Dec/Holiday 2006 Desktop Screenshots

Since no one has started one and there didn't seem to be an appropriate thread to merge this to, I'll start things off:

gaekwad2 · 2nd December 2006, 11:41

Attempt at an album art mosaic wallpaper, still a bit too busy but the best I could come up with without making them completely unrecognisable.

fc*uk · 2nd December 2006, 11:43

Well, I did not spend too much time with it... but the windows security firewall became a pain in my rear end. It seemed to me like every time I clicked something, it had another warning message for me. If I remember correctly this was with RC1, so maybe things have changed a bit since then...

mikm · 3rd December 2006, 00:10

Yeah, that's a bit annoying. Fwih, they're working hard to make it appear less.

ScorLibran · 3rd December 2006, 00:59

Haven't changed in a while.

cooky560 · 3rd December 2006, 14:27

looks cool

I am still using Windows Classic and no background, seems to work well

If you love your country, move Winamp.

cooky560 · 8th December 2006, 09:34

I have decided to opt for a more christmassy background, so I changed the background from "(none)" to "Snowy Trees"

Widdykats · 8th December 2006, 10:59

^ Where does "Snowy Trees" live?

Ah yes, that was a WB skin last year i belive, where'd you get it?

Widdykats · 8th December 2006, 12:33

^ Thanks! Yeah, I really like that...now, mebbe someone will...

Here it is
How do you open this?

gaekwad2 · 8th December 2006, 13:51

You have to install Windowblinds (at your own risk!).

randman · 8th December 2006, 13:53

You have to have a program called Windowblinds to use that I think.

(Damn! Too late, too slow and too old!)

Widdykats · 8th December 2006, 14:04

^Nevah! Can you just get The Wallpaper?

And thank you!

gaekwad2 · 8th December 2006, 14:13

Maybe you can open the package with 7zip (or WinRAR? not sure), otherwise I'm sure Psythik will send you the wp separately.

randman · 8th December 2006, 14:14

Change the file extension from .suite to .zip and extract the contents. The wallpaper is in there somewhere.

(Dammit! Beaten again!

)

gaekwad2 · 8th December 2006, 14:22

Not really, your solution works with any zipper.

Widdykats · 8th December 2006, 16:05

Thanks guys!

Psythik · 8th December 2006, 16:32

The wallpaper is actually not included in the pack. Here's a non-widescreen version of it:

Widdykats · 8th December 2006, 17:08

Thanks, but I extracted it!

I did it myself!

Seeeee

I wouldn't let me load the whole thumbnail thing!

Woops! Wrong one...oh well...

Widdykats · 8th December 2006, 19:18

Finally!

Razzinno · 8th December 2006, 19:45

Found this while looking for other versions of Psythik's background:

alas, it only came in that size...

Widdykats · 8th December 2006, 20:08

Wow! That's way nice, too!

How do you "shrink" a taskbar? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

The size of the taskbar varies based on which visual style you are using. Each has its own task bar design, of a certain size.

[Goldilocks voice]
Some are fat. Some are skinny. Some are juuuuust right.
[/Goldilocks voice]

But one thing you can do (with any visual style, or with the one that comes with Windows) is right click on an open area of the task bar and make sure "Lock the Taskbar" is unchecked, then click-and-drag the top edge of the task bar up or down.

(You can likewise drag the entire task bar to any edge of the screen.)

When you're done, turn "Lock the Taskbar" back on to keep it from being moved or resized inadvertently.

Widdykats · 8th December 2006, 23:45

I'll try! Thanks, Scor!

Link Plz, i like it. I'll use my own window blinds skin, however.

Widdykats · 9th December 2006, 13:25

Take the one razzino has in his post. It loads without the taskbar!

Widdykats · 9th December 2006, 13:32

Sorry, but you can't upload after you post ..when you edit so...
