in a loop with a call to sleep (figure out how often your delay should be), then call the script from .xinitrc. (Since it's called from there $DISPLAY is already set)

Agreed just use date and feh (or something similar, and perhaps grep to parse the date) to set background image.

Using date and feh (or in my case gconftool) in the .xinitrc would work only when I start X. I want something to change my wallpaper at, say, 7 pm or something. I'm pretty sure gconftool can change the wallpaper from a terminal regardless of the display. (Nautilus should read gconf and update itself accordingly.)
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash
#begin loop of your choice, prob a while
# format string, prints hour as 0-23 (might be 00-23)
if [ $(date +%H) = "19" ] ; then
#set wallpaper cmd here
;
fi
#adjust the delay to your preference
sleep 60s
#end loop
not familiar w/ gconf et. al., but a crontab's fairly simple, try editing w/
VISUAL=gedit crontab -e
if you've got gedit. Read the crontab manual page for the fomat
you will may still have to write a separate script.
a word of warning about using cron: many distros "anacron" (or something similar) that "catches up" by running cron jobs that came up while the system wasn't booted, this may or may not be what you want

It's 16:10. 1680x1050.
The only problem? I'm running 2x SLI (or at least, I will be by the time that monitor arrives...).

Unless you know of any funky GPU that will run on an x4 or x1 PCIE, I can't hook up a third monitor to this setup.

Custom kernels are incredible. How'd you rename it?
Using Arch's ABS, it was just a tweak in the PKGBUILD (changing '2.6.*-ARCH' to 2.6.*-YourNameHere')
Otherwise:
Quote from: arch wiki
Code: [Select]$ make menuconfig
General setup --->
(-ARCH) Local version - append to kernel release
also:
Code: [Select]
$ du -s /lib/modules/*
48M /lib/modules/2.6.39-ARCH
17M /lib/modules/2.6.39-SolarShado

Default kernels are huge. Strip your kernel of whatever modules you don't need, set its output to "quiet", and you boot in a quarter of the time.
does 'quiet' help w/ speed that much? I thought it just hid the console messages (which I kinda like seeing, but are too fast to see now)

I have no complaints with Arch; it is an excellent distribution.

Post by: Sir Finkus on June 19, 2011, 01:15:39 pm
Package signing?In brief, it's a way to verify that the package hasn't been tampered with since the developer pushed it onto the official repos. In the event a mirror gets compromised and someone puts modified packages up, a package manager that uses package signing will tell you and not install the package (unless you REALLY want to install it). With arch, if a mirror gets compromised you'll have no way of knowing until someone catches it. Someone could hack a mirror, or even offer the developers their services as a mirror, and then upload malicious packages. If you're using that mirror, you're screwed.
For an example of the kind of thing that this will allow, see http://forums.unrealircd.com/viewtopic.php?t=6562 It isn't a linux distro, but it shows how hacked mirrors can cause huge security problems.
http://lwn.net/Articles/434990/ for more information about arch's lack of package signing. I don't really care about all the politics, but I will need package signing before I install arch again.
It really is a pity, I love pretty much everything else about arch, but I can't put myself at risk like that.

Ditch the iTunes, grab Winamp or Foobar.
iTunes is shit.
iTunes is still better than Winamp (I haven't tried the latter). I've found navigation to be much, much better; I'm not sure why most other music players use similar layouts, but they're all obtuse to me.
Maybe they'll get better over time - who knows - but until someone can firmly tell me exactly why iTunes is bad and WinAmp is great and that the latter is easier to use too, I'll stick with this one.
Post by: ein on June 21, 2011, 03:03:28 am
I, personally, think Foobar is easier to use than Winamp.
But I keep my music meticulously sorted, and lossa albums have multiple artists, so a directory tree view is necessary, which I know iTunes has not and I'm pretty sure Winamp doesn't.
Anyway, the main reason for Foobar is how modular it is.
The layout is ridiculously customisable.

When actively listening, I love love love Milkdrop, and find Winamp's media library to be a pretty powerful organizer. I do wish there were more built-in options to minimalize the program, and there is a woeful lack of pleasant minimalistic skins.
I don't let anything Apple touch my computer anymore. Ever. Nothing. Quicktime and iTunes are both immortal parasites. I consider them the absolute worst of malware. You might as well burn any hard drive Apple touches to dust, because no amount of uninstalling, registry cleaning, and hunting for every last shred of their presence will prevent any Apple software from ressurecting itself like some vampiric Wolverine/Gladdos abomination.

This is my desktop. The first text file was originally supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek horror story thing, and the second was meant to be notes. They're now filled with ramblings, poetry, short fiction, important notes and etc. mostly written while stoned or drunk but sometimes (usually in the case of important notes) while sober.

If that character did not look to be twelve years of age, I would make some remark about how much I like those clothes she is wearing, but, unfortunately, as she does look to be twelve years of age, I shall make no such remark; it shall remain as a secret, for any such mention of favoring such a style of dress when it is upon a child would be creepy. Would that she were nubile that I might express my appreciation of her attire.

It is puzzling that people can be so blithe about doing things while drunk; the notion of doing things without my own consent would frighten me to no end. This is not an inditement of your behaviour, but I think I would personally find it unsettling.

Well she's a youkai so it's more like a much older person in a kids body. But to be fair, I dress kinda like that too so I guess if I was feeling weird I could take this as a complement :P

Please do! If that is so, I am sure that, if it had been your picture, I would have had a similar sentiment, though perhaps I would have been less concerned with being thought perverse.

