* The desktops thread is not to be used as a means to post images of a pornographic or otherwise provocative nature. We do not support a babes forum and neither will we in an unofficial capacity. Please help to keep the thread relevant and safe to browse for everyone.

* The moderators of this forum reserve the right to edit or remove your posts as necessary so they may comply with our Community Rules.

* In the interests of keeping the thread on topic it is strongly urged that you format your posts in the following order:

Wallpaper: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

Icons: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

Programs: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).

* Please use reduced-size thumbnails, where possible, out of respect for people running on lower bandwidth or screen resolutions.

Important Note: Any image posted that is over the established guidelines will be removed! Use a thumbnail or use a text link to your image. If your image is removed, this is why.

This is for everyone that asks for the wallpaper.

Not much different than last month, just the center monitor. Somewhat modified version of the stock Aero, pulled all the blue bits out of the toolbars and crammed them into the shadows instead.. kind of liked that from KDE so why not. Was poking around in the Linux screenshot thread, was bored, so why not, whipped up a little program to do a similar thing, just because.

Cool! How did you do that in your terminal? Can you upload your script/how to? Thanks!

It's just a quickie little C# program (my Python is awful) that pulls info from a couple sources, much of which is already provided by the platform.. the System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter namespace for resource usage stats, queried the server service for uptime, query the registry for the shell then get the file version, etc. Think the most time spent was getting the stupid Windows logo to align properly lol. It's not ready for public usage (IE, it's spaghetti code I whipped up before I was even awake and embarrassing), I can put it somewhere later once I clean it up sure. Doesn't fit into the default console size either.. should probably have it check for that and do it top-to-bottom if it's not wide enough.

Ok. LOL! Let me know when it's all patched up. :) I'd love to have something like that.

It's been AGES since I posted in a Desktops thread... I thought it was about time!
