Not the actual top of your desk, but your computer screen desktop D

there have been other threads like this (pics of your workstation, entertainment centre etc).

if you dont know how to, just push the button "prt scr" on your keyboard, then open up an image editing program (paint shop pro, photoshop, microsoft paint etc) and click on new ( you can make it any size, doesnt matter), then Edit, then Paste.....then save it as a JPEG and upload it to imageshack or photobucket or another site like that.

here is mine

Stardock is full of spyware. I used to use it to customize my comp to the max, until one day it ran so slow I could barely open programs. Ran a spyware hunter and found /tons/ of stuff.

theysayjump

17-06-2005 09:40:36

nah ive had no adware at all. if you use windowblinds, you can just click on "unload windowblinds" and it will take the theme off and leave you with the default theme on your system.

if you just wanna switch from one to the other, you just scroll to the right (or left), select the one you want, click apply theem, and then about 10 seconds later its applied.

the only shit thing about wondowblinds is that it needs to be running for your theme to show up, unlike StyleXP, which applies it, but doesnt have to be running at the same time.

THen there's a whole bunch of other stuff you need to know about changing the icons, which is easy

Um, I'm not sure. That wasn't the first desktop set up I did. I've been doing it for a while. Now if I want to change all I have to do is pick a new theme and a new desktop. Changing the icons yourself takes a long time if you don't just use a shellpack.

Dual 15" lcds. Third LCD was turned off at the time (only turn it on when I'm on the comp from my bed, since its wall-mounted next to it), if it were on the pic wouldve spanned 1 more screen. That Rave-MP removable drive is an mp3 player. Did the modifications with Style-XP, UltraMon, Logon Loader, and TClock for my clock ;)
