No, I can't win. Yet another reason why you should install Linux. This is running debian linux/kanotix (my new favourite distro) with superkaramba and kde 3.2.2 http://www.compsci.ca/martin/snapshot1.png ----------------------------------- Tony Thu May 13, 2004 8:18 am ----------------------------------- Darkness - quit showing off :lol: ----------------------------------- Dan Thu May 13, 2004 12:42 pm ----------------------------------- My desktop is a 3d sphaper, you can put windows 360 around you and 360 up and down. I find it cool and makes it easer to uses 1000 windows at the same time. may not look the best but is cool. i will post my other comps some day as well... ----------------------------------- Tony Thu May 13, 2004 3:53 pm ----------------------------------- hah, it's an interesting concept, but I find it useless. I'm having trouble trying to read text when it's on the angle like that as in your screenshot ----------------------------------- Paul Thu May 13, 2004 3:56 pm ----------------------------------- hehe, thats pretty cool, isn't the task bar easier? ----------------------------------- Dan Thu May 13, 2004 8:36 pm ----------------------------------- well i mean alot of docs, and when u clikc on one it zooms up to fill the screen or part of it so reading them is np. like for my java FP i got 22 diff class files so far, more then fills up my task bar. ----------------------------------- octopi Thu May 13, 2004 8:45 pm ----------------------------------- That would be kind of useful, when I do programming, like websites, especially php, I end up with like 3 levels of taskbar, (it gets little scroll bars) where can I get this program? ----------------------------------- Dan Thu May 13, 2004 9:17 pm ----------------------------------- I know i allready sent the link to you on msn, but in case other poleop whont to try it out, it is hear: http://www.hamar.sk/sphere/version.htm Only works on xp tho, and can eat up some cpu % on slow comps when set to full rez and stuff. ----------------------------------- Martin Fri May 14, 2004 1:01 am ----------------------------------- Come now people. We have two entries, both of which are mods, so therefor you are competing with ZERO people for the prizes. To take a screenshot in windows, press print screen, open paint, press ctrl+v, and save it as whatever.png Come now, if you are reading this you clearly have a computer and therefor a desktop to take a screenshot of. ----------------------------------- Martin Mon May 17, 2004 2:01 am ----------------------------------- Really. I know you all have desktops if you are reading this. Post. Now. Or. Else. ----------------------------------- Catalyst Mon May 17, 2004 6:03 am ----------------------------------- happy? http://catalyze.mine.nu/desktop.png ----------------------------------- Danyo Mon May 17, 2004 9:36 pm ----------------------------------- no, it doesn't work.. ----------------------------------- Catalyst Tue May 18, 2004 9:34 pm ----------------------------------- sorry had to reformat link will be down for a bit :( ----------------------------------- Martin Wed May 19, 2004 10:49 pm ----------------------------------- I like it.

Ill post a pic ----------------------------------- Martin Tue May 25, 2004 12:01 am ----------------------------------- Due to the lack of entries I am extending the contest another week. ----------------------------------- zylum Wed May 26, 2004 11:10 pm ----------------------------------- here's mine :) http://members.rogers.com/zylum/images/desktop_ss.jpg ----------------------------------- Martin Wed May 26, 2004 11:24 pm ----------------------------------- NIce wallpaper. Why are you using netscape though? Get firefox, much better. Good job for avoiding IE though :) ----------------------------------- zylum Thu May 27, 2004 2:52 pm ----------------------------------- the recent version of netscape is really good and i tried mozzila and it looked like a really cheap rip off of netscape 7.0 so i didnt bother d/l firefox :/ (you know what they say about first impresions :wink: ) ----------------------------------- Paul Thu May 27, 2004 4:50 pm ----------------------------------- lol, I was suggesting for my friend to use firefox instead of the new version of netscape... I don't know why, it just seems to be simpler than netscape. Plus her IE won't work, because she has WIN ME... isn't that weird? I tried fixing some of her stuff, but I can't work with win ME at all! Whenever I try to multitask with 3 or more programs, it freezes! How lame! :evil: and its the new netscape half the time... ----------------------------------- Andy Thu May 27, 2004 6:07 pm ----------------------------------- i like firefox over netscape cuz it takes less space plus there are mouse gestures ----------------------------------- Martin Thu May 27, 2004 9:37 pm ----------------------------------- winME is the only version of windows that doesn't break over time, owed mostly to the fact that it comes broken straight from the install. ----------------------------------- Martin Sat May 29, 2004 2:39 am ----------------------------------- Contest is closing on monday, hurry up and submit if you want in on it. ----------------------------------- roer Sat Jun 05, 2004 2:45 pm ----------------------------------- dont know if its too late or not: http://s88205725.onlinehome.us/desktop.png ----------------------------------- Martin Sat Jun 12, 2004 1:48 pm ----------------------------------- Nice.
