@That Dude Guy: Use this one (which is within the image size requirements and isn't a bmp) and bugger off to a different thread and bug someone else(and please download it to your own server first):

Ooh here's mine. I like icons. Every few months I have to dump all my icons in a folder and move all the files downloaded to desktop to a folder on my E drive. I've gone through seven so far..........

WHAT!!!
No one has posted a picture of the top of their desk yet. Every time a post about posting a picture of your desktop is created some moron who thinks they are smart has to take it as the top of their desk even though everyone understands that it is a picture of the desktop on your computer.

I guess I get to be that person since someone has to do it.

Since I dont actually have a desk I will just post a picture of a desk that looks neat.

Attachment? Hmmm. Since my website is having issues then I'll use this instead...

Mine's a bit boring BTW, but there isn't many desktop images this exact size, and I don't like stretched piccies.

Remember, it's the download button on right.

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

Here's mine:



And no, I don't care if my machine is running the shareware version of WindowBlinds. I also don't have any fancy icons or any other fancy crap like that because:

1. I tried IconPackager once, and I had way too many problems with it not using the right icons.

2. The trial version of ObjectDesktop is way too limiting, and I'm not willing to buy it just yet.

3. I frankly do not care!

And BTW, that cone is my cursor. :3

O_x, that is a cool looking desktop. (that alienware thing)

These are some UGLY desktops, covered in waaaaay too many icons. Get organized ppl. I'd show mine, but all you'd see is My Computer icon on a black background.

oh yeah, i'm a rebel.



how about that: an OSX skin with the default OS9 BG

i'm with evil monkey here; i don't feel like buying the full version of windowblinds cause it's quite useful as it is! do i care about skinning every program possible? it'd be nice, but i don't really want to pay $10 to do so

I redid mine today, because I am bored. So know it has 17 icons (including quick launch), 4 of which are files for keeping items which are catalogged with a text file also on the desktop I can't show a screeny dump due to privacy reasons...

The Windows skin is Whistler 2450, the original XP Professional skin, to replace the Classic one. Somehow it was sidetracked as the one used. Shame as it is a nice skin.

If you are really that desperate to know then pay for a Microsoft Beta account to gain access to it.
Problem is there are two Beta version;

Longhorn (NT 5.2) you can pretty much get anywhere; the Current build 4580 is up on KaZaA / eMule / Bit Torrents. Usually I'd be against people obtaining software in this fashion, but the Longhorn Beta is sort of like Windows ME. So the way I see it really isn't much problem with it; it would be like installing the extra libraries to XP.

I would comment on the other Beta, but can't. Downloaded the lastest build two days ago and I'm impressed. Just wish it was Win32 Compatible, right now it only runs Win32+.