Dreamscene is an Ultimate version extra with both versions.
I'm pretty sure you can achieve something similar with Rainmeter mods as well as DirectX, and a live text-based background using some terminal tricks or conky in Linux. Not sure about more visual ones in the latter, but if anyone has a solution, I'd love to hear about it.

Meanwhile, I've somehow managed to reinstall Debian without a GUI or anything, so I had to install everything myself. It's a pain, but at least I don't have to deal with restrictive 'environments like GNOME.

You don't need to read the watch if you can control time :PActually, the watch IS her tool to control time. It's probably generally unreadable, though you still need probably need to press something on it to use it. A belt centerpiece is actually a really convenient for a button to be pressed.

True, though in a lot of the games, she doesn't get time stopping either. Just as well, her Hisoutensoku System card is a stop-watch, which actually freezes time in the game for a brief time.Actually, the watch IS her tool to control time.A popular theory, but unsupported by canon.

What kind of backdoors? I don't use either (I've got a Starter.bat file thing), but it sounds interesting to read about.
It was something about the devs logging onto a McAdmin server and dicking about on it. They had an auto-ban feature that'd activate whenever someone tried to reprimand them, which ended up activating on said server's admins.
The really damning thing was a log a former-dev published that showed the lead boasting about the hidden functions he had added on it. It effectively killed the software, IIRC.
I lost the link a while ago, but you can search for it on Google if you want more.

I'm too lazy to change the server things now, no one even plays there anymore. Unless the devs can do something REALLY bad like !Viruz! or mess with files. If they can just ban me I dont really care.

It works, sure, but, it's restrictive, shareware and is counterintuitive. Not something I'd want to keep around for long (seeing as it's Windows-only, too).
They were planning on making it malware, yes, but that was before the controversy started.

This is what happens when I stay single and decide to stay at home. The E8500 is entirely fine for my current server needs except ArmA2. Powerful computers are so cheap nowadays.
Next acquisition has to be a new graphics card when the AMD 7000 series and nvidia 600 series comes out. Uberbox is on a 4850 X2, which works great but runs hotter than blazes.
Post by: kg333 on July 24, 2011, 08:11:38 pm
I am a total geek about such things. I was looking into cheap AMD quad/hexacores CPU/motherboard combos to replace the E8500 when I realised "what the fuck do I even need this for?" "What the fuck would I do with the socket 775?"
This is what happens when I stay single and decide to stay at home. The E8500 is entirely fine for my current server needs except ArmA2. Powerful computers are so cheap nowadays.
I have to ask, why does the E8500 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115036)go for $75 more than the Phenom II X4 965 BE (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727) that I have? Especially when the AMD seems to outperform the Intel by a significant margin? (here's a result for E8500 vs. 955 BE (http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/charts/index.php?pid=64,76&tid=12))
And the answer to your question, of course, is Arma 2, destroyer of processors. ;P

Post by: KaelGotDwarves on July 24, 2011, 08:33:16 pm
But seriously, it used to be that before the release of the Phenom 2s, Intel was doing much better than AMD on many pricepoints and socket 775 was fairly ubiquitous. Meaning intel could heavily overprice their CPUs and get away with it. Then the i7/5/3 series came out and socket 775 is rendered obsolete and no longer manufactured - it's price has gone up. I got my E8500 for $170 with tax. The only reason for anyone to buy an E8500 now is to not upgrade their motherboard. AMD is a great price/performance competitor but right now the i7s are beastly overpowering. Few games actually need that kind of power though, mostly pros and games like DF/ArmA2. Most of the time you'll be bottlenecked by graphics.

Ahahah. I'll make sure to come to you for advice when next buying PC components.
You might as well just get a good cooler and OC the e8500. It's a great overclocking chip, and if you've got a good mobo to go with it, you should be able to go pretty far.

The usual Gentoo Linux + Rxvt, Conky, and this time, Openbox. I've recently moved from GNOME to Openbox, and I love it. I have Openbox set up I don't even need to use a mouse or task bar to get things done. I've got hot keys for everything (I can even pull up a task bar if feel like it.), and some nice scripts that turn my menu into a task and device manager. It's also much faster than GNOME was and it doesn't have as many bugs.
Also, a hand made Openbox theme. They are surprisingly easy to make.

Obviously, those grips are ridiculous. What did they think, she was strong enough in the hands that she would never slip the chainsaw a tiny bit to the side and rip a good chunk of her wrist/hand out? People with meaty fingers wouldnn't be able to use the damn thing without loosing said fingers. Nice one on the gasoline storage, and I like how everything looks, but that chainsaw makes a terrible and self dangerous tool, and a uselessly self dangerous weapon. All it'll ever be good for is decoration.Spoiler: Guess I just felt like chainsaws (click to show/hide)
EDIT: Should be fixed?
Basically saying, the only part that needs to be fixed is the chainsaw. You can't cut wood or people with it without running the well risk of harming yourself.
Or flailing about with the chainsaw, spinning while holding the rear grip. The best that'll do though is getting dizzy, or knocked down because someone simply threw something at you. Reargripping as a tool is also useless because there's virtually no control. :/

Goddammit, guys, I just like the colors. It has nothing to do with the chainsaw, mostly the color scheme D:Basing on color is good. I generally pick background with blended colors and muted tones instead of comprehensible images. Exceptions to that include Planetary/Universe bodies (real and artistic) because I'm in awe at the scales/outcomes in the universe.
If I picked something that could be analyzed for usefulness or reality though, I'd never get any work done because I was analyzing the object's usefulness. Maybe this is why I don't "get" Anime.

