hey, im not able to put an image witin the IMG tag, it gives me the following error: Sorry, dynamic pages in the [IMG] tags are not allowed
Deftone
thats coz ur not linking from the image itself...from the last possible viewing image...must go in all the way, to the image not the preview and then right click the picture and copy THAT link
TrickFinlay2
oh alright cuz i was trying to figure that out too,deftone again saves the day
Deftone

and please stick to the topic of posting images or commenting on posted images, once again I will be having a zero tolerance policy for this thread, just as I've done for all the other desktop threads. so don't complain if your irrelavent posts have been deleted.

Mine looks basically the same as it did last time I posted only Samurize has been disabled from startup.

april04 desktop

Stuff on the left is Samurize made by myself. (Just noticed there is something up with my memory meters)

Wallpaper is called Complex and is from Deviantart.

VS is Slate PDC - lovely VS but what are the odds of MS keeping it for Longhorn's final release?

This is my fav desktop yet
Troa34
I like it a lot besides the taskbar, seems too round for the overall feel, but I really like the samurize look.
.::PHPfanatic::.
I don't like saying this ... but ... ditto.
This is definitely a change for you, redsquirrel ... not the normal desktop we see from you (this one's futuristic).
Deftone
I like it overall, in comparisson to my bare desktop
gofikphoenix
Stop making us feel sorry for you Def tongue.gif

Your honoured to be inside my screenshot smile.gif

Enjoy...

anakinsolois

.::PHPfanatic::.
I only have 4 and those are...
Opera, eMule+, Firefox (~.05 usage), Bin.
anakinsolois
i have 38 icons and folders on my desktop!!
Deftone
i have 1 icon on my desktop..the trashcan...but anyway

thnx for having me in there gofik. I like the background . Where from?
Rezza
5 hours after a fresh format:

.::PHPfanatic::.
That's very nice for 5 hrs after a format ... you are on an install blitz Rezza. tongue.gif
Deftone
not that hard if u got partition magic and a few images of your windows OS on that partition from when u had ur last reformat withal the apps installed..then with partition magic u can load that image again and ur reformat now took 10 minutes instead of 70 minutes

but anyway, back to posting desktop screenies pplz
.::PHPfanatic::.
I didn't think about that Deftone, good point.
I may post mine at some point because I was going to see how 2To v1.1.1 looked only it's not being displayed as a selectable theme for some reason. I don't understand why not.
gofikphoenix
Well Anakin the reason people only have a line of desktop items is because we don't really need loads of icons, look at PHP's sig...

QUOTE
Don't let postcount deceive you, it does not necessarily reflect knowledgeably.
Semicolon, comma ... what's the difference? More accurately ... who gives a glavin?


(Very nice PHP smile.gif ) Just replace the word postcount with 'the amount of icons' and then you should be proud smile.gif Be yourself man smile.gif

Anyway the bg is Gasmask Fetishism i found it on DA but cant find it anymore, lucky i got it on my hardrive smile.gif Well actually the original is from DA i took it and made it negative... enjoy...

no, i dont say that ppl are anyless techy if they have fewer icons. Im just lazy, so i wonder how ppl can survive without all those shortcuts!!
Deftone

I designed a background for geeknewzers (april issue). Didn't take long and i had some spare time. I know its basic hehe. size 1024*768....

Check it out.

Deftone
indeed very basic, though u might wanna put that in the wallpaper section since its more appropriate there than here

That's pretty nice Jason. I see Norton Antivirus CE there and however, may I recommend using the shell32 hack as opposed to WB. I have Grayscale as an available theme but there were certain aspects of it that didn't suit me, everything seemed to blend together almost too much. Nice though.
gofikphoenix
i used to use that wallpaper Jason... v nice.
Fixedamage
Thanks
redsquirrel
click me

changed my desktop around a bit. can't seem to find a nice vs at the moment.
gofikphoenix

pretty simple,

1152 x 864 is my res. I'm using a 17" monitor and found 1024x768 to be too small and 1280x1024 far too big.

new look to my comp. Still need to add a few more things but so far so good. I know its not really original this being part of a set of skins and such but I like it! tongue.gif

http://www.geeknewz.com/imagedb/albums/use...prildesktop.JPG

figured I'd sneak one in before the end of the month. Not a whole lot has changed, gant, hmmxp, tribal scorpion background, classix wmp skin.
.::PHPfanatic::.
Where did you find the classix wmp skin Troa? I very rarely use wmp or any media player for that matter... but I must know nevertheless.

If I were a pedant I'd close this thread and create the new one right now since it is 12:00 but I want an answer to my question first you see. wink.gif

Thanks for the link Troa.
