    Actually, I framed that wallpaper from my screensaver, which would have been a friday afternoon. Are you trying to tell me something? :suss: ____________________ David Wulff There was a young man called Dave, Who dug up a prositutes grave, She was mouldy as shìt, And missing a tit, But look at the money he saved.

I haven't had time to untidy it yet. The new cleaner is already threatening to tip the entire contents of my desk out the window!! Should that be :omg: or :cool: ? Jeremy Davis http://www.astad.org

                  Okay, so I'm bored, but it would be interesting to see what my fellow CPians choose to stare blankly at for eight hours each day (well six if you count the time they spend at this site). Here is my work desktop. What does your's look like? If you can't upload the picture anywhere, feel free to e-mail it to me and I can stick it on our webserver (BT are paying for it so why should I care? ;)) Just remember to compress it to at least 200 kb or my poor modem at home may well explode! ____________________ David Wulff There was a young man called Dave, Who dug up a prositutes grave, She was mouldy as shìt, And missing a tit, But look at the money he saved.

                                  This. I bet I've got the most unique desktop of anyone =). I don't run explorer as the shell, I find it crashes far too much when I do. I run a shell of my own design, it is what gets me the runbox, the AIM window in windowshade mode in the upper right, and the A, O, and W buttons on title bars. Winamp gets a permanant place on the screen, outside of the work area. Screen resolution is 1400x1050, strange, I know, but it's the native res of the laptop panel, so I don't have much choice ;). When was the last time anyone saw windows minimized like that? Sorry, I couldn't resist. :laugh:

                                    That's definetely unique wParam. :-) When you boot, how do you get your shell to run instead of Explorer's? What are the A O W buttons for? Regards, Alvaro Kinda hard to sign my name without anything to write with. Anyone got a pen?

                                        Okay, so I'm bored, but it would be interesting to see what my fellow CPians choose to stare blankly at for eight hours each day (well six if you count the time they spend at this site). Here is my work desktop. What does your's look like? If you can't upload the picture anywhere, feel free to e-mail it to me and I can stick it on our webserver (BT are paying for it so why should I care? ;)) Just remember to compress it to at least 200 kb or my poor modem at home may well explode! ____________________ David Wulff There was a young man called Dave, Who dug up a prositutes grave, She was mouldy as shìt, And missing a tit, But look at the money he saved.

                                        Here's mine: http://www.btinternet.com/~bttlxe/Danield-Desktop.gif (Thanks to Dave for hosting the file) I'm actually using ActiveDesktop (horrors!), a few HTML files, some scripts, and WSH. Not a single .ICO and proud of it.

Well what can I say? It is certainly "unique". :rolleyes: ____________________ David Wulff There was a young man called Dave, Who dug up a prositutes grave, She was mouldy as shìt, And missing a tit, But look at the money he saved.
