Just for future reference, the limit is 800x600 at 100kB. I've been giving a little breathing room (about 50 pixels and 10kB - 15kB respectively) since DOS and Windows Explorer read file sizes differently and for scalability reasons (some desktops aren't 4:3). Before anyone starts bitching again, I didn't make up the rule so don't start complaining to me. This has already been in effect for some time now (over 2 years IIRC) and was put into effect by Xciter if memory serves. Now if you want to talk to him about some kind of compromise, go for it. Its not my call, but if its reasonable I'll back it.

Someone I shall not mention displayed it in chat, and he happened to be there to see it.

Actually, I'm using 1024x768. I'm just using the 1920x1440 sheild orb with the background set to "stretch". It resizes it to what you see there.

I had been meaning to update you all on my latest setup since my desktops change probably every week or two. Unfortunately I've been extremely busy and my host lost a router and forgot to inform me of the IP change with the other router (thx Toby
). It would have seriously addressed the lack of
REAL women in this thread so...enjoy

hell yah..... thats bad a$$.....can i get that from you? ill tell you what it looks like....
has anyone seen the Lithograph of the Rockwell/Boeing B-1B Lancer, going supersonic over a lake and large sonic rooster tails are skyrocketing upward from behind it? its a fake image made to look real as if the artis was actually there.
This is the pic:
well that B-2A Pic looks very similar in design...fake image but artist rendered too appear that he snapped the pic while a B2 flew over him.

Yeah, I don't think my girlfriend would be very happy (like at all) if I have some other woman on my desktop- especially if she thought the girl looked better than her.

For real.
Thats playing with fire dude. I hope you like sleeping on the couch because thats what you'll be doing for a long ass time if you did that and it pissed her off.

heh, what does it matter?
You guys read too much into things sometimes. I would hope that when I'm married or involved my wife/girlfriend would have enough faith in me to know that she is the only one that really matters. Afterall, I have no true relationship with a desktop
If that simply isn't the way things work and there is no trust amongst partners anymore. Well....I guess I'll die a bitter and lonely man. Lothar, I'll ask that you don't rub in that you found your soul mate every chance you get, k thx. Some of us haven't been as fortunate as you

after looking at several of your desktops and their shear emptiness i decided to test this theory.....
i do kind of like it, but i may go back to the cluttered mess of icons. everything in QL is daily usage. i left MS Office XP Icons on dekstop for a reason......some friends of mine have been needed Office XP quite frequently lately so i left those out there. everything else has been moved to "Backup"
AND YES....I FINALLY LEARNED HOW TO RESIZE!!!
