New year, new wallpaper...or something like that. Supposedly you can tell a lot about a person by looking at his/her desktop.

My current one is a Magna Carta (http://www.animejello.f2s.com/walls.php?series=magna&page=1) theme, a Korean game by the people who made War of Genesis III (http://www.genesis3.co.kr/). But I don't play games, I just love their character designs.

I'm pretty sure that's a guy. :emlaugh:

**** look at that taskbar.

Press Window's Key + Pause

I forgot how you do it on Windows below XP. Tell me how much system resources you have left?!

I think you might need to "msconfig" and take some off, heh.

I like my task bar, except for my Network cable is unplugged.

i have this system of removing crap that appears on my desktop
i wait till it fills up with junk

Mine hasn't changed much since last time I tinkered with it, http://priyadi.net/sshot.jpg.

Anyone knows where can I find a nice dark background? I love those transparent terminals, however they are ugly when used with a light or contrasting background.

Hmm, I've got a wallpaper of Inu Yasha, one of the hottest anime in Japan right now, and probably in the States as well.

For those who don't know, he's a dog-demon, and half dog half human with a demon heritage.

Gee - I wonder what that says about me... :stickout

Watched some of that, and it was fun at first, but then the story kept on going and o_O If it's anything like Takahashi's other series Ranma 1/2, it's going to get old after thirty episodes or so, and I'm not made of money :)

Alright, I admit to having a lot of icons on my desktop. It makes up for my lack of memory. All pending items must be on my desktop, or they will never be completed, because I will forget about them. I tried using a todo list on my organizer, but I would often forget to check my todo list and update it. Pretty soon, it was useless.

Obviously I have a lot of pending items. But I actually deleted an icon today, and only added two more. :)

Most of my icons are programs that I was going to look at, or notes to myself, and then there's the ever important pdfs that I'm supposed to fill out, sign, and send to someone. Aargh. I just need a personal assistant, or a bigger desktop.

Amar's dalmation was cute :)

Lain, with regards to Inu Yasha, it's much better than Ranma 1/2. Believe me, I've completed my manga collection for Ranma 1/2, and so far, Inu Yasha still comes out top. I think his brother is just soooooo good-looking ^_^

A cutie, cutie dog-demon EEEEEHHHHHH :blush:

Okay, this flip-over-cute-stuff teenage girl has officially lost her mind...

Hmmm, would think there's more XP users, but this is a very Linux friendly host forum. ;)

Here's my plain Jane XP desktop (reduced from 1280x1024 -- too big to attach otherwise). Rarely even see the desktop with XP so wallpaper isn't essential, nor the icons.

Love the Winamp skin (Pixelman rulez). Very detailed!

Truth of the matter is, according to the person that made the theme (of which I only use the wallpaper from :rolleyes: ) her name is Anna.
He didn't include the last name. And I don't even remember where I got it from. :bawling: Originally posted by TradeViceroy

And then some people started talking about others that featured artistic wallpaper, so I thought I'd share. :blush:

Just save it as a JPG (maybe 30% compression). It's a GIF and that's one reason the pic is so large.