I photoshopped it a tad myself to fit my theme.

It also takes up less resources than the default windows shell/explorer, and it's easy if one component crashes to use another to restore it without needing a reboot or task manager. So it's slightly less but much more stable, if that makes sense.

I also have the AOEII soundtracks (both vanilla and expansion uninterrupted tunes like they come on the CDs) as a playlist to play alongside AOE and SW:GB. It's surprisingly very well fitting for Galactic Battlegrounds. Also nice to play both CD tracks sequentially instead of looping just one for the whole time. Works very well when you start with Conquerors soundtrack and then AOEII in that order. At least I prefer starting in that order, and in that loop. And the tracks are much smaller files than I initially thought.Oh, yay! I'm not the only one who plays SW:Galactic Battlegrounds.Spoiler: Due for an update.

Yes, those tabs on the bottom pop out as their names suggest.
The backgrounds are each separately shuffled out of a 295-strong pool of 1080p wallpapers. I gave up on cross-screen-cohesion, as good-looking 3840x1080 wallpapers are almost impossible to find, and I like to have a rotation :P

Post by: Jay on November 17, 2011, 11:28:58 pm
No. I'll try to keep this concise, but 127.0.0.1 is literally impossible in this circumstance. It's the loopback address. If your LAN IP were to be set to 127.0.0.1, you would not be on a network. You would not be on the internet. You would be a single computer, despite the fact that you'd still have a physical connection. That's mainly the reason that you CAN'T set your IP to 127.0.0.1 in any modern OS. Without a router, your LAN IP is identical to the WAN IP. Under a router, it is whatever your local IP is, which absolutely cannot be 127.0.0.1 under ANY circumstances.Er, I do hope your display is just borked (or you tried to be clever in hiding your internal IP, which is completely useless anyway as we'd have to have physical access to your network)Unless they are connected straight to their ISP without a router...

EDIT: I should say, the only exception to that WAN = LAN idea would be when you're just a node on a small area network, perhaps such as an apartment complex or so. I have no experience with that, and can't say I'd recommend being in that circumstance, but it's possible I guess.
EDIT2: And I guess some ISPs might do the same thing to cut on the costs of owning public IP blocks. I can't say I know of any, but it's plausible.

I know how LAN/WANs work... the part I thought you were pointing out is the blank "WAN" labeled address. (You know that the OS doesn't define what a WAN and LAN is, right? It's inconsequential to the operating system what it's called.) That's done in whatever skin they have. If they told the skin to use loopback address for the LAN field, it could be showing that.No. I'll try to keep this concise, but 127.0.0.1 is literally impossible in this circumstance. It's the loopback address. If your LAN IP were to be set to 127.0.0.1, you would not be on a network. You would not be on the internet. You would be a single computer, despite the fact that you'd still have a physical connection. That's mainly the reason that you CAN'T set your IP to 127.0.0.1 in any modern OS. Without a router, your LAN IP is identical to the WAN IP. Under a router, it is whatever your local IP is, which absolutely cannot be 127.0.0.1 under ANY circumstances.Er, I do hope your display is just borked (or you tried to be clever in hiding your internal IP, which is completely useless anyway as we'd have to have physical access to your network)Unless they are connected straight to their ISP without a router...

Question: How do you make a SS of your desktop without the icons in the way?You have a few hotkeys for this kind of task. The easiest combo is 'ctrl'+'a' -> 'shift' + 'del'.
Before you remove that thousand-page paper you almost finished and forgot to back up: I'm kidding.
Can't you just upload the picture you used to make your desktop?
Alternatively, assuming you use windows: 'rightclick - view - show pictograms' should be active, just deactivate it, printscreen, activate it. The text might be slightly different, I'm on a non-english windows.

I can only tell who Fluttershy is due to the hair (it's wavy and long - top right) and Twilight due to process of elimination (seriously I see zero of Twilight's distinguishing features).
Probably because it's monochrome and the fact JJ has a mild case of same-face-itis. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OnlySixFaces)

SUITABLY DWARFY IMAGE COMING RIGHT UP.
Damin Acemourn, the Legendary Fighter. His chosen weapons are his friend Hex's left leg, and an =iron scimitar=. He got 130 kills before he died, and I don't remember the title... that world's long gone. Triptych courtesy of CHILTON!
:D
And yes, I know i have a ton of icons. :3
The story in this triptych is Hex sitting on the ground, with Damin in full armor. Hex is clasping his severed leg.
Panel Two: Damin has taken up Hex's leg as a weapon, and is beating the elf who caused the injury to death. He does so in no more than his trousers because he's confident he doesn't need protection.
Panel Three: Damin stands proud and triumphant over the mutilated elf.

For some reason, having absolutely no icons creeps me out. It just makes my desktop feel... I duno, like a static picture or screensaver or something (Especially since I set the taskbar to autohide too). So I keep the absolute minimal amount of icons, with appropriate style to match the background, to make it feel like an actual desktop.
Though I've been toying with the idea of having one single icon right in the middle of this background, called "Everything" or somesuch.

On Linux (Arch) I've got a sidebar on the right with clock, tray, etc. (Including custom ASCII art)
On Windows (7) I have the taskbar on the same side, with about 6 pinned apps, and a toolbar pointed at my desktop folder. All the convenience, none of the clutter!

