Ah, a thread for desktop images? A fine idea, Q4(V)-san. ^_^

I cannot remember boasting around with my background in this forum, but knowing how much I usually brag about them, it wouldn't be a wonder if I had done that here as well. :D

I cannot attach a screenie of my current desktops right now, however, as I'm at uni and have all my comps at my parents' place in a completely different city. :L I'll show you my lovely Emuii-san background when I get back to my comps, in a bit less than two weeks time. ^o^

Oi, now just a moment... let's not get these expectations that far. ^^; I'm 100% sure I've not said about making my own desktop, because I've definitely not done it (I only use Paint anyway, so it wouldn't turn out too well). ^^;

My desktop's nothing special, a grey Windows Classic theme and an OS-tan background image. Naturally, I love it myself having selected the image myself but it's not 'magically good' or even exceptional. Just a picture of chibi Emuii-san on a meadow. :D

I had one image of Nisen-san and Ekusupii-san (can be found from the gallery, I think) for a long time, and before that the Magic Knights... Nisen-san dominates the desktop of the one computer I rarely use, while Ikuyo Suzuki-san's in my oldest still operating comp. Oh, and every now and then I switch to Gekigangar 3 theme. Let's go, Gekigangar 3!!

My longest-serving desktop image, however, was a picture of Edgar Street (a football stadium, home venue of HUFC), which I used without changes for approximately six years before my anime tendencies took over. ^^;

Here's the desktop of my newer computer. Just like I said, nothing fancy; no flashy special effects in toolbars or fantasy-like use of colours. Just Emuii-san on a meadow, and I love it. ^_^

The picture can be found from the gallery. Any criticism will be met with stuck-up attitude and ice-cold glares. :D

Gentlemen, I'm appalled. Do I look like a pervert to you? Are these innocent eyes of mine even possible to see viewing something with lust? Are these clean hands capable of even navigating to some dirty material, let alone saving it onto the hard drive of their owner's computer?

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/32827981/  <-- My current theme.

On Mac, cmd-shft-3 takes a picture of the screen and saves it to the desktop.  On windows, I think you hit the "Prnt scrn" key or something like that, which then puts the screen on the clipboard.  Go into your favorite graphics program (like Paint) and hit paste.  Then save.

Nice background, rpb-san. ^_^

And yes, under Windows you use the Print Screen key (it's right above Delete and Insert on default keyboards) to take a screenshot, and then open up Paint and choose Paste. I'm only repeating rpb-san's words, though. ^^;

Calm down....v_v

YES, At the low end, therefore, the PC desktops are marginally less expensive than the Macs -- IF EVER you live without their connectivity and multimedia capabilities -- and considerably more expensive if you can't. At the very high end, however, all of the design focus is on multimedia processing and the PCs simply aren't competitive from either hardware or cost perspectives.

Yes, PCs run at a faster clock speed than Macs, but they have 20 clock cycles per operation, meaning it will take longer to do an operation than a Mac running at 7 clock cycles per operation. PC makers have used this tactic for years, they thought that if they blotted the PC with gigahertz that the consumerwould be so dazzeled that they would forget every other factor.

People forget talking about ergonomics, design and lifetime. Point is, not all of us computer users have the same requirements for us to us it in our daily lives. We all have different requirements by choosing a computer. If your requirements are a cheaper and faster in every cycle per operation process, rabid gaming, required updating, go and stay with your PC, no one forces you or anyone to use a Mac. I even have a PC at home, but compare to it I am really enjoying using a apple latop at work coz it feels like home whenever you have good multimedia stored and easier storage of files.

I no bash? I made a suggestion that Macs may not have the greatest value per dollar. Seriously, rants aside, if someone gave me a mac, or offered me one at a good price, I would take it. It is superior to Windows, but not quite in my price range. Anyway, I'm planning to build a computer in the coming year, but with the new Windows Vista. Mac OS 10.5 would be kinda neat, but more novel than productive. I'm building a home computer to use for the last few years of high school and to come home to when I go to college. I plan to replace it in about 2015. Then build another one to replace it with whatever OS I feel is good then. Could be Mac OS, the replacement for Windows, or Linux. No hard feelings, eh?

I've taken a rendering of XP-tan which is on the front page of, erm, whatever web
site it's on the front page of; and I've added my own colors.  I've also done away
with the Dick Tracy pointed chin and the very-pointy left elbow.

(http://flyvapnet.com/myPictures/MeStuff/DesktopWallpaper060924A.png)

Be advised this is the only place on the web where the above image will appear,
so let's not be having any aneurysms as a result of righteous indignation at my
adulteration of an original piece of art.  In the privacy of my home, on my little old
local machine, I'm allowed to play around with whatever comes across the cable.

To the original artist, whomever he or she may be, I'd like to say this:  Thank you
for creating the best rendering of XP-tan I've yet seen!  You've masterfully dealt
with what I consider the glaring weakness of most anime/games/manga renderings
of female characters:  Flat Butt Syndrome (FBS).

Apparently, explanations dealing with commerce and/or expediency to the contrary
notwithstanding, most anime/games/manga artists have never beheld a female
human going away ââ,¬â€ or from the side, for that matter (except when it comes to the
matter of breasts).  Fortunately, XP-tan seems less prone to FBS than are other anime/
games/manga female characters; and for that I'm grateful.

Title: Yes!
Post by: MisterCat on September 25, 2006, 07:12:16 PM
Flat Butt Syndrome (FBS) strikes me as being really weird, SleepyD,
because anime/games/manga artists have the frontal anatomy of
females figured out but not the dorsal anatomy.  Even when pains are
taken to show muscular detail in a rear view, FBS is observed.

It's rather like some manner of large clamp has been attached to
females' hips at birth, pressing front and back, so that any vestige of
a butt is made perfectly flat.  I'm reminded of the foot-binding custom
which used to plague China, or the vertical head-binding once
practiced by a Native American Indian tribe.

Even my favorite anime hero-type female of all time, Ifurita from El-
Hazard
, suffers from FBS.  Here's what I mean:

(http://flyvapnet.com/myPictures/Art/Anime/El-Hazard/15LJEH18A01.jpg)

See?  She's got hips a-plenty, just no butt.  Where did it go?

Is there no cure?

Seriously, it has never bothered me. The Japanese are so good at drawing breasts, it makes up for it. Just look at this compelling evidence of a Japanese breast:

No fair showing pictures of food, NewYinzer!  Now I'm hungry.  Fortunately, we've plenty of rations in the galley.

You make a very important point, regarding the new spying trend being employed by bureaucracies both private and public.  Invasion of privacy is becoming common law, at least here in the States.

For most of my working life, all the boss ever cared about was my getting the job done right.  What I did on my own time was none of her/his damned business; and management was in full agreement with that philosophy.

But now, who knows just who's listening or watching whom?  I don't care, because I'm retired on a disability pension and have the luxury of not caring about such things; but for you and squillions of others, it's become a considerable concern.

;026

As for Flat Butt Syndrome, I propose anime/games/manga females eat more cheeseburgers.  XP-tan, especially, will be glad to learn of this proposal!  (A perusal of those forums you will be avoiding reveals she burns a lot of energy....)

mmm food... Curse it, now I want some In-N-Out burgers....

Well, I think it's been mentioned that the majority of asians have a slim build, due to diet and genetics.  (of course, those who live on a fast-food diet are likely as obese as many others)  I did a little reading (some of it would be considered controversial, but lighten up people) and many asian females don't satisfy what people would consider "curvy"  Furthermore, the big-breast thing is most likely due to the stereotypical view of American females in Japan. (And with all the movies and stuff we send over there, who could blame them?)

I am asian and I have trouble gaining any weight at all no matter what I eat... (and I don't work out either) I am starting to avoid anything overly oily or fatty tho... My family on both sides have a history of diabetes and I'd like to avoid that... I still eat my rice tho... hehe  

And to remain somewhat on topic, here was my desktop before 2k-tan

LOL. yes she survived. she actually was the reason why shinji rejected instrumintality in the series/movie, even his mother couldn't convience him to accept it

SERIOUS SPOLIER!!! (http://youtube.com/watch?v=78xMptgZNS0)

That link is to the last 8 minutes of EoE. you should watch the rest first. This is the part that shows Asuka amd Shinji as the only survivors of the would-have-been end of the world
Title: Alas!
Post by: MisterCat on September 30, 2006, 02:51:39 PM
Thank you, brouge, for that link to the video!  If this means ââ,¬â€ as it appears from the video ââ,¬â€ that Asuka's stuck with Shinji, then I'm of two minds about just how happy one should be that she's at least temporarily alive.

My main gripe in regard to anime is that there's always some male kid who's made out to be the big hero.  Maybe that goes over well in Japan; but I think it's pure unadulterated bullshit, which is why I like the OS-tans.

Both Asuka and Rei run circles around Shinji in regard to character development, so he can just go back to middle school or wherever he came from and leave the real work in the more-than-capable hands of our female polar-opposite duo.  It's a bit too late for that, I suppose, the way things stand now; but I'm going to use the time machine to go back and speak with the NERV people....

Been a while since I watched Eva, but as i recall his character, I think he would've agreed with you.  But leave it to all the other characters and a very sadistic script to shove the whole hero thing down his throat.

Oh well, at least in EoE, they paid the price for not sticking behind the more capable female characters.  ^-^

[Poor Asuka though was stuck with a pathetic excuse for an "Adam".  ^.^]
Title: Post Your Desktop
Post by: brougeXP22 on September 30, 2006, 05:04:33 PM
what's with the shinji bashing? ^^; geez. Asuka may have seemed super capable and all but she's like glass. One thing breaks her every time. same goes for shinji. i love asuka as a character but i also respect that shinji is an anti-hero. although once shinji see's someone in danger he's totally different which is one reason why the asuka/shinji pairing for adam and eve wasn't that hard to believe. Asuka loves shinji. It's obvious throught-out the series and it's shown in the directors cut episodes (whcih i own). they're the perfect disfunctional pair as far as anime couples go. Total foils of each other but also incredibly alike in a lot of ways. They need each other so asuka with out shinji is like peanut butter with no jelly when you sit and think about it.  ;011
Title: Oh?
Post by: MisterCat on September 30, 2006, 05:54:27 PM
All right, brouge, be that way.  If it'll make you happy, I'll call off my visit to NERV and the series can go ahead the way it's already been done.  Just don't expect me to write Shinji any letters of recommendation.

;014

Seriously, though, my objection to these boy lead characters is that they're given (in my view) too much exposure at the expense of female characters who are invariably more interesting.  Plus, whenever the going gets tough for a female character she's depicted as eventually being helpless; and it's those selfsame boys who are then made to ride to the rescue.

If the people who produce anime series would lose their boy-hero fixation and let female characters go ahead and save the day at least half the time, I'd be much happier about the whole thing.  So it's no so much Shinji himself but rather the producers' dogmatic clichés, to which I object.

I'm feeling a vague sense of deja vu here,...  ^v^'

But again, while that was very true in the past, still true in some present circles, and certainly true with a lot of non-japanese productions (where for some reason strong women have to = smartasses, no exceptions), a lot has changed in the Anime world since at least the latter half of the 1990's.  

Thanks to shifting cultural paradigms, we now have gems such as the Slayers series, the Banner of the Stars series, the Read or Die tv series, and the Ghost in the Shell tv series that actually make the case to respect and admire strong female characters, regardless of whether they're accompanied by males or not.  Often an Anime or a live movie simply throws in a strong woman just for comedy, originality or polical correctness, hence inevitably making the attempt fall flat (and in need of rescuing by the ubiquitous boy hero).

Naturally, Miyazaki-san has always been WAY ahead of the curve on this issue, hence why Nausicaa was considered such a revolutionary character both in Japan and abroad.

I don't want to appear as being too forward, NewYinzer, but could it be you're experiencing an emergency?  I'd be glad to help, if you think my assistance might of use.

For example, I've several dull kitchen knives which in spite of their inability to cut through vegetables in the manner of their youth are nevertheless formidable when presented as daggers.  Also, I've a hammer ââ,¬â€ the one I keep in full view of my computing-system's monitor screen as a psychological deterrent to cyber-thoughts of blue screens ââ,¬â€ which would serve well as a club at close range.

The mere idea of shots being fired causes me to think of words such as "bad," "hurt," et cetera!  So if you're in need of support in the face of these attacks from that E personage you've mentioned, please let me know so I can hide under the bed come riding to the rescue in the traditional anime manner of an annoying middle-school student (which I'm not ââ,¬â€ a middle-school student, that is).

Not only are there 1000 varieties and flavors of Linux, many of which can run off a simple memory stick (even Floppy DISKS!!), but 90% of them are free!  And 100% of them use millions of varieties of applications that are GNU license, or in other words FREE!!!  ^V^

In fact, my sig and all my drawings were made with Inkscape, a free vector graphics program designed for Linux, and fixed up using GIMP at times (a free image editing program neck-to-neck with Photoshop), and used to render props in Blender (a free 3D graphics solution that is equally as capable as 3D Max -- if not for the gawdful interface... >_<)

Should also note that I do own and use SUSE, and originally installed it on a junk computer that I bought off a friend for $20USD.  Eventually the hard drive died, so I patched it up with an old 8GB hard drive I had lying around.

Even though the Maximum Install size would have taken up 3 gigs of that space, the installation is fully configurable so you can literally check on/off all the individual programs you want installed.  The minimum install, plus a few additional programs I use, cost me less than 800MB of disk space.

So what da ya say,....  Interested in all this Linux stuff?  ^__^

It could probably help you with ideas and stuff since a lot of the source code is available for viewing.  Depending on the particular distros you play around with, you can even modify it to suit your own needs, or practice features that you might eventually want to export to GyrusHex.  ^__^

i knew about the xbox-linux mod but not about the MP3 players. I still use windows and probably won't use linux till i get my new comp. Plus what is lindows?

Lindows is now called Linspire.   It's a Linux distro.   In the beginning it tried to provide easy Windows compatibilty from within Linux using Wine.  But that's not the goal anymore, now they just aim to make their distro as easy to use as possible.   It's not free, the cheapest version costs about $50.   I've never tried it.  There is a free version called Freespire also, but I haven't tried that one either.

Bless your heart, XP #22. ^__^

It's great to learn Linux just for the sake of learning how operating systems function in general.  The SUSE Linux GUI is intuitive enough, but if I really want to get some serious customization done, I have to get my hands dirty.  To the point where I can return to my Windows machine and laugh at the claustrophobic simplicity.... ^___^'

BTW, after I've gotten a feel for SUSE, I'd love to try this one out....

