    I know that there is a "post your desktop" thread in the computers section but it's full of smelly PC users so I thought that it would be cool to have out own place to shine. If mods feel differently, lock it if you want.

    Anyway, I think it would be a cool enough place to share various obscure apps that are floating in your dock or something along with AdiumX themes or wallpapers etc..

    BTW, to take a screen shot on mac, hold Command, Shift and 4. The image will then appear on the desktop.

    I'll go first with a screeny of my desktop and my browser/ AdiumX screen layout.

    Click HERE for full screen

    Applications in Dock (in order):

    Finder
    Dashboard
    AdiumX
    Safari
    Firefox
    Neo Office
    iTunes
    Stickies
    Nice Player
    Coda
    Audacity
    System preferences
    Preview

    Dock transparency is done by using "ClearDock"

    Wallpaper available HERE.

    Show us yours!

    The iSpy window is just a window of Firefox. It's a page of Wiffy.ie that is updated constantly and it shows the most recent posts and stuff. It's kinda handy if nothing else....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,639 ✭✭✭PeakOutput


    ah i see that now i thought it was monitoring threads and telling you when they are updated...nvm


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 636 ✭✭✭conor2007

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,250 ✭✭✭babypink

    You use Vista and realplayer?

    I didn't actually think anyone used realplayer to actually view videos by choice :)

    Here's my work machine.
    picture1fc9.th.png

    If, like me, you want to turn off the superannoying unreadable shiny Leopard dock and replace it with something functional as shown here, run the following command in the Terminal:
    defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES; killall Dock
    

    Dock apps are (deep breath):
    Finder, Firefox, Mail, Skype, Chicken of the VNC, Cyberduck, Terminal, Textedit, Property List Editor, Freemind, Preview, SubEthaEdit, Smultron, Xcode, Interface Builder, Logic Express, Kontakt, Audacity, Ableton Live, Garageband, SimpleSynth, WireTap, iTunes, QuickTime, X11, OpenOffice.org, Console, Activity Monitor, Spin Control, System Preferences, Disk Utility Calculator, Super Sekkrit Project no. 1, Time Machine.

    Thanks, i guess i was hoping there was a MAGIC way of putting it here without a website address. Don't ask how i reckoned it would work. I might set up an a/c on flicker for messing. ( i have an iweb .mac site)

    I only use Vista for watching live footie match's online, none of the P2P TV programs will work on the mac. Im not sure why I have real player opened there, I actually rarely use it, Quicktime or VLC forever!!! :)

    Pretty damn fine machine.. whats your setup?

    That's my desktop machine: PowerMac Dual G5 2.0GHz - 3GB RAM - 2x160GB - Apple Cinema Display 23" @ 1600 x 1024. The macserver machine in the screen on the left is a PowerMac Dual G4 500MHz running Tiger Server.

    I'd like to be able to say that the desktop wallpaper is a photo of my car . . . but I can't . . . :( It's an Audio R8 in case you're interested :)

    Those desktop icons are coooool. How'd you set that up?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 862 ✭✭✭Simon201


    Also you can post your screen shot and have it appear here without linking to any external server

    Like this -
    attachment.php?attachmentid=129556&stc=1&d=1285962433

    by using the 'insert image' to link to the boards uploaded image link.

    (sorry I've just got a boring ordinary desktop!)

    The icons can be changed using CandyBar 3, I can't remember exactly where I got my ones, but there are loads of them if you just google it, InterfaceLIFT have a good selection.
