Guest LilBambi Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Liar, Liar ... pants on fire! That is no Windows install LOL! Quote
abarbarian Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 Ha ha that screen is a hoot. Your link I think shows the Windows KDEClone theme, am I right ? Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 I had to post the link like that because the board didn't like ImageShack's thumbnail code for that one for some reason. Yeah... Win/KDE. Uh-huh. Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Light through ice...very cool stuff. Quote

abarbarian Posted June 7, 2013 Author Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) Love the wallpaper zlim. If you are a decorator then Rocket Dock is not only pretty but very useful too. Works a treat in XP. http://rocketdock.com/ Edited June 7, 2013 by abarbarian Quote
zlim Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 abarbarian, nope not a decorator. I had Webshots paid for several years and I have more wallpaper than I can possibly use in my life time. I have an old program that takes a webshot file and will convert it to a jpg. So I can convert all those paid pictures I downloaded and use them on my XP computers, if I want. I'm usually a sucker for any tropical beach scene. Quote

Guest LilBambi Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 OK, real Windows Desktops please. Linux users have their own show your Linux Desktops and Android Desktops. Quote
ichase Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) Win 7 Pro in Virtual Box running in Arch Linux. I have this set up more optimally for work than my corporate laptop is It's awesome because I no longer require to have 2 laptops out (work and play) I can work within my play environment. MS Office 2013 installed (which was quite a bit different then Office 2007 that I was used to using) Edited June 11, 2013 by ichase Quote
ichase Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 Yeah, 2013 is quite a bit different. Could not resiste the $9.99 for the HUP MS Office offer to those with a .mil account Quote

abarbarian Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) Neat ichase. FULL SIZE CLEAN This is a slightly out of focus handheld fully zoomed shot taken with me K-30 and a 30 year old manual Vivitar zoom I bought for £11.99 inc postage. I took three shots with the kit zoom 28-55mm to show its reach from the spot I took the original shot from. No zoom Mid zoom Full zoom Full zoom on the Vivitar The wallpaper was a crop from the full zoom Vivitar. If you look at the centre of the picture you can see two little hillocks, one with a white stone atop and slightly right of that one with buttercups atop. The crop came from around there. I am amazed that the crop gave such a nice picture as it was taken from quite a distance and I do not think I had the camera properly set up. Looking dead centre and slightly right and up a touch you see a dark spot, that to me suggests a entrance to a woodland path whereas in real life you are seeing branches and foliage high up in a tree. The suggestion of a dark entrance with the flowers in the foreground coupled with the blurriness gives the wallpaper a darkly dreamy atmosphere in my mind. Maybe I'm smoking too much though. Enjoy.

ichase Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 My XP in Virtual Box, I work in both XP and Win 7 environments as well as Server 2003 and 2008. This makes me love VBox that much more. I scroll to a new workspace in Linux and I am in my VM's. Best of both worlds. Work and play with out a reboot Quote
zlim Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 I love coffee and I love chocolate so this seemed perfect for me. I actually don't drink any of the fancy coffee concoctions, just straight up black coffee. 2 Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Yeah, but just looking at those concoctions had me smelling coffee! Quote
raymac46 Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 This is my Windows 7 desktop from my Acer quad-core i5 mini-tower. The photo is of the upper falls in Almonte Ontario Canada. 1 Quote
Guest LilBambi Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 Almost reminds me of a black and white movie with the Three Stooges where they were doing plumbing and water was coming out of stove, sinks and the TV coincidentally when they were showing Niagra Falls. That is a gorgeous picture btw! Quote
raymac46 Posted November 14, 2013 Posted November 14, 2013 The upper falls aren't really very high. After the water goes over a weir by the old flour mill, it rushes under an abandoned railway bridge. Later on there are the more substantial lower falls where most of the water goes through a power station. There's still enough left for show biz, though, especially during the spring run-off. 1 Quote