It's all AmigaBob's fault,... his uncontrollable cool factor has fired up an interest in any kind of Amiga-like operating system I can get my hands on....  ^.^

My Windows desktop is boring (maybe I should spruce it up with the C64/Amiga wallpaper C-Chan made :))

Anyway, here a desktop I set up in WinUAE, to show that "classic type" (ie. non-PPC) Amigas can have cool desktops too!  (Yes that's the equivalent of WinAmp running, the Amiga can play MP3s, as well as display all kind of picture formats and surf the internet the same way as any other respectable computer ;) ).

I'd like to get all this over to my A1200, but before I can do that, I have to put it in a tower case, get a better CPU and lots of hardware such as graphics card and 16-bit sound card.  Unfortunately, it's as you know, quite pricey, but maybe one day I can put some spare cash aside.   Anything for my dear Amiga, I won't leave it for dead!  \o/

Not something I use (or am extremely familiar with), more like a curiosity, this is a desktop running Teradesk, a desktop replacement for Atari 16/32-bit TOS-based computers. (TOS was originally a single tasking operating system, only capable of running one program at a time).  It was the direct competitor to the Amiga back in the days. Though clones of the systems are still being produced, running Motorola 68040 or 68060 CPUs, they're not well known.  I don't think the PPC CPU ever made it to that part of the computer world.

There was the Macintosh project, which was separate from the Lisa project, which was developing a lower end computer with a GUI. There was also the Apple III and Apple II projects.

QuoteAs for the Apple III, I have one piece of advice:
Pick it up and drop it!

Hehe, I remember that was the advice if the computer didn't work.  The chips had come loose or something.   :P

Oh, I missed out on your Apple-tans, C, (I see they're in your sig too, but they were a bit small to catch what it said on Lisa-tans hairclip). They look great.   ;010

Quote from: "C-Chan"

QuoteHere is the time where my nerdiness comes in handy. The Lisa, which was named after Steve Jobs' illegitimate daughter, was Apple's first computer with a GUI. At that time, there were competing projects with different goals. There was the Lisa project, which was for a business computer with a GUI. There was the Macintosh project, which was separate from the Lisa project, which was developing a lower end computer with a GUI. There was also the Apple III and Apple II projects. In the end, the Macintosh project came out on top. For more info about the Lisa:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Lisa

The TechnoYinzer strikes again!  ^v^

Indeed the Lisa was Apple's first GUI OS, although with such an enormous price tag and with the success of the Macintosh, it's often mistakenly believed that the Mac has that title.  ^^'

QuoteAs for the Apple III, I have one piece of advice:
Pick it up and drop it!

Hidoi desu!  ^o^
BTW, remember how I squirmed my way out of drawing an Apple III-tan?  ^v^
Probably better than I did, since the Apple III was simply a rebranded Apple II.  ^^'

I saw your post on one of the pages in this topic and hey!  I saw your desktop background of your Amiga desktop. AmigaOS has a nice design and interface too! I bet there are several things why you love it XD


Anyway, since you're here I'll post mine...

Ooh, this is probably for you, AmigaBob.  Although I did post my SUSE Linux desktop with C64/Amiga-chan on it.  ^__^
AmigaOS should probably appeal to Alfamille especially, since the interface is quite Mac-like.  ^v^
Especially OS4 (even runs on PPCs).  ^__^

Truth be told, I'm blushing.  ^___^
Now my porcine description and vaguely perverted fascination with a woman's height is forever immortalized in that screen cap of yours.... ^^'

Quotesuch a simple desktop...*sigh*

Thank you, SilentBob.
Given the scope of the project, though, I'm starting to regret that it's not a Wiki.  (That way, then, everyone could write a little something about their favorite OS-tans, or a system they might have had experience with.)

BTW, I might be getting members mixed up, but didn't you say you were involved in advertising of some sort?  '_'
Title: Post Your Desktop
Post by: Silentbob on October 18, 2006, 10:06:48 AM
I do work in an advertising agency yes.   Though web design and such is not my forte in case you were wondering. We got a separate division working on those kind of things.   I mostly do ground work on advertisements, clean ups on pictures with Photoshop ++ and double as assistant sysadmin when the other guy is too busy or not at work.  ^^;
Title: Post Your Desktop
Post by: C-Chan on October 18, 2006, 10:17:33 AM
Coolness.  ^__^

Actually, I was wondering the following things:

1) Are you good with Photoshop / drawing programs in general (from what I saw in your answer, yes).  ^__^

2) #1 being true, do you engage in artwork or at least collaging (the next logical step after cleaning up images is altering existing ones to create something new).

3) Unrelated to #1 and #2, would you be willing to critique some of my work (especially the Annex faction logos), and let me know if there's something I can do to improve their impact?

4) In consideration of #1, #2, and #3, is there anything I/we can do for you in exchange for your potential help?  'v'

It may come as a bit of a surprise, but I'm not much of an "arty" fella, to tell ya the truth.  We usually deal in ready made clip art , pictures and other material from our art department for the stuff that we make, as we often have a high workload and tight deadlines to meet. Some of us don't even have an educational background in the trade.  (I myself started off working as a computer technician, I ended up where I am now by chance. One of the reasons I double as assistant sysadmin). As for the touching up of stuff in Photoshop it's usually limited to some speedy removal of objects not supposed to be in the picture, colour alterations and such.  It's like an assembly line, some of us do the basic ground work for some of the material, and then send it over to the next guy for the final touchups, we found that it saves a bit of time, because our department boss is like "I NEED THIS AND THAT, AND I NEED IT YESTERDAY!"   ;013  

I used to draw a bit back in school (many years ago), but that was about it. Simple stuff really.  I hope I didn't give you a too high impression of my abilities.  -_-;    Though that doesn't mean I'm incapable of giving useful critique to art, I'll take a closer look at some of your drawings if that's what you'd like me to.  Heaven knows I've seen enough anime over the years to get a feel of the genre.    =)

Yeah, that sounds familiar.  -v-

In my case, I'm kind of the reverse.  Began as an editor for an insurance company (not having an educational background in the trade) and evolved into a computer [more like software] technician.  Now I'm the overall "Go-To" guy, although I have plenty of run-ins with ridiculously crazy deadlines.  ^___^'

A while I go I proposed an assembly-line approach to 4-koma comics, in order to spit them out quickly and with minimal time commitment from everyone.  But it really didn't fly.... -v-'

Thank you AmigaBob.  ^__^
That's always helpful, of course.  ^.^
But so as not to tie up your time too much, I only really need the faction logos scoped out since they're each meant to represent a lot of -tans and besides they're also the only thing I am able to update at this time.  Due to scheduling limitations, I note all shortcoming for my OS-tans pics (torso issues, for example), but generally leave them as is after they're done.  -v-'

I'm always happy to see people volunteer some bit of artwork, although I can understand if there's no time or will to do so.  But I certainly wouldn't discourage attempts on lack of talent or practice alone. ^^'

Case in point, I am not an artist nor have an artistic background nor have engaged in a lot of original artwork in the past (a lot of cbeap collage work on Photoshop, though, such as this parody of The Ring...)

(http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g2/C-Chan_2006/OSRing.png)

Still, with a lot of improvisation and emulation, I'm able to stick my snout in this art stuff rather comfortably.  ^__^

I was hoping to write a sort of 'Non-Artist's Cheaters Guide to Anime Cel Drawing', to see if that can inspire visitors to take up the paintbrush and try their hand at OS-tan depictions.  ^__^
But aside from the tackiness of the idea, I think I've alreaady bit off more than I can chew as far as outstanding projects go. ^___^'

QuoteAh, C-Chan, I like your inclusion of that number-9 girl in the upcoming Hallowe'en festivities. She's Sonata-tan, eh? Please give her my best regards!

Haha, Number 9 girl, that's cute.  ^.^
Before Alfamille stops by with a lynch mob, just want to let you know that the girl is in fact Mac OS9-tan.  ^__^
We just call her Sonata since that's the original codename for OS9 (and it slides off the tongue easier than "OS9").  ^___^'

So many Etna pictures, btw, are making me curious about Disgaea 2.  It seems she reappears in the game's storyline, although I could be mistaken.  -v-

The comic is cute (in a morbid sort of way), btw.  ^^

Actually, this one isn't too obscure.  In fact, it's often considered the TRUE (albeit by now, dated) alternative to Windows....

the Ubuntu download server is fantastic and eliminates the need for me to scavenge the net for RPM files.  ^__^

As it happens, C-Chan, I've not yet screened that Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez 1999 film The Blair Witch Project.  I'd like to, but so far the opportunity ââ,¬â€ which has presented itself ââ,¬â€ seems to have slipped away.

;018

I know, I need to get out more!  Well, whenever I'm next at the video-rental shop I'll hopefully remember to snag that film:  It's one of many, which I remember only when I've returned home from said shop.

The "Come See me Tonight" Folder could be assumed as night-time related school work, like moon watching...god those long hours how standing outside for a few minutes, and draw the position of the moon for science...and now I have chemistry!!

Or maybe it refers to come see me as the computer...why would I want to see the computer, I'm looking at it right now?

Maybe I need to see myself, as in realize that my raging paranoia is just a stupid fear that there might be someone outthere who looks like me (aka my good twin) who will kill me in a Highlander-like fashion, and scream, "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!".

Well hopefully it is just the moon work as I'd hate it to be --
Thundercracks in the background and someone screams out, "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!"

If you want a CPU graph on your toolbar, eComStation's is cool but my Xubuntu Linux has one just like it and it's free.  ^___^

If, on the other hand, you want the power and prowess of a modern, multi-threaded OS/2-clone (and have $269USD to spare), then by all means join us.  ^__^

Title: I'm hooked!
Post by: MisterCat on January 14, 2007, 02:04:02 PM
Thanks, Captain.  I missed this place!  Well, I'm glad the administration set up rules governing image-file size as (in my view) it was really getting out of hand.

o_o

It seems to me it's only the width of image files which should be a concern.  How tall an image file is doesn't really matter, as message boards are usually designed with vertical scrolling in mind.

Surely this will sound like a silly fixation on my part, but over the years I've established my own parameters for image-file posting:  I like to post images which are either 320 or 500 pixels in width; and so if an image is, say, 400 pixels wide I'll reduce it to 320.  The image-editing application I use does a much better job of quality retention when a file is made smaller rather than larger; but if I decide to make an image larger, I first change it to a Bitmap file and then change it back to a GIF or JPEG after resizing.

Actually, my favorite format is PNG; but having spent time in Dial-Up Hell I know it's best to post JPEG-format image files.  With these desktop-wallpaper files, however, I usually go with GIF as JPEG results in too much loss of quality.

Title: About that missileer....
Post by: MisterCat on January 19, 2007, 02:56:27 AM
As it happens, those Titan II complexes were all deactivated 25 years ago.  That friend I'd mentioned, Stewart, was in the Air Force at about the same time as me:  c. 1965-69.

Stewart passed away two-and-one-half years ago, after a lengthy fight with bone-marrow cancer.  He'd spent the previous 30 years in the field of social work; and he was my therapist, working out of the Vet Center here in Portland, for the 12 years prior to his illness forcing him to take medical retirement.

It's my view, as it was his, that extended contact with fumes from volatile missile propellants contributed to his illness.  Anyway, Stewart was a Missile Combat Crew Commander back in the day and would have been one of the two people on duty at that Titan II complex to simultaneously turn a key (not press a button) enabling missile launch.

Since I'm alive to write this ââ,¬â€ and you to read it ââ,¬â€ it's obvious the launch order was never given.  Stewart told me that he'd initially decided to obey a launch order (the crew talked about this frequently) but after a few months changed his mind and intended to refuse such an order; yet during the final months of his commission he came to resign himself to following a launch order.

He explained that the person second in command would have simply ordered somebody else to turn the other key.  (There were four people on duty in the control room at all times.)  Please forgive my digression from the thread topic!

Exa, you're right:  I do change my desktop wallpaper often.  I might suddenly see another potential-wallpaper image which I really like; or I'll just get bored staring at the existing wallpaper and begin a wallpaper hunt.

Mind, I really like my recent wallpaper which showed the totally-gorgeous Johanna kneeling on a beach in Nova Scotia; but then "something came over me" and I put up that artistic diagram of a Titan II missile complex.  However, it soon struck me as being perhaps a bit too stern an image; so now it's all butterflies, plants and a rabbit-ears chick.

I have wallpaper cycler 3.1 on my machine, which not only changes my wallpaper every 10 minutes but also does some quick visual work on the image to add some variety...

of course, when you only look at it once every hour or two, you tend not to notice.

i'm usually not too fond of things that make an OS pretty, Windowblinds isn't that bad actually but DesktopX is one of those bugging, snacking programs, and i only use them when it's actually practical
I use windowblinds myself for example for a better overview of things and a cleaner look, but disabled all animations i'm pretty happy with it And animations really do snack, try disabling the shortcut menu animations on a mac G5 and see how fast it can launch an app, for XPpro it takes less I guess but still I don't recommend any animation of GUI.

I had a similar program called Wallmaster which does a similar thing but I think without the visual edits. I could really confuse people with 1-minute(!) wallpaper changes...

I'm happy that you like that design - that means I don't have bad taste! :) I was just surprised because  I thought Hungarian equipment is not that well-known by Mecha Musume design creators... And I don't know anything about her in terms of personality - I just find this pic in a Mecha Musume picture pack.

Quote from: "Gummster"Yeah!! Another Ubuntu user! This wallie is seriusly impressive I must say, But what  cought my attention is the theme, where'd 'ya get it?

The theme is my custom FastGrass, it's a combo of Crux (Controls), Smokey (Window Border), and Human (Icons).  I'm pretty sure it all came with my installation.  I decided to do it because I got bored with Human theme and just fiddled around with the theme and other aspects of the interface (changed the splash and login screens) until I was satisfied. Fun.

I also can't really take full credit for the wallpaper.  It's actually two separate wallpapers that I didn't create, but it was my idea to combine the two.  I just gimp'd the two images and pagecurled the top layer.... YIPPEE!  I'll probably do one with more original content later.

*facefaults*  Oh never mind.  All this HaruNata Alliance stuff made me confuse your Ubuntu desktop with Alpha Cluster's.....  T___T;

See how Alpha Cluster's desktop looks a little sleek and has that red diamond in the task pane?  That's Beryl, or essentially the Linux response to Vista's Aero (although Compiz-Beryl have been around for a bit longer).  

Check it out sometime, or search "Beryl" in YouTube to preview it.  -v-

It's just the die-hard (Mac, Windows or Linux) zealots that absolutely refuse to see (or acknowledge) any faults in their system, nor any strengths in their competitors, that annoy me. "K8", my comp, runs XP great. With good upkeep, it's fast, stable, not very virus-prone, and looks good. But I've used my fair share of XP's that have been the opposite...and I'm not afraid to say so.

That pretty much nails it.  Personally, I have to wonder what schools they go to where they have the luxury of Macs (even if it's just System 7 stuff), when there are schools with 5 decade old textbooks and typewriters in lieu of a computer lab (or at least some 80's computers).  But that aside, the answer is probably the same as to why IE still controls a huge market share of the browser market.  When it comes down to it, relatively few people are aware that there is such a thing as "Linux", let alone education-oriented distributions like Edubuntu.

Hell, before I began getting into OS-tans, my entire world was essentially Windows and Macs, and I couldn't really perceive of anything else, regardless of how beneficial it would be to my pocketbook or my hardware.  

Linux needs both more advertising AND the elimination of the geek-only image that often detracts those who have at least heard of it a little.  It's one of those little ironies that the people who run education systems aren't necessarily the brightest bulbs either, so you can't expect them to always do their own research.  ^^;

Post by: C-Chan on May 17, 2007, 01:01:03 AM
Oh come now, if the Linux purists caught word that I wooed you over with just Beryl, they'd crucify me.  ^^;

For one thing it is still int he alpha phase,... and while it doesn't stop it from being jaw-droppingly stable, it does hiccup on some distros not designed for it.  Compiz is better in stability, but is FAR more boring.  ^.^

In any event, I won't encourage you to ditch Windows ever, cause Linux is more about choices than about Operating System.  The Linux mentality means that you're free and willing to use as many Oses as you want, however you want them, whenever you want them, just like how I kept XP as a boot option AND also virtualized it on my Xubuntu desktop.  ^__^

The benefit to dual booting is that, if Windows ever goes done, you'll at least have another system to go online, process your work AND repair your Windows installation (or at least evacuate any files you want saved).

But even without dual-booting, the one thing I know you would LOVE about Linux is that the majority of the major distros now have LiveCD (or LiveUSB stick) options, meaning you can run a distros entirely from RAM disk without ever installing a thing on your hard drive.

This both serves as a way to "try before you buy" so to speak (to see if the distros is right for you, or if all the hardware is working properly), and it also serves as a fully-featured rescue CD.  Heck, I used one to browse the web, draw in inkscape, and right some C programming applets while it was busy repartitioning my entire hard drive!  ^v^

So yes, I hope all those offer much better and more exciting reasons to join.  ^___^

Since you're fresh off XP, I have to recommend PCLinuxOS 2007 as your best bet to kindly introduce you to the world of Linux.  It's user-friendly AND gorgeous, and has support for 3D desktop effects too.  ^__^

But that's only if your machine is 32-bit; if 64-bit, then MEPIS or the ^Buntu's.  ^v^

I'd recommend Minty,... but since you live in the US, you're technically not allowed to download the non-Lite version.  (You've got some screwed up copyright laws, I'm afraid to say.... ^^;)

I don't think "K8" will be running Linux soon...the old Win98 (if it runs...that's to be determined...) would be the one I'd use Linux on. I'd like to run it off of a CDR/by USB...so I'd like something that runs on RAM alone.  

PCLinuxOS does sound pretty neat, though :)

Installation of DesktopBSD went ho-hum, but didn't like it (what the HELL kind of partitioning job and file system was THAT?!!  @__@), and it freaked out my poor Xubuntu's mount points afterwards (using UUID labels rather than the actual device names was not a good idea, for whoever genius thought that up... ^^')

Poor Senpai, your BSD experience seems almost comical. I've never tried to set up a dual-boot BSD anything, so I haven't worried about partition tables. Glad everything worked out in the end, though!
Title: Post Your Desktop
Post by: C-Chan on May 21, 2007, 09:37:14 AM
I suppose I could've just kept trying, but I think I better just try and get better at Linux before I even think about storing its distant kin on the same machine.  ^^'

Don't get me wrong,... the installation, while a touch intimidating at times, was relatively user-friendly and the OS opened up to a nice and comfy KDE environment.  But aside from a few things not working [sound], something just felt.... out of place. '__'
And then it was nice enough to set iis partition as "BOOT" even though I thought I told it not to.  Puppy fixed it, but then loading Xubuntu showed boot errors which could be bypassed, then no mounts once I actually got into the system, then a nice gaping black hole in Gparted where BSD was installed (yes, even I never heard of that FS, so I couldn't blame GParted.... ^^;).

In fact, I sorta reformated the BSD drive to see if that fixed the boot errors, so you can say I cut it's life short to save Xubuntu.  Would've actually have been unnecessary if I knew then how to edit the FSTAB, but oh well, what's done and done.  I reckon PC-BSD would still be a better choice (though I don't have any more 32-bit machines... ^^'), but like I said, I'll hold off till I REALLY know what I'm doing.  -v-

The swap, at least as far as I'm familiar with it., is essentially preallocated hard drive space used as a kind of virtual memory.  Very handy for when memory-hogging applications consume more than the physical RAM available.

In any event, still no Puppy screenshots, but I did swap OSes between my junk computer and my laptop, so now it's my lappie that runs PCLinuxOS....

With a nice brush-steeled wallpaper (it's usually blue).

Sorry for the lack of Beryl, but my poor lappie is too old for it (I had nearly forgotten they created Twister K cards back in the day.... ^^').

Besides, if I keep flooding my pics with the stuff, it'll get boring after a while.  ^v^'

Back on my Xubuntu machine again.  -v-
XP performance is amazingly fast,... so aside from some OpenGL features not working properly in Hexagon, and the fact that I accidentally made the image too small (so I can't fit some of the voice programs I wanted yet), it's almost like running it off the boot partition.  Heck, I can probably just get rid of the partition install at this rate..  ^__^

Also applied a slight transparency on the Window so you can sorta see who's really calling the shots.  How ironic that it's the little mouse that's telling the cats what to do....  ^v^'

Quote from: "Bella"Okay. What is swap anyhow? Heehee...

if there is too few RAM for everything you have there, the OS can save some pages of the memory to disk and use the freed RAM for a different purpose. the place of the disk which stores these part of the memory is called swap.

Fixing the iconset took like half an hour due to StyleXP not liking me. -v- The wall, though was easily fixed by me from a crappy 640x480 screenshot to a 1024x768 wallpaper with even better quality in less than five minutes.

Hey! Are you mocking Gintoki-sensei?? He's the absolutely second best character Sugita Tomokazu ever voiced, second only because Kyon is GOD! (or well, er, more like, god's slave)
And he is from Gintama, btw, which is a must-see if you haven't already. Currently being subbed by Rumbel who are at ep 28 whilst the series are at its 59:th episode i think (still airing, omfz! greatness!), but the 22 first episodes are available from Shinsen...
...the first line in the series being "BLEACH!" from Kurosaki-kun makes it all kind of clear this is definitely the type of anime you laugh your sorry ass off quite quickly to.


And I've actually only used Inkscape once, for the H-NA logo...

Wha- HEY! Senpai, are you implying that I would be using vista? Me, arch-pirate of the board, and general antagonist of all DRM crap? No way man - that's just some StyleXP in the works, nothing more. Although I admit it's stylish ^^

And you Xeon, you've got it real pimped up there ;) - but how is vista anyways? Doesn't the DRM suck at the RAM like a leecher on 100mbit sucks bandwidth, or Tsubashi on crack sucks blood?

No wonder you were bashing Vista in one thread, and still posting Vista-like screencaps in this one.  I just thought you were going crazy.  ^^

Gomen gomen, I take it back -- you ARE safe from DRM hell.  ^v^

So guess that means "yes", Mr. Xeon, you are our first member to admit to using Vista.  We also have two fanbois pledging to get Vista later this year, no questions asked, so maybe you'll have reinforcements.  ^.^

I still can't grasp the concept of blocking an entire operating system, especially when there are hundreds upon thousands of varieties of Linux out there.  Surely if they could break your bro's security before, -- and they REALLY want to mooch off your internet access -- they'll find a way somehow (what with the great Linux spirit of "Hack Free or Die").  Suppose they tried virtualizing a Windows system within VMWare (although not sure if it can do wireless)?  Or what if they got their hands on a less-than-legal copy of 2K, XP or Vista beta to dual-boot and tried that?  

At least you certainly help me feel justified for mistrusting wireless connections.  ^.^

In any case, less talk more posts, ne?  ^__^

Had my first successful foray with SAM Linux 2007 today and am officially, 100% FLOORED.  @o@

For those unfamiliar with it (and I don't blame you, with that unmemorable name), SAM Linux is a Linux distribution based on PCLinuxOS, but using a very sleek and heavily-modified version of Xfce.  Meaning you get all the awesome goodness and user-friendliness of PCLinuxOS, but on a system that's much kinder on older hardware.  ^__^

Plus you get other interesting additions too, such as multi-language support, some very awesome preinstalled games, a MacOSX-like dock,... and....

...SOME WIDGET...................... THINGIES......!!!!!!!  ^v^'

(I still don't see the point in them, though, other than to get your money's worth off that RAM.... ^^;)

Anyways, when I booted it up, I found he had set the desktop to cycle through some two thousand pictures of himself on a five second interval.
And he wondered why his computer was so slow... ^__^'

AHA!!  Now THERE'S an answer worthy of Kings!!  ^v^

*offers whole cookie jar*

Indeed, that would be the "Midget II" by the legendary Japanese auto-maker, Daihatsu.  The most adorable thing on barely-four wheels, and ultra fuel efficient by default (you can't get past 72km/h on this thing).  ^^'

STEP 1:  Right-click on the Task Bar and select "Add New Item"
STEP 2:  In the list of panel applets, select the one that says Screenshot.  A little camera will appear in the taskbar.
STEP 3:  Rick-click on the camera icon and select Properties.  Here you'll be able to change the Screenshot delay to something which will give you plenty of time to set up the shot.  (5 seconds is good)
STEP 4:  Close the Properties windows.
STEP 5:  Left-click on the Camera icon to start the screenshot.
STEP 6:  Position your Beryl desktop to where you want it and hold for 5 seconds.
STEP  7:  DONE!!  A pop-up window will ask you where you want to save the screenshot.  ^.^

If you have Bryce or Vue, apparently they make it easy to produce panoramic images of the correct dimensions.  I'm saying this cause the overwhelming majority of those themes available for download are obviously generated from Bryce and Vue (and maybe Terragen).

FYI, yesterday I tried out SAM Linux 2007 TR1, which is the first test release for the next version of SAM.  Aside from a slight graphical overhaul, the version introduces (among other things) brand new OSX-like widgets, uber-extra language support, and some new games to replace the less-exciting ones.  System stability is suspect, though, so I'd recommend waiting towards a better Test Release to try out.  ^__^

Everything's looking nice, and even see you used Mandriva-san as your wallpaper... very nice and technically-savvy touch.....  ^___~

And speaking of Frozen Bubble, today while I was awaiting at a movie theater, I managed to get my work laptop to accept SAM (I had problems with it before, but turns out all I needed to do was switch to a generic monitor driver).  Originally I wanted to spend the time to play with the system a little more,... but turns out I ended up laying A LOT of Frozen Bubble instead.  ^^;

Awesome game to pass the time, although I was pulling my hair on some of the random stages....  -v-;

Ohhh,... you'll be fine.... If you can work up the courage to create a swap partition on a 10-year old system with only yay RAM, you can do anything....  Especially since it's also a LiveCD (like just about anything these days)....  ^__^

Besides, I'd advise you only see it for the eyecandy and eWaste reduction potential -- aside from my little blurb in the Linux thread, we also have to contend with the fact that you only have a few days left to play with your old Compaq.  -.-

And don't forget, you really can only use this on the Compaq, since Elive is an i386 distro (and incompatible with AMD64's like K8-san.... ^^).

Title: Post Your Desktop
Post by: Tsubashi on July 04, 2007, 01:35:49 PM
Well... which 'that' are you talking about? ^^'

-The desktop is form Elive, a Linux distro.
-Eyecandy is an expression used to describe something that is most remarkable by its appearance
-A swap file is an area of a computers hard disk that is set aside for moving blocks of data between the memory and the disk. It allows an operating system to use hard disk space to simulate extra memory
-RAM is Random-access memory. RAM is the most common computer memory which can be used by programs to perform necessary tasks while the computer is on;
-A LiveCD is an operating system stored on a bootable CD-ROM that can be executed from it, without installation on a hard drive.
-i386 refers to the Intel 80386; a microprocessor which was used as the central processing unit of many personal computers from 1986 until 1994 and later. During its design phase the processor was code-named simply "P3", the third-generation processor in the x86 line, but  is frequently referred to as the i386.
-The AMD64 is a 64-bit processor architecture invented by AMD. It is a superset of the x86 architecture, which it natively supports.

Woohoo!  Welcome to the forum, fellow X/K/Ubuntu user!!  ^___^
That is a very neat effect where the virtualized XP is positioned so it kinda looks like a different wallpaper on the Beryl cube.  Hopefully a future version of Beryl-Compiz will allow for real multiple wallpapers.  ^____^

When you get a chance, don't forget to introduce yourself over at the Member's Introduction thread!  ^v^

Quotei was wondering what elive really was, how it works

I wrote a huge blurb about it here:

http://ostan-collections.net/post-32100.html#32100

But if you just want the gist of it, it's a unique 'artsy-fartsy' Linux distribution that adheres to the strict philosophy of Form over Function, and uses the Enlightenment desktop manager (as opposed to, say, Gnome or KDE).  This means the distribution is amazingly fast and detailed even on very OLD systems (minimum requirement = 100mhz w/64MB of RAM), but is also a little awkward to use since it's works very different from other desktop managers.  For instance, there is no taskbar or "start" button -- you left-click on the Desktop for the Configuration menu or right-click to pull up the Applications menu (this makes it somewhat similar to Fluxbox).

Course if you still have curiosity (and perhaps an old machine you could try it on for maximum 'wow' factor), don't forget that it's also a LiveCD and so can be tried without repercussions to your permanent system.  -.-

Oh, you didn't get that punchline?  I meant he included everything but the explanation of what a "pig" is.  Just a friendly jab at his overly-detailed response,... although coming from me, that's like the kettle calling the pot black.....  ^v^;

In any event, you're quite welcome, although I do encourage you to try out at last one distros in the near future.  Not to replace your current setup, but at least to get you acquainted with the concept of a LiveCD which is VERY VERY VERY useful for troubleshooting any system problems.  ^__^
It's one of the more revolutionary things that the FOSS community has created in recent years.  ^^

Instead of Elive, though, I would rather recommend something more well-balanced and XP-like.  PCLInuxOS comes to mind.  ^^

Hold on a sec....


*transmits telegraph message to Tsubashi to "gomenasai" repeatedly on C-chan's behalf*

In any event, let's see if I can find a solution to the unruly skydome pics.... -v-

Beryl is pretty picky about the screen resolution of your Skydome image in relation to the power of your graphics card.  A high-end graphics card could make use of a high-res 4096 x 1024 format, but a smaller one will likely end up with a white or black blank screen.  To fix this, try resizing the horizontal dimension of the skydome image your using.  For instance, if the image was 4096 x 1024, drop it down to 2048x1024.

Sure it might look squished, but as long as you keep the Animate Skydome option selected, the image will stretch out in a panaromic shot resembling its original dimensions.  

Just to test this out, download one of my skydome images and see if it works for you:

You can still install neat things on server OSes, of course.  it's not all CLI's and grayscale...  ^___^

Besides, that screenshot is likely of OpenSolaris, which is the OSS version of Solaris.  True, Sun has the former head of Debian working for them, so there is still a way in hell that Solaris may at least catch up to the user-friendliness, ease of installation and overall sugoiness of modern Linuces.  And the fact that they opened up Java recently is a step in the right direction.  ^^

The only thing that's keeping them down is,... well,.... old-school corporatism.  ^___^;

Ok, I failed. That sucked in comparison to Beryl...

But...
3D functions kinda suck, be it Vista or Linux with Beryl.

I just don't see the point. I won't deny I like eyecandy to some degree, but sometimes its just excessive. Doing it the old way its faster and more effective. First screenshot taken just for the sake of it, but I don't really use the 3d Flip function. And I have tested Beryl on a friend's computer...kinda cool, but don't really see the utility, aside the 4+ desktops.
I would have disabled aero interface If it weren't for the fact that the basic interface sucks hard.

I agree too. 3d effects are tons of fun to show off, but when it comes down to it, I really don't use it. I tend to simplify my settings when I'm working, which is why it's easy to use 2k-chan if I absolutely need windows. Without the eyecandy, the other windows really aren't that different from 2k.
Thing with Beryl, though, is I it doesn't require a lot, so running it isn't too detrimental to productivity; I can run it and forget about it. Same on my Mac.

uh? people actually use Microsoft Support?? o_O
Anyway, I usually don't mess a lot with  Windows. Only tweak details here and there to upgrade performance. Nothing much


Quote from: "Tsubashi"Without the eyecandy, the other windows really aren't that different from 2k.
so true. The only other thing I like about Vista it's the indexing thing. So much faster to find a file this way. I'm even starting to change the names of my files to actual names (not numbers..) due to this. Search tools on XP were too slow and unaccurate. And I know, Google Desktop did this before (dunno about Linux, probably too), but I never liked Google Desktop.

QuoteThing with Beryl, though, is I it doesn't require a lot, so running it isn't too detrimental to productivity
And that's the most important characteristic about Beryl I always hear. I don't know If it's just Microsoft incompetence or they made Aero such a resource hog on purpose. I hope it's not the later. Probably it is.

However,  2D interface are still the best. The only good reason for creating a Beryl-like interface on Windows (and that cube, by now, still lags far away from Beryl) would be to stop the exodus of people attracted by Beryl into Linux. Gotta keep the balance in the force :D

I think your a little late senpai..... because according to the license below
"License Misunderstanding:
Before buying, you should carefully read the fine print and understand what you are buying and what that license entails. If you buy an OEM license for Vista, you can upgrade a multiple times only on one computer, provided you upgrade components just about twice, preferably never. If you upgrade more than twice, the license becomes void and you will need to buy a new one. Retail license copies, on the other hand, can be transferred at any time."

And since mine is an oem version.....and i formatted more then twice....HAH!! I DONT CARE I DONT LIVE IN THE US ^__^ FREEDOM!!! XD*besides im not buying another copy just because i formatted to much.....*

QuoteWithout the eyecandy, the other windows really aren't that different from 2k.

QuoteI just don't see the point. I won't deny I like eyecandy to some degree, but sometimes its just excessive. Doing it the old way its faster and more effective.

And don't worry, Fighting Bunny,... Gummuntu... According to the Captain, some time around Christmas, during the height of the Wii craze, there was a store with hundreds upon THOUSANDS of Wiis just waiting for non-PS3 and 360 players to adopt them.  With a town/city like that, surely there must still be a HUGE surplus of Wiis available for enterprising individuals such as yourselves.  ^v^

Cause personally, I haven't seen one in stores in months.... -v-'

i have not tried compiz-fusion yet, but my friend already has it installed and says its great. I have both beryl and compiz installed on my Ubuntu, along with Metacity, but neither compiz nor beryl work due to my graphics card being horrible. I only left them installed because I actually installed Ubuntu Ultimate Edition 1.4 CD Gnarly Gnome which is essentially feisty with some cool stuff pre-installed.

Awesome!  Well, until I can get a better graphics card than this ATI Radeon X600,....................... [outload towards ATI website]  ATI RADEON X600......!!!!!  Â¬o¬

....I'll have to wait till the full release.  ^^

But the videos I've seen look unreal -- unless Leopard can pull off better eye candy, those graphics seem indomitable!  ^.^

On Xubuntu I managed to get decent native Beryl performance using just the Xorg drivers, but naturally it was never quite as fast.  On PCLOS, I have fast performance using the ATI legacy driver, but Beryl is not native (rather XGL, which means a lot of conflicts with video and other GL apps.  I've tried out the proprietary drivers from the ATI website, but although they've improved considerably they still suck.  ^___^;

In the meantime, I'm just living off of rudimentary KDE eye candy,... still waiting for KDE4 and permanent widgets.  ^v^;

Funny how my junk computer I recently gave away -- an old HP pavilion 1.4ghz with a Nvidia Geforce2 GTS -- managed to run Beryl better.  (albeit still on XGL)  ^^;

It's actually a combination of things. It was originally intended to be a screensaver (http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/lotsablankers/lotsawater.html) but with the help of Backlight 2.0 from freshlysqueezedsoftware.com it becomes a very cool desktop background (with a few source code modification to improve performance on Sazaki-chan). Unfortunately, I I can't seem to find Backlight 2.0 anywhere on the web anymore! So I've
put a zipped package (http://ihatesnow.org/Bklgt.tar.bz2) up on my server if you'd like to try it out. I can't remember if it needs configuration, but I think it ought to work

Added after 6 minutes:

Okay, checked on one of my older Macs and it seems to work just fine. But I sorta packaged that tarball funny so I'm going to fix it ^^'
File will be back in a minute!

Added after 21 minutes:

Just tested it on a clean OS X install, and it worked fine, so I'm confident it should work. File is back up too.

Though a word of caution, the can be quite processor intensive, so if you intend to actually use the computer, I recommend toning down the frequency and detail levels of the screensaver and then setting Backlight's processor priority to twenty (20) (available in Backlight's options). Then it runs decently on a higher end system (most any Intel Mac)
Have Fun!

Yeah, not sure what's in the Fisher Price theme, but XP runs helluvalot faster with the older (and some would say more functional) 2K/98 look.  ^.^

BTW, great news!  ^v^

Puppy Linux 3.0 is out and it's FANTASTIC!!!  ^V^

Not only is it the first offical GPL'd release of Puppy (I didn't realize it before, but the versions we used were only LGPL and before that... *SHOCK*... semi-proprietary... @o@), but it's also introduced some Slackware code.  And from what I've read, it's also compatitble with Slackware packages/applications!  ^v^

This opens up a whole and brave new world of app availability for Puppy-chan, although since this happened very recently (last week), it'll take some time before you really start to see this work wonders.  ^__^

And I still think FluxBox freaks me a bit, but I'll take what you say to heart and try it out slowly and thorougly (via DSL probably) when I get my Asus 3ePC.  ^^
(although it really does a number on the Amarok theme.... ^.^;)

Played with Mandriva 2008 a little more while I was in the middle of the Leopard demo surrounded by OSX users.  Very sweet, cause no one knew what the heck i was using (although they did know about the *Buntus), yet they still loved that sweet sweet Compiz Fusion.  ^___^

I was just happy got 3D and overall graphics settings working properly instantly, and even though I don't use wireless, I managed to connect for the first time ever (on ANY system) into the Apple wifi without so much as batting an eyebrow.  ^__^
(well actually, I still had to go to the connection menu and pick a network, but I was honestly expecting something much more complicated)

Wanted to post here, but didn't last long,... too many users I suppose, since network congestion disconnected me and most of the Macsters.  ^___^'

Very very impressed,.... although this just means I'll eagerly await PCLinuxOS 2008, I may stick it into an auxiliary partition to get used to it.

In any event, couldn't take a screenshot so I'll post one of the pictures from a review.

Also attaching a screenshot of Leopard, because that was also pretty sweet tonight (Time Machine graphics are gorgeous).  ^_______^

Pitkin, either that's an awesome theme or Windows or Linux, or you've got some sort of Amiga based OS...?

Though the theme on the window there seems sorta familiar from GNOME or something...

Yo Pitkin-dono!  ^v^
I'm quite confuzzled as well,.... that's certainly Gnome, but doesn't look a thing like Fedora Core.  On the other hand,....

....

*coos*  I did hear of a special Linux windows manager that imitates the Amiga Workbench, so my guess is that you've used it.  Coupled with Alfamille's splendid wallpaper, and presto!  Insta-Win!!!  ^v^

...

Just add water, though.  ^.^

Speaking of which, I'm loading up a quick screenshot of gOS at its best.  ^v^
Notice the number of applications available to download via Synaptic.  ^^

Thanks for the nice comments, Bella-san, C-Chan. ^__^ However, behind that desktop is nothing more mysterious but Fedora 8 with, not Gnome, but xfce window manager. ^^ I'm positive that the impression of Amiga-based OS or Workbench imitation (which sounds yummy *_*) comes mainly from Alfamille-san's background image (kudos to C-Chan too), as the only thing I've actually done to the theme has been to change the default xfce start menu image (the mouse) into that lovely red'n'white Amiga ball in the bottom-left corner. ^o^ My OS starting splash screen has Commodore logo on it, too. <3 Wanted to have all niceties.

Gnome doesn't allow as nice customization as xfce, or rather, it's not easy enough to do for a computer idiot such as myself. ^^;;;

Oh, and finally, huge thanks to Fedora-Tan who always helps me when problems arise; without him I'd probably have no computer at all currently. ^^

That would explain why I recognize the window manager, I must have seen it on Zenwalk :P

I guess the lack of a dock of some kind threw me off...every OS (two XD) running xfce I've used has had one...

Aa sou, so I was half right anyway,... that is Fedora Core.  But how stupid could I be to confuse XFCE with Gnome!  ^___^
I mean I know they are inherently similar (right down to the double control panes), but come on I've only been using Xubuntu for like 4 months straight.  I suck,... baka C-chan...  ^^;

Well the Amiga Ball did erase all references to Fedora Core, so I guess that's where my initial confusion was.  ^__^
But yes, if you ever used AmiWM, your desktop would be even MORE unrecognizable. ^^;

QuoteGnome doesn't allow as nice customization as xfce, or rather, it's not easy enough to do for a computer idiot such as myself. ^^;;;

I love KDE for the same reason.  ^.^
Enlightenment seeeeeems very customizable at times, but at others no.  '__'

QuoteOh, and finally, huge thanks to Fedora-Tan who always helps me when problems arise; without him I'd probably have no computer at all currently. ^^

Well not really,... you'd still have PAN-chan to use.  ^.^
But yes, Fedora-dono needs a standing ovation for all his recent work!  I call it the "Fedoran Standard of Excellence"!  ^____^

*standing ovation*

QuoteI actually thought that was the latest version of the Amiga OS you were running! ^^;

Oh know.... if he started using AmigaOS 4.0, Amiga Inc. would probably sue (cause they're greedy bastards).  Oh why oh WHY does Miggy-chan have to be imprisoned by such horrible people!!  Free her already!!  ^0^

QuoteI guess the lack of a dock of some kind threw me off...every OS (two XD) running xfce I've used has had one...

Keep in mind that C-chan knows how to put 2 and 2 together, and realized very quickly that the more often he makes fun of the Darknight, the more artwork the Darknight produces, and more importantly, the FASTER he finishes it.  So the C-chan has since developed a genius plan to seed this super inspiration -- via a targeted pissage method -- to the Darknight whenever a lull is in effect.

Hence,... as they say,... the proof is in the pudding.  -v-

Actually, not really a custom version of PCLOS,... just the same thing with a fancy nickname and a lot of stuff removed to fit the unit's SSD.  If anything, the project will probably slip back upstream to PCLinuxOS, so that an EeePC or general UMPC build option can be made available.  ^.^

Not necessarily.  You're also able to upload individual pictures to each post if you want to.  The last two I uploaded from a location where I can't access my FTP account, so hence why they are simply "attachments" to my posts.

However, if you do have OS-tan artwork, you're definitely encouraged to create your own User Gallery here for them.  ^^

Wow!  A giant Osaka!  Aside from being cute, I'm obliged to love it for other reasons.  *v*

As for how to post the image rather than just the link, you need to surround the URL address of the picture itself with "img" tags like shown here:

[img]http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/12056/My_Desktop.jpg [/img]

The result will look like this:

(http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/12056/My_Desktop.jpg)

But like I said before, try to just "attach" desktop wallpapers to your posts.  Try to limit uploads to your User Gallery for OS-tan artwork as much as possible.  ^^'

QuoteAhhahahahah..... heh.

I wouldn't think so. The EeePC's screen is closer to a 16:9 aspect ratio, as opposed to the 4:3 ratio of that last pic.
Then again, just a guess ^.^

Fufu.... Wrong on first 2 accounts, right on last one (Tsubashi's).  That ReactOS screenshot isn't mine, just one of the random desktops I pluck off the internet from time to time.  

However, I did just download a copy (the installer version -- the LiveCD one doesn't seem to work) and tried it on my virtual machine.  Kinda cute,... but indeed, it's REMARKABLY similar to Windows 2000.  ^___^'

Have heard of attempts to install it on the EeePC, but with the usual outcomes of trying to install lesser-known stories (xyz works, but no wifi, ACPI, etc.).

Tsubashi-dono, your Gentoo is looking viewtiful.  ^____^

Nice screenshot! I see a little note next one of the buttons on Inkscape ;)

Isn't Gentoo a difficult distro to get running? I remember reading the kernel needs to be compiled before it can run...

You've tried ReactOS as well? Hmmm...

*to the bandwagon!*

I dunno...I've always like to get a bit of native flare when trying an OS. I've never really been too intrigued by clones or dopplegangers...

Heehee. That was for C-chan-senpai. A while back we were talking and I made reference to the sculpt feature, entirely forgetting that it isn't in the current release. I figured, since I had it up I might as well make note, ne? ^v^

QuoteIsn't Gentoo a difficult distro to get running? I remember reading the kernel needs to be compiled before it can run...

Well, Gentoo certainly isn't a point and click install (though I've heard there is a GTK graphical automation script...). It's well documented, and not very hard. It is definitely not a distro for people who are afraid of the command, though.
Plus, technically every distro needs a kernel compiled. The difference is whether you have a pre-compiled kernel, or whether you do it yourself.

QuoteYou've tried ReactOS as well?

I haven't given it a thorough run through yet, but yes I have. One can get very bored while waiting for a 4000 page document to print... -_-'

Try running the ReactOS install CD in this:

http://www.virtualbox.org/

Personally, I find it to be the best desktop virtual machine as far as performance, cross-platform compatibility, and price [=free] is concerned.  :)
And in any event, that's how it worked for me.  

Speaking of which, here's me with VirtualBox running the latest gOS:

(http://ostan-collections.net/annex/Images/screencap01.jpg)

From what little I've seen so far, it looks like a BIG improvement over 1.0.  The dock is more OSX-style, the Google bar less annoying, the effects more polished and the layout more mature.  I definitely have to commend them for the quick and diligent improvements.

QuoteOoooooh....I always assumed an EeePC wouldn't have enough system resources to run any kind of window manager like that...

For some mysterious reason, PCLinuxOS runs far faster and snappier than in the AsusOS.  So 3D graphics that usually choke along in the custom Xandros build run okay in PCLOS.  Compiz Fusion is particularly smooth, and its zoom in function is extremely helpful in such a tiny screen.  ^^

As far as storage, you're already cutting it at 4GB, and neither modern Linux nor Windows could possibly fit anything useful inside a 2GB footprint (the 2G models).  But since we're using a compressed file system for EeePCLOS, we can cram an entire production suite similar to the one in the AsusOS inside a 600MB footprint.  And that includes Open Office, mind you.  `v'

If EeePCLOS can be made to work flawlessly on a 2G model, then we can actually help make the $300USD model commercially viable!  ^.^

QuoteThat screen brightness thingy on the left stands out for me...

Yepper, it's supposed to.  You only see the OSD image for about 2 seconds before they phase out.  It's a lot cooler seeing it in action.  ^.^

Question:  did you make this unattended edition of Windows XP yourself using something like nLite, and with a legally-purchased license of Windows XP [whatever] edition that, AND to replace a preexisting installation on a single computer?

Or did you grab it from somewhere?

Any unofficial revision and redistribution of Windows XP is bound to tread on murky legal waters of some sort, so I'd be careful.

Consider rereading the standard EULA:

FAT always worked (well not exactly since 0.01 but it can be expected the same way ext2 support can be expected from every self-respecting Linux). NTFS used to make issues but that became good by now as well. My bro rescued the data from an NTFS harddisk which the windows wouldn't recognize with a live CD.

Hello peoplez,
I'm back and packing something very.... large.... today.....

Contrary to what it may seem, I in fact DO NOT own a Mac.  I'm just babysitting this one for a friend of mine for about 3 months or so.  It's very great for watching movies while I work on my beloved EeePC's.  ^^
Functionality is not what I thought it would be, but I might just need some time to learn the ol' girl.  She's still *Nix based,... kinda.... ^.^

And to supplement the Penguin God's answer, the distribution I'm working for (EeePCLinuxOS) relies on a Fat32 partition to set up the Live environment + accompanying Changes File.  It works best given the limited space constraints of an EeePC 2G or 4G, although an 8G can comfortably support a normal install (or at a least a Poor Man's install with an Ext2/3 Changes partition).

Title: A couple desktop images
Post by: Robert on March 24, 2008, 06:35:52 PM
Hi,

The one with the translucent windows is a picture I took years ago just to look fancy. I don't actually use terminal windows like that because it'd be too difficult for me to read; I use black text on white. At the time, I had the desktop background cycling between two images of  Panther-tanidentical pose but different in color and one had a tail I think, so the images faded back and forth slowly like portraits in Disneyland's haunted mansion (now the haunted gallery is back to lightning flashes). The lower right terminal window has a bunch of flower photos I'd taken of tulips and lilies, thus the filenames.

The image with all the widgets is to show you the Tiger-tan widget. You can change what she talks about. I changed it at one point to get words from a Tigertan BBS and I tried translating some of the Japanese using machine translation.  Since the latest mac OS is Leopard, she says things such as (going by memory), "I still love you... Tell me you love me!"

I don't normally have desktop icons so huge, but I wanted to show the Xenon design used to represent the hard drive. A friend mocked me for having a generic default computer name, so I re-named it after the Xenon pinball machine.  

The pinball display shows what I'm working on, but it looks bad because all the graphics are simply placeholders and I'm working on the design itself.

Nah just kidding.  Here you go [attached below], but as you can see it's nothing really.  In fact,... the program is literally that,... nothing.  ^__^

It's the first part of a really good tutorial that I'm beginning to read that will help me learn how to use Kdevelop and QT Designer, the two main programs needed to create KDE programs:

http://women.kde.org/articles/tutorials/kdevelop3/

(Oh and if you're wondering from the title, yes, the tutorial was made by an all-female staff it seems, or at least for the most part.)  ^^

Actually haven't gotten too far in it because I'm taking a little time off to learn the C programming language first, just so I can get better understand C++'s roots.  I should be done with its introductory book today.  ^___^

(and I've also been building a giant piñata for a friend's daughter, but that's another story)  ^.^

Gotta go, but will return later today for my usual visitation rounds.  ^^

In the meantime, a small screenshot of the newer KDevelop....

QT4 Designer is a Graphical User Interface design tool that works with QT4, the latest of an excellent cross-platform application development framework developed and dual-licensed by Trolltech.

The screenshot shows development work on Marble, which is a kind of no-frills mini-Google Earth that can be integrated into the new KDE4 desktop environment.  

However, point of fact, Google Earth WAS built with QT, so I guess the similarity is not accidental.  ^___^

It takes up a whole GB for the bloody desktop, it's also helping itself to the processor real good and the standard windows games (patience minesweeper etc) require hardware acceleration from my videocards!!!
So it sucks, if it weren't for the fact that my anime is flying in because uTorrent is going at 70k instead of 7k and my SLI finally works like a charm and i finally get good framerates in games...

Your not the first pilgrim to come here looking for it, either. When that video got posted our membership count here skyrocketed, with every single one saying the same thing "I saw this video on youtube and Im looking for that program!"  And we told each of them the same thing "It does not exist"

If you look around I belive there is a thread where people are discussing making one, you could look into that. But Im afraid that your search for that one ends here.

eh, before my membership was made here, i understood that clearly.. careful study of these videos showed the same desktop and their icon positionings.. [ what was clever was..say it is how thru video trickery clip overlapping clip trick if that how it was done..] how that person postioned his icons over the ones that are static on the video clip of that xp-yan, so when he clicked on the icon that looked like a folder(?) or shortcut to a browser(?) but if a clip over a clip the window shouldn't dominate over the flash image/video like the one i posted above..who ever did that, gave props to this forum[ well to the general OS-tan Community] in the title credits..
however it is done it WAS done..so it exist in some form or another..
as an amature coder of yahoo exploits, i can sometime see the exclusiveness to not 'share' the trick to readily..thus giving themselves an aura of 31337!..

in my search to bring it a reality to my pc brought me to the point i am now with my desktop, the 3d desktop, my backgrounds, widgets, docklets..etc.. all in one month..so pardon me for being optimistic, if their is a will there is a way ;)

@Bella, well it took only the installer to see that it was going to be bad, and it is...
But my gaaaaaames! My GAAAAAMES!!!! They run soooow nice now, and uTorrent, it's so fast now...
But then again she's (Vista) really, REALLY paranoid... I have to tell her, every install i make or every new program i run, that it won't kill her...
Then again... The GAMES!!!

Well, i already do like Vista...

But the problem is Vista is kinda like 2 things in one...

On one side you have a gaming platform, wich is (or will be) able to run games really nicely, and therefore is basically just an evolution of XP...

On the other hand however, they (M$) smothered Vista with unneccesary (and unnecesarily demanding) eyecandy and trinkets, slowing down (or crippling) the system...

So, basically if they make a sober, stripped version of Vista, like XP, but with better gaming api's (like an evolution of XP), then it will be a good (for M$'s doing) windows...

So, yeah, I love it and hate it...

I'm afraid to show myself at the MEWXPZLFUDAWV club...  :D

Well I can certainly appreciate the can-do spirit, especially since you feel optimistic to recreate something which clearly would take quite a bit of time and effort to reproduce.  As you say, when there's a will, there's a way. :)

It's been a while since I've seen that video, but if memory serves (and your description is accurate), the XP-tan startup affect can be reproduced given the following "ingredients":


All the elements can then be brought together beautifully, either through Flash, Premiere, Cinelerra or iMovie, depending on what you have on hand, and then published as an AVI file.

So impossible it is clearly not -- the only real challenge is in the matter of time-consumption, which is generally the largest impediment to such a project.  At least that's been the greatest impediment to all of MY projects....  ;D

In any event, that's enough about that.

Smokester, I'll reply to you about that at the Club,....

For now, here's a little tribute to the Post Your Desktop thread (remember that? :P ), which is also a tribute to something fairly recent....

Oh! Right. Now, since this is some desktop-related thread, I'll guess it's cool to ask desktop-related questions too, ne?

HERE WE GO~


As I've previously mentioned, I've just gotten myself a second monitor (22"wd LCD btw), so now I'm running dual. BUT! Here's the annoying thing: I dunno how to set different backgrounds on them. It just takes up both. When I play games, the main monitor uses the game, and the secondary changes wallpaper resolution (but other res remains), but if I try to multitask between the apps (like I have Winamp in secondary and something like, say, NHL 08 in the primary, and just slide over and try to change songs by klicking on something in the secondary) alt+tabs out of the game and goes back to desktop. Is there any way to fix this, so I can multitask without having to take constant ALT+TAB shit?
Also, if I open a video file (in any player that is not flash or browser-embedded otherwise) in the secondary, my primary automatically switches to showing that video in fullscreen - all while the secondary is still showing it windowed.

TL;DR - SHIT SUX, HALP PLZ?

In any event, now that I'm overrun with netbooks and have also retired from semi-development, I've taken some time to try out a bit of the competition (relative to EeePCLOS).  Some of the distros are flat out awful, but others deserve honorable mention and/or a tip of my hat.  This one below, despite being a tad sluggish on my EeePC 701, is actually surprisingly nifty, and certainly does show off the marketability of Ubuntu Netbook Remix for netbook OEMs.

Now I'm just waiting to give Mandriva's new "netbook remix" a shot -- I'm curious if they borrowed anything that my group worked on or not.  -v-

Wow! That eeebuntu looks cool! How does it compare to eeePCLOS?
Title: Post Your Desktop
Post by: C-Chan on September 21, 2008, 07:26:56 PM
It's hard to compare, since Ubuntu Netbook Remix has far-and-wide corporate backing, and plus there was already plenty of prior support for Ubuntu on the EeePC (thanks in part to eeeXubuntu and earlier builds of eeeBuntu).  By contrast, EeePCLOS was always a niche project even within PCLOS itself, so getting help for anything system-related from the devs was oft-times like pulling teeth.  -.-'

Ubuntu NBR is supposed to operate better on netbooks with Intel Atom processors -- however, it performs well enough on the EeePC, and it's unaccelerated boot time is not bad at all (45-50 seconds).  

Actual operation is sluggish compared to EeePCLOS (especially with movies), but not overbearingly-so (and not worse than Xandros).  Once the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor is installed, it's easy to underclock/overclock the CPU to get either long battery life, or optimum performance.

The UME-launcher is very nice, the best one of the market netbook UIs bar none.  However, it's not entirely responsive yet owing to the beta-ish nature.  Still, what I like about it is that the Add/Remove Software option is prominently visible here -- and most new software is automatically added to the launcher.  This is an OVERWHELMING improvement over the AsusOS and the AcerOS, which try to force you to keep the desktop launchers frozen in time.  ^___^'

The system only offers a full installation -- since EeePCLOS uses a compressed install, our system will always provide the user with the most usable space from these small devices.  However, the full install makes sense for the newer machines, which either have a hard drive or offer much larger SSD drives (8GBs and greater).

Not to mention that SD cards are so cheap nowadays -- I purchased a 16GB one for my B-day, and still can't get over how accessible these things are versus how they were only a year ago!  @.@

All in all it's a good system, but I'm not going to settle for anything at the moment.  The Mandriva one interests me quite a bit, especially since it boasts fast boot times as one of its features.  Given that the Fastinit Reimplementation group tested their thing with Mandriva, it makes me curious to see if they used that (or something approximating that model).  ^^

Entirely custom-made wallpaper, half inkscape, half shoopdawoopage.

Also below is the dualscreen version. Not much difference, but meh.

So for my first post in this thread in forever, I decided to provide some neat examples of how even a low-end PC can composite desktops.   Interesting note, despite xfwm (XFCE default window manger) having built-in compositing, it tends to run more sluggishly than using xcompmgr with KDE/Openbox.  Anyway, I should also note that I can not take credit for the Morrigan walls, they were done by a guy who calls himself ARK.  He seems to be making these all the time, and he is really good.  I must warn you, while I do not think there is any actual nudity in his walls, they tend to be highly suggestive and would not class them all as SFW.

QuoteKDE, using Openbox, xcompmgr compositing, kinda Halloween-themed wall.

Wow, that's a hodgepodge of elements.  Never thought of replacing Kwin with Openbox -- gives it an interesting XFCE-like flavor.  Thought that was Simdock, but based on the shape and reflection of the dock floor, pretty sure it's Avant WN.  :D

QuoteXFCE, using xfwm compositing, Halloween-themed wall.

I see you like your XFCE panels minimalistic.  I usually end up cramming them Full o' Crap.  :p

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ^v^

Certainly not for the faint of heart as there's lots of first-product bugs to slug through.  But once there out of the way, the true potential is unleashed.  ;)

Wow!  I disappear for freakin one week... ONE WEEK!  ...and Acher shows up out of the blue.  Long time no see and good timing (the extra posts are welcomed).  ;)

What a Linuxy icon theme you have (I know it as "Crystal SVG").  :P

Deep in the recesses of the kDE4 Subversion files there is experimental support for multiple wallpapers, making it the second Desktop Environment (besides Enlightenment) to have that capability natively.  Would've tried to play around with it, but too busy playing with Intrepid Ibex still.  ;D

Speaking of playing, I got a little curious about Plymouth in Fedora Core 10.  Virtualbox is probably not the best place to show it off, but did like everything else I saw.  Has a very nice Gnome setup, but the KDE4 one is en par with Mandriva's.... -v-

QuoteSo shiny....is it running Compiz?

Nope.  ^__^
It's on pure Kwin4 Compositing -- think of it as a native version of Compiz Fusion for KDE4.  The plugins and effects definitely share a lot of similarities and it certainly helps cut down on resource use not having to load a separate composite manager on top of kwin.  Unfortunately, since the KDE4 codebase still requires more optimization (easier to do later once everything is written and running stable), KDE4+Compositing is still a bit of a resource hog.  It's no small wonder they call it the "Vista" of the Linux world.  -v-;

QuoteBTW, I finally... finally... googled Kawaii Radio. It certainly delivers what its name promises (But somehow I now want to go out and find all of SOUL'd OUT's records).

It's funny how much I liked the Gurren Lagann music it played regularly, even if I didn't realize at the time it was from Gurren Lagann (or what "Gurren Lagann" was).

Then again, also watched Ichigo 100% because of Kawaii Radio, and it sucketh. Guess you can't win it all.... ;__;

I don't even put gadgets beyond the sidebar in everyday use. Second, I don't know how much you understand gadgets, but that calendar flyout is something that appears only when you actually click on the docked gadget.

Ah, so that was only a shareware demo? I once used WindowBlinds on XP...it was fun for awhile and I was a bit bummed out when the demo was up. Afterward I thought about using the UxTheme multipatcher (which was a free modification which would allow XP to run 3rd party themes) but I thought it too risky to try out.

Now I just go with the plain old Windows Classic theme, which I like 'cause fancy themes get on my nerves quite quickly. I can't stand Luna or Royale anymore. ^^

Hey, trust me, I know full well how to be creepy. You're talking to a master among masters on the subject here.
No, I just rather clean up my desktops (dualscreen ftw.) to contain nothing but windows. I'm highly app-focused. I experimented with widgets using some Stardock apps before, but they just annoy the shit out of me. I do have a system app for monitoring my CPU/mobo fan speed/temp, and voltages, on my second monitor though. That's just for security reasons, though, since DELTA quite often goes really, really hot. ^^

I especially like your latest desktop, Xi Wang Chan! Did you draw your wallpaper picture? IIRC, it looks like your art style.

BTW, which Ubuntu variant are you using in your latest desktop, Cockleshell?

Here's my latest desktop on OSX 10.4:

It's Reisen from Touhou! I barely understand Touhou at all but I really like Reisen even though in the Touhou universe, she is one of the few sane characters -_-



And here's my desktop on Macintosh System 6.0.8:

Hehehehe! It's a smiley desktop! :) ^_^ :D  But too bad the desktop setting is not very customizable. :(

I should probably mention the reason why fluxbox is so "clean" is because it's a window manager and not a full-on desktop environment.  Unless you have a program installed to manage the icons (rox-filer, for instance), the desktop for fluxbox will, by default, not have any icons.  For an example, let's take my desktop, it's default environment is KDE, but I primarily use fluxbox because it's much more lightweight.  Now normally, Firefox (or any of my other browsers) will save to the desktop by default, leaving the screen a cluttered mess (when I haven't decided to sort the files yet), but because I use fluxbox, I hardly even notice how much crap I've downloaded until I open a file manager.  Anyway, I thought I'd provide a little explanation for those unfamiliar with fluxbox...

Oh, that's not good for me... I'll go to the "desktop" folder once in a while and have a heartattack if i'll use fluxbox... ^_^

OK, this time it is not another showoff of the gadgets just for the sake of doing so LOL There is a concept of design for the whole desktop this time.

Recently I found this Haruhi wallpaper somewhere on the Internet.

(http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa106/YokoAT/Anime%20Theme%20TEMP/th_haruhi_wall_bk01.jpg) (http://s201.photobucket.com/albums/aa106/YokoAT/Anime%20Theme%20TEMP/?action=view&current=haruhi_wall_bk01.jpg)

It's a stylish one, but the image is a bit too empty. The huge H logo in the center inspires me to turn it into something like this on my desktop...

(http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa106/YokoAT/Anime%20Theme%20TEMP/sc_temp_desktop11_full.jpg)


A static screenshot can't tell what I really did there. Check out this video  :smoke:

Impressive, although some of the color-changing effects just get nagging after a while. I know it's hard to get by, but I'd focus more on getting on animated movements if you can get something good on that front. Then again, those can be quite annoying at times, so it's gotta differ between persons...

I have deleted my video posted above. Obviously, I have posted it in a WRONG non-Anime forum elsewhere, where some people obviously can't get where the intended focus of that desktop is (i.e. the desktop animation concept), and think it is retarded, socially disordered, terrible, etc because they think there are some hand-drawn half-naked "lolis" (LMAO) on it, while they have NO problems using a full-screen half-naked (or actually naked) woman as the wallpaper (ROFL), and they hate it enough to do a rating attack on my video.

Anyways, here is a new desktop setup of mine. It's about "Persona 4".

Well, when I was looking around before I reflashed its BIOS, 75-ish seemed to be a pretty standard idle temp...

And the fact that the fan is going at 30% under that temp means it's pretty "cool biz", too.

very cool, both of you.

red, that kind of reminds me of something my bro told me once:

when he was in high school (2003 about) in his senior year, a kid in his class made a website for the school, where people could post funny quotes they had heard throughout the day. (150 character limit, sorta a precursor to twitter. and he published it too, so if he ever launched it, HE could sue TWITTER for copyright infringement. 8) )

now, my bro told me about this one time in particular that he was taking a history final with this really strict teacher (he would not allow the class to ask for pens, ect.), and he had finished the essay, short answer, the bubble sheet, ect. and was on the last leg of the test, 2 pages of multiple choice. well, his pen died. and then his pencil broke, and he didn't have his sharpener. well, he went to a technical school, so every student had a small knife. desperate to finish his test, he cut his hand, dipped his pen into it, and started finishing his test in blood. the teacher sees what he's doing, and, frantic, asks, "russell, what are you doing!?" my bro responds, "taking my test." teach: "what are you writing in!?" bro: "blood."

this was posted on the quote site, and after this, the teachers started using it too.
and you could ask for pens in that teacher's class after that. xD

It's a damn weird system for me to work with, although anything is weird when you've "grown up" using *nix command lines. If anything, the DOS command language reminds me more of the DEC ones... O.o

FAAAAAR too big.  Win 3.1 is basically a glorified DOS shell, and DOS only supports FAT16, which goes up to a maximum of 2GB.

Not really possible.  You could install DOS & 3.1, but as soon as you install Win 95, it'll upgrade DOS to v7.10 and trying to use 3.1 would be pointless.

Lookie here~!

(http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/156/7/3/OS2_on_OSX_by_BellaCielo.png)

Our resident old tech expert Red-Machine guided me through the whole OS/2 installation process, or actually, the prep for it. Formatting the virtual HD and opening up the OS/2 installation dialogue and all that. I wasn't sure that it installed properly-- it seemed to get stuck on the boot screen and I sorta gave up on it-- but after giving it another try, it turns out it just takes a looooooong time to boot up.

So yay, we did it! And I had been trying to figure out how to install it since, like, mid-December. Dx I think it was a good experience, now I have a better understanding of how older non-bootable OSes are installed, at least the Windows-ish ones (although I imagine those early Linux distros were the similar at least in principle, only with Minix or Unix being installed first instead of MSDOS).

My wallpaper changes back to this every time I restart, so I can't really change my wallpaper...

I had a nasty time installing 3D Custom Girl, seeing as it was an ISO, so I had to whip out my Virtual CD ROM Drive software for once >.>

PeaZip can't switch to japanese folders, nor can it extract to them, says the directory doesn't exist. Oh, and don't mind the Test Mode stuff there in the lower right. I had to force install a driver one day, so now it's stuck in test mode.

I don't even remember where I found that System 7 emulator, I think it was on that weird russian website I found with all sorts of system images for emulating (also where I found that OS/2 MSVPC image and the VMWare NeXTSTEP image). There's a WICKED Apple ][ emu I found, but it costs like $50 for the full version, and that's $50 I could put toward a real Apple ][ which would be way more wicked.

You must've missed that post in /topicless; I've made nice with it. For the most part. Got it connected to the internets, which was the major issue -- finally figured out to go into YaST > network services > network settings (iirc) and configure ethernet connection, which was hella easy compared to  the baroque instructions given in most of the help sites I found (most of which involved finding and entering the IP address, subnet, router, your USERNAME AND PASSWORD FROM THE ISP LOLWTF, etc).

Aside from the fact I had a couple of kernel panics (probably due to the hardware; SUSE is a pretty heavy distro, when you factor in the compositing window manager it's a wonder it runs as well as it does) and the fact that YaST is a bit prickly to work with, it's been working fine. -v-

Right now I'm at computer running Windows 7. Truth be told it feels wonderful as my previous experience with Windows was with Vista. This is not my own comp though, so I haven't personalized it much. ^^

And yes, I'm a fan of both yaoi and yuri, as well as very much into LGBTIQ topics in general.

This is my little media/work computer in my room with an extremely small screen (Better than nothing right?) which is giving me back problems due to hunching over to read on the screen. I can't wait till I get to move my nice computer up here, then with my 1400x900 screen i'll be fine and dandy!

1400x900?  I've never even heard of that res before...

1680x1050 is a minimum these days.
Title: Re: Post your desktop
Post by: MisterCat on January 09, 2011, 01:14:37 PM
Huge monitors are all well and good, if you can afford them.  My monitor screen weighs in at 1152 x 864 pixels and it suits me just fine.  Perhaps there are special circumstances which require larger sizes, but bigger is not necessarily better.  I'd avoid proclaiming a minimum size, even though such proclamations are rampant on the Web, without first determining whether or not everyone with a computing system has the ability to run out and buy the next biggest monitor size du jour.

:-\

=^..^=

P.S.:  Red-Machine, my assertions are not chiefly directed at what you wrote; but they are directed at a disturbing monitor-size elitism I've regularly encountered at (shall we say) various image boards.  Sure, who wouldn't like to have a really-big monitor?  I certainly wouldn't refuse one, were it given to me; but my economic priorities are of necessity elsewhere.

Last I checked, 1400x900 was standard for 15 inch Laptops, quite a common size.

My old Power Mac's monitor is 1280x1024 I think.

1152x864 was the res on the old crt monitor I had on ALPHA (and as secondary on DELTA after that), so it appears - just not a lot on modern screens. And resolution is inherently a lot greater per inch on laptops, as a rule - just look at LAMBDA, wielding a hefty 1920x1080 that otherwise is most commonly seen on 24" screens on her 18,4". What more, I've seen fullHD screens on laptops as small as 15,4 or 17,3 - it gets down there, but it's better not to overdo it, imo. >_>

Please click on the image to view its full size.

The actual wallpaper is here (http://flyvapnet.com/myPictures/Photography/RussiaColor01A.png).

This is a color photograph made in 1910 CE by Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky.  It's not a black-and-white photograph which has been colored after the fact:  It's a genuine color photograph.  You can see more of Prokudin-Gorsky's pioneering photography — and discover his technique — at....

The Empire That Was Russia: The Prokudin-Gorskii Photographic Record Recreated (A Library of Congress Exhibition) (http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire/)
The photographs of Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863-1944) offer a vivid portrait of a lost world--the Russian Empire on the eve of World War I and the coming revolution. His subjects ranged from the medieval churches and monasteries of old Russia, to the railroads and factories of an emerging industrial power, to the daily life and work of Russia's diverse population.

A large collection of Prokudin-Gorsky's photographs can be found at Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky - Color Photographs of Russia before the Deluge: Index 1 of 159 (http://prokudin-gorsky.ath.cx:8081/index.html).  A good summary of his life and work is located at Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Prokudin-Gorsky).

Quite a nice desk you got there! Also a nice Yamaha guitar (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure I'm right)! I love my desk, over the past 4 years its served me well and has built its character with all the chips, dings, and scratches collected over the years.

This is an older pic of it but nothing has really changed other then a stereo next to it which you wouldn't see anyway.

Here's my latest desktop wallpaper, featuring Elina (or Erina) Vance via an image from her Queen's Blade visual combat book.  I like this character because personality-wise she's akin to my other favorite anime/games/manga characters:  cute, deadly, female and outspoken.

good for you for being good in history. -w- i've always loved it m'self, but not the stuff they continually rehash (colonial times, revolution, civil war, etc). mostly the period between 1890-1950 (mainly the 1890's and 1920's) and other cultures (like japan, india, and russia, especially the february revolution).

i like the screencaps. though you might consider making either a more basic or a more polished default screen for canary. but that can be saved for later. ^^

any thoughts on what sets canary apart from other linuxes? :3

It's not "Mac OS 7" it's "Mac System 7", and there's no point in running it in Classic Mac mode, System 7 was designed for a colour monitor.  If you want black & white, emulate System 4 or something...

And for the record, my System 7 Performa 6200 is hooked up to the net.

Don't worry about it; been using it for fourteen years or there abouts now and I slip up calling it OS 7 all the time.  Well, at least since OSX came out.  Just keep that in mind for the future!  Not sure if you can connect to the internet from a virtualized system; an actual Mac would require a dial-up internet account and a modem of course (none of mine do/did).

