April Desktops


Recommended Posts

Another Month. Another Thread.

Most know the drill - Incase you don't, this thread will remain locked until the first of April. This will be the only desktop/wallpaper thread. Others will be locked, merged, or deleted. :p ;)

And lest we forget:

  • If you plan to img-embed your desktop, please keep it at/under 1024x768 and under 60k (It's recommended that you attach your desktop or link it, externally)
  • Stay within the board rules, no matter how yummy you may believe it to be
  • Oh yeah - If you are going to quote, there isn't a need to quote an img-embeded picture - Just don't do it. Please just reference the post by page number/page link/landing flags/etc.

Have fun :D

...plain Silver XP style with a pic of Garfield and Pooky (just gotta love that fat cat). Click image for real size, high quality.

For any other Garfield fan out there wanting the pic, it's on the official web site, under the Fun & Games section.

For those wondering (I remember I did until I read it here on another "desktop of the month" thread), the lock icon is a shortcut pointing to the following target:

%windir%System32rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

...this will lock your computer in a similar fashion to that of Windows NT/2000...can be kinda handy :).

The calender I'm using is Rainlendar.

Here is my desktop 1024x768, as you can see I like the MacOS X look.:rambo: I modded it slightly so the messenger icon loads Trillian, and a few other little things. You can't see it from the picture, but pretty much everything is translucent.

For all of you wondering what I used to make this awesome, Win2k/XP (possibly others) theme, here is what I used. I did this on a Windows 2000 Server PC, however the theme is designed for XP.

XPBar Download or you can use ObjectBar from Stardock, but you can use XPBar and just load this theme instead.

Quantum Wallpaper-Download (2.25 MB)(Came from Robins Aqua theme which was modified by Trojan)

eYzBubbles(Aqua) Object Bar Theme-Theme Page

Download

You may have to do a little customizing, I changed the "buddy" icon from AIM to trillian, just right click and properties, then behavior. Same things you can add stuff to and remove stuff from the menus. Most of it is completely customizeable!

ENJOY:rambo:

Ok guysz, please, please.... read the rules up the top. The thread has barely been open and people are already ignoring the rules.

.....If you plan to img-embed your desktop, please keep it at/under 1024x768 and under 60k (It's recommended that you attach your desktop or link it, externally)

We have alot of members on dialup and browsing this thread is going to be quite a hassle for them with all the enormous desktop screenies embedded into users posts.

Either link to them or keep the sizes down ok ?

Thanx guyz
