Any Good Desktop Images?

<div class="IPBDescription">Need a new one......</div> Well, my desktop image is kinda crappy and I want a new one. The ones from Windows are kinda lame, and I wanted something more interesting.

Anyways, does anyone know where I can find a good desktop image? Like sites and so on?

    <a href='http://www.themexp.org' target='_blank'>www.themexp.org</a> is the best place to go for customizing your computer, they have like 10,000 desktops and they get like 10 new ones every day. Go buy StyleXP while your at it, its actually pretty sweet.

    DONT BUY STYLE XP!!!
    I have a theme patch that works if you really want it. The ability to change your UI doesnt cost $25.

    Besides the interface is horrible and ugly. With the patch you can do it all right from your desktop properties.

    edit/ try the patch from the stylexp site first, if that doesnt work I'll send you mine.

    i used two of the shirow ones and two of the gunnm ones... this guy does a f***ing spankass job with his material.

    wait, is it a REAL fusion reactor? What's it do? I'm assuming it doesn't generate power because then all the energy problems of the world would be solved :>

    Just extract it to C:\windows\resources\themes

    Depending on how the creator packed thier skin you may need to go into that folder and click on the .theme file, but most should open through desktop properties under either "themes" or "appearance" tabs.

    BTW...Hyper Geek...I wanna say thats cool, but its annoyingly large.

    Why exactly are there ladders leading down to seemingly dangerous and possibly deadly electric-looking-like-thing-a-ling sparks?
  • Psycho-Kinetic_Hyper-GeekPsycho-Kinetic_Hyper-Geek Join Date: 2002-11-18 Member: 9243Banned, Constellation
    Well the thing is that I'm not hosting it myself and the other picture on the site was far too small to be used as a detailed desktop image.

    Anyway thats not actually my desktop, I use a larger version of this
    <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/uploads/post-7-1059366185.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'>
    Which is something I made myself, If anyone wants a larger scale copy I can mail it to em if they want.

    Also the ladders are there so you can get down and do work on the machines.
