This is my latest desktop wallpaper - for the last few days while I am gathering up files to save before my upcoming reformat. I am reformatting in order to reuse my trial .dds converter programs for modding for Oblivion.

I combined a pic of my previous wallpaper, a screenshot from the 'this fall release' soon to be game, The Guild 2; and the very beginning screens of my screensaver starting over it transparently. The screensaver is called 1MoonAbove.

I like this image and will install it for later as wallpaper ... but my real plans for my permanent new wallpaper after the reformat will be Milanius's Avenger Axe screenshot.

It will probably have different desktop icons since I am experimenting with different .dds programs for Oblivion modding. I will probably enlarge the Avenger screenshot to fill the whole screen. Here is the wallpaper I am using right now that is from a Morrowind mod that I am making for Black Hand:

PS - Cain bought 'The Guild', the prequel to 'The Guild 2' yesterday and it's pretty hot. He stayed up all night until 6am anyways playing it. It is realistic medieval society in which you build a strong family dynasty over several 100 years. Very cool!

Ahhh wonderful desktops.....I must admit I haven´t decided yet what I´ll have on this new comp...but when I do I´ll show you!

I almost forgot this one, it is my comp tech wall. Scott Ramsoomair from VGcats.com did it and I added my own touch to it via invertion of the colors.

Gaara

and here is the Normal one

I think the Inverted one is cooler, almost evil. Expecially the eyes

Yes, it came out marvellously malevolent looking ... I love pics that look good either way. In their normal and negative states. There should be a word for that. I bet there is in Eskimo.

Heck ya! VGcats rock! I used to have Pantsman as my avatar

Your rendition of that background is really nice looking, blue and blacks go nicely together.

Well, since this thread is open and I will be changing my computer array completely soon, I am experimenting with different wallpapers. I usually keep one for a long time ... but here is a new favorite...

Seems like a good place on Mr. Mojo-rising's post to put this educational psychological illustration = the world looks kinda like this when you're MANIC:

Aaaayyyyyy....the doors! yay Ibis....you´re a child of my time! great desktops. Nope I´ve still not decided what to use...it´s hard....

I can't show you my desktop because i don't know how to make a link with a pic of it, but anyways mine is the best out of all of yours (no offense). I am currently using the Foo Fighters album In Your Honor as my desktop.




FOO FIGHTERS KICK boat

king, to make a picture link ... take a screenshot, edit it in Paint program to look the size and way you want it to. Then go to www.photobucket.com and register for a free account. I think they do email confirmation startup. Then just browse for your foofighters desktop pic (you should actually make it a .jpg in a photo editor program, I think) and then ... copy/paste the link here this way:

[ i_m_g ] foofighters.jpg [/img] ...but without underscores or spaces... those parenthesis are the ones above the '" key & the ENTER key

Or you can send it to me at athane_khagan@yahoo.com and I will display it for you like I did for Mazelure's pic in REal Photos. Please put your name 1234king in the subject line if you do send it.

Got me a new desktop. this is just the picture because the screenshot is too big for hosting

Hehehe... I have This Picture, centered, as my current desktop XD it's a Diazepam molecule I took from Wikipedia's page about it and done a bit of tweaking to it... how about that for some comedy ??

edit: Hoh boyo... I have seen the pic of Caffeine Molecule PREETY ! Me thinks I'll tweak that, too

Oh I love Milanius' chemical formula desktops. Very clever. I have one here that I really like. Makes me feel at home in Morrowind ... in Vivec to be exact on location. It is of a famous Tamrielic figure. I wonder if anyone can recognize him from his tapestry?

Tapesty Wallpaper

YESSSSS of course! It´s our sweetest serbian friend of course! Milaaaaaanius yayyyyy.....it´s awesome Ibis!

Thank you Minky ... and I will have to send you a prize 'cause you have guessed so soon. In my new mod I am working on 'The Writ of the Black Hand' he is known as Baron Milanius and he is an Aquatic Vampiric Smuggler Boss ... quite the thing, eh?

My background is an Oblivion screenshot that I took at the top of that mountain in the Chorrol Mages Guild Recommendation Quest. Very fitting considering the site is named after this town

I can see two things here, you're ready to level up, and you're using the lame Staffs!! Traitor!!

(Go's and hits the Entire Bethesda Team with Trebonius' Staff. Now THAT was some stopping power!!)

Here's my new background pic. Ok, the picture itself is actually older than my previous one, go figure. I still like it more though. The light on the ship is just wicked (Though coming from an odd direction.)


