That's why I like mine: its completely a dark colour, and at the same time, it looks cool :) ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Mon Mar 08, 2004 6:08 pm ----------------------------------- Hey! what about my shizol?! ----------------------------------- Maverick Mon Mar 08, 2004 6:19 pm ----------------------------------- sweet looks good. ----------------------------------- Amailer Mon Mar 08, 2004 6:36 pm ----------------------------------- Hey! what about my shizol?! dude, yer a mod ;D ----------------------------------- Mazer Mon Mar 08, 2004 6:46 pm ----------------------------------- Hehe, I keep forgetting that mods can't win contests. ----------------------------------- Maverick Mon Mar 08, 2004 6:52 pm ----------------------------------- hmm 1 more person MUST vote to break this tie. ----------------------------------- jonos Mon Mar 08, 2004 7:11 pm ----------------------------------- some noob is going to vote just for the hell of it and not actually look at them. or maybe someone else, but this needs to be finished, cause im already gonna cry that im not gonna win. ----------------------------------- Maverick Mon Mar 08, 2004 7:42 pm ----------------------------------- hey jonos ur a lamer. it seems sumone voted 3 times for dafoz, but i sense foul play. hmm. ----------------------------------- jonos Mon Mar 08, 2004 8:04 pm ----------------------------------- its a conspiracy, and im proud to be a lamer as it was self-inflicted and a request ----------------------------------- the_short1 Mon Mar 08, 2004 8:17 pm ----------------------------------- HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA Jonos got a lamer rank... i wonder how.... srry jonos.. but its a bit funny... also.... i agree... and dark not flashy one works good... mind you... i like the color blue.... and... so hence i like mine... other then that.... i had a dragon on my desktop, and i had the jungle theme for win 98 (cuz it was dark colors, maroon, browns..) ----------------------------------- Cervantes Mon Mar 08, 2004 9:07 pm ----------------------------------- I didn't like the jungle theme that much.. The background was okay, but the sounds were just annoying! Guess you just had to not activate the sounds. Anyways, how did dafoz get so many votes so fast?! :think: ----------------------------------- da_foz Mon Mar 08, 2004 9:52 pm ----------------------------------- hey jonos ur a lamer. it seems sumone voted 3 times for dafoz, but i sense foul play. hmm. Don't say that. Just accept that mine is better then yours:P jk ----------------------------------- Maverick Tue Mar 09, 2004 3:56 pm ----------------------------------- lol you better be joking Yours is good too! ----------------------------------- the_short1 Tue Mar 09, 2004 9:38 pm ----------------------------------- yea i disabled the sounds... and i changed the cursor to the green SC one.... but meh....acually i should add the green thing again.... doing it righte now... yea... i think Cervantes or Shorthair should win... Dragon... or aniamted... Dafoz's one kinda sucks ----------------------------------- da_foz Tue Mar 09, 2004 9:54 pm ----------------------------------- Ouch! Its simple but has meaning. I love dragons and hate bright and busy desktops. This one just fit all the requirments perfectly. ----------------------------------- Mazer Tue Mar 09, 2004 9:58 pm ----------------------------------- I don't know about 'meaning' but I agree with everything else d_foz said. Desktops shouldn't have alot of contrast in them. Smooth blends through a small range of colours with maybe a little sharpness for focus work best in my opinion. And yes, dragons are great. :wink:
