:O Very similar,

[wdlove]

I like both of yours Mr. Anderson & Wes, very simple. I like the space theme. Mr. Anderson's is a look into his mind! Wes has one that looks similar to the Death Star in Star Wars. Both seem to be fans of space. Thank you for sharing!

[King Cobra]

Man, now mine looks like a for-pity.

All Photoshop, no 3D software, though.

I couldn't even imagine having something like that up on my work machines.....;)

My summer home.... :D

[Freg3000]

I have never uploaded my desktop, but here goes. :)
Edit: I had to export this thing 10 times before I got it under the size restrictions. And my pic looks pretty crappy. :(

It's at home, I'd never get away with that @ work, we aren't even allowed non-standard MS Windows wallpapers :rolleyes:

[crenz]

I can't post my current desktop because it has my girlfriend on it and I don't want her to be photoshopped :D

Kinda reminds me of the castle that Sean Connery's carachter in "Entrapment" lives in.

Ha, that's on my desktop rotation as well. That was a great shot - haven't seen those conditions since and there haven't been any ships like that docked lately....

I shot that here, in the suburbs of New Orleans. There's a carwash around here with a "safari" theme, so it has palm trees & such. It was just one of those rare occasions when the sky looke amazing...so I aimed & grabbed some shots. :D

Here is mine again. Same as last months but I'll post it again because I like it so much :D.

From breedart.org.

Thx again shadowfax for directing me, and others, to the site.

Thanks! Actually, my father took that picture, and it's dusk I believe. In the winter the sun rises at 11 AM and sets at 3 PM here in southern Norway.

Ha, it reminded me of Alaska in the winter. Pretty much the same thing in January up at the site I worked at one winter. Although I don't have any pictures quite like that - I love the mist.

Eye should make that his dektop and then put the evil baby next to it. It'd take just a lil' bit of photoshopin'.

Would make a fine desktop too.

A little scarry though. ;)

[funkywhat2]

i changed it yseterday, after finding the back image. now if only windows tiled it right.:rolleyes:

and normally, i'm using 1024x768 or 1152x8?? resolution, but i had to scale it down for file size sake. screwey paint just can't seem to crop images properly...:rolleyes:

[MacMumm]

My friend likes to draw, so I thought it would be fun to make a desktop and icons out of her work...

Here is my new Pixmap Panther GTK+ 1.2 Theme *I* created for the X11/Gnome Apps I run with Apple's X11. The running app is a revamped Lopster with new icons and such. Enjoy.

Ahmed :D

[iJon]

its amazing to still see all these people who use grab to get the desktops. i like apple shift 3 more. i would post my background but i just installed panther so it looks like a demo computer set up at an apple store.

[Stike]

Once again, I am contributing to the desktop threads :)
This pic was photoshopped by me, the "Return of the King"-Logo is still missing, because there is no logo on the net in a nice resolution...

[wdlove]

Nice work Stike! I'm looking forward to the, "Return of the King."

Something I photoshopped together in a few minutes...

RATM all the way!! Audioslave sucks!

You're welcome... though for what I don't know... :p

Yep, the toilet is a skin for iCan (http://www.kanzu.com/ican.html), which is a shareware replacement for Trash.

If I were a photographer, I'd have a more interesting desktop. But for the rest of us, there's Starfish X.

[shadowfax]

a friend of mine made this desktop, and i adapted it to my resolution. her name's tomiko sky, not my usual rena tanaka.

[ExoticFish]

here's mine for august. i forget where i found this picture but i photoshopped it to have the widescreen look and added the bars at the top and bottom.

It's nice to see a fellow Quicken user pEZ. I use mine for all my home financial records. Have it setup so I can view my bank accounts and pay all my bills online!

Actually, I don't use Quicken for banking, I use Quicken for investing. To keep track of my credit cards and checking account I use iBank (http://www.iggsoftware.com/ibank/) (the icon to the left of Quicken in my dock). It's a nice little app, and much more bare-bones than Quicken - I'm a college student, so not enough bills to pay online. Just simple money management.

Investing is a different story - haven't found a program that keeps track of my investments better than Quicken, otherwise I'd probably rid myself of it. It's nice, but too bulky IMO. Rock on.

[AhmedFaisal]

I am using a Kaleidoscope Scheme called Panther with matching ATM, MOS and Control Strip Hack as well as Smoothtype & PowerWindows. The Dock is called A-Dock , the shadow under the menubar is actually part of the desktop wallpaper. The mods to IE & Quicktime are done by Max Rudberg. Since I only have a G3 in this box I use OS 9 for DivX viewing. Sorry for the bad quality, the QT Picture Viewer didn't let me do better....
Cheers,

Ahmed

[iJon]

ok im my powermac right now which is more interesting than the powerbook. its a little messy but i dotn care.

[job]

mandolux (http://mandolux.com) will r0x0r your b0x0r.

I prefer my desktops clean with no icons or dock. (The dock is just hidden. It's centered on the right hand side. Magnification off. Smallest size.)

:D i m still a n00b on the mac :D i use meteorologist, available here. (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16142)

it's pretty useful... sometimes.

[maradong]

thx, is that the same as mc68k is using ?

[shadowfax]

[irmongoose]

There is both WeatherPop and WeatherPop Advance (http://www.versiontracker.com/mp/new_search.m?productDB=mac&mode=Quick&OS_Filter=MacOSX&search=weatherpop&x=0&y=0).
WeatherPop is total freeware, no time limit, just that you don't get
a weekly forecast or any other extra details such as humidity, dewpoint,
wind speed, barometer, sunrise and sunset time, etc.
WeatherPop Advance, which includes all these features,
is $8 shareware.

I found Meteorologist to be very reliable -- after I switched my sources from weather.com to wunderground.com. Seems that weather.com keeps on changing the format.

i use temperature monitor (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19994). the program has several differnt windows that can show the temperature, including a dock icon. i set up the menubar display within the program, and then used the program dockless (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/18195) to make the program not show up in the dock. dockless changes some plist value to make the program 'invisible'. the only side effect is i can't access the menus of the effected program.

i then put it in my login items, so that when X starts, the program does to, but u can't see the program launch or the dock icon

the temp check frequency is also adjustable. not every proc is supported.
