Squeaker 89 March 20, 2012 Share March 20, 2012 No, mine is One Piece, though I'll probably put up some One Piece MLP crossovers at some point, I change it every couple months. Everything else is pony though, so it is actually probably kinda crooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Milk 78 March 21, 2012 Share March 21, 2012 Mine isn't...and I'm suddenly wondering why. Don't get me wrong, I love the Beauty and the Beast wallpaper I have now, but I've been wanting to change for weeks and never knew to what. A-der...

Apple Bloom 2,933 March 21, 2012 Share March 21, 2012 Who here is courageous enough to go the mile of making their computer desktop pony-themed? If you did, feel free to share your desktop here! I'm curious as to how many people took the route I did and set their backgrounds to be 20% cooler I know this was specifically for pony themed desktops but we already have a thread for posting desktops, pony or otherwise so I merged your thread into it.

Sounds good -- I actually hadn't noticed this other one until now, sounds like the merge was a good decision. What has fanfiction has Ashbad written lately?

codythecody 36 March 23, 2012 Share March 23, 2012 Decided to give Linux a shot on my laptop with Ubuntu 10.4 and it's pretty great. My battery life is better and it doesn't get as hot compared to running Windows 7. I still prefer Windows 7 for desktop use though, but Linux seems to be better on laptops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashbad 969 March 26, 2012 Share March 26, 2012 Well, I've gone through the long process of making Windows 7 customized completely so that it's Ashbad-optimized, so I can be really efficient in it. I've configured how I have my user directory setup so that everything is in an easy to reach directory, created quite a few nifty PowerShell (and batch equivalent) scripts in my user directory so I can do pretty much anything with just a few keystrokes, wiped out the desktop again (I started putting stuff there again, shame on me), changed my shell from Windows Explorer to #E, and many other things. I tried out #E simply out of curiosity, and was thinking of dumping it for its default design being so clunky and slow; after an hour or two of tweaking though, I cut out 80% of the components I would never use or added to the clunkiness, minimalized the design, and customized the remaining components for pure functionality, and this is what I came up with: So far, the makeover has been rather swell, as I've gotten accustomed and efficient with my new workspace, more so than I was before it. 1 What has fanfiction has Ashbad written lately?

pondus30 152 March 26, 2012 Share March 26, 2012 (edited) I usually use two screens but my 42" is off now so this is my main screen, i got 2300 pictures changing at a speed of 1 min, i don't quite remember where i got them from, or who made them, but yeah, thats my screen. (and ofcourse all the 2300 pics are all pony related.) for anyone who wants to know the reason i use the standard windows 2000 lookling win 7 is because its a gaming desktop, nothing else, and its all for reducing lags/etc when im ingame Edited March 26, 2012 by pondus30 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it sounds like it's worth it if you in exchange get an incredibly cool, huge set of wallpapers. Just curious, on average, what are the common types of image files for the wallpapers, and what's their general resolution (And if applicable with something like JPG and PNG, what's the compression ratio)?
