[Shiki]

LOL well I just got a new program to organize my desktop view from my dear friend >< so I wanted to show to you guys how my desktop looks like! That program is awesome! If you want to know what it is just ask me LOL

Here is how it looks like normally:

Click!

And when you double click on a blank space on your desktop it becomes like this:

Click!

[Zain]

Wow, that looks amazing! *_*
I have Vista, too but my desktop is as default as it can get >.>
I would love to know the program, and then maybe I'll show my desktop LOL

[Shiki]

Here's the program official site and you can download it from there:

http://www.stardock.com/products/fences/index.asp

And it's 100% free! xD I think it's a good way to organize your desktop with! And it looks cool too LOL

[Zain]

Haha, cool!
Thanks for the link :)
It definitely looks cool, lol.

[Nozomi]

oh, wow
that's such a great program *runs to download* >w>
so useful, mine is messy u_u;;
see

[Shiki]

Yup! And you can also change the color and opacity of the fence >< When my friend showed me his desktop I was like "OMG HOW DID YOU DO THAT THINGY?!" I haunted him down just to get it xD

[Xye]

WOAH O_O Pretty!!! My desktop is super....clogged =.=;;; And I have XP (cuz Vista hates my games =.=) 

[drexizle]

xD Yotsuba looks like an ant compared to the background. :P

I have XP too! But I share it with my mooooommmy :3

[Xye]

That's how  mine looks like:

Awesomely...cluttered XD

[Shiki]

lol woah  the Gackt background didn't surprise me much!~

[Evory]

*has no icons at all on her desktop at all and uses Linux Ubuntu* I feel out of place... 

I do have a cool feature though: double screen (and double background). I have an extra monitor attached to my laptop, creating a HUGE desktop. This is the only double background I have at the moment though, I'm picture-poor <-- has no avatar because of that. (If anyone knows a site with good (manga) pictures(/wallpapers)/wishes to donate me pictures(/wallpapers) (preferably with a 1440 x 900 resolution ) please let me know  )

[Shiki]

Oh thats so cool! 

I also have a 1440 x 900 resolution right now and I use this site to get my wallpapers: Click!

They have a lot and all of them are made by fans I think. xD

[Evory]

Thank you thank you thank you! *immediately made 4 new ones*

Vampire Knight

DNAngel
Dark + Dark Angel

Zomg that's huge~ Kinda inconvenient to find wallpapers but you have no icons to block 'em!
I like your new VK set~

Mine a widescreen Vista laptop (not that I had much of a choice when buying laptops XD).

[Kiriane]

The wallpapers are really cool~~

I remember when I used to use windows. I plastered my name all over my wallpaper  <--- is an egoist

But now I use a Mac so I hardly ever see my wallpaper anymore. 

[Nicole]

Haha!  I try to reduce clutter by throwing everything into "untitled folders"...unfortunately, that just leaves me with disastrous folders!

[Mithril]

I used to have a vista but my brother changed it to XP he said that xp is better for gaming and my wallpaper... she's a character from Cabal and I don't know who she is o__O

[Yume]

...... o_____O""

I used to have a vista but my brother changed it to XP he said that xp is better for gaming and my wallpaper... she's a character from Cabal and I don't know who she is o__O

That's true...but I still force my way through gaming with Vista. 

[stray]

well I'm here so i might as well jump in, i recently downloaded window 7 for my pc and yes it is way better then vista and every aspect. it's what we came to know and love from xp but update with vista appearance it's a magnificent Os and i recommend it to anyone who is tired of vista. ok back on topic lol i have not had much time of customizing this version of my pc so its pretty normal right now don't get me wrong it's still wonderful but it doesn't have my personal touch so i can't show you right now. what i can do is show you some of my old desktop customization

also to see the image bigger right click and select view image but I'm assuming everybody knows this.







these are some old customs i'm working on a new one for my win7 when it's done i'll show ya :)

hope you like it

this thread should totally be pinned it has to life a long life lol just a thought.

[Shiki]

Woah! That's so cool! O.O Can't wait to see your next one! ^^

May I ask how did you do the clock and the other goodies? =O

[stray]

glad you like it, there's quite a few apps that goes into the customization but for the clock and other doodads i believe i used rainmeter http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/58074, it's a really nifty app once you get used to it. the docks is either rocketdock or startdock not completely sure sorry my memory fails me alot.

Organisation and I... we have a strained relationship.

Made the background when I was high over new brushes. xD

[Shiki]

lol nice xD I should do that too when I get new brushes! ;D

[Kai]

Thanks! ^^ Getting new brushes is always fun. ;D

I got the fences!  But I pretty much dumped all of it into 'useful' and 'useless'. Mhmm. I feel achieved.

And yours is coooool Stray.