Can't say I agree with you there. At least in my case, it is basically a line between 'no icons at all' or 'screen covered in icons', and given that I have a sort of obsession with that type of order, combined with a desire to actually see my wallpaper, I go with the former.

I use my desktop as it's intended to be used, not as some Liberal arts showcase to myself. The background is called a background for a reason, it's the background of the foreground.Is it a showcase to myself if I have no icons and a black background... because I rarely see the stupid thing anyway.

Couldn't you use pretty much any image editor out there to crop it? The issues I see are that there isn't any way to save it, and that google streetview tends to get rather distorted around the edges (also, there are those widgets around the edges as well). What I'd do is print screen, paste it into Paint or whatever you use, and just crop out the outermost ~1/3 all the way around.

Currently have icons two deep running down the left side, which is really a row more then I really like - I should do some cleaning. For those of you who have explosions of icons all over your desktops - how do you put up with it? I'd find it incredibly distracting.

Here's a dirty version.

If you're interested in what's being run, htop (http://htop.sourceforge.net/), inxi (https://code.google.com/p/inxi/). I also use dmenu (http://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/) for launching applications.
The high resource usage is down to a FreeBSD (http://www.freebsd.org/) machine (9-STABLE) running in QEMU (http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page), which is doing a recursive operation in the ports tree.

I figure he's using Ps and Blender to make textures for 3D models. Ai and Fl to make some 2D animation. Np++ for scripting in Blender maybe? Skype to chat with friends/boss/client. Word and OneNote for a script or production notes. Itunes and utorrent for music. I imagine Chrome is for finding textures/tutorials.

I took a break to check for blog updates and visit bay12, had plugged in a SD card recently and was copying images to a project folder (I had another folder open which served no purpose), I was then tracing those images in Illustrator, touching them up in Photoshop and animating them in Flash. I had Blender open because I'd been trying to animate a knife toss but couldn't get it write thus I decided to do it in 2D and left the 3D window open as a reference. Notepad++ was open as I'd ported the resulting flash animation to HTML5 and wanted to make a case for the animation, Word was open so I could write a description for the knife toss, Skype, uTorrent and iTunes were open because they always are and OneNote was open because I'd been using it to take some screen clippings. So now you know.

ok then lol, anyways, neat tip: Try moving your taskbar to the left side of the screen, its odd at first but really easy to work with overall, helped me out alot when working with Blender alongside other stuff.

It's still kind of on a trial-run now, brand new image. Switched out from the old one I had from when I was in the military, which I really liked due to how the whole image just sort of "fits" being on a computer screen, but I keep winding up with machines that have odd screen sizes, so the poor lass got a bit stretched.

It's available in the lowest "upper" forum here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=112083.0).
Also I've got to say that one of the best things I love about mac is the Dock. It's like 40 free icon slots that you can use without cluttering up the desktop. Combine that with the newer macs that let you put folders into the dock and open files through them, and you can very easily access everything you need without ever needing anything on the desktop itself. Of course if you like deathstare wallpapers. :P

Also I've got to say that one of the best things I love about mac is the Dock. It's like 40 free icon slots that you can use without cluttering up the desktop. Combine that with the newer macs that let you put folders into the dock and open files through them, and you can very easily access everything you need without ever needing anything on the desktop itself. Of course if you like deathstare wallpapers. :P
There are applications that emulate this for Windows.

Is that like some bizarre icon-only version of a Start menu? Or, hell, any kind of explorer/file manager?

Windows lets you add "toolbars" to your taskbar, in XP and Vista there was one by default ("quick launch"), in 7 you'll have to manually re-enable it. I forget the exact procedure for making one (right click taskbar->toolbars?), but it'll show the contents of a(ny) folder as icons. If there're more icons than can be displayed, double-arrow appear and get you a (potentially cascading) menu to show the rest.In windows 7, they modified the behavior of the taskbar icons to act much more like the dock icons, other than folders, which you need to add manually.

Anyways, yeah, I never use any icons on my desktop. Generally the only reason things will be on there is because I'm either too lazy to get rid of them, or I don't know where they're actually located (and thus too lazy to look at the shortcut and find out).

You can right-click the recycle bin in windows 7 if its on your desktop and select "empty bin".
Wich is really usefull, and i cant have that function on the task bar, so i have it on my desktop.
You can have that on the taskbar. Just write a batch-script that empties the trash and put it there. My system is set to empty the bin on shutdown but there rarely is something in the trash because usually i really delete things (with rm) and not just put them in in the bin.
Edit: Google says it even is just a one-liner: rd /s %systemdrive%\$Recycle.bin

Spoiler: 1920x1080 (click to show/hide)
I actually have a second, 1680x1050 screen to the left, but I cut that part out because unless it has stuff on it, it looks just like the main one minus the title bar. I usually mess about on the main screen and browse the web on the other. It's also very convenient when playing Dwarf Fortress, as I can, for instance, put DF in fullscreen on the primary screen and DT, DFHack, and Soundsense on the secondary one.
(For all those interested or technically inclined, my title bar consists of two dzen2 instances, one on the left and one on the right. The left one takes workspace input piped from XMonad, while Conky pipes to the right one. Features on the right bar are, from left to right: MPD status [Playing/paused, current song's author and title], CPU use, RAM use, GPU temperature, ALSA master volume, and date and time.)
On a somewhat related note, the seemingly Arch-centric fad of having the entire right side of the desktop consumed by Conky output is, to me, equivalent to icon clutter. Who actually needs to know their individual CPU temperatures, anyway? I'm thinking of making the right side have a drop-down menu for the extra stuff, just in case.

