Mac desktops

The thread is a sticky. There's no reason to bump it :)

It's when someone wants a topic "bumped" to the top of the board/forum. Keeps it viewable. People do it a lot in the for sale forums around. Since this is a sticky thread, the bump serves no purpose

hey Neyo, for some reason your desktop pic is breaking the table and causing a horizontal scrollbar on the machine I am using. It looks like it is well within the size limits but the board has places big spaces on the side. What's up? Am I the only one getting that?

F*** u.

Uh, no thanks :x .

For me, it's digitaljames' desktop pic that is breaking the table. I have my setting at 40 posts per page, so it may be different. Neyo's is just centered in the space that the first pic set.

Should i modify it, or not?! ... i already downsized it a fair bit, and made it a mere 30Kb ;)

[Fusion]

no no, I think that superfula is right, it does seem to be digitaljames' wall that did it. Just didn't see that right away. Yours is fine. I also have my settings at 40 a page, so I think I will just turn that down and it will go away.

[Elliott]

F*** u.

He's right though. :laugh:

And yea, it's digitaljames' wallpaper.

[Iguana]

Yea, anyone know? I gotta get this wallpaper! :D :woot:

That is Gabrielle Richens and the wall paper can be found here.

Have fun you perverts. :shifty: :p j/k

Good idea to make this thread a sticky in the Customizing forum?

I don't think so. It really has nothing to do with customization. Putting it in the customization forum would be a great idea...if you wanted to kill off this thread.

The Mac section is broken down into two parts now.

1. Customizing Mac OS

2. Discussing Mac OS

I could be speaking out of my ass here, but I thought that posting our desktops was so that we could see what customizations have been done to it. I don't know about you, but when someone posts a desktop, the reason I look at it is to see how it has been customized, not to talk about the OS.

I'm not trying to be contradictory, just trying to see your point of view on how desktops don't have to do with customization.

If you look at the Customizing Mac OS section, in the General Information thread, there seems to be three main reasons for the section.

1. Wallpapers

2. Themes

3. Icons

These are precisely the items that are shown off in the "Post your Desktop" thread.

There is some small discussion that goes on in the thread, but it is usually questions about the cutomizations that people are using.

That is where I am coming from when I say that I think that it is a good idea to place it into that category.

Now on the killing this thread part of your post, I do have to disagree wtih you on that one. I am guessing that this thread could be located anywhere on Neowin's board and we would still find it and still post in it. It is just plain that popular.

Superfula, you're always so harsh. You can get your point across in a much nicer manner, especially with one of us who understands the first time. We're not some breed of trolls.

It does have to do with Customization for some desktops, but others use normal Aqua and even the Graphite wallpaper, so it couldn't relate to them Gator. Also, it's like having July Desktops in the General Discussion area. It's just that was.

Agreed, but I can't remember the last time anyone posted a totally default desktop, unless they just got a new Mac and were showing it off or something.

Very true though, just has always been that way.

Last time I checked, this forum/topic wasn't designed for personal attacks :blink:

May I direct you to the private messaging function ;)

[Elliott]

I was attacking? It looked to me like just giving pointers...:blink:

There was nothing harsh about my post. I stated the truth. I don't always have to put ;) or :woot: in my posts. I'm somewhat offended by your wild accusations. If I were to go around degrading people here...sure that's harsh. But if you think just stating the obvious truth in the matter is harsh....well there's nothing I can do to make my posts nicer, short of putting frosting on top, like ;) or :woot: in them, even if they don't belong.

The screenshot thread has nothing to do with customization. It's just showing the screenshots. If it were moved to the customization forum, the thread would gain quite a bit less attention, or die all together, because of the lack of traffic there is in that forum. How, exactly, is that harsh.

Anyway...the thread is called "Mac desktops" for a reason.

You don't necessarily have to stick a bunch of fake emoticons in your post which dont relate to your actual emoticons at that time.

I think what they mean is you could try and re-phrase your sentences in future so that you don't sound so "nasty", these people havn't really done anything wrong and don't deserve to be talked to like they are stupid, be snapped at or however it came across to them.