Eee! You're too sweet Canary. ^.^

Good luck on saving up for a Mac! It's an awesome goal to have. I'm not sure what you have in mind (new or used, high performance or hobby machine), but always consider the used computer option; Macs tend age quite gracefully and can be found at reasonable prices.

I dunno why, but I don't like PCs very much. They're not very stylish imo. Kubuntu is really cool looking, I think. i test drove it earlier today.

Yes, indeed, I have it on my computer. Very cool program.
The app is a bit lacking though (compared to what the program does), so I downloaded the app you see that is "Non-Pcs". It's very substantial, even having a list of all Apple keyboard commands.
You can actually see the Mactracker icon near the bottom of the dock on my iBook from earlier :D


And since I'm on a roll today.

Linux and I have decided that pretty much all Linux-based operating systems need better wallpapers. Cool ones, like Krizo's Apple in California™ backgrounds and 7's assorted Nanami-related cuteness

Therefore, Linux and I have decided to kidnap Nanami, arm her with Lil' Slugger's baseball bat from Paranoia Agent, and begin systematically brainwashing everyone into believing that she's always been part of our clique

Some Classic Mac goodness I'm seeing here! :)

For my first semester of college, most of my papers were typed up in Mac Write 5.0 running under Macintosh System 6.0.8, which was in turn running under Mini vMac.  I had to transfer the files to OSX by opening the disk image I saved the files in to. Part of that was because Mac Write had a page count and Text Edit (OSX's word processor) doesn't (or at least not by default?), though mainly because System 6 is still great to work with. :D

@Canary: Is that System 7-tan drawing finished? :-P I like playing around with that background maker in the Control Panel.

@Bella: How did you get those widgets to be on the desktop at all times? Is that a Snow Leopard-only feature, but I can't seem to find it.

That is so awesome that you used Mac Write and System 6 to write your papers, Aurora. ^^

I wish I could acquire System 6 images/get it running in Mini vMac... how I can get 50-year-old big iron emulator going and can't make sense of Mini vMac will forever baffle me. -.-

As for widgets on your desktop:
1) Make sure your account has admin privileges
2) Copy/paste this into your Terminal:

Quotedefaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES

3) Open up Dashboard, click and hold down on a widget, then close Dashboard. The widget will appear on your desktop.

This is the desktop on what was my main PC for about 6 months last year; taken toward the end of it's life. It's CPU fan was already a bit worn out when I bought it, and my mom refusing to turn on the air conditioner for the first month of summer didn't help it at all; as it died in early July. I pulled it out of service before the processor could burn up, but sadly, the type of fan I need (One with an obscure plug that only Dell used) is no longer produced, and using a large box fan (Like what you'd use to cool a garage) to cool it is too noisy for regular use, so this PC is officially dead.

This is the desktop on my classic gaming PC. I stumbled onto some VRAM on an old video card I don't use anymore, so I was able to upgrade the card I currently have in it to support higher resolutions with greater color depth (It's nice having it running at 1024x768 in High Color mode, like most of the other desktops in my fleet)

This is what the desktop on my experimental desktop looks like at the moment. If you're wondering why Windows 95 is looking so weird in this picture, that's because it's a prototype version from '94 (Microsoft Chicago build 189, to be exact).

It runs pretty well if you strictly use Windows 3.x software with it; it does try to run software designed for the retail version of Windows 95, although it rarely works right from what I've seen so far. It does run better than build 58s, but since this is from later into development, that's to be expected (Also, 58s is a bit weird interface wise. I'll dig up a picture and show it here later).

Yeah. Some believe that Microsoft never even made a prototype of it before that project and Neptune merged to form Whistler, and ultimately, Windows XP.

Also, while on the subject of prototype versions of Windows, here's what Chicago build 58s (The earliest known functional prototype of Windows 95) looks like:

(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/Winchicagodesktop.png)

This version looks and feels like some hybrid of 3.11 and 95; having features of both blended into what's best described as Microsoft Chop Suey. Also, being such an early build, it can only handle software designed for 3.x; the stuff actually for Windows 95 is out of it's league (Typically ending in a BSOD of epic proportions).

It's the Start bar; although it works a bit differently than in other versions.

As for the wallpaper, that's actually what it's set to by default on this version; in fact, it displays a message saying "This prerelease version of Windows is under construction" after it boots

This isn't really a picture of my desktop, but of a silly text mod I did to one dialog box in Windows 2000 a few years back; shortly after downloading Resource Hacker. Well, not really a full-on mod of the Safe Mode dialog box, but an extra line added onto the end:

cool, dude. did you get that in the gallery?
Title: Re: Post your desktop
Post by: Nichi on June 01, 2011, 08:42:25 PM
Yep. That's where almost all of my OS-tan wallpapers originated from, with the exception of this one (http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/desktop_pc9_main.png); I don't remember where I found it, but it's not in the gallery

If I knew how to upload to the gallery, I'd gladly add the original file
Title: Re: Post your desktop
Post by: Chocofreak13 on June 01, 2011, 09:55:42 PM
go to the gallery, at the top there should be an "upload" option :\
and if not, just link the file here and i'll upload it eventually.
Title: Re: Post your desktop
Post by: Nichi on June 01, 2011, 10:15:10 PM
I just uploaded it...only to see somebody else already uploaded it before me (A user I don't recognize the name of, and about 2 weeks ago at that). Don't you hate it when that happens?

Anyway, this is what the desktop for 2k-on-2k Mode looks like when I'm not running it in Seamless mode; which is typically right after I start it (So no fancy wallpaper, but a cool background pattern at least)

I have one on this computer from the gallery, the one of Mac Tan with sunglasses. The rest are mine.

Though my iBook, the Powerbook and the Mac Mini have lightly edited pictures from the gallery as theirs because I do not have any art of Snow Leopard, Sonata or Tiger that personally belongs to me.

call me spoiled, but 1980x1080 is too small for me.

Don't take god's name in vain.... there will be no magical girl yuri heaven for you if you blaspheme...

Also: there can never be enough Madoka. For Madoka has dead-eyed weaseloid alien overlords, NGE-Tier mindfsckage/genre deconstruction, yuri love at its most beautiful and pure, and yakuza-pwning time-traveling magical girls with automatic weapons/hand grenades/rocket launchers/F-16s (okay, I lied about the last one on that list).

I don't see why hearing people rave about a certain anime bothers you so much... when I hear my friends freaking out about a show, that's usually my indication that 1) They've found gold 2) I should check it out.

I'd have never considered watching Madoka Magica if Stewart hadn't mentioned it to me; Nej inspired me to check out Star Driver; and hearing you and Aurora say good things about PSG has made me want to give that a watch, too, even though it's something I normally wouldn't be interested in. ^^'

Actually, Britain lost to Napoleon during the Napoleonic Wars and he took over the island of Great Britain.  The government pulled back all its forces to the American Colonies and rebuilt.  So it's still Britain, just not IN Britain.

Not an anime, just a depiction of the first Chinese pilot to test the Chengdu J-20, the PLAAF's newest fifth generation stealth aircraft

The pilot is Li Gang
This is mocking the USAF (United States Air Force) that China created a stealth aircraft that really isn't a stealth aircraft...its just a redesign of America's F-22 and the Russian PAK FA (T-50) mucked together! I'm using because I like the feel of it and I'm not a large supporter of the US military (-.-);

Perhaps I should have worded it differently.  I maent I was not having a go at him specifically, just the general populace who do that.

And at any rate, a shortcut to My Computer is not needed.  Windows will either put one there by default, or you can open the start menu, righ-click My Computer, then click "show on desktop".  By default, it will just be called "My Computer"/"Computer" depending on your OS version, so no renaming is needed.

Benevolent rule?  We may have wiped out or nearly wiped out dozens of distinct cultures but we never did it in a way expressly designed to deny them access to their religion's heaven.  I'm not saying America's better, I'm saying get the fuck down off your high horse Great Britain; because as much as I love the empire don't dare postulate that it has treated it's colonies' populations any better much less benevolently.

Great Britain: Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, and their dependent territories?  Yes, that's what I mean.

Yes.  They have.  The British Empire is no different, and slightly worse thanks to sheer scale.  But this is horribly off topic.

Thanks, I made it. ^^

As for your questions:

-For changing out system icons, I use a program called LiteIcon

http://www.freemacsoft.net/LiteIcon/

You just install it, and drag 'n drop the custom icons you want to use into it. Then you have to click the "clear system cache" button and restart Finder (and in the rare cases that doesn't work, a reboot will make things work).

-Getting the Dashboard widgets onto the desktop is simple too, the instructions are here

http://www.askdavetaylor.com/dashboard_widgets_on_my_mac_os_x_desktop.html
Title: Re: Post your desktop
Post by: Nichi on July 08, 2011, 10:39:06 PM
I couldn't get LiteIcon to work (The DMG was apparently corrupt), although being able to move widgets between the desktop and dashboard is quite useful

Also, because I felt like it, I decided to switch the wallpaper on Asagi to something that makes me think...with Portals:
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/desktop_pc7_6.png)

Then, there's my wallpaper I have set on Windows 2000 in Virtualbox, on my Mac Mini:

Post by: Dr. Kraus on July 15, 2011, 02:47:06 PM
Wilhelm Germany looks strong and marching toward a stronger future (sadly that didn't happen)
Nazi Germany looks strong but dim witted (Germans didn't really think during 1939-1945 about what was wrong with the government)
Communist East Germany looks to be very serious and harsh (The East German's had it bad when the Soviets had them, no color on the buildings makes that part of Berlin look very sad...)
West Germany seems to be worried or un-easy (probably because Communism is so close to them)
Title: Re: Post your desktop
Post by: stewartsage on July 15, 2011, 05:14:04 PM
I'd say its more that Nazi Germany feels uncertain but is being lead along the path to the future by her failed sister, in turn she leads the hesitant DDR in an oversized uniform along behind while she ignores her big sis and points towards the viewer.  In turn, West Germany has completely broken hands with her sisters and while her uniform doesn't fit either she's at least got the proper bearing plus she has turned completely away from the totalitarian path.

To re-install Lion (for whatever reason), hold the Option Key on startup and chose to boot from the recovery partition Lion has built in. It will then re-download the OS.

If the entire HD is dead, Apple should be replacing it.

Lion can be installed on blank Hardrives though.
If you must... download Lion on one Mac, then go to the app and show package contents, there's a DMG in there. I'm betting you know what to do from that point on.

Yea, there have been instances where people need their Macintosh up and running FAST like this one French film guy I got to work with at the Pittsburgh Film Office. His Macbook got messed up but he couldn't get Apple to fix it for him due to being here in the US and his Macbook from France, my dad and I fixed the problem fast (even though we don't know French) because we knew the interface so well and we had hard disks on hand at the time.

i like the pic somewhat, but i've always found that incarnation of vista to be overly slutty. :\ (perky tits? really?? =__=;; )

The ample breasts don't bother me as much as the anorexic-looking body. (Seriously, RIB LINES?) I'd like to see a version of this Vistan with a smaller bust and curvier body.

if it's any consolation, chivistan isn't featured in my comic. but if you really wanna see one like that, you or i could draw it. :3

On closer inspection: I think this is my favorite Vistan design

(http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/albums/userpics/11639/normal_vistahome.png)

She's physically similar enough to Chivistan to be considered the same character, but without the ridiculously huge bust and trashy outfit. And her sister is really cute too.... ^^

You know, Vista is the only version of Windows that I don't have a copy of lying around. I may not care much for that version, but there's a noticeable lack of it; seeing as I have access to every other version

the computer downstairs is vista, meaning that once i get the fleet up and running, i'll have every version from 95-present :3

@bella: i've seen so many versions of vista......at this point, i consider them to match up to:

chivistan - vista home
vistake - vista business
visbou - vista ultimate
egysta - vista enterprise

Homu is one of my heroes...

She can dual-wield a gun and a grenade without getting blown up or shooting herself.

And she sort of looks like Claes from GSG, which means she in turn sort of looks like Unix-sama too.

Fair enough.

And i should note - since I forgot before - the yuri contained within Mahou Shoujo☆Madoka Magica is not your garden variety girl on girl fanservice, a la Half The Animu Out There That Supposedly Contain Lesbian Elements. It is a beautiful love borne of yearning; basically, yuri at its finest.

Fuuka no longer has a widescreen monitor, but she's still in use with a surprisingly decent LCD monitor I picked up for next-to-nothing. Besides, I have wallpapers that will work; such as this one of my 2nd favorite OS-tan
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/desktop_mac2_4.png)

As for Asagi, I went with a Touhou wallpaper. I don't know the character's name, though; just that she's from Touhou

(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/desktop_pc9_6.png)

For Fuuka, since the theme of "Vistan variant = version of Windows 7" would be broken because of OS X, I use one of my favorite character from Hyperdimension Neptunia; IF

So, since I decided to experiment around with the version of Windows that I though was an urban legend (98 First Edition), I decided to take a few pictures of it to show off:

The plain desktop, after a fresh installation
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/Windows98FirstEdition.png)

For comparison, 98SE after a fresh install (Which is what I always see around here)
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/Windows98SecondEdition.png)

Also, 98FE's really obscure 2-color monochrome mode; which makes it feel older than Windows 1.0
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/Windows98FirstEditionMonochrome.png)

For contrast with the above, the Yeti's current setup with 98SE (So many colors...)

Although my Vista box is not setup yet, I figured I'd share the desktops of the boxes setup on 2k-tan the Desktop right now.

First off, Windows 2000; which I have lovingly named this box "2k-on-2k Mode". This is the one I use most often
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/desktop_vbox_2k.png)

Next up is Fedora 16, with the XFCE shell. I wish it could go widescreen, but I first have to remember what my root password it ^_^;;
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/desktop_vbox_fedora.png)

Then, there's Windows NT 4.0, which runs nicely
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/desktop_vbox_nt4.png)

Last but not least, Windows XP. There's an army of XP-tan O_O

Am I the only one with the weird wish that I could body-surf across that army of XP-tans? .__.;


IT'S COLOSSAL CAVE ADVENTURE-TIME!!!
(http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/8990/screenshot20111209at206.png)

Thanks to the Internet Archive, I found this fantastic emulated PDP-10 system running TOPS-10 with Colossal Cave Adventure (perhaps the first and greatest text-based adventure game ever) installed. This game is also very nostalgic for me - it was the first game I played the first time I interacted with an antique computer via telnet (the Wofford Witch, a public access PDP-8 system).

