Show off your Vista or XP Desktop - Second Edition!

Ok guys, the old thread is really old so we decided to move on and create a new one. As we're getting many complains about huge images I would like to establish some ground rules for this thread:

Rules​

• Do not post huge images. Make them a thumbnail image, or post a link to a larger image. If you don't know how to make the image thumbnailed I've created a simple guide using http://imageshack.us. If you prefer photobucket check the photobucket.com guide(Thanks to Manic Penguins). Another option is NBR build-in image attachments - you need to switch from "Quick Replay" to "Advanced". To do that simply click on "Go Advanced" button, right under the "Quick Reply" box.
• Do not quote images, just cut it out of the post.
• If someone post a huge image anyway please report using the "Report Post" function of the forum. It will be really appreciated if you do the thumbnailing and send the "thumbnail code" within the report.

imageshack.us guide
​

Note: This guide is just an example, you can use whatever image hosting service you want. Obviously, I can't cover all of them and I use imageshack.us because..well, no reason, it's just a choice I made.

View attachment 31162	Step 1: Open http://imageshack.us . When the page is loaded, click on the browse button and select an image file from your computer.
View attachment 31163	Step 2: Once you have a file selected, check/uncheck the "Remove size/resolution bar from the thumbnail"(Optional) and click on the "host it!" button. The uploading will take some time.
View attachment 31164	3. Click on the code from "Thumbnail for forum(1)" box, this way you're selecting it. Then copy and paste the code directly into the forum post/message box. When you submit your post the thumbnail should be displayed.

When you post a thumbnailed image the result should look like this:

Very nice! This will be great a fresh *start*

Photobucket also *thumbnails*, I bounce between Imageshack and Photobucket. But I mostly use PB!

So, I went back to this one...as I'm hungry for strawberries

Cin

 

old! but still I like it

 

Yeah, I wanted to make guides for both imageshack and photobucket but then I realized you need to have a registered account with photobucket and imageshack you don't need one so it's easier to use. Though..I may add a photobucket guide later..

 

Here's mine. Simple, clean, and elegant.

 

Dang. 765 pages in 2 years. No wonder it looked old. Posting mine soon

 

They are both great! I also like PB, because you can *edit* your photo's quite easily (and it's fun), with all the Edit options!

A PB guide would be great!

The desktop of my Aspire One...it's an x-ray of an aspire one...

 

LoL! That's pretty cool! I wonder if I can get something like that for my 1530 or Mini 9!~


Cin

 

send yours for x-ray! and share it here

 

You know, I'm sure it could be done...but possibly costly! $$$$

But, I have a friend who's an E-Ray Technician..I wonder if he could do this? hmmmm.

It would make a really cool BG!~


Cin

 

persistence will pay off

 

Trying to increase Vocaloid skins

 

Here's my latest:

 

i like the new avatar, cin!


ev

 

Yes, it usually does! If you see a BG by me of an X-Ray...you will know how!

Very nice!

Not bad!

That's a nice view!

Why, thank you!


Cin

 

Can you tell me how do you get the stacked icons on objectdock??

I have objectdock plus but I have no idea how to get the stacked icons on the dock


Anyways... here's my desktop at the moment

 

Here you go: http://www.aqua-soft.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=46859

 

Here is mine again. Same as last post, figure I would put it on the new thread.


And to the Rules for this thread, I would like to add something.

You can use PrtSc, then paste it into Paint, edit it as you wish, then save it.

Then Reply to this thread, and at the bottom, under "Manage Attachments", select it, then choose "Choose File".

Once you locate you're saved screenshot, select it, then hit the "Upload" button.

It should now be attached in a Thumbnail, and when clicked on, should open up in a new window.

Hope this helped anyway. I find it a MUCH easier way rather then posting on Image Shack or Photo Bucket.

 

This is mine....Really 2 words for it:

Majestic and Breathtaking.... :yes:
This may be my own personal fav', out of all the ones I've posted.

(Hawaii Surf)

That's a cool pic, Cin~! I like it and it reminds me of a very dreamy place

 

I had been looking for a grass or wheatfield desktop ever since i got my new computer, and i lost my old one when the HP $#it itself and died, and took all my stuff with it.

That said, carrot muncher posted his and was kind enough to post the wallpaper too, so now i have something very similar for my main desktop on my cube. so far, i am feeling right at home again, with my familiar looking old desktop or one thats very similar. its very minimalistic, just the way i like it. here's what i have at the moment:

 

My newer desktop





wallpaper is a picture of the chongyang bridge (i think its in Taipei city)
windows theme is Sonetto (inverted start menu)
Dock is object dock plus
the clock is Rainmeter + 10 foot HUD


and yes i am up rather late

 

new wallpaper again.

 

Wow! ive been looking for a dark wallpaper and that is AWESOME! can you post it? i like the theme too. it all comes together really well. looks great!

 

Thanks, the Photographer is Clark Little, and he is an awesome, daredevil surf photographer...You should check his photos sometime...amazing!


Cin

 

of course i found it on interfacelift

voila

 

hey Tony your a hoe im using same background .. lol

 

Thank you sir! very much obliged!


ev

 

Wow.. you called him a gardening tool. You must be pretty mad.

 

Very pretty , Cin. :yes:

 

Thanks, Pixel...I changed it up a bit.and found this one (posted a bit above)..but for you..here...

Check it you will understand why I say *majestic, and breathtaking*
OhMy....yeah.

Here:




Hope you likey!


Cin

 

Heres mine!
Vista Ultimate

 

Wow! you're really utilizing that dock, i could never do that, to me it is just as bad and having too many icons on the desktop. I like to keep it kind of balanced between the desktop, quick launch, and objectdock.

 

Love the desktop Cin' And T-1000000 sweet wallpaper.

 

Nice wallpaper.

Can you post the link where you got it from, if you don't mind?

 

Thank's The Photographer also has a really cool one, inside the *surf* and the waves from w/in makes it look like shiny pieces of glass. It's sweet!


Cin

 

here. I've also found the same one with a blue tint to it, but not sure where, i have it on my comp tho.

 

Thank you.

 

Here's my current one. Totally loving SF4 so far

 

That is a nice pic Cin.

(I still have my old one...)

 

slayerfaith1982 - please thumbnail your picture!!!

 

This is my ultra NAVAL SHIP

 

Here is today's desktop...feeling in the gaming mood!!!

 

Can you post a link for the Street Fighter 4 wallpaper. It looks sooo kewl.
(Is there on in 1280x800 res?)

 

Thanks, Detlev! I remember the one you are currently still using!


Cin

 

LOL
I guess we both have good taste

 

Found it on deviantart.com. Just search "street fighter 4" and you'll come across it. I don't have the exact link right this minute, cuz i saved the image 2 my computer, but yea, you can find it there.

Sorry btw for not thumb-nailing it, i dunno how! how do you? lol
