My Desktop

AWESOME !!! And love your avatar as well !!

I saw it and just KNEW I had to use it.

Years ago (when I posted here) I used this. My Old Desktop

Might have to use it again some day soon.

It looks like Divayth Fyr !!! If it's not...I blame not having my glasses on when I looked, lol.

It's my Dunmer, LeTren Thundakk.

Ooh! I saw the Morrowind on your Desktop - I just got Morrowind for Xmas and haven't gotten to play it yet because my PC was in the shop. (haven't had it back very long, and it is almost worse now than when I brought it to them, lol).

What level of seven hells,
does dead dreams dwell?

The Phantom Tollbooth?

It's been a looong time since I read that story!

Cool desktop anyway!

Ummm - it's the Tardis I think. And on two monitors?

But the Phantom Tollbooth was a fairly good story.

Mine currently (it changes every 15 minutes)

Yeah I also tend to change my desktop several times a day. But now I've had this one for quite a while.

So I finally get a screenshot worthy of my new Windows-in-a-Mac system.

Yes, I'm replaying the MQ on the PC to follow along with my story (in most of the details).

And yes, that's Julian aboard Blanco (though with Slof's horses he's not as white as the vanilla Anvil horse, but he's got all his "stallion" equipment!).

Julian and Blanco

Mods used in this screenshot: Slof's Horses (basic and extra) with sbSlof's for the saddlebags. There are other mods also loaded, but none of them are apparent in this screenshot.

Is there literally a mod out there that adds visually identifiable stallions based on their, ah, completeness?

Yes. Slof's basic mod provides for readily identifiable stallions, mares and geldings. The wonderful instructions in her read me allow one to (fairly) easily modify almost any feature on a horse, including its sex. Fabulously customizable. Differing styles and colors of coat, mane, tail, tack, accents, etc. And reins! How could the vanilla game have forgotten reins? Slof to the rescue!

@Acadian - thanks for your comments regarding the customizability of Slof's horses. I ran into the CS and made some adjustments.

I think I'll keep this desktop a while though, just because of the composition and the balance of colors in this one. It'll be hard for me to top this!

I don't understand the directions given on the first page of this thread, but I'll post a few of the pictures that are on my desktop slideshow (Windows 7 features a slideshow for desktop backgrounds, so I have quite a few. Here are some of my favorites...)

Shimmering Darkness

Dark Butterfly (I like butterflies...)

Magic Mirror by Anne Stokes (a favorite)

Fierce and Deadly...

OMG I can't wait!!!!

Anne Stokes is one of my favorite modern day artists

Gleaming City of the Elves

This is my "towanda!"

www.annestokes.com, if you're interested in seeing all of her fantasy and goth art. I highly recommend it.

And finally,

"Why do you approach the Duchess of Dementia? Do you seek death?"

These are just my favorites, and my background changes every ten minutes.

Wow! You are right, Anne Stokes is fantastic! I love her paintings. Not in the least because the women she portrays actually have clothes on, and do not have ginormous fake breasts.

The idea is to take a screenshot of your actual desktop, not simply the background picture you are using. Just go to your desktop, press Print Screen, then open your graphics app and paste the pic in.

Yes, my bro-in-law's girlfriend gave me the link a couple months ago, and I've been in love with Anne Stokes' artwork ever since. One of few artists who seem to capture the truth of womanhood. (Of course, being a woman makes that easier for her, I think )

Okay, I'm trying to figure this out. But where can I find "Print Screen"? I'm looking all over the place, trying to find it, but no luck... It's probably really simple, but I can't seem to find it... I'll keep looking. If I am successful, I'll update this post, but otherwise, I'm still lost...

If you have a Wintel computer there should be a key on your keyboard named Print Screen, or shortened to PRT SCRN. If you have a Mac try this.

I found the key on my keyboard, but it's not working... I have a laptop, though, so does that make a difference? I'll see if I can figure out my settings--maybe I have something disabled or something...

If you have a laptop, you may have to press the Function (or FN) key at the same time you press the Print Screen key.

Ah, yes! I see now! because the print screen key is also the home key, and home is the primary function of that key. The print screen part is in a little box, and I knew there had to be a way to get it to work...Never noticed the function key before, but it has the same little box around it! The mystery is solved! I shall try and see if it works! Thanks!

My Desktop at the moment I finally figured out how to get the dang thing to work! (Many thanks to SubRosa for helping me to figure it out! Simple, and yet I was lost! lol)

This one is really neat, too.

The latest.

Latest screenshot. I think Skyrim is going to dominate my background for another 6 months at least.

Great background - and I see your MechWarrior !!! HA !!!

Cool. That is awesome. Gaahhh! I can't wait for Skyrim to come out! Can't November get here any sooner????

You have got to be kidding me...

eh, MODS! We've Got A SPAMMER ONT THE LOOSE!

They'll take care of it, they bring down the hammer hard on anyone that steps out of line but aren't overly sensitive like some forums. The mods and admins here all have my respect, wish I could say that about the official forums.

*Salutes the admins and mods*

Current one

Dang, I've been ninja'd!

Here's mine. That'll probably stay there for a few more weeks until I get bored of it.

I went ahead and switched mine up. Screenshot.

I've got a new one now, I loved some of the concept art. I did a bit of an icon clean-up as well to get rid of all the useless stuff.

Currently my desktop is an amalgam of screenshots taken from Oblivion and Nehrim. Most are recognizable by the postings in my screenshot thread, but a few new ones occasionally make it in from time to time.

I've got a new one already. BethSoft just released this background.

Hee! I see you have Buffy's Apartment mod up there. What a beautiful job you did for the bowgirl. She is so grateful to you for that! That is a great backdrop for Skyrim!

Some nice ones. My backgrounds cycle from screenshots I've taken of my Mass Effect 1&2, Dragon Age 2 and Oblivion games. That currently covers 658 screenies at last count.

New machine, with really wide wide open spaces

It's a picture of a wheat field in Kansas, which is the name of the machine, because I reached "K" in the alphabet.

I also have Dakota, Egypt, Georgia, Hawaii and Indiana running. Florida just got terminal motherboard sickness, and California, Bali, and Alaska still run, but are too old to use. J is for Jetserver, which is an HP dedicate printer server. Alaska used to run Windows NT 3.51, but also did a stint as Antarctica (running Linux and with penguins on the desktop). All the machines have/had wallpaper matching their name. That's true even for the servers, where you rarely see them.

That is A LOT of space. I might be feeling a smidge jealous.

Very interesting naming convention. My dad has a Star Wars theme. Luke, Han, Yoda, ect.

Beautiful screen! (and VERY wide! Lol).

I've never named a PC, but named all my cars. Maybe the PC's would run better if I did. My last PC would have been named a stream of curse words.

Whatever games been taking up most of my time, I set as my background. These are the latest backgrounds I decided on taking:

Deus Ex

Dynasty Warriors

Fallout

Skyrim

My current background is a Supernova

Might as well dig up this thread.


My current desktop. It iterates through many Skyrim screen shots.

GET OUT.

I can't change my laptop screen. apparently this model doesn't allow that without some sort of...thing. i don't even know. So no pictures of my Snuggles on my background :[

I've got a picture of my oldest son as background on my old PC, haven't done that on this one yet even though I've thought of doing it a thousand times.

My desktop currently has a picture from the woods in mid-winter. Can´t post a pic now but I can later if requested

This is my current desktop background. I'm lovin' it!

And no, I'm not a big fan of McDonalds

Awesome! A little too red for my taste. I would have liked it more gray.

You mean like This?

Yep. A little brighter, but pretty much.
