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.

sanctified: i was thinking exactly the same. impressive. (referring to the post, not that we were thinking the same thing.)

hurmoth: glad to see im not the only one having OCD on neowin. :p

einsteinbqat: could you share that awesome wall, please? =)

^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.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛 
    • At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
    • On my music making (non internet) PC Sony Acid Pro 7.0 Adobe Audition 2015 Korg Legacy Collection Windows 7 SP1
    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
