My "new" Desktop

[Ferdinand]

Updated, and organized all files into folders.

[Rhisiart]

Where did you get the desktop image and how do you get your name to appear in the menubar?

[mw84]

Enable fast user switching in account settings, for the name thing.

[Qion]

That's a defaulto OS X Tiger nature picture.

Thanks

I always did like that fish picture. Goes really nice with LCD's.

[Ferdinand]

And thats why I use it!

[Satcomer]

Ferdinand you look like the prime candidate for the free iStat menus (http://islayer.com/index.php?op=item&id=28).

[Ferdinand]

You're right: and I'm already downloading it! Btw: I also have iStat nano in my Dashboard. Attached is my newest desktop.

AAAAAH!!!!

IT'S THE ATTACK OF THE KILLER ICONS!!!!! RUNAWAY!!!!!!

[Ferdinand]

:)
They get more every day!

[Mikuro]

:eek: Wow. I have a whopping 10 non-permanent items on my desktop, and even that kind of bugs me.

If you can work like that, kudos to you. If it's something that bothers you, but not quiiite enough to actually clean it up, perhaps some AppleScript folder actions to automatically sort files for you as they're placed on the desktop would make your life easier. I use a folder action to automatically sort my web downloads folder. It keeps me sane.

I'm a bit of a pedantic, detail-oriented, obsessive compulsive neat freak. :)

[Ferdinand]

Very, very, very neat desktop and a great picture! Where did you get it from?

It's one of the preinstalled Tiger "Black and White" pictures.

Cripes Ferdinand! Do you have something against the Finder?

I like your background !

[Ferdinand]

Thanks!

[icemanjc]

I think his desktop is no longer "NEW!"

[Ferdinand]

You're right... but this one is new:

[CharlieJ]

I actually like all the OSX images :D I rarely use images from the internet.

[Mario8672]

Cool! I forgot how cool the menu-bar looked in OS Tiger. ><

[Ferdinand]

and here is my even newer desktop!

[Qion]

Nice resort; here's mine:

[Ferdinand]

Wow - fancy car! What company is it? It looks like DaimlerChrysler - but I'm not sure...
What are those three apps to the right of dreamweaver??

[chevy]

I don't even need to zoom on it to tell it's a 2007 Aston Martin DBS.

Chrysler... pfft...

From left to right - Illustrator CS2, Photoshop CS, Quark 6.1

I don't even need to zoom on it to tell it's a 2007 Aston Martin DBS.

Cheers! :)

Here is my winter background !


BTW, the 1963 Aston (or is it a '64 ?) hidden behind the icons of post #10 is not bad neither... and the co-pilot looks great :D

[Ferdinand]

You also use Delicious Library?? I do too... how does it work for you? Does your iSight scan the barcodes well?

Here the wallpaper is again without all the icons.... and you're right she does look great! :)

btw: where is that picture of yours taken??

Ah, I miss wire wheels.

(Long live the Jaguars and Austins of old...)

On a side note, I just bought a black 1997 Jaguar XJ6. Gorgeous car, I'm in love with it.

I prefer the house in the back... probably cheaper to maintain than a '97 Jaguar ! But I agree, it looks great. The best car I owned was an 164 alfa romeo with the 3.0 Super V6 24V engine. Incredible... but very bad for my wallet ! It was literally eating tires and a few years of services costed me more than the car (bought at a good price, I must admit).

The picture of my winter background is taken from my window.

Actually, from the shocking majority of reviews I've read, owners have very few reliability complaints. We'll see, anyway, but I have the feeling it's really just a superstition.

Fantastic Alfa, btw. I'd love to have a Brera.

[chevy]

Maybe the Jaguar reliability issues are gone with the restructuring of the company... in any case, the style is still there and it's really great.

Yeah, the Brera looks fine, mostly with the GTA motor. And the new 8C super car for the US market is not bad...

Playing around with DockChanger (http://www.whimsplucky.com/Whimsplucky/Software/Software.html).

[bbloke]

I'm not so sure about the appearance of the Dock, but I was more distracted by your Desktop! A picture of a nurse may be one thing, but one with a syringe?! :D

So was I. The syringe is even complete with a little drop at the top!

btw: The only difference I noticed in the dock was that instead of one light for an open app there are three. Were there any other changes you made?

[Rhisiart]

Yes, it's almost transparent (which shows more clearly on some desktop pictures).
