Same wallpaper as i got, just i got the NV Shine theme installed.

[Syuusuke]

Because I can't choose one wallpaper, I have it rotate among these 20+ images with a program. Except the bottom last one.

Too low-res for me :(

It looks like the UNSC is attacking a rebel encampment. The Covenant wouldn't use Human AA batteries to shoot down pelicans.

It's a little too low-res for me as well (I'm at 1680x1050), but since it's a painting, it still looks pretty nice.

Melty Blood. Nice.

[Kalub]

Can I get a link to Freelancer's image? The current one is dead, and oh, does anyone know where to find some 2720x1024 wallpapers?

[InnerGoat]

www.google.com has a lot

[Kalub]

Don't you have a link to some massive library somewhere? Like a 4chan /wg/ or something like that with some sweet ones

[InnerGoat]

[ultama121]

Bloody big icons and taskbar is horrid.

Do any one you windows 7 users use the automatic wallpaper changer thats built in, if so how good is it? It sounds really good :)

Halo trial the best.

Halo trial is awesome you can't see pings and the netcode is busted :D

Also, don't use the allpaper changer, but you can set it for all different times and shit (10 seconds, 30sec, 1min, 5min, 30min, etc.)

Is there anyway to emulate a Windows 7 Aero theme with working transparency and stuff on XP? I love that start bar....

Use the "7 Plus" with WindowBlinds. The free version of Window Blinds does it. It's awesome. I just started using it yesterday to replace my old Windows 7 theme:

[Kalub]

I don't like how windowblinds has to be loaded for the theme's to be there.... sad day :(

[Reaper Man]

So I re-installed Ubuntu after I borked it by trying to manually compile the kernel for the new Nvidia drivers. I figured I may as well go 64-bit with my new install.

System Resources shouldn't be an issue if you have at least one gigabyte of RAM.

[Reaper Man]

You best be joking. Then again, it really depends what you do. I do lots of batch processing of photos, really takes up alot of RAM, I regularly get out of memory errors even though I have 2 gigs. I hope to get a 64-bit os soon to get at least 6-8 gigs of RAM.

Batch image processing? You can do that with Linux or *BSD, in which case you can use a 32-bit OS to allocate 64GB of RAM. (random source (http://www.linux.com/feature/119287), and the "problem" listed there hasn't existed in regular distributions for a while now)

I would prefer to continue using the Adobe suite, as it is industry standard. If ever they made a Linux version, I would probably do as you suggsted.

In which case I have to ask what version you're using, and why it won't run in Wine, especially if it's a batch processor, in which case they're insane if it has a GUI... Just trying to save you some money and open you up to a much higher maximum memory level.

[Reaper Man]

As far as I know, Adobe CS4 will not run in Wine. And as for batch processing, what I meant is that I process lots of images with Photoshop actions or in Adobe Bridge.

I'm back on XP, from the last time that I did one of these:

So... whoever was complaining about the size of the toolbar, they need to get over it, because switching to small icons seems to shrink the bar down to about Vista's size. I see a lot of you have that already, I just think it's funny.
