Felt like sharing my Desktop, and after searching around the last time a thread was made for this was about 9 years ago lol. So share away if you'd like!

Tutorial on setting up your Desktop.

Thanks Hamma! Just to explain whats going on a bit.

All of the icons are custom made. The Terran Republic circle is actually a CPU and RAM meter, so it's always constantly moving and looks cool. The screenshot is actually a Planetside 2 slideshow, and goes through hi-resolution shots that have been released on Planetside 2. There are virtual desktops at the bottom left, which basically give me four completely separate but usable desktop areas. I can, for example, open TeamSpeak 3 and mIRC on one, then switch to another so I can have both programs running without taking up screen space. There's also a Media player at the bottom right, and static media controls at the top right if don't have access to the desktop media player.

You should still post your desktop regardless! There's the point you know.

That a GNOME desktop (or some other customized flavor of Linux Mint?)

Anyway: here's mine

Nope, all Windows 7 64-bit. I like your wallpapers, though not a fan of Windows 8. Here's another image of the desktop to show you how I browse the web lol.

Wow, that must've taken quite a bit of time to get it that way. I know there's quite a bit of customization possible in Windows 7, but it's MUCH MUCH MUCH more annoying than on GNOME desktops.

Also, what program are you using for the virtual desktops? I've never been able to find one with functionality as good as that on a Mac or Linux.

Made it more NC for Lynx.

I didn't put it into IMG brackets because in preview it came out HUGE.

Thanks Saieno for your awesome tutorial. I didn't add a few things that you did, and the images don't look as bad since it's separate monitors. I hope I got the blue NC enough (I have color issues.) I think I'm going to eliminate the top bar entirely though, and just move the power button down. But yeah. When I show my friends I'll show them your video so you get credit for being a badass.

Here is mine. The background might look off, but that is to make up for the beveling between the monitors.

In the middle of a semester right now, so have not cleaned up my desktop in a few months.

That's the 4th ID logo you got going on there with your shortcuts.
