I think I did one of those before, but it broke my computer. Fupping thing. I think the one I downloaded made noises as well, which was very annoying:p

Nice job

I've been making my own wallpapers in PSP for years, simple enough to do, and have fiddled with windoz shell, making my own icons, skins etc..

One of the first I made & Still use it...

Yes, but seeing as that seems to have no imagery on it, I felt that linking directly to that page would lead to the original question losing some of it's impact and intent...

I'm not wondering if it can be done, I'm wondering:
a) if someone will do it
b) what creative and interesting changes they'll make to it that will be worth further discussion

Oops, sorry - misunderstood the original question.

I'd do it, except I'd just end up using some ugly boring car with a granny style speedo. I might as well just paint my desktop grey - apparently I have no taste in cars.

Is anyone going to try and do the CPU usage "speedo" too?

Click here or here


Check the resolution on your display and replace the imagesize: value with whatever you need.
You'll only get images that are the perfect size for your monitor!!