So, yeah, Adventure running on TOPS-10 running on the SIMH PDP-10 emulator running on Vista running on Snow Leopard (in seamless mode)...

256MB seems to be as low as it can go before it BSODs at start up. However, it's not really useful unless you have at least 512MB (It really takes off at 1GB+)

Since I finally got it to work, here's a picture showing off Windows NT 5.0 (Build 1515) side-by-side with the finished version (Windows 2000 <3)
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/nt50and2000.png)
Note the "Show Desktop" icon on the taskbar in NT 5.0; located in the exact same spot as it is on Windows 7

This is what Windows Explorer looks like. Different than what we're used to out of 2k:
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/explorerinnt5.png)

Speaking of 2000, if you try to upgrade directly to it from NT 5.0, it pops up this error:
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/noupgradefromnt5to2000.png)
Same thing if you try to upgrade to Whistler. XP's installer will not start, Vista's installers spews out errors, and Neptune doesn't care what you're running currently; she's ready to install.

Here are pictures from build 1877 of NT 5.0. First, the boot screen, which is actually impressive enough to show off (Previous builds used the plain text style from NT 4.0):
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/nt5bootscreenbuild1877.png)

The setup screen, which feels a lot more like the final version of 2000:
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/nt5setup.png)

Desktop, after 1st boot:
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/nt5desktop.png)

Explorer, which has finally taken on a more Windows 2000 look with it's graphics (The previous beta I used reused the version from Windows 98 (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d2/Windows_Explorer_98_Second_Edition.png)):
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/nt5-explorer.png)

Firefox 2 is running, and I somehow managed to get to OSC with it:
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/nt5-osconfirefox2.png)

For further pictures from my adventure into OSC on NT 5, such as the picture of Bella's DEC computer in glorious 16 colors, look here (http://photobucket.com/osc-on-nt5). Be sure to read the descriptions for each pic :3

Now to wrap this up in the most fitting way possible; the shutdown screen:

Lastly, Fuuka; who goes off and does her own thing, as always (The girl in the pic is Pleinair, from Digaea)

But it is NOT a viking.

More like a teuton knight or something. Vikings didn't use cavalry, because of the simple reason that horses aren't exactly easy to load onto galleys...

2k has the Ratman, from Portal

Asagi has ME-tan >w<

Nimue has the cast of Ben-To :3
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/desktop_pc12_2.png)

Lastly, a wallpaper from Windows 3.1 that I tested out on Nimue; before going with the Ben-To wallpaper

So, I finally have full color pictures of Windows NT 5 build 1515 (For those who may have lost track, it's an early alpha of Windows 2000); by way of the same drivers that allowed me to run NT 3.51 in full color (Which are compatible with every NT-based version of Windows, all the way up to 7. Quite nice)

First off, the logo:
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/NT5Alphalogo.png)

Second up, login screen:
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/nt5build1515-infullcolor.png)

Now, the desktop:
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/ntbuild1515-desktop.png)

Lastly, the really cool Explorer setup
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/nt5build1515-explorer.png)

Next time, I'll have some color pics of other builds of Windows 2000...aside from the final version, of course; we all know what that looks like :3
Title: Re: Post your desktop
Post by: Nichi on July 17, 2012, 03:30:59 PM
Taking a short break from NT 5 (I don't have that many more pics to show), I decided to show off Windows 2000...in Japanese!

First off, initial boot (Before the splash screen. Left is English, right is Japanese):
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/windows2000boot-english.png)(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/windows2000boot-japanese.png)
I actually kind of like the way the Japanese boot looks; reminding me of the failsafe version of Fedora's boot screen (Which I often see on Virtualbox and older desktops)

Now, the desktop:
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/desktop_win2k-jpn.png)
I sadly was unable to obtain a Japanese edition of Firefox 12 (The last version that would run on Windows 2000), so I went with the English release I had on hand; which works perfectly fine. In a way, it's a little surreal; I don't know how to read Japanese, yet I've used Windows 2000 so much that I generally know what I'm doing even if I can't read what it says ^_^;

Well, the last two wallpapers I found on http://applewallpapers.net
The characters were specifically drawn by my New York Graphics artist, for my Computers, to be backgroundable...
(they weren't on the wallpapers before I put them there)
backgroundable...

Now I can background in peace.

Here I thought this was just a website of people I knew. Not like twitter or something where 10,000 people I don't know will look at it and download it.

Regardless, deleted and I won't.

Post by: Bella on August 30, 2012, 12:31:39 PM
I didn't want to freak you out with that. -__- It's just a (rather major) pet peeve of mine seeing people try to somehow horde/keep secret information online, especially if it's in any public forum (be it a very small one like OSC, or a large one like DeviantArt or Pixiv). In reality, the only way to keep art "safe" would be to download it directly from the artist, never show it to another soul and then have the artist delete their copy - though depending on the artist in question, I imagine this could backfire rather badly. (I know if somebody asked me to do such a thing, I'd laugh heartily and proceed to publicize the image far and wide through the internet under the most liberal CC license I could find.)

Then again, I'm more-or-less an Internet socialist (if not communist), so I take an extremely liberal stance on these matters.

Anyway, back onto topic~

New wall on Cynthia! Just upgraded to a 3.5 kernel, current desktop environment is LXDM/LXDE (too lazy to compile dwm at the moment and LXDE's actually quite fast).
Went with something a little more colourful this time ^^

Having just customized my LXDE I can say that it all works very smooth now. Still can't beat the efficiency of a tiling WM IMO, but the good GTK / Openbox integration and the very pleasant speed have really made me like it. I was skeptical at first, because out of the box it looks more than slightly fugly to my eyes :)

Since reformatting Fuuka and Sonata, I now have the Macs of my fleet in uniform at the moment (Using an OS9-tan wallpaper I uploaded (http://ostan-collections.net/imeeji/displayimage.php?pos=-10537), although shrunk down for Sonata and Sara):

Fuuka (Snow Leopard):

Sara (Leopard):

I'd like to use wallpapers of the namesakes of the other Macs (Since the only one that lines up is Sonata), but finding a wallpaper of Fuuka is hard, while one of Apple III-tan is even harder :\

So, wallpaper time for everybody else:

2k goes with a Persona 3 theme (Made better by her P3 themed Rainmeter in the upper right corner)
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/desktop_pc9_17.png)

Also, 2k's new login screen (I couldn't figure out how to take a screenshot of it, so I instead took a pic of my screen with my camera)
(http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x283/The_Real_PentiumMMX/Desktops/100_6487.jpg)
(I made that in about 10 minutes in PSP4. It's now in the gallery, if somebody wants it as their wallpaper)

Asagi, though, tries something new; with one of the Hyperdimension Neptunis wallpapers I haven't used yet. Also, pink interface

My only complaint is my x401A uses a single contact spacebar so if i press it on its sides (like im used to) it doesnt insert a space, so i have to go back and add one. But im getting used to it already, and will probably have this spacebar down by next month. c:

though the "theme" thing i meant was with the clock; i just added it last night and i realized as i took the screencap that it kinda matched the background.

i love rainmeter, but since i have 7 i don't really need it. that's a sidebar gadget called VistaFace. (the Yuki skin isn't bundled with it; come on skype tomorrow and i'll give it to you along with the other extras and vistaface itself (if you want).

most of the desktop icons I have should be gone but I haven't restarted and they haven't gone away because of that.
I only keep Vocaloid3 and those folders on the desktop because I don't feel like digging around in the start menu for these things.

I spent a while on it, so thanks.
It's windows 8.1 with the win 8 logo replaced with an Apple, start bar at the top at highest transparency and rocket dock with uh, some theme I can't remember. It's not an icon theme, I replaced the icons manually.
I actually wanted to mod the start bar to look more like a Mac menu bar but got lazy.

When I showed my friends they were like, "that's not what we meant by trying windows 8.1".

I like your dock by the way.

@leaf: if you want a real party, read late 08-09. most of the people here were on-site by that point. -w-
also, what is that background from? it looks so familiar but i can't tell if it's EVA, Pokemon or Digimon. :\


i've added another 2 gadgets and need to install rainmeter, but i love this background, so here's a rough draft of Loly Ver. 3:

everything on this desktop is a rainmeter skin. i have more than just what's pictured, actually if you go back a few pages you can see my Compa rainmeter skin (pink haired girl) and my Deidara/Sasori rainmeter skin (pair of ninja), and i have even more than that. if you want any of them to pimp out your desktop, let me know~
(also, when you click on the sleeping Yui, she wakes up, says "Welcome Home, Papa!" in japanese and opens a search bar connected to your choice of browser, it's very moe. -w- )

Unexpectedly, I made the leap to Asagi III; since the AC for the second one broke (Although I plan to eventually replace that bit and use II as a backup)

Someone came into my store to recycle an old gateway that had everything I was looking for to build a WinXP machine.
Fought with the XP installer for a little before tweaking the bios to make it work with my hdd.
Everything is running 100% without issue and the system is just as snappy as my i5 machine to be honest, granted if I attempted to push the system with anything past 2008 software than I'm not in for a good time.

Title: Re: Post your desktop
Post by: Bella on May 01, 2019, 09:30:49 AM
Speaking personally - I ran Linux on my main computer for maybe a year or so back in 2009. Windows XP sucked (this is the truth and I'm not sorry to say it) and I couldn't afford a Mac yet, so Linux was the best choice with regards to stability and security. I also didn't game, or make art on proprietary software, so I wasn't losing out on anything there.

10 years have passed and a lot has changed. I've moved from Linux to Mac to Windows as my needs have adapted. I've never had a single issue with Windows 10 - so I'm sticking with it. I like the driver support, and the game support, and the ease of use. I code and work/fight with Linux servers all day by profession, at the end of my workday I just want to relax, unwind with my games or some painting in Photoshop, and let my computer take care of itself. Windows lets me do that. Mac and Linux currently do not.

That said, Linux is a peerless server OS and I wouldn't run anything else on my webserver. I also really like Mac as a dev environment and would choose it over Linux or Windows. Different tools for different jobs.

I've run Linux from lack of choice and experimentation purposes.  Never really had any interest in making it permanent though.

No major changes.  Same laptop (with a new frame after the old one shattered a vital area), same OS.  AIM has gone the way of the dinosaurs and most of my IRC friends have migrated to Discord.  Also a new HD and fan.
Title: Re: Post your desktop
Post by: Goujer on May 03, 2019, 06:40:10 AM
I often find Linux takes far longer to get setup with a piece of software than Windows does. As Bella somewhat mentioned needs and tools usually line up to what works the best for the time put in. I personally don't like Windows 10 so I'm definitely going to give Linux a try as a main driver eventually. Setting up Photoshop for example, is a chore or setting up Wine, getting the right configurations and testing frequently to make it stable so you can actually do the work you want to on it. Doing this can be kind of fun but I don't have hours to waste on that stuff.
For example I was in a game development club one semester and we had to use Godot because it was the only engine tools one of the captains could get running on his Arch Linux machine. Often he was more busy setting something up to make things work better with Godot than working on the project. We all suffered to because Godot was very early then and had little documentation not to mention that it didn't have a working compiler on Windows, Linux or MacOS.

Easy installation is awesome, but doesn't really help if the thing holding someone back is, for instance, running games or programs that don't have Linux support or run well on emulators. It also doesn't help for day-to-day usability.

just simple stuff, used OpenShell for this. I'm also currently running a custom version of Windows, called atlasOS (https://atlasos.net/), designed for more privacy and storage.

Back in Feb 26 (and god, just.... that was soooo long ago! back then, my city was still in lockdown!, and I haven't got my 2nd vaccine dose yet, I think?), I decided to customize my Gentoo setup. I had been using it for ~1 month or so, if I remember correctly. I also got a MATE build, but it was long lost, because my external HDD got all of its data deleted for some reason, so the screenshots are lost to time (I also accidentally deleted all of my data when I first installed Gentoo, because I wrongly believed that I can use a script for that.)

Just a month-or-so before that Gentoo setup, I made that setup above. I aimed for a cozy, fantasy-looking style, with all the warm colors and transparency stuff out, I even threw in some custom effects and stuff into the build.

Back in Nov 26th last year, I made this as a way to celebrate my successful installation of Arch Linux into my laptop. It was the first setup I ever made, though I took quite a lot of stuff from guides. The neofetch image was custom-made, but looking back at it now, I think I can do something better...

fast forward to a somewhat-recent date, in Aug 12th, I successfully made a Hackintosh.

And god, the macOS experience was lovely, to say the least. The animations were smooth, and their UI was very consistent, something I don't see in both my past Linux setups, and Windows.

fucking that above, people. I decided to one-up my past self, and I was going to color the whole thing, when I accidentally deleted my macOS setup.... :'( . That's why I'm not going to reinstall macOS again, until when macOS Ventura comes out, which will have its release date set in October.

Hackintoshing is always the best thing ever, 2nd only to installing Gentoo with openrc + no genkernel (manually choosing the kernel options for installation).

To each their own; I don't personally have the patience or brain space necessary to pull that off. .w.

Your screenshots aren't loading in situ, and load excruciatingly slowly when I open them directly; I'm guessing this is an issue with the image host.

Hanyway, here's my desktop right now. The wallpaper is a fittingly-autumnal image from Unsplash.

Nice wallpaper! I'm curious if you know its source, so we can add it to the gallery.

I love the look of Windows 8.1's Taskbar while I hate Windows 10's Taskbar cause it looks too flat, minimalistic, ugly, and lazy and straight up despise Windows 11's as it not only replaces the older version of the Taskbar that has been there since Windows 7 or earlier but it makes the taskbar not only uglier but makes it more useless so I installed startisback on my Windows 10 and restored the Windows 8.1 look on the Taskbar to make the opened tabs of programs on the taskbar look less fucking flat and ugly and more aero and skeuomorphic.

VMs are a lot of fun, but I tend not to find them that useful unless it's a very specific system that I have software for that works on nothing else, or it completely messes up my C: drive installing it, lol.

MacOS always fights me about running the software I want to run and most of Apple's development options are locked behind pay walls.

Windows 10 lasts until 2025, so Microsoft has until then to make Windows 11 not suck, or maybe I'll give ReactOS a try if it gets alright by the then.
Otherwise it's gonna be a hard switch to Mint or some other easy to use all in one Linux for me.
