Just for Fun: Post Your Desktop!
 
A person's desktop can say alot about them. Their choice of wallpaper, how they organise their icons, and all sorts of other little tidbits: sometimes I go back to find something 'important' and realise I was IMing someone I haven't spoken with for a year. Just a snapshot in time, press "Print Screen" on your computer desktop and then paste it into any image program, save it, upload it, you know the drill... I'll get started since this is my thread:

I just use the default wallpapers... :XD
And I use the Start Menu for finding programs, so my icons are all .... in a jumble. A lined jumble.

Ikuto Akihiko: I can see you're listening to alot of Dir En Grey (I really hope my eyesight is that good and I'm not messing that up.) My iTunes happens to be playing various Doctor Who themes. :)

My desktop is really boring, see? :sweat:

It's basically some default Minecraft background I found.
Also, the image quality of that is terrible...

@Ikuto: STEALTH HIPPO! STEALTH HIPPO!

This thread would probably be better off in the Computer forums and I think there's even a thread about this there already iirc.

As for my desktop, I have my computer set to randomly choose a background out of a huge collection of wallpapers every 30 seconds.

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 07-18-2011 02:05 PM

@Crow: Haha yeah. There's quite a few on that playlist. :yes:

@Zea: Looks quaint~
Hippo?! Whurr? Is it where I think it is... > x>;

@Ark: Ooh, I think you're right~
My wallpaper switches also, but still with the default backgrounds that came with the computer. :XD

I'd like to be lazy please and not post a picture... but I'll tell you about it! *Minimizes window to see background* Oh yeah. Well my computer went through some serious viruses and blah blah blah, now it runs pretty slow and crappily. Everytime I try to get into my screen saver/wallpaper page etc. it takes at least ten minutes before freezing my computer entirely. So my background is one of the ones the computer came with, a green meadow with blue skies. I really like it, but usually my backgrounds are of the ocean or beach. It hasn't been since high school that I uploaded a picture of something else. It's a shared computer with my family, so it's just simpler this way!

My background pays respects to my first favorite philosopher, Hobbes!

I don't use a lot of the icons on my desktop, I'm just too lazy to delete them.
I also hid my sticky note which just lists stuff I need to do and jobs I'm going to apply to.

The hippo is the rock in what looks to be the direct center of the bottom of the screen! 8D

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 07-19-2011 03:27 AM

@Van: Such a pretty background.

@Est: Hey I have that background. Or at least... it looks familiar. :lol:

@Zea: Okay. Haha, that's what I thought, but when I zoomed in, it looked less like a hippo. :P

voenne 07-19-2011 04:08 AM

Mine's the most boring of them all. Yay. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...ar/desktop.jpg

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 07-19-2011 04:42 AM

Awww. "I've" never been someone's background before. :lol:

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 07-19-2011 05:07 AM

And I see poor Aion. -pats it-

Elluh 07-19-2011 05:09 AM

lmao.

I know D:
It makes me sawd. : (
I'm going to add a mushroom
corner to my desktop and adjust
aion on there..

Ikuto Akihiko Hasegawa 07-19-2011 05:17 AM

Lmao, do it!
I need to add more wallpapers to my folder...

The_Crow 07-19-2011 11:21 AM

I find it amusing what I can tell from people's desktops. For example, it's obvious I am in a major Doctor Who kick between my desktop image and my Menewsha cosplay. It also appears that my iTunes is out of date and I prefer the 'old school' look of windows despite the fact I'm running 7 ultimate.

It seems like that everyone who has posted a screen shot so far is using one flavour of Windows or another.

I found it funny to spy on what Ikuto Akihiko was listening to at the moment.

zeapear plays, and potentially makes alot of games. The company that I worked for, for numerous years, used Game Maker 5/6 depending on the class for the computer game design classes for ages 10 and up. Isn't Mabongi another Nexon game? I used to play Maplestory until one of the recent patches during the anniversary of all things made it completely incompatible with Windows 7. It was unofficially incompatible before but I still ran it anyway, but now even if I try to run it in XP Pro compatibiity mode it craps out on me. Boo. -shaky fist-. Hmm. -evil grin- Ever heard of Dwarf Fortress? :twisted:

I think Sir D . L O Van Lobsters's desktop is clean and peaceful... more like a screen saver, if it wasn't for the task bar. I could fall asleep staring at that.

Estrella wins the colourful award. Are you sure you don't want us peeking at your resume? ;)

voenne's wallpaper makes me think I'm in someone's guest bathroom x_X

Elluh- That fan art is adorable. I can see how that can make you smile every time you see your desktop!

Liztress 07-19-2011 06:29 PM

Here's my current desktop. I used to have the constantly changing one but it distracted me. :lol:

My current insane obsession :3 I actually have sticky notes lined up on the right side but since a couple of them are a bit private, I minimized them. :3

Why yes, I have heard of Dwarf Fortress ;D
I've played both one and two! 8D
But, in response to the rest of your evaluation, I'm going to say that you're partially right ^^ In stark contrast to what my desktop would tell you (he's a sly one, he is. Very misleading. :yes:) I haven't made a game since I was ten, probably xD And that was with RPG maker. I do play quite a few games, though~ A lot of the ones of my desktop have been sitting there for years, unused and gathering dust (I hardly ever delete my desktop shortcuts), but a few (namely Minecraft, Steam, The Sims 3/Medieval and SPORE) are opened regularly... Enough. :ninja:
A lot of the things on my desktop have also never been used, like Game Maker for example xD I tried it once, but couldn't figure out within five minutes and so I stopped >____>;
I also have no idea what half of the thingies are, and are only there so my Dad can use my computer and whatever, and they're mostly security things (I think).

-x-

Looking back, there is no point to this post...
