Ryuusei, how the heck do you function with such an unclean and cluttered desktop?! O_o

[EnsignRyusei]

I actually try to keep the icons along the edges so it doesnt fill up the screen

[Cole Tyger]

i use this one as my desktop

Post the clean versions of your desktops. Nobody wants to see your icons.

My most recent 2:

He did say post your desktop, rather than your desktop wallpaper.  Otherwise how can we start flame wars about what software and operating system everyone is running without anyone having to specifically ask?  Here's my wallpaper, made with my awesome lasso and slider skills in Photoshop.

My desktop.  Image is split as I have two backgrounds for the dual-screen setup.

But if we don't have the clean version how can you expect others to use the images for their desktops? I'd use that one you posted if the lime green in the background wasn't so eye-killing.

Here, heres the WALLPAPER I use on my DESKTOP. If I recall theres a wallpaper thread somewhere on the board, so this one was different, but I guess we can just have two because obviously any protest made towards you will wind up with a deleted post. Not hard to say "Requesting wallpaper please!"

So heres my wallpaper, I fully expect the rest of the post to be wiped because someone gets butthurt.

The green isn't as bad as it looks once it's actually on the desktop, though I mostly did that because that's what the picture's default background was, and I didn't feel like taking the time to dig the girls out of it.  When I'm feeling ambitious I might make it in a different color.

You use Windows? What are you, some kind of communist?

[Hyperguy]

This is my desktop:



Those icons on the left are shortcuts for Schoolmate, Artificial Girl 3, and a few other things.  There's also my Projects folder there, which is where I put all of the projects I'm working on like the website and such.

Oh Bill,  you're so silly. If people post the clean versions of their wallpapers right away, it saves me the trouble of having to type stuff like:

Hyperguy, clean version of the Windows 2K-tan wallpaper please.

Besides, who cares about icons on the desktop? I don't give a shit what shortcuts you people use daily. To me, it's a sin to put icons on a desktop. You put the wallpaper on it so you'll have something awesome to look at; why spoil it with icons that just get in the way?

[Hyperguy]

Because binding everything to a shortcut is just not an option.

I mean, when I wanna open up CDisplay I'll be all like CTRL + ALT + D because I've got it setup to do that in it's properties tab, but for something like a 'flavor of the month' program it's much easier to just put it on the desktop.

And icons really are the meat of desktop thread discussions aside from the wallpapers themselves.  It's the same concept as looking into someone's room; icons reveal people's interests as much as a shelf full of action figures do.

Here's the WP from my desktoop:

I'm gonna go with HG here- this is a Desktop thread not a wallpaper thread, and thus the point is to post your desktop - with taskbar, icons, systray, and wallpaper intact.  It's fun to see how different people work.  Do you keep a desktop with 2 icons and most of the systray hidden, or do you let every program pour icons onto the desktop and never clean them off?  What music player do you use?  What OS?

What can I say, I'm easily amused.  Jingle car keys in front of me and I start jumping up and down.  It's a fact!

Tis because you are married. Something has to fill the void! =D

[ROMate]

My desktop is identical to my wallpaper. The taskbar stays hidden until I want it, the icons stay hidden forever. I already explained my point of view on this; I didn't get the image because I wanted to see how it'd look with lots of tiny icons stacked on top of it.

HAH!  You haven't seen my desktop yet.

I go through phases.  I let it pile up to fill 2/3 of the screen, and then I clean up 99% of them.  Usually by dragging them into a folder marked something like "Desktop 2" "Desktop 007" or "Desktop <n>" etc.

sometimes I mark the folder names angrily "PLEASE CLEAN UP THIS FOLDER DAMNIT" I have like three of those in My Documents somewhere....



Anyways, am I the only one on this forum that has a real life chick on his desktop? @.@  I feel so... estranged... so... so lonely @.@



And ROMmate, you got a desktop image because you wanted a picture to ornament and decorate your functional tool, the desktop.  The desktop is a computer utility, it serves a purpose beyond decoration.  The fact that it can also be decorated is a secondary feature, not its purpose.  Just because you use it for something other than what it's made for, does not mean the rest of the world follows suit.

also I have lots of porn files littered across my desktop.  I should probably hide those in case somebody walks by and sees the folder "INVASION OF THE BOOBY SNATCHERS" et. al.

Elisha Cuthbert was on my desktop for 3 months, and the SCIENCE! image was too funny to ignore.

And the rest of the world SHOULD follow my lead, seeing as I'm simply too awesome to ignore.