Why do you guys even have desktops if you're not going to use them?
I don't use my desktop for icons, because I don't feel that they help my computing, but I do display information on it that is likely to be useful to me at all times (see the top bar-- I'm also considering using some of the extra space below it to place relevant RSS feeds, e.g. the Arch Linux release news, which one should check before each update). I actually find the use of desktop icons to be a hindrance because they tend to be covered by windows, so I have to move my work aside to click on them. Instead, I use either shortcut keys (for very common applications), or dmenu, which is itself bound to a shortcut key and can launch virtually any program with a few keystrokes due to its autocompletion.

A glimpse into my soul...
Can I do that in Windows XP? :P
That and I hate learning new interfaces, which is ironic coming from someone who intentionally blasts his mind into unrecognizable states of weirdness.
Either way, I like to be a LITTLE space-efficient, but not too efficient. If I really wanted to be tidy, I could have a folder called Links where all those links to other folders could be put... But I don't. I want it all right where I can see it.
As for tabs and firefox, having 2 windows with 36 tabs between them, plus one window I closed right after using it, was my compromise after they introduced tabs and I decided to go along with it.
:P Tab groups, let's see how long I can hold off on that new fangled technology. I managed to avoid getting a cellphone until 2007, and I'm still using Windows XP on my desktop machine. I'm only just now considering updating to Windows 7, and only because of the hardware limits I've run into regarding RAM and disk space. I hate the operating system itself.
Speaking of not saving space... I have a dual boot with Linux and I love being able to switch between multiple desktops loaded with whatever junk I want on each of them. Why simplify your interface when you can add dimensions? :P (Edit: Ubuntu to be specific...)
Post by: Aklyon on July 15, 2012, 09:23:35 am
Also, change tabs on top off if you want and reactivate the menu bar if you don't want the Giant Orange Button.
Post by: Tabbyman on July 15, 2012, 09:50:27 am
I still prefer separate windows. Easier to access, and I can see titles immediately on my desktop without entering a menu that covers everything I was looking at before.
I prefer just single-clicking a title in the taskbar to switch windows.
I already have a habit of forgetting I've got a whole bunch of tabs of one topic of other open... Let's not make it worse by hiding extra groups in an invisible space. :P

They're tougher to find, but there are still plenty of wallpapers out there at 2560x1600 and larger. I have thousands. Unfortunately, most of the really good stuff doesn't go higher than is 1920x1080. Very little promotional or fan art at super hi-res. It's mostly photography and abstracts up here.

I made most of that one myself. I found the vector image as a wallpaper on its own (original here (http://zomgitsalaura.deviantart.com/art/create-your-own-universe-257190523)), with a black background. The stars/clouds background I made myself.
Finding multi-screen wallpapers is difficult, finding 1960 x 1050 wallpapers is impossible. Noone has that resolution, I suppose that's what I get for using two different screens.

N'aww, simply explained I splatted some watercolours on paper, scanned it, took a picture of Greg from Facebook, converted it to B+W, then made the paint only show through on the dark areas, scanned the back of an envelope, put that as the background, added a few more paint splats and added the text.

that is so coolNo, no. It's that it isn't the proper resolution for my screen, and reducing it enough that it fits vertically leaves blank space at the sides. S'better than making it all deformed with stretch-to-fit or cutting off the top and bottom.

Hey miauw, by pure coincidence I have a version of that wallpaper cut by me (for personal use) to a 16:9 ratio (the one you seem to use), if you want i can upload it somewhere and send you a link. You'll not loose a lot because I took away only the lower bit of it.

True. But they tend to fall into one of three categories: Gundam-Mahou Shoujo (you know exactly what I mean :P); (mostly) SFW NanoFate; and decidedly not SFW NanoFate which would probably get me muted if someone reported it. The latter are tricky to manage IRL as well, because I either need to constantly have some sort of window open in fullscreen, or I need to memorize explanations for other students, professors, bosses, and co-workers who have outdated taboos.>.>Thats more or less SFW as far as your backgrounds have been, though.

For that last category though, you've got 'not SFW because of other people' and 'not SFW because its rather obvious its not'.Thanks, you just reminded me to check the status of that fanfic where (just barely) post-accident Nanoha ends up in the 40Kverse, helps Vulkan when he first showed up on Nocturne as a child, and they grow up (killing Dark Eldar) like brother and sister.

It being a windows- screenshot I don't think it's refering to the X window system. Any way: the times when you had to manually edit xorg.conf to get your dual screen or custom resolution to work are over. It's 2 years now that X doesn't even need a xorg.conf file any more. (But you can still create one if you insist on going back to those times.) In that regard things are way better today than they have been in the 00ies.What’s wrong with X?

That is the 3D matrix screensaver, right? I know that you can set screensavers as a background in windows 7 by using the command prompt to open the screensaver into the memory for the desktop, or something like that.

No, see - I am looking to remove some sanity form my life - Debian is rather boring, and i only moved to it because Ubu kept uninstalling gnome when i updated.I know how that is... that's primarily the reason I stuck with Debian instead of jumping on the Ubuntu wagon. There were too many times when my preferred desktop configuration was wiped out and completely replaced.

Also my current desktop is really NSFW and I don't want to censor it. Let's just say though it's an anime pin-up reminiscent of a song hiphop group 2-Live Crew played on the Phil Donahue Show back in 1990 and ToadyOne would b& me for posting it uncensored.

