Just a quick refresh on my personal system.

(resized for bandwidth)

Cara what are the following icons in your taskbar?

- The open lock right

- The green "on" button

- The temp meter

What programs are hidden behind them or what is their function? Especially the temp one looks interesting.

This shot should show a little larger and clearer... for some reason when I viewed my other post from another computer it came out blurry.... Hmmm...

OH YEAH and I think this is my first time posting my desktop... I've browsed these forums for a long time but never really posted here... so now I'll post more often. Hope you guys like. :D

Too busy, too many things going on at the same time, very uncoordinated. Fail.

Wow. Are you really criticizing how others uses their own desktop?

Some people can't stand that much going on. I have OCD and can't stand icons on the desktop. The hard drive icon on the desktop on my iMac drives me insane being there. I leave it for some odd reason, but I hate it there, I find myself starring hate it wanting to throw my iMac out of the window :laugh:

I don't make comment here with regards to other people's setup, but I usually don't come into the desktop threads simply because looking at other people's desktops that are "cluttered" drives me insane. I find myself wanting to ask them how they can stand it. I don't, because it isn't any of my business, but I want to though.

^is it just me or is your menubar very thin? i say, the larger view says 1400*900 and if that is your native res aswell, i want to know how you managed to make it thin.

then again you could just have resized a 24" imac screenie.

enlighten me! =)

edit ... okay, the new screen looks all normal again. nevermind me. ;)

Sorry, that was downsized. I should have left it full res. I have a MBP 17 High Res. 1920x1200

This one looks a little better:

Wow so you really have enough time on your hands to criticize something that someone else likes? What exactly is it that I fail at mate? Making something that you like or that appeals to you? If so then obviously guilty as charged... Hmm... wait a minute I just thought of something. This is MY desktop and MY computer not yours so lets re-evaluate this a minute... I like it and it works for me and that is the point of having MY own computer so it looks like I did not fail after all. Awwwe thanks for playing though sport. We do have some lovely partying gifts for you. If you can flame your way back into your little troll hovel we'll ship you a nice healthy hearty cup of STFU. :)

I think reasonable critique and such shouldn't be discouraged, but the 'fail' remark was a bit much. This thread after all is about sharing our desktops for others to look at.

I don't think critique should be necessary at all. It's a topic for posting our desktops, and that's it. It's not a group discussion on "proper" desktop management.

Hmm... I suppose you guys are right, people should have the right to just post their desktops without fear of being ripped apart by an anonymous stranger. Though I don't think we should all get riled up if someone posts negative feedback when we always welcome positive feedback. I don't know.
