Photos The 'post your desktop' thread

Honestly, that is a tiny amount of tabs. I usually have around 70 open, but I lost my session when I updated FF. I have one 17" CRT and 19" TFT.

openSUSE is turning out well so far, I only installed it to dual boot with Gentoo; I got tired of explaining to people why my computer “looks like that”. I did have Ubuntu on it briefly but, IMO, openSUSE beats it in the Just Works™ department. And KDE4 is so much better than GNOME, and Kubuntu is just a whole heap of fail.

 

New wallpaper after what seems like eleventy billion years...
And with the rig getting slow as hell , Chrome is now my browser of choice...

 

To update this thread with my new desktop, or to not update this thread with my new desktop? That is the question!

 

Singularity: How do you get that WM6.1 widget?

 

You may find https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5890 helpful.

 

It's actually a nice little application called My Mobile (used to be My Mobiler, but I think they changed the name). Unfortunately, I can't get to the site anymore, but I think you could still hunt it down on the 'net.

Edit: I've managed to find the installer for it, so drop me a PM, I'll mail it to you

 

Found a mirror, ta!

 

oh go on then...

 

I will just lose them in endlessly long trees.

 

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5627 then?

 

I already have a useful addon, I can remember where my related tabs are.

pay no attention to clock speed.. i'm running at default settings at the mo because someone's "Borrowing" my RAM.. so running cheap crap for a few days.

 

WOWOWOWOWOWOW

Please link to that BT wallpaper

 

clicky

 

just another bit-tech wallpaper

 

Did you make that? Made me LOL because I used the same tutorial to make the top banner for my band's myspace.

AH

 

????

Just outer glow in layer styles.

 

Did you make it? It really looks like it was made using the same tutorial I used. So many little things, it just can't be coincidence.

No?!

AH

 

Yes I made it.. in about 4 minutes while waiting for a phonecall. You don't need a tutorial for something like this... it's child's play. I didn't even use PS to do the logo and wires - did them in illustrator because I used live trace on the .psd of the bit logo to vectorise it so I could scale without degrading it.. whilst I was in there I made the swoosh with a simple bezier curve. Loaded them into PS and just applied outer glow on the layers. The background is simply a big fat pattern brush. Once in PS it was probably no more than 10 mouse clicks.

That tutorial is bloaty as hell... I could get the same result with a quarter of the work.

 

I like your work. Could you do a tutorial for us? I can see many things that could use your touch.
