I started a thread like this before, and didn't want to Necro it. But, in another forum I frequent, there's a thread where different users post there Desktop backgrounds. I thought I'd start one here, especially as I'm now on a different Operating System to the one I started the least thread in.



Thumb clicky-pops because I didn't want to put an image that large in line.

That's mine (Ubuntu 10.10 for those wondering, and the plane is a Panavia Tornado)

Also, remember, no no-wargaming pics on the Dakka server.

Tis mine. Had a bit of a clean-up before the screen-print was taken though =P

My current background.

I generally change them every now and then to another piece of artwork on my laptop (I seem to collect awesome arty style pics.)

The one I'm using for my Limited account online, no gets to see my admin one.. evar!!

Mines NSWF, but it's of model Vikki Blows in various states of undress.

Enjoy all that is mine!

It's quite a few months old now, might end up changing it sometime in the next few weeks.

Changed it for the new month (Thread starter was my December 2010 desktop), finally made a screencap of January's desktop

I understand dakka auto rescales huge images, so here it is

edit: I'm goin to ahve to fiddle with this so it works.......
2nd + 3rd edit: woo!!!!, the print screen one wouldnt work though, so no icons for everyone

What is this from? because I've found it before and used it in a school photoshop project? I never was 100% sure what it was from though.

Right Now its this.

I couldn't resist

Mine's actually black, with a few icons scattered . No time for something distracting! But your Dark Side of The Moon was awesome, I must say.

(and kudos to Warone for having some great games on his PC - namely, Torment and UFO (though I'd prefer enemy unknown))

Oh hells yeah.

I aprove!

Mine at the moment.

Here is one for the desktop. I find it very cluttered with the 3 excel files, 2 folders (of movies), a picture, and 2 icons for programs. Time for some deleting, just wish my second drive wasn't full already.



My laptop has some pic from warhammer 40k. Then 3 folders and 2 word docs. Everything on my laptop is gaming file wise.

Soladrin wrote:I aprove!

That is an epic picture. GO LYSANDER!

Okay, so not my EXACT desktop, but formatted the same way.

I'll have to get pics from my other computers when I get home. I don't want to include my work one because the 50 icons on it give too much employer specific info away.

Edit: found one that looks slightly more like my desktop!

But much bigger. I've got a dual monitor setup, and by having a really massive picture (3360x1050), if you select 'tile', it will just flow across each monitor.

I don't use desktop icons for anything, hence their absence. It's mostly pictures of my wife, or my dog, or vacation pictures (or a combination of all three).

daedalus wrote:Okay, so here's my other desktop:

Some of the ones I have made can be found in my Dakka Gallery.

Personal favorites:
Dark Santa
Blind Hatred
Monster
Daemon

Please avoid the images in quotes, otherwise it'll get a bit repetitive :b

Well if I didnt quote it, the rock, paper, scissors,lizards,spock wouldnt of made sense at all!

@Dreadnote - I have to say your pic is brilliant. It could have been a bit too dodgy, or just crap, but whoever did that has just captured it perfectly.

It actually hurts the brain looking at it, because even as a fan of zombie films, it's something they pretty much always avoid on screen. Even the choice of weaponry is spot on in my mind, if one had a gun it be ruined.

Kudos to the artist for sure.

I could never use it mind, the boys are bad enough now with zombie roleplaying, I'd dread to think what they'd start shouting out if they saw that.

Note, don't make jokes about Zombies being out in the mist to your kiddies.

Having a five year old screaming out.. Zombies, arghh they've got me, and then mock disembowling himself in the street in front of folks is kinda embarassing.

That, along with all the Class photos from GW 2, are what I have been using as my Backgrounds.

But enough of this, let's all sit back and enjoy the thread!

New month, new Desktop. Here's what the good chaplaingrabthar will be staring at throughout February

^ What is the middle part of that from?

Please don't post pictures with offensive language in them. this is mine for now it just kills me.

Really Dakka, did you expect anything else?

I'm also taking requests. I have a wallpaper folder full of stuff.

Just changed from this.


To this.


Although before that first one it was this.


I change it a fair bit.

I try to keep mine simple:



Had to chop off the seconds screen (it's a blank copy of the same background) so that explains the oddness on the left. My paint-fu is weak.

random pile of pics in th corner are going to be printed out soon, so they'll disappear

Awesome collection of games! But, why would anyone install Safari on a Windows machine?

I understand using it on a Mac (it's pre-installed and you're lazy), but why actually go through the trouble of getting it on PC?

If you're in web design, it's worth having to test how it renders your pages.

So you like the Fett?

No I was always a stars wars fan myself.

Makes me laugh every time.

Currently i have 20 pics that randomize every 2 hours so yea, my desktop changes alot! and thats just ones of games and such.

Would be alot more if i had a theme set up so my gf was my background lol.

I'd post mine, but it's a little NSFW.

It's one of my girlfriends modelling shots that was taken just for me. ;D

I always disliked tattoos on woman preferring clear, unblemished skin over the covered in ink look.

Should have specified: it's the Facial tattoos that kill it for me.

I hate facial markings, except for Scars, which are always cool.

I'm not sure scars look good with women either considering they just looking like strange raised lines and blotches across there face.

Upload the image file to photobucket or screenshot, save the screenshot THEN upload that image file to photobucket.

Once its on photobucket copy the link and put it between [ img ] link goes here [ /img ] tags without the spaces.

Deleted.

Add a Picture Folder on your Facebook, name it "Random THings", upload it onto Facebook, and then do the img thing.
