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.

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.

nothing to do with customization?

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.

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.

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
