Nice desktops guys! Here's my December desktop. This is the first background pic I made so any comments on it would be great. Edit: The picture turns up slightly blurry because it's in jpg format. |

It's a system dock, it comes with Alienware's new Xenomorphâ„¢ windows theme. If you like it you can download it here: http://www.alienware.com/intro_pages/invader.aspx |

I liked the background better before I scrolled to the bottom-right corner and saw the anime girl there.
Really, it looked pretty nice! |

Well I just added that in to fill up that corner because it seems bare there when all my icons are on the left side. What could I put in it's place? |

Surprisingly decent! But Cervantes, why are you always posting Windows screenshots? |
|
| Author: | Cervantes [ Fri Dec 15, 2006 10:01 pm ] |
| Post subject: | |
Because I'm using windows all the time now. I'm sorry guys, I've let you down. I might try setting up linux during the break. I don't really have any need for windows. It's just more convenient at the moment. |

md had x-chat (irc client) and Gaim (multi protocol IM client) open, Mazer had a terminal open, and I had foobar (media player) open. None were the same. |

I also had gkrellm2 running 
The dark was too much for me though, http://nxor.org/media/desktop20061216.png. Brighter, and with beryl because new nvidia drivers don't suck nearly as much. |

Your new theme md is (I think) a little too bright. |

It's a perfect ranking! Me (top), People I talk to almost all the time, people I talk to most days, people I talk to infrequently, then there is one for family and cs.ca people. I do't see that it's too bright however... bright is good! Reminds me of the fact that soon winter will be over and I'll have heat again. |

heres my lame background |

It's not that lame but I think I know what's wrong with it. There's too much sky and not enough ground so there isn't a good balance. Do you by any chance have photoshop, gimp or fireworks? If you did you could make yourself a pretty nice background. |

No you don't need to cut half the top just recreate the bottom. |

Yeah, it's still December. http://www.cervantes.compsci.ca/images/screenshots/2007%20January.png I'm running Xgl/Beryl, but a screenshot can't really show many of the effects. I suppose I could have shown off opacity/brightness/saturation of windows, and reflections for windows, but that's about it. Got a new 20" widescreen LCD monitor, so that explains the resolution.  |
