The Post your desktop thread

[Blightmare]

That's intentional but I can change that for consistency.

 

And by downloaded brushes, those don't come standard with PS, but they've been around in various brush packs since at least CS3 if not earlier. I remember downloading the GIMP conversion and flat out raping my images with em. back before I knew simplicity can sometimes be better. XD

 

Edit: Line and dot reflect added.

 

The text bothers me... I might take it out completely.

[Kirkreng]

I find the gray at the bottom distracting. Could be just me but it might look better on full black.

[Blightmare]

Lol instead of constantly uploading here and wrecking the page, I'll link to it.

 

Well, I liked how it looked better without the text and I removed the grey. here's the result.

 

I might just leave it simple like this.

It's empty but currently I can't think of anything to add without going overboard.

 

Edit: it just hit me how ironically appropriate it is that I'm stressing over all the details of a desktop about Rarity.

 

Editedit: as it looks applied to my desktop. I like it this way, think I'll leave it as is for now.

If this turns into ANOTHER pony thread I'm likely never returning to the FFA section...

It was on topic, deal with it.

I could have sworn I posted in here, but I guess I didn't. I have twelve pictures that are switched automatically

They come from various bits of everywhere. DeviantArt, Google, CGSociety, etc.

[Flyingamerboy]

WOW that's impressive.

[Blightmare]

That wide angle shot of the mountain range is from TF2 isn't it?

 

Love the one with the Dam and the Robot though.

look at this awesome banner!

[Scorpia]

if you don't mind blue, i'm borrowing the yellow jet, and the foxhound. my weakness for planes i'm afraid. not to ask too much from anyone but..how do you make the images switch on your desktop as blue described, i'd like it to switch between those jets and maybe some band wallpapers, any help, as always, i'll appreciate.

[Blightmare]

if you're using Win 7, right click on desktop and go to personalize. At the bottom of that window is "desktop background" under there you can select multiple images and how long you want it to wait in before it changes the image.

[Scorpia]

if this works i'll plus rep the shit out of you

 

it's windows Xp, i'm sure it's similar, but it won't let me select multiple images... you probably have to hold down "ctrl + some other key" to select them...

[Blightmare]

I do it so it should work. Set the time to 10 seconds to test it.

[Scorpia]

you posted your reply before i edited mine i see, i use windows xp. does that make a difference?

[Blightmare]

Well, Win xp I don't think has that feature, but there is this which is supposed to do the same thing. Can't try it as the only XP in the house is dead.

Nope, doesn't work on Pre-Win7 OS's.

[Scorpia]

alright, i'm sure someone made software for it..i'll look into it, thanks anyway people.

[Blightmare]

I linked to one, though I have no way to tell if it works well or not.

[Scorpia]

installing now, i'll keep you posted on it.

it won't work, apparently my computer is windows vista..whatever. i'll just not worry about it i guess.

+repped you for the effort Blight.

[Axeldeath]

Well I've finally made a desktop background, I spent hours trying to make a Twilight Sparkle themed one without success but it only took one attempt and an hour to do this
