I often like to leave space around a desktop photo for temporary placement of files or aliases of folders I'm working with. My late summer desktop has a Great Blue Heron (not my photo) surveying its potential "restaurant" in a wildlife refuge in the US state of Georgia. Wonderful hangout for protective camouflage: bird almost looks like a piece of driftwood.

Is that Manchester?

Deansgate I believe!

Here used to be an updated-upscaled screenshot featuring an older vector wallpaper from t0mcat031 on Deviantart - but I realised that I wouldn't want anyone else messing about with my works and ask for permission after the fact.

That's what I thought too. Knott bar in the background. Not been there for a while but it used to be one of my favourites in the city centre.

How does it feel running the XP in 2020?

How does it feel running the XP in 2020?

Not too bad to be perfectly honest. the OS is decently responsive and it serves the purpose I need it to.

I feel you with Windows XP - I had a lot of fun using that myself - not overly complicated and theming was like "INSERT Anime character with big joyful teary eyes"

Exactly, sort of like Mac OS 9 and before in a way. The simplicity of it all (and an anime background ofc) makes everything very enjoyable to use

Absolutely. Y'z Dock and Y'z Shadow.. excellent programs. Before any other Dock-like programs(Did ObjectDock come before?) this fellow from Japan had it all worked out.
Many hours spent downloading widgets for that Samurize widget program - AveDesk came along. Just on that one website: Aqua-Soft

Yes... had those, also some great talented artists, Susumu Yoshida and Jonas Rask spring to mind... but many more.

And our very own GerritV...

Don't get me started on MacThemes!

Lol!

I have this picture as my desktop wallpaper. When I saw the new WoW cinematics regarding Anderweald (Shadowlands) Ursoc hit me straight into my heart q_q
