Let's see those desktops (rev 4.0)

[Korza]

I would actually like the original picture you took - I'd love to use that as a wallpaper, if you wouldn't mind.

Not at all! I'm actually quite flattered. Here's the link to it but you may want to resize it before you use it as your background - its 4912x2760.

Here's my desktop:

Decided to change my desktop a bit from GT6 photos to real ones. By the way, any tips on how to make my deskstop look cooler/smoother/prettier?
[*snip*]

Don't clutter your desktop with lots of icons and group similarly coloured icons or related icons for a cleaner and smoother look. For a cooler or prettier look, consider downloading RocketDock and Rainmeter.

I'm surprised, how do you guys have so few icons on your desktop? Call me oldschool but I use 99% of mine

I tend to only put important icons on my desktop as icons. However if you want a lot of shortcuts on your desktop without it being all over your screen and cluttering your desktop, get Rocketdock. It will let you put all your shortcuts in a Mac OS inspired dock at the top, bottom or sides of the screen. It's fully customisable too.

A 5 year old photo of the view from my window. Because, you know, when you have Microsoft Windows, you don't look out your actual windows.

I see what you did there.

Been over a year since I changed the wallpaper on my primary laptop, so I decided to change it today...

 

[Viper_Maniac]

Been awhile since I've posted here. Here's mine right now. Nothing special. Been toying with the idea of installing Rocketdock again and have all my icons on there to give the taskbar the clean look. Also thinking about Rainmeter. Downloaded it at one time and Virustotal told me it had some nasty stuff in it so I didn't use it. Hopefully that won't happen next time. I'd really like to give it a try.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Rainmaker is really good. AVG didn't warn me of anything. Just takes a while until you find a skin you'd like to use. Way too many out there.

Decided to have a go with Rocketdock and Rainmeter. I'm pretty happy, but still not quite 100% on the themes. I didn't really find any themes that were perfectly what I was looking for. If anyone has any suggestions I'm open to hearing them. I've got the dock to auto-hide but the first picture, I turned that off to show what it looks like.

The second photo is what it looks like with the dock on auto-hide:

Does anyone have good Weather add-ons for Rainmeter?

And my phone lockscreen. The background is exactly the same, I just couldn't be bothered to open it at 1:30 in the morning

Now I just need to customize it and make it a little less busy.

Which team? Is it Pacific?

Correct. Always loved the shape of the car and the livery. Shame about the godawful performance.

Such a severe lack of funding, just at the time that the sport was undergoing the biggest technological changes, put the death knell on what could have been a very good team. The only time that a Grand Prix and a team entering the race shared the same name, oddly enough.

I've probably already posted this but I love mentioning it when the Pacific team comes up.

Their website is still up after all these years, unchanged from 1995.

[Turtle]

Wow, their website looks like something from 1995 too. Amazing to see how far websites have come since then.

 

[Swagger897]

yup... that's what I got...
I normally like to keep things a bit more organized but I have yet to do so on my new laptop.. But I always put my shortcuts on the left and trash on the bottom right. I took the shot while waiting for my flight in Atlanta and was happy with the way it turned out (If anyone wants to buy some Lego's message me).

I like how the icons follow the kerb, that's a nice touch.

Daytona RC?

I think it's also pretty interesting to see people not take much advantage of the desktop screen.
A lot of people that bash it complain it is meant for tablets, which in some instances are true, but it is no different from Vista to me.

24h of Daytona, I believe.
Well, I only use the desktop, but all the program I usually use are accessed via macros on my keyboard and in general I'm not a fan of icons

Everytime I get notifications for this thread, I scroll up first, just to see this. I love it!

I downloaded it a week or two ago just for the hell of it and one or two of the engines on Virustotal detected something in it. It was downloaded from Rainmeters website.

Anyways I made some changes. I installed Rocketdock and moved all my icons off my taskbar up to it. I love it now. Looks kinda elegant. Maybe...