Just because it has a better screen doesn't mean you have to stick to what it came with ;)OSX fits my needs better than windows in most cases. It's actually a decent os once you work past some kinks.
As for wallpapers, I tend to enjoy using patterns, which can easily be tiled or generated to fit the screen. Also, most photographs are already taken at a much higher resolution than most screens and then resized to fit standard desktop resolutions. I just use the full sized photograph and crop it as necessary.

My general rule for Mac vs. Windows is that while Windows is better at getting it to do what you want (assuming that you can figure out how) the things that mac does do are more polished and natural then their windows counterparts. Also mac is willing to play nicely with windows (Most windows file types, line breaks, etc can be read by macs; plus it has bootcamp) windows isn't willing to play nice with mac (Ever open a text edit document on windows? While macs will respect windows line breaks the basic notepad doesn't respect mac ones. The only way to fix it is to open it in some other program, save it, and then open it in notepad). As such my main computer is a mac laptop with bootcamp on it, since it lets me have the bet of both worlds.Just because it has a better screen doesn't mean you have to stick to what it came with ;)OSX fits my needs better than windows in most cases.

Not to mention the fact that iTunes is stupidly slow compared to windows explorer in moving music files around. The last time I had to help someone with it I was able to finish the book I was reading (~250 pages or so till the end) and get some more water before it finished. They did have quite the chunk of music, but seriously. That is a good chunk of book.Personally the only reason I use iTunes on my windows side is that I have it set up so that both my mac and windows side use the same folder and iTunes library. That way regardless of if I add music from my windows side or mac side, I can still listen to it on both.

I may be bias in this (since mIRC was the defacto default chat client when I was into IRC) but unless mIRC has gone extremely downhill since the 90s I can't see how it can be "not good at all." I realize that's quite a few years, but I can't imagine there's much more to IRC in those years.

errr rape is an ear rape my friend Angel of Death(known for his Shadow President LP here)
Jake, Lord of the Spacedicks is my ongoing project, weaponising ear rape. It contains various samples i use in my ear-rape files and also a few completed works. Most of my completed ear rapes goes into the Stuff folder though, so it easier to play em on my friends SS13 server.
Kerbal Piss Porn is just KSP.

Maybe the best solution would be a clean reinstall without backup?
You have scared me to ...heck and back.Also, try a becalming wallpaper.
Then i will loose stuff i cant replace. Also i like that wallpaper because i made it myself.
I had a raven before that as my background.

My wallpaper cycles hourly through an entire folder of wallpapers I've found on the net (Mostly from a few sessions on /wg/)
Any other programs I need quick-at-arms are in my start menu, but ordinarily the only thing you can see on my desktop is the wallpaper itself.

We all have stuff on our desktops as well. Why are you being so judgmental over something like whether someone uses icons on their desktop or a neatly arranged start menu and toolbar to sort their files?

Not incredibly hard. They've got FTL, and the heavy weapons use a (n admittedly well-documented in-universe) method for producing coherent bolts of plasma (or something; it has been a while). Though the military part was "hard", as such things go, considering that Drake was a Vietnam vet. That's how milsf tends to lean, anyways, hard on the military, soft on the science, and skewed on the politics.Yeah, I think that was it.

It's probably bad that my first thought was that he needs to buy a bigger monitor, rather than use more folders. Well, OK, OK, my first thought was actually "GYEH!", but that was my second thought. :PThat's the result of 2 years of "Save File to Desktop".Clearly you need more folders to save to. :P
Dual-monitor configuration, desktops follow. I really should find some new ones at some point; most of my desktop image collection is really quite outdated. As in, 800x600 or 1024x768 outdated. Does anyone even use 800x600 anymore? At any rate, I've also been getting a really bad case of image ghosting if I leave my left monitor on too long for the past 2-3 years, so my usual preference of interesting patterns tends to be rather interesting on that monitor.

So, what do you do when you find an awesome-looking image to use as your desktop background, but it's designed for a monitor with a different aspect ratio than yours or was simply never meant to be a wallpaper in the first place? I have a few images like that, and when my computer attempts to stretch them to fill the screen they tend to leave a lot of the edges out. This is, as you might expect, a bigger problem for some images than others.I would suggest loading up a blank document the size of your screen in photoshop or gimp or other simaller progroms and then stretch and crop it accordingly there. Other then that idk.

And other then cropping/resizing the only other options that I've seen are:
A)fill in the background to fill the picture. This works great for simple object on colored background pictures, not so great on others.
B)Have black bars around the picture.

Yes, just checked. It's in the second ending of season 1, but the original image has been flipped and the colors enhanced and brightened considerably. Here's a side-by-side:

There are also dedicated wallpaper sites out there, though you basically have to choose between the ones with lots of spam ads and the ones with NSFW content.

Other than that, as Sirus said, you can just image search for what you want, and follow up on artists that you like.Well, when I get linked to an image I like (say, on deviantart), I'll often to a quick bit of poking around other images by the same artist.

I dug through my old wallpapers and found a couple from this person (http://radojavor.deviantart.com/). Apparently he's moved up in the world, if he's doing art for CA. I fell in love with his naval artwork, but the two I had pulled that may be of interest to you are this (http://radojavor.deviantart.com/art/Old-Submarine-120966865) and this (http://radojavor.deviantart.com/art/Derelict-123053062), naval wrecks in a post-apocalyptic world. I also went dredging through an old collection of a few desktops that a friend sent me a few years back that I'd meant to clean up for a while and came up with a couple you might like, plus another one by Okita. I'm afraid I couldn't tell you where he got the works originally, though; from the file formats, he must have culled them from an image board or something.Ah, Necromancy.