There is some bad news involved though. It appears that I have overwritten the mesh file.

That's beautiful Jack. Where is that ship from? What game?

No game, it's the Alternate Space Ship Supremacy which pretty much takes up the role as the good guy ship in a story I'm preparing to write. So yes, this is all my imagination gone wild. I'll try to rebuild the mesh.

(Funny note. The actual three letter prefix got censored. Yes, even in space there is bad language )

Tesla trooper reporting

Ramirez, I have no love in my heart for Filthy Commies, but that one is awesome

Mine now.

For anyone following my Halo fan fiction, note the minimized document I'm working on. And don't ask what I'm doing posting on a forum when I should be writing, I deserve a break.

I was surprised that no one had Vista. Then I saw that the comments were from 2006 which was the year Vista came out, Vista was extremely new. Anyway here's my wallpaper:
What can I say, I'm a Halo geek!

Good `ole Sheogorath

I switched from my 9 years old computer to a slightly more modern laptop that's falling apart at the seams. That deserves a celebration and what's better than a new desktop? (standard windows desktops are boring.


Of all the Mazingers, I always thought Mazinger Z was the lamest. It kind of makes sense, since Z is also the oldest Mazinger and animation quality in those days just wasn't so good as it is now. But the dude who made this picture is awesome. Seriously, Mazinger Z looks ten shades of awesome and more badass than Mazinkaiser!

Unfortunately, said laptop has an unofficial graphics driver which results in the most awkward resolution ever. 900 by 900 or somesuch, with a large strip missing on the right side. It also cut off like half the picture, so I put it in my photobucket album. Here's a link and just so we're clear. I DID NOT MAKE THIS BUT I SURE WISH I COULD.

Mazinger Z
Check out the lower half. Not only is the computer model awesome, but he even manipulated the photo background. There are craters in the concrete where Mazinger put its feet!

This is my desktop... found it randomly one day, while stumbling, and thought it looked awesome. I believe it's called "The Executioner".

Two laptop users in a row . Hey Wolfie, is that computer new. Just thinking because you only have 6 shortcuts..
I switched my desktop to Demongrace's fan wallpaper. It looks so cool.

I recnetly downloaded Automatic Wallpaper Changer which is an entertaining program and well worth the miniscule amount of system power it takes. Basically it cahnges your wallpaper at an interval you specify (I tend to go for the two or three hour mark) to another from the folder you tell it to look in. Thus my desktop is never the same.

Currently:


And yes speedfan does read 58 but the chip hasn't died yet and its been running at that for years (except when oblivion is going when I have to take the resistor out the fan cable or things get very hot).

Yeah, it is. Any other desktop pictures I've posted were taken on the old family pc, the latest is from my new laptop (though new is relative, since I've had it since my birthday in March XD). And yeah, there's a lot less shortcuts... mostly cause I've been trying to avoid having a pile of pointless ones like I used to

I'm trying that too (as you can see between my two desktops in this thread). I recognized that your was a laptop because of the battery in the left corner. I got this laptop that I'm using now the 12th of December last year. Yes I do know the exact date: Cool huh? (not really)

I wonder how you can be so sure about the exact date?

Because it was I who bought it.

Correct...

Anyway
behold, picture on my desktop

It's a sunrise from the island of Ruegen, Germany, where we usually spend a couple of weeks every summer

I just installed Vista, which was rather pointless.. cause I am getting a new drive next week...


So next week I will reinstall Oblivion, Morrowind, Half Life , etc..


But as for the desktop, it is something simple I created in about 1/2 an hour in photoshop.

It's a wallpaper of a band called Within Temptation, which happens to be one of my favorite bands XD

Desktop

I've got a plain black background with a slightly shrunk-down version of this picture at the center:




Before I changed it to that, it was a picture of two dinosaurs getting it on:

Darth Darth Binks is awesome. Words just can't do it justice.
(Well, although I guess a darker background would be nice. All that solid white makes my eyes bleed.)

Holy Twinky, Batman! Jack's Back!

I tend to cycle through my wallpapers. These ones are my favorites. I tend to use them either "centered" or "tiled."

Hahaa look at the clock. 13:37

My newest desktop, found via random stumbling, much like the old one. I find some really cool stuff that way

It's probably huge, but it's awesome anyway. (By the way Wolfie, that's awesome!)

Here's one I used recently:

I use the vanilla express gate background. Really really dull but efficient.

Otherwise, here is my windows desktop. Sorry, I'm not very creative
