    A new desktop thread

    So I did a search and its been a year or so since there was a thread like this... so I decided to make a "show off your desktop" thread.

    Here's mine - click on it for a full-screen image (about 160k or so)



    Random points of interest:

    - The bar on the left side is Desktop Sidebar
    - The desktop icons are small with a program called Autosmall .
    - The desktop wallpaper is one I made. I liked the picture of her, and it was easy to isolate (and then recolor) the entire artwork and it still wound up looking realistic. So when I got done doing sold-color recolors, I did a few more odd ones. This was one result.
    - Yeah, I fill my taskbar. Yes, I use tabs but I also new Open In New Window a lot.
    - Yahoo Widgets in the bottom right corner
    - Wallpaper-In-Wallpaper feature brought to you by a great program called Wallpaper Cycler I use it because I don't like picking wallpapers. WPC currently switches my wallpaper every hour, and I have 3,730 wallpapers that it does so from.
    - System Tray, from Left to right - Memturbo , Shareaza, Steam, Updates, AIM, CA Security Center.
    - My CPU and Memory were so high because of the video thread here on apolyton. With that page closed, 2% CPU and 10% memory usage.

    So that's mine.
    It's a CB.

        Secrets blotted out!!!

        Until quite recently I did actually had a picture of a pretty girl as my desktop background - but she was thoroughly clothed (think dressed for a blustery winter day).

        But since I reinstalled windows a couple of weeks ago (also explaining much of the emptiness), I've just gone with the simplicity of a warm flat color (and don't really plan to change it).

              My work laptop. The destkop is 3 widescreen monitors in portrait mode so it's a bit too large for this thread, plus it's got trading systems open and I think that'd be an NDA violation...

                Posted this some time ago I think. Pic of a market in Hanoi (or was it Vientiane) my colleague took while on vacation.

                  I believe that's indeed Hanoi.

                    Looks vientianish though, you have to admit.

                        I like Colon's desktop. Asher's is pretty nifty too.

                        Mine looks like Blake's.

                        My work machine has a big ugly dog picture.

                            Asher's desktop scares me. That happy emoticon seems way too happy about how the unhappy emoticons are crowding around it... rather psychotic.