I dug through my old wallpapers and found a couple from this person (http://radojavor.deviantart.com/). Apparently he's moved up in the world, if he's doing art for CA. I fell in love with his naval artwork, but the two I had pulled that may be of interest to you are this (http://radojavor.deviantart.com/art/Old-Submarine-120966865) and this (http://radojavor.deviantart.com/art/Derelict-123053062), naval wrecks in a post-apocalyptic world. I also went dredging through an old collection of a few desktops that a friend sent me a few years back that I'd meant to clean up for a while and came up with a couple you might like, plus another one by Okita. I'm afraid I couldn't tell you where he got the works originally, though; from the file formats, he must have culled them from an image board or something.You are the best person ever that ever was the best ever.

Oh, and for my own desktop, it's still identical to my previous post five or six months back, so I won't particularly reshoot it.

Yep. That first one, I'm not quite sure if it's a Cirno/Utsuho ship or the end results of a Cirno/Utsuho ship, though I'm leaning towards the latter as there does seem to be a distinct mixing of the character styles. Either way, adorable.@alway: Which anime is the first one?Both those desktops are from Touhou, a series of bullet-hell games.
The second is Nitori, in one of the few images I could find which wasn't creepy loli shit and which portrayed her as sufficiently badass.

The second important point is to check if your CPU supports the faster RAM. If you overclock your RAM to more than what is supported by the CPU you will run into the mentioned instability issues.

You sure you needed to crop them? There might be a rescale option or something to fit it to the desktop.
There should be an option to fit it to your desktop if you've got anything remotely like a modern OS. It'll be under the personalization options in your control panel.
Yeah, but those squish the image and that bothers me even more than cropping it. It doesn't account for the toolbar, either. At least if I crop it it still looks somewhat okay-ish.
You know, you could have just cropped it closer to the top.
I only cut out the bottom part of the image- her head is just really close to the top of the picture.

Isn't tulpa the theory that if enough people believe something is real it becomes real, or something like that?It's a theory that started off as a minor internet urban legend where people would tell stories of fake people supposedly trying out the Tulpa thing and creating an imaginary friend, then going crazy. Except some people either started to think it was actually real/pretended it was real for kicks on the internet. I genuinely remember seeing those kinds of stories pop up last year and literally six months later, you see people saying it's totally real and they made their own special imaginary friend.

- It's disturbingly easy to get the human brain to hallucinate something. It's a common side effect of mental illnesses and drugs for a reason, and studies show that practically all children hallucinate regularly, and even sleep deprivation induces it. It's not all that surprising the right meditative technique can do it as well.
- You know that thing where you're writing or roleplaying, and one character is so easy to write that it becomes automated and almost writing itself.
- It can be argued, according to some philosophical theories, that the only criteria for personhood is behavior, not any technical "realness" or having a body
So basically some people imagine a character, make themselves hallucinate it, and automate the control of it so much it feels like it's acting on its own. And they don't put in a forth wall. The result is not really anything much more than you'd expect from those components, but has interesting philosophical implications if you're into that kind of thing.
Basically, a tulpa is as "real" as a dream. There are plenty of people that argue that a reoccuring dream character that seems to act consistently and keep memories of previous dreams as a person as well. A dream is a fair bit more "real"-like than a daydream or visualization, if you consider realness to be a fluid thing.
Me? I mainly consider inducing hallucinations like this dangerous and avoid it for the same reason I avoid hallucinogenic drugs. *Most* people I've seen with tulpas seem to enjoy the experience, but a bit to many are out of touch with realty for it to seems safe. As for "realness" and "person" those are just words humans made up, and I just go straight to the raw math of utility functions and game theory where there is no need for them to determine my actions.
Tulpas mostly have properties associated with "imaginary" things such as not having a body and only being able to communicate with one person, and others associated with "realness" such as being able ro provide comfort, ure loneliness, and have ideas attributed to them. Basically, if "not-real" is mammals and "real" is everything else, tulpas are the platypus.

Idealizing the pursuit of personal perfection, and the acceptance of apparent flaws as a necessary component of the path to enlightenment. The value of rationality in understanding of a world that may not be rational. The interplay between the physical and the spiritual and the symbolism that links them.I don't even like gold colors that much, I'm just really in a mood for the philosophy that I've associated with that image.That philosophy being?
It's the basic symbol for Alchemy in a game I'm, very slowly, writing.

It's in a concept stage right now (I've yet to have the time to actually work on it or test it out). What it is is basically using Rainmeter and Rainlendar for the interface, and having that overlayed on top of Electric Sheep (or any screensaver activated as a desktop background) as an animating background. Basically I can Hollywoodify the desktop to look more like how many hacker desktops and such look in movies.
When I have it setup, I'll post a screenshot of it. I hope it looks as cool as I think it would. If it works as well as I think it would, I can probably make a BAT script out of it, and maybe use it for startup so it looks that way whenever I start up my machine.

I would definitely like to see this (ideally in motion!) if/when you get it working. IT SOUNDS AWESOME.
I've always liked the idea of animated wallpaper, but between the questionable usefulness, rarely actually seeing it, and laptop battery-life concerns, I've never seriously looked into it.
I do know that the xscreensaver package on Linux contains many interesting animations that can be set as your desktop background. I've got a script (somewhere) to get Matrix-style "digital rain" animating on your desktop. It worked on my Arch setup, I'll try to find it if someone's interested.

