After several months of cars I decided to rock some Kate Beckinsale :cool:

Oh Scarlett... :love

I approve of this desktop. Can you link to the original one, so I can change mine when I get my computer back? ^_^;

[Liam Jinn]

I need some sort of links to the ladies desktops :)

How do you do this nifty trick?

[Karl Valten]

heheh, nice 40k wallpaper Mr. Prent. I'll put mine up later tommorrow.....er today.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Wyl - press "PrtScrn" otherwise known as Print Screen, which will take a picture of whatever is on your screen. Then open paint or photoshop if you have it, open a blank document and Paste. :)

I think I got mine from http://www.sexydesktop.co.uk/scarlett.htm since I just Google'd "Scarlett Johansson wallpaper" and picked the first link there was.

[Droo]

I'm sure this will be a suprise.

I can't believe you Brits use the hideous default XP blue scheme.

[Droo]

Well, I don't like it. It's just there. Yours is quite sexy - what do you use?

[Dasquian Belargic]

Yeah, I'm with Droo. I don't really know how to change it. :huh

[Morgan Evanar]

I'm running Windows Vista. I don't really recommend it yet.

However, you can change your scheme easily.

Go to the display properties, appearance tab, color scheme. Select Silver. You can also add an unsigned UXtheme.dll to get a wide variety of XP skins.

My desktop is probably exactly the same as the last time we had one of these. I can't stand any other wallpaper, or any other Windows theme.

I'd be using Vista, but I can't get my SoftAP to work right under it, so I'm sticking with XP until I get around to buying an actual wireless router (probably never).

Thank you. It's like magic. :D

Are there any decent websites for help on customization?

Themexp has crapware in every file, I think, so you need to manually extract everything from the .exes

The regular XP setup looks nice with my background. I think.

This is just my laptop. I cut out the left half, it's just a redundancy of the same background. I have a second monitor hooked up to my laptop. I can't manage to use just one anymore, too much junk.

I'll post one of my PC when I'm back at my apartment sometime during the week. Dual widescreen monitors with different wallpapers, much better than my bleh laptop.

Yes'm, that word document is the novel I'm currently working on. All 35 pages of the "kinda'" "second draft".

Azureus is out, uTorrent is the new hotness. Observe ultra-low resource usage and clean design! Hark back to the days when real programmers were real programmers and knew when to use a little ASM.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

My print screen doesn't work :(

[Morgan Evanar]

Does your keyboard have an f-lock? If so, turn it off. Otherwise try http://www.gadwin.com/printscreen/

The last time I tried it out, I wanted to jump through the Internet and beat the living crap out of the programmers for the amazing stupid all in one package. Once bitten, twice shy :)

Not that Azuerus is actually that much better, anyone programming an app in Java needs a swift kick in the balls and then kicked again in the head to make sure ANYTHING but Java.

In a million years I don't think I could have imagined that on Pode's desktop. If the Ravens saw that they'd never let you into their training camp. ;)

I loves my OT themed desktop.
