Nice graphics, but not really my style. The abstract butterfly effect might represent april, but the dark colors really don't. Uhm.. I score this a 6,5 out of 10 on the xiphoid-scale :D

[merk]

Not everyone lives where spring based colours represent april. :)

I like it, colicab.

My desktop is hardly ever seen, and if it is you will find a nice IE-like [X] in the centre with the background being black :D (i broke my bg and i dont see it enough to worry about fixing it)

[colicab-d]

What are you both shy? lol shows us yer desky :D

Here's a picture I used for my desktop. Taken myself in March 2004. It's about 20 meter underwater. Taken with a Canon A60 with underwater case ;)

I'm a fan of very minimalist desktops, I can't abide tons of icons and folders on my desktop! *shudders at the thought* ;)

[rockergrrl]

I'm a minimalist as well. Even to the point of using the Windows Classic "theme" on XP.

[nemesis01]

damn people with messy desktops, anyway...

Summer hopefully:D
FFVIII, wasn't as good as the others;)

[DirectPixel]

Mine. :)


WinAmp is set to the default skin, and kept hidden. Samaurize displays WinAmp song info (When WinAmp is actually open) and I've got global hotkeys and the four button on top-right of task bar to control music.

Also got a little pop-up menu of frequently-used programs next to the start button (top-left of task bar, the ">>")

Minimalist. :)

Ace, straight to DVD i believe?
ooh, your winamp. Map of your head? i personally think eternally missed is better, along with Hyper Chondriac Music :p
you didn't like 8 too much? i found 7 good, but too long to get into =/

Yep, straight to DVD. Personally I would of preffered a theatrical release but Square would of lost quite a bit of money.

Eternally Missed wasn't bad, Map of your Head just owned the Hulabaloo CD:D

I didn't like VIII's junctioning system, way to confusing.

DirectPixel, what's that bar at the top? It's quite cool.

FF8's juntion system was insanely simple O.o

Indeed, like FF - The Spirits Within. I don't see why this shouldnt do well.

It was....interesting how it went from being the live version "rusty one" to how it is now. I believe the exadmin emailed Matt and asked him how much they paid for Darth Vader to appear on the song.

I found the materia system confusing. having to join a magic with all :S

Zach; It was hard:(:p

Materia System, in my opinion, was the best system, with V's coming at a close second. Joining materia for better power and statistics was just great (I,e Counter Attack linked with Knights of the Round :D:D Pure class)

that was crazy..but comeone. DoomTrain. Diablos. Bahumut. I think it had the best summons, and being able to have anyone summon was great (opposed to 9 and 10 where only selected people could)

[rebelsrock06]

I have two i use most of the time, I switch to one if i get bored with the other.

Ones REALLY bright

Just added my own Samaurize thanks to DirectPixel. I might just add the jaguar theme again to go along with my desktop. Anyways, this would be mine. That is BOB on TV Tuner.

edit: new desktop here... (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=657408&postcount=45)

[rockergrrl]

Oddly enough, I downloaded Samaurize as well... though I'm still messing with it... Can I get your skin/config DirectPixel? ;)

[XiXora]

[IDN]

Thanks everyone. You inspired me to change my desktop.

Old:

New:

I made the wallpaper myself except for the flags and the cartoon. I edited the wallpaper from one I found on Deviant Art (The original was like the old desktop but with a almost naked woman on it.)

[IDN]

I don't mind it. That sex icon is for my website. ;)

Updated my Samaurize tool bar to include weather and hardware details. Starting to look rather slick.

http://pdwebs.com/desktop.jpg

[rockergrrl]

Trent - would you mind sharing your config/skin files? :)

[tgillespie]

Sure. It would help a lot if you are a little experienced with the program, because it would take quite a few directions to obtain the Weather and Hardware information.

- Extract the zip to your \Samurize\ folder.
- Edit the parameters for the weather using your zipcode by clicking on the object.
- If you want the hardware information, go to http://www.hmonitor.com/ and download the latest version. The program runs a little wierd with Samurize, but once you get it reading correctly, your golden.

If you have any questions, or problems at all, just ask.

http://www.pdwebs.com/samurize/trent.zip

[rockergrrl]

*hugs*

I was messing around with Samurize - but I didn't create anything worth using ;) (little time - for the most part).

[tgillespie]

At first it seems quite frusturating. The program would be a lot easier to use if you could make the grid 1, and have the ability to zoom in. I got the idea for my skin from Direct Pixel and looked at the sample skins for functionality.

If you have a P4 with hyper-threading, let me know and I will give you my latest release. The processor graph shows activity from both processors (two lines). It's neat to see HT in action when loading large applications. I also added the P4 logo, but it looks a little tacky. If you are interested, I will update my screenshot.

[Ksilebo]

I'd love to get those settings from you, Trent. I have a P4 with HT and have been looking everywhere for an app that does a seperate graph for each CPU.

Guess I need to grit my teeth and get used to the app.

[tgillespie]

Ksilebo, this is what I have mine setup to look like. I could separate the graphs or change the colors if you want, but you can see it a little below. If you want this config, let me know and I will pack it up.

[Ksilebo]

I would greatly appreciate it! I'll more than likely tweak it so if you have the basic framework I can muck about with it. I can even post a screenshot afterward.