Anyway, on a side note, what sort of animation performance are you getting with that? Choppy FPS/high resource consumption, or is it unnoticeable regarding performance?
Because at one point, I was interested in some 3D animated, transparent objects rendered between the desktop icons and the lowest level windows, and that was quite the hack. Render to DirectX rendertarget, hack some window pointers to grab the pseudo-window the OS renders the icons onto, manually alpha-blend in the image from the DX rendertarget, with an RGB to YUV color conversion in there somewhere.... Slow as heck, but a rather interesting effect.

Make a BAT file in Notepad, and put this in (replace es.scr with whatever screensaver you want; in this case, I have Electric Sheep setup):
Code: [Select]
@echo off
start es.scr /p65552
exit
In order to close the screensaver background, make sure you're in it (clicking the taskbar icon of it or ALT+TAB) and ALT+F4 to quit. Some other screensavers are not so friendly about that, and may require Task Manager or Process Explorer to quit them. That's also why I love using Electric Sheep as the main animating background with Rainmeter. It's easy enough to close down and restore back to regular desktop mode with my icons and such.
I also just realized this, but if you also have a 'Show Desktop' button in your taskbar anywhere, you can access your desktop icons and minimize the screensaver background, and depending on Rainmeter settings, keep that up as you click on whatever shortcut you have on the desktop. I'm liking this setup.
EDIT:
Oh, right, and the screensavers used as backgrounds are still adjustable from the screensaver options you can access regularly.

Forget it; I tried it out, and it doesn't work as well as I thought.

It's a tad buggy at times, but it's still able to serve it's purpose. After reloading the duo, the rest of the toolbar came back.

A good resource-easy application would be having Electric Sheep operating at 5 FPS (default is 30 FPS, and really neat, resource-hungry, and may cause motion sickness is anywhere above 40 FPS (I dare you to use 60 FPS)). Keeps the processing power reasonable, and still animating at a noticeable rate. I think the Android app does something similar to spare battery power or something.

It's basically a way of preventing me from cheating the system by using work as an excuse of fulfilling the Lent task/sacrifice.
EDIT:
Of course, the mental exercise is continuing to learn programs like Blender, keep rust off of programs like Illustrator and Photoshop, coming up with new ideas and concepts, and applying them/debugging applications of ideas (Like with this new ES-RM thing), and so forth. Games, unless sufficiently challenging may somewhat count, but they have to teach me something new, or refine my skills in the process (like reaction timing and such; Race the Sun could work, to a degree on reactions, but it would have to stick with me to count; but that's giving games an excuse to count, which seems a tad unacceptable, since I'll just be playing games, instead of doing something productive.).

Got my ES-RM desktop finally made. It's a tad redundant, but I like the setup right now. It's prettier than functional, but at least I now don't have just a regular ol' screensaver anymore; same can be said about the desktop (still able to access shortcuts, and bring back the pretty at the drop of a hat), and now it has stats and a few minor controls added to it while at it.Spoiler: Full scale, and sensitive information has been censored (click to show/hide)

Kinda a pseudo-screensaver with info as I see fit. The BAT file and the time it takes to load up both programs is really quick, and quitting them is just as quick and easy. I just have to remember to shut it/keep it off if I start doing any gaming-related stuff, or anything more intense.

I just have to remember to shut it/keep it off if I start doing any gaming-related stuff, or anything more intense.Suggestion: Since Rainmeter obviously has access to various data like CPU usage, code it to automatically shut off when it detects relatively high CPU usage for several seconds or so.

If you're on Windows, that is.
Most of what Itnetlolor has seems to be the standard included widgetry, please correct me if I'm wrong. But it's relatively easy, depending on your coding/scripting skills, to create your own stuff.

Not so; installing elementary OS Luna and getting it up and running properly requires as much know-how as doing the same with Ubuntu 12.04. It does, after all, use 12.04 as its core.

We'll drink the wine till the cup is dry,
And kiss the girls so they'll not cry,
And toss the dice until we fly,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows.
We'll dance all night until the moon runs free,
And dandle the lasses upon our knee,
And then you'll ride along with me,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows.
We'll sing all night, and drink all day,
And on the girls we'll spend our pay,
And when it's gone, then we'll away,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows.
There's some delight in ale and wine,
And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows

I just realized that the character that's serving as my desktop background image might be a young Piastol from Skies of Arcadia. I don't know why it took so long to figure that out, since I've had this background for years and played Skies of Arcadia months ago.Can you post the image in the desktop thread? I'd like to see it.

I believe that this (http://www.zerochan.net/299434) is the original source, but as one of those wallpapers that seems to have been copied to every single "anime wallpapers for free" site on the net it's a bit difficult to tell for sure. I didn't find any other sources on art sites (excepting one on deviant art that seemed like a blatant crop without attribution), so that's the most "Artistically valid" site I've found so far, at least.

How many times did you have to Deep Dream that mofo?15 I think.
Thats... surprisingly coherent looking for a deep dream image. :P
Here's my current desktop(Also WTF imgur! I give you a perfect PNG and if it's over 756 KB you convert it to a horribly compressed jpg image. If, on the other hand, I take my 2MB png and first convert it over to a 1.8MB best quality jpg then you store it just fine that way! This is idiotic! >:()Spoiler: Warning: Ponies (click to show/hide)
If you continue iterating over an image with deepdream, the hints become more and more concrete as deepdream is able to find more details it can impose upon the preexisting image.
I might actually take that desktop. It's coherent and sane compared to the one I'm using.
