Screenshots, whee! In-game, desktop, you name it. Remember to keep the size down (600x600), and just link to a bigger one.

My stab at it - from my laptop:

zmeiat_joro · « **Reply #1 on:** 07 Feb 2006, 12:27 »

It look somewhat like mine, except for the lack of chaos.

Switchblade · « **Reply #2 on:** 07 Feb 2006, 15:45 »

This here would be both a game screenshot and my present desktop background.

Not bad, huh?

Vlishgnath · « **Reply #3 on:** 07 Feb 2006, 16:58 »

Is that from EVE?

McTaggart · « **Reply #4 on:** 07 Feb 2006, 18:48 »

Yes, it is.

My current desktop:

the little bar at the top hides itself to free up more real estate.

Stifled Dreams · « **Reply #5 on:** 07 Feb 2006, 19:18 »

My desktop is the opposite of yours, McTaggart. Dark and horribly messy.

jhocking · « **Reply #6 on:** 07 Feb 2006, 19:40 »

I already posted screenshots of what I'm working on right now, so I'll just link to that thread:

Doing the whole screenshot thing made me realise just how long I've had that image as my background. So I changed it; here's something a little more busy.

Very cluttered. Some stuff from work (including my regionalized genre defintions for France... FRANCE), some other random junk, Daft Punk.

How do you get the quick launch bar up the top? I could seriously use that.

Jenno, make sure that the toolbars aren't looked, and drag it on up. Voila.

i'm rather proud of making my own background ^.^ also, digital post-it notes are way better than real ones- cheaper, more earth-friendly, don't loose stickum..

Narr · « **Reply #22 on:** 13 Feb 2006, 20:27 »

Here's mine.

Well, the image at least. I don't have a single desktop icon except for the recycle bin, though, so the image itself is good enough.

I took the picture myself (elsewhere in my photobucket account, I have a smaller version of the original photo) one day when it was really foggy and caught the sun just right to give a burst of light behind this tree. I'm not really used to fog, so I had to get a picture or two.

Jenno · « **Reply #23 on:** 14 Feb 2006, 03:32 »

FYI, You can turn off the recycle bin with TweakUI.

nihilist · « **Reply #24 on:** 14 Feb 2006, 04:41 »

Can also just hit delete...

Jenno · « **Reply #25 on:** 14 Feb 2006, 05:38 »

Really? That doesn't work for me. Weird :-/

nihilist · « **Reply #26 on:** 14 Feb 2006, 06:39 »

Can also right-click on it, should be a delete option.

Could also be that you have to turn on the classic desktop for that stuff to work again. I don't like the XP style. So much rounded wasted space! Must... maximize... useable area!

Mnementh · « **Reply #27 on:** 14 Feb 2006, 07:20 »

If there is one thing I cannot stand, it's space wasted on useless rounded bits.

Behold firefox: no space left unutilised

What about all the rounded tab corners?

the funny thing is, in my PC, I always tried to maximised the window as possible to full screen

but when it come to OS X - I simply don't care for some reason whatsoever, which is strange.[/i]

McTaggart, that's pretty sweet. Mine is pretty close, except that I have the links bar out, because I'm a lazy turd and want my webcomic fix RIGHT AWAY. Hurr.

Inlander · « **Reply #34 on:** 16 Feb 2006, 00:00 »

This is my current desktop. I shut the blind in my room so that the afternoon sun didn't blind me; my cat decided he wanted to sit on the windowsill in the sun; I took a photo:

Hmm . . . There's a few things I need to delete on that thar desktop.

The observant -- and initiated

-- will notice the Gentoo doing its thing (compiling), the Seamonkey Suite (I love unofficial ebuilds), and the UDE window manager. I don't particularly like desktop icons cluttering my workspace.

jariku · « **Reply #36 on:** 23 Feb 2006, 03:23 »

Hooray for Gentoo. I stopped hating compiling stuff when I stumbled upon the wonder that is ebuilds.

I'm thinking of migrating to LFS after my recital is done. Portage/emerge... nice and all, but I still want to move to more of a ./configure&&make&&make install sort of environment.

On the other hand, I feel a touch guilty for having to use my old debian xorg.conf...

nihilist · « **Reply #39 on:** 23 Feb 2006, 16:38 »

LFS isn't really LFS. It's RPM-based. Ewwy. Hate hate hate.

I don't use X.

Umm... please explain. According to this, the BLFS book gives some advice on how to install a package management system, but to quote directly, "Dealing with package management takes the focus away from the goals of these books—teaching how a Linux system is built."

I started compiling LFS, but didn't know how to do certain things and got frustrated when the toolchain (namely, GCC) wouldn't install properly. I think I know what the problem was (I should have created a new make.conf, I think), but I do remember there being nothing RPM-ish about it. It really was a matter or ./configure && make && make install.

Some LFS-based distros -- for example, dyne:bolic or Yoper -- can use .rpm files and have package management utilities, but that's not really an aspect of LFS, but of the individual distros.

josiah · « **Reply #41 on:** 24 Feb 2006, 00:34 »

LFS aside, when I feel like having more a GUI-fied experience, I tend towards Windowmaker:

nihilist · « **Reply #42 on:** 24 Feb 2006, 07:17 »

The LFS stuff that I've done have always come in RPM format. Hence the ick. Perhaps things have changed since then.