[Evory]

I made another double background:

La Corda D'Oro

[Lena G]

At the moment I'm kinda addicted to Jensen Ackles, so my desktop looks like this:
Not very matching, hehe 

[Diaya]

hey how did you guy show your desktop

[Lena G]

hey how did you guy show your desktop

Take a screenshot of your desktop, there's one special button on your keyboard that makes screenshots ;) On mine there's written "PrtSc" <.< Paste it in Paint or whatever art program you have... save it... then upload on the net (photobucket, imageshack) and then post it here...
I'm not very good at explaining... Google usually spits out more compatible guides on how to make things ;D

[Diaya]

is it how they did??

[Shiki]

Yup! Press Print Screen it should be at the top of your keybord if you are using a desktop.

Then open paint or photoshop and simply past it on a new image. Save it as png/jpeg and upload it on a image uploader website then give you the link or somthing :D

[Sharwin]

I was about to create one of these topics and then I found it xD. Anyways here is my desktop, all nice and clean! xD...

At the moment I have a wallpaper of Rukia. However, I have an application that randomly swaps my background every hour or so from a set of wallpapers I downloaded to keep my desktop ever so fresh! The sleeping Panda is an application called Launchy that helps me launch my applications. You can think of it kind of like the Start Menu Vista search, but I think it's quicker and you can constrain your search to be only certain folders (like applications or other files).

If everyone anyone has used a mac, then they would know about the dock like thing. That is called RocketDock, as someone mentioned earliar. I put some common applications and folders here! Lastly if you look to the right you'll see some very low opacity gadgets. Those are for weather and calender which darken when you highlight!

That's about it!

[Shiki]

*Is supposed to study for his science exam but... procrastinating FTW!*

I didn't post one for a looooooooong time so here is the one that I have right now~ ^^

Wallpaper: Kagamine Rin/Len
Song: Jiyuu Kimama no B-kyuu Jinsei
PV Artist: Glider (He has an awesome style don't you think so?)

[Xye]

wow..that is so cute XDD your desktop is so...clean XD

[werr]

wow..that is so cute XDD your desktop is so...clean XD

I think he simply hid the desktop icons.

That's what I do. I never use the desktop, because usually I have so many windows open it is a pain to even use the "show desktop" function, for later, I would have to maximize them again.

Yeah, I get a lot of my wallpapers from animepaper too xD... Probably one of my more favourite anime wallpaper sites ^^;

[Shiki]

I used to... before I ran out of paper >.>" do we have to donate for more?

[BleachFreak]

For the time being, my desktop, although I might change my background from a pic from the D. GrayMan group I met to something else:

[Dia]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it looks gorgeousss!!! I want a desktop like that!!! Everything is its place... not like my desktop...  which everything is a messs

[Hoang]

one of my old ones that i kept...idk why but i have the "Windows Verification" tag thing and it makes my desktop black...so...no more wall papers for me =]

[werr]

@ButtCheeks, if you mean the Windows Genuine Advantage, you can turn it off. The reminders at least.

[Sharwin]

I used to... before I ran out of paper >.>" do we have to donate for more?

I thought they took away the paper requirement for getting wallpapers. I've had 0 paper forever and I can still download wallpapers o.O?

[Hoang]

Yeah your right! I just found out that by commenting on the wallpapers of other people also give us papers. LOL

[Furgeson]

Before my wonderful mac departed this world, and before I started breaking computers
I used a boring wallpaper.
Now, I use everything as default. Hmmm, does this say anything about my character? 

[Shiki]

No one is posting here anymore! D; so therefore FREE BUMP~

I changed to a new theme that is simple and clean! ^^ Also my wallpaper is from an upcoming game called Vindictus!

WHOA your's can organize your programs for ya?  WHOA I WANT THAT:D

Fence helps organize stuff on your desktop: Download Here!

You can customize the name, color, transparency, size and placement of each "fence". I personally find it really neat! And when you double click anywhere on your desktop the fences will "hide" themselves vise/versa. XD

[Furgeson]

Shiki's just cool in general.
~_~ We know we want to be like that.
With fences, and awesome digital art, and compies, and shiny pearl eggs. XD
Now for Zephi's dragon... >__> Shiki is to blame! 

[icewing]

?  you mean the green little dragon thingy?

[Shiki]

Yeah, since I used to have dragon eggs before.

[icewing]

....................?  dragon eggs? does that have to do anything with the little eggy thingys from your sig?

[Furgeson]

But you know... Zephi's dragon is the demented one with hearts. XDDD
*gives Zephi a mean sideways glare

[icewing]

hm..Zeph is rarely on these days.....O_O

[Furgeson]

Yeah, I miss her.
Wait until I go home and find that my geranium's dead.
Then I'm going to stalk her to the ends of this earth. 

[icewing]

xD just wait for your turn to be stalked.........
