Desktops 2015
« on: January 18, 2015, 08:03:19 PM »
What are your Desktop wallpapers?

The first is the wallpaper I'm using on my mobile device (provided by work).

The second is what I'm considering (it's an important decision!).

After that is what they look like with the icons.

What do you think?

Not bad.  Wish I had an iPad of my own.

Here's my most recent wallpaper.

I've got a couple new ones since The Master.
The best one's my monitor monitor. ;D
And I replaced the photo of my friendly neighborhood snow leopard with a better shot.

Nice Monitor!  (I think they're pretty cool)

After many months, I finally picked a different wallpaper for my primary work system.

Ya, if they didn't get so big I'd want one for a pet.  Beautiful lizards.
I love landscapes too, especially sunsets.

Took about a year (an unusually long time for me, actually) but I finally changed my desktop to something new, a pic I've long been meaning to use as a desktop for awhile now.

Unfortunately, it doesn't really fit my laptop's widescreen, but oh well.

I really like the idea of Pokémon based vehicles such as jets

New one. The source should be obvious.  8)

Unfortunately, not quite as high a quality as I had hoped when I captured it, but it'll do for now. :)

Found out Descendant Studio's got some wallpaper-version screenshots available finally, so I changed mine again.

I did find a version that was a higher quality version of the last one I was doing that I nearly went with, but then I figured, might as well change it altogether while I'm at it, as it's not the only cool shot of DU available. :D

I'm still waiting them to make the one I asked for to put on an advert in a Trackmania map...

Went 100% Linux on my trusty old ASUS laptop today after running into some driver trouble with Windows 8. I could go back to Windows 7, which works great, but I've been using Linux almost 90% of the time by dual-booting anyway.

Went with Linux Mint 17.1 XFCE, my favorite distribution of Linux so far. Used one of the (both numerous and excellent) stock wallpapers, made some changes to the general appearance, and added a very cool, very simple hardware monitor.

EDIT: Added a photo of some stuff cluttering up the screen and the menu expanded in case anyone cares to see what Linux Mint XFCE looks like in action (note that by default, the taskbar is at the bottom, but I've learned that it's more intuitive up top).

I, for one, hope this is much, much more than a reconnaissance mission.

So I went Windows 10, and since I was already going through and tweaking things, I figured I'd change the desktop background while I was at it to something new. As it'd been awhile (and because I have a bunch of desktop pics lying around that I haven't gotten around to using yet), this desktop's theme is Portal 2.

As for Windows 10, it seems to be doing ok, but it's still early. Only gripe I have thus far is that the upgrade has robbed me of my Spike-themed recycling can icon, and as of yet I haven't figured out how to get it back. But that's next on the to-do list. ;)
