Post your desktop!

Yeah, these threads are on like every computer related forum but it's always interesting to see how people have their Macs setup. Although you can't customize OS X a whole lot (without third party software), I always find one or two things (menu bar items, etc.) that I incorporate into my own. Anyways, I'll start it off. Try to keep the width under 1024px if you can. Thanks!

 

Don't call me a communist... I just was born there and it just looks good on my desktop

Lol I just posted a vista screenshot on a forum for macs... oops

 

Uh, Davron, this is the Apple forum; it's not really for Vista desktops.

 

Eluzion, maybe you should've put Post Your Desktop! (Mac Desktops only!) .

 

p.s.- buddy i love yours do you have an R1?

 

Wow, not many nature background lovers here eh?

 

Why such small icons, taelrak?

 

Well, they expand when I mouse over them, and otherwise I don't like them taking up too much room. Plus I just recently cleaned it up a bit - at one point there were a lot more down there and it was getting kind of bloated.

 

I wish. I am using cleardock on my MPB 2.4 Ghz by the way

 

Here's that R1 again with Cleardock

My coworker had an R1 and it got stolen at the jobsite. The insurance paid for it so he bought another. Next thing I know he's got an anxious look on his face running down the halls; it was stolen again. I've got nowhere to keep one anyway without it getting banged up.

 

Nothing special going on here. I just can't remember if my desktop is from OSX or if I borrowed it from Vista . My favorite desktop site is InterfaceLIFT, peace.

 

I kinda like this one for now.

 

Lol, I was hoping it would be obvious since it's in the Apple/OS X forum. I can't seem to change the title now though. Ah well. ;P

 

The new Leopard desktop paper I see, duffyanneal .

 

love yours where do I get one?

 

haha i found it on a google search. cant seem to find it again tho. o well, i guess this is when photobucket will come in handy.

hey guys, how do i post a picture in these forums?
sorry for the dumb question

 

The easiest way is the upload the picture via an image hosting site, such as www.imageshack.us, and then copying the Direct Link to it and in your post, type this:



Its not a dumb question, and its important you ask, so now you know . If you didn't know and don't ask, then you're dumb .

 

Those of you looking for wallpapers, I'd highly recommend this site:

http://interfacelift.com

 

I'll make a suggestion as well:

www.MacDesktops.com

It has some really nice desktop pictures also.

 

anyone go to interfacelift best wallpaper on the net

 

I'm looking through Interfacelift right now and these wallpapers are amazing, especially all the nature ones.

 

Yeah that place is amazing. I got about 15 new wallpapers from there. ;P

My two favorite:

Nice wallpaper! Care to share?

 

yea, definitely. you're an elliott smith fan too?

what's your email, i can send the picture to you, seeing as i can't find the website i got it from

 

on my other mac (macbook CD 1.83 ghz)

 

Hey.. That thing in the top of your screen (forgot what it's called??), that shows Temp and RPM.. What is it, and how do i get it??

And what is "Clear Dock"??

And Danubio, how do you get your upper bar to be "see through"?? And the Dock?? Is it Leopard, or a custom downloadable one??

Sorry for all the questions..

 

smcFanControl

 

i use istat for that.

cleardock just makes the dock invisible.

 

yes i use leopard (beta =P)

 

We need longer menu bars for all the stuff that goes up there

 

I agree . My Menu Bar is half-full. Or actually, 70% full. And I just have SMCFanControl and QuickSilver's icons up there, on top of the default OS X ones.

 

i concur. there is NO space on mine that isnt taken up. sometimes my little icon for adium just disappears.

 

I downloaded those 2 also!

 

Here's mine

 

Thats a very cool one

 

I won't post the actual desktop pic because I'm on a PC, but the wallpaper is this.

I usually use something from InterfaceLIFT though. They have some great stuff.

 

Can you post a shot with the dock in one of the sides? Also (sorry for the hijacking) how well does you macbook runs it compared to Tiger?

 

Here is mine.

I use desktop sweeper to hide all the mess of icons I have, and usually hide the dock, cause i cant sleep at night if i block even one pixel of this wallpaper

Edit:
Looks like it was a little too much flesh...lol. down taketh.

 

Whats the name of the program that checks your gmail in the menu bar?

Thanks

 

It is Gmail Notifier. (for mac)

http://toolbar.google.com/gmail-helper/notifier_mac.html

 

Here's another Apple-themed desktop. Very minimalist.

 

Uhh...this site is PG, eternal . Or in other words, 100% family friendly. I'm pretty sure some will find your desktop picture offensive, could you please take it down, 00fez? Thank you .

 

hahah sorry guys! To me it looks ok though If anyone wants the picture (in full 1080p glory) pm me

 

Now that Leopard is out, let's see everyone's desktop.

 

Nice wallpaper Eluzion, what is the program that you have on your menu bar for controlling itunes? It looks nice and unobstrusive...

 

Nothing special here, just the default Aurora background, but Blue.
