He's also right there in the video Lewis posted, so that should be a pretty big sign of her not losing him.

Also he (Jack Conte) has the best music-face. So fucking intense, always.

Ok, here are two as my Macbook is dual screened when at home. The main screen is (currently) a combination of an old meme and my fascination with messing about with Geektool.  I'm aware the the moon is wrong for the Earth-illumination angle - it should update to the correct phase, but it's broken and I've not found the time to debug it.



The secondary screen is currently reflecting the fact I once inflicted Harry Potter fanfic on the universe - somebody did a picture of  my main character. She was a half-blood Slytherin who was a couple of years older then the main trio (and disliked them intensely). She owed something to Daria (but notably without her rigid morality) and something to George McDonald-Fraser's version of  Harry Flashman  (but without his lechery and only some of his cowardice). Some people said they liked it < shrugs >.

Win 7, got it set to rotate through a collection, but this is the current one (work comp, dual screen, but I cropped it down):


I get most of the images I use for my background from this site:
http://www.caedes.net/

I've also lowered the resolution of the original image so when I lock my screen, it's visible there, too.  Unless you had them side by side, you really wouldn't notice the quality difference.

Usually you can press CTRL + Print and then paste it into an image processing program of your choice (paint, photoshop, gimp, whatever). As far as I know that works on most Operating Systems. I could be wrong though, don't have that much experience with MacOS.

If you get a print screen program, you can define your own print screen button - I use Gadwin Printscreen. It's practical mostly for dumping the screen shots into a specified folder, and having a bunch of other options. I hadn't thought of it as a good alternative if you don't have a printscreen button, but there it is.

Okay, I finally got around to fixing up my desktop to make the three primary virtual desktops functioning more smoothly.  Desktop two is basically there for the widgets and nothing else, whilst 3 is all terminal windows.  #1 I have decluttered a bit.

Which is something I never understood. A WM is to me a means to get access to the programs I'm running. It shouldn't hinder that purpose by using resources. The form should follow the function, efficiency is elegance. Why use a complex solution to a problem, when there's a so much simpler one.

I also never understood desktop widgets. I don't look at my desktop often. I see the wallpaper through my fake-transparent terminals, but apart from that I don't see it. If I spent much time looking at an empty desktop instead of a program I'd be doing something wrong.

Oh, I don't think that my WM is ever in the way, although I'd love it if when KDE 5 does ship, there's an option for tiling on the virtual desktop for all the terminal windows.  And, I'd say in many cases, widgets are useless, since one would have to minimise windows of useful stuff to really do anything with them.  However when I have one virtual desktop that is exclusively for things that can be useful to access, and I can do so with a simple key-chord, and quickly switch back to work without taking my hands off the keyboard.  It's faster after all, to find out current temperature and forecast say, to just hit ^F2, look, then hit ^F1 to get back to what I was doing than it would to be to open a new tab, and type in a search query (switching applications, if required).  And even less time than say, check RSS feeds by using alt-tab until I get to the right program, or drag the mouse all the way to the system tray to check RSS feeds for anything interesting, since again, it's two key-chords, one in, one out.

The rest of it, really, is just my own sense of aesthetics.  I don't really care about resource consumption, especially even with all the candy, X, Plasma Desktop, and Kwin are together at <1% of one core, and using no memory to speak of.

Edit:  I think any further discussion along this line should probably be quoted and sent to the *nix thread.

Since my windows boot is basically for Borderlands gaming, I went ahead and looked for a wallpaper and look that would work for me.

Also, I have the opinion that wallpapers are there because you want to see them, therefore I always have somewhat clean desktops.



(All those gauges and meters were customized to fit with the theme. They're originally cyan and white, and with much less information and interesting links. Also, I effectively have 3 clocks since the round thing on the right is a polar clock. Suck it Timemaster)

As you can see, I kind of like the red color, and I am a bit of a fan of the Siren. Just a bit.
