Ladies and gentlemen, your desktop themes please.

You worry too much.

 

Probably, I don't have 7 deadlocks on my back door for nothing.

 

For a quick escape, no doubt.

Or customized advertising.

 

When I lived in Tasmania, I could have done with a few more locks on my door.

 

Or bash in a window.

 

Funny you should say that Dark Elf because my door frame was actually ripped off. Luckly it was a rental and prefurnished, I only lost my television.

 

On the advice (and connection help) from my neighbor, here's a little something I put together over the weekend:

 

That is fantastic.

 

How did you put this together? Did you use some sort of program or was this all done by hand? Would it happen to be a background .exe wrapper or somesuch?

 

That's truly amazing. It makes me jealous, even with my stylish use of negative space in my desktop theme.

 

She is my age too, wanna set me up rroyo?

 

Probably not an exe wrapper, there's a couple of applications that create an overlay for the desktop (Windows has had built in support for that kind of thing for ages - think it's called ActiveDesktop?).

One such app I used to use: http://www.samurize.com/modules/news/

But, brilliant desktop rroyo (I like the name in particular - tessla coil??), good to see you around here again :thumbup:

 

Nice Rroyo. Made me fire up a Tess LaCoyle of my own today since it has been a while since I played a female character. Unfortunately she and Virgil were mauled by a bear on their way back to the Crash Site from Arballah's House at level 4.

Created a bunch of characters with a similar naming concept. We have Tess LaCoyle - the deceased technomage; Ayrel LeMentalist - Human Female mage with air, force, white necro; Rang Ermage - Male Elf Ranger with melee, bow, natu re; E. Vilmage - Male Dwarf mage with force, black necro, fire; Sol Diering - Male Halfling soldier with melee, dodge, persuasion, firearms, gamble; Sly Tof'and - Male Gnome Rogue with prowling, throwing, pick pocket, phantasm, pick locks; Mekkan Ical Smith - Male Half Elf technologist with mechanical, smithy, melee.

Not really sure which one I want to play first...

 

Bet he puts WoW on instead.

 

RunAwayScientist: Charonte as accurate as to what I used - Active Desktop. This is just a hand-made wallpaper with spaces for a clock, calendar, and a Sysmetrix.

 

Forget that other picture - here's the real-deal:



If I can ever get the needles on the guages to quit floating in mid-air while they're in the middle of the dial I'll see if anyone wants the SysMetrix.
And yes, everything below Tess' stats and the Winamp is functional.

 

I particularly like the use of the Arcanum time-of-day indicator. Does it actually rotate from day to night in accordance with the actual time of day?

 

Not that it's anywhere near as clever as Rroyo's, but I got bored the other day and thought I'd give it a shot with OpenBox and a GTK theme.

Sorta worked, but I still need to fix the fonts on the Conky script along with a couple of small bugs in the theme:
