Well, with September and fall being (somewhat) close by, I hereby dub thee "Desktop Thread".

I would much prefer posting a .PNG, but for some reason the colors fuck up. Maybe someone has experienced the same thing? For me, it always tints this kinda yellow-ish color, but slightly.

I'll post the .PNG too, and since I haven't tested it on any other machines, could you tell if the colors are different for you also or is it just a PC fuckup.

I don't know what's up with it.

    Your RocketDock needs some custom icons. Blessed be DeviantArt. Also, why do you need desktop icons if the duplicates are on the dock?

    It's been a week since I even looked at my desktop. I only have access to my school given tablet, so no large images for you guys:

    Meh, you've had better, Joe. "DICKS" is unoriginal, though I do like "Hairy va..."

    Must have been a practical joke by a friend, although I guess it doesn't quite with a desktop like mine. Fail.

    I love how you can tell from screenshots who know show to use a computer, and who doesn't.

    Hint: If you have excessive and/or useless icons all over your desktop, you're doing it wrong. You might say it's a lot of work to clean them up, and you would be correct. However, if you were doing it right, icons would never get on the desktop to be cleaned up. You have a My Documents folder and a Downloads Folder. Use them. Also, use something like launchy to start programs.

    This has looked like this for some time now. I should change wallpaper someday.

    They look exactly the same on my non-PC screen. Can I ask why you use a depiction of a naked 12 year old girl as your desktop image? Isn't that a bit weird? Or are you 13 yourself?

    Me or LTTP? I found the deviantart of the artist who made this in the corner.
    Edit: Can't find the resolution I'm using though. Will email to anyone who wants it.

    Actually that's a few hundred or thousand year old harvest god. Horo from Spice and Wolf.

    Isn't she supposed to look 15 or 16, though? Meh, doesn't really matter, It's not like I have some Kodomo no Jikan hentai as my desktop. I don't see any problem with it, I'm 15.

    Wait, I thought Horo was supposed to be an adult.

    With a new OS install comes a new desktop. Here's what I decided on:

    What is the Pikachu program on your dock?
  • ErynEryn
    It's just a custom dock icon for Adium. I was getting tired of the duck.

    Awesome, Jason - could I have a link to that desktop?

    @joe boomer and Lognator456 what's with the random icons everywhere?

    Since 4scrape died what has everybody been using for good high resolution desktop searches?
    I've been trying to find some high action Nissan GTR shots even though it's not a pretty car.

    However the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is a very pretty car -

    On my monitor the jpeg shows a "colder" image and the png shows a "warmer" image, possibly the yellowish tint your speaking of. Did you save the snapshots in different programs, I know that when I view different projects in Photoshop, I get the option to view RGB in Windows, Mac or Monitor. Both the Windows and Mac RGB seem to have a yellowish tint with an increased gamma with the Mac however the monitor RGB option shows the image exactly as I see it (which is pretty obvious).

    Ah crap, you've discovered the one weakness in my Stylish no-forum-wrapping stylesheet. Aspect ratio woes when someone defines a height for the image.

    Temporary 4scrapes. But those have gone by now too. You know, you could always go to the source.

    I do but it takes so much longer to wade through pages where as 4scrape had a quick search engine which gave me whatever I wanted very quickly.
