Every time I look at this, it makes me feel like I'm in the park again :)

I didn't find a thread for this, but please delete/lock it if I'm wrong.

Here's mine, scaled down by a factor of 2. It's from a visit to Austria 39 years ago this fall.

I have the SDSS shot of M-51 as my desktop, but am unsure of how to post it here. It was my inspiration when researching redshift differentials in apparently-interacting galaxies.

Use the "Insert Image" button just above the reply box and type in the http-location of your image.
Click for instance "Quote" on my post to see how it's done.

Thanks. I was a programmer in the command-line era, and I don't want to blow up someone's forum with an image that is improperly formatted or too big.

Beautiful turbo. Do you think I'm trying to blow some..one's..forum...*clears throat*

I do not think it is too big.
As long as the width is less than about 1000 pixels you should be okay.

Nice Turbo,

Here's mine, I prefer to think of it as: natural subtle complexity... beauty...

All my icons live on my toolbar below the image, where they should be, hehe... others may disagree, but it works for me.

Rhody...

P.S. If you have Windows 7, just use the snipping tool to capture, save as a .jpg file and attach as a thumbnail, piece of cake... it will be under the thumbnail file limit size.

What is the snipping tool?


[EDIT] Oh! How 'bout that!

nice, drizzle

This is mine, okay I tweaked it a little bit

Dave,

Use it all the time when my images are too big, way easier than resizing using some photo program. Just a little trick, now two of us have it.

Rhody...

 

[Saitama]

Here's mine :)

Here's mine :)

Nice!

Do you have a caption for it?

 

[Saitama]

Nice!

Thanks!
No, never thought of it..
BTW, in your wallpaper, who's that person? Is that you?

I like both of them. Maybe I'll use this one.

I wish!

No, she's another member here, who posted in the thread for proliferating PF.
She earned gold membership for another one like this one.
She also happens to be my favorite student here on PF.

Nothing fancy

 

[Adyssa]

I've had this wallpaper for more than a year now, I can't bring myself to change it. :)

 

[sourlemon]

Here's mine :)

This is pretty neat. I like the big clock on it. Is it a mac?

 

[Adyssa]

Running Internet Explorer? :P

 

[sourlemon]

Ha, good catch Adyssa. I don't know why I missed the window 7 look. I guess the bottom icons fool me. I wonder if the middle of the wallpaper is an actual music player or just picture.

Cute Don,

Lets call it RhodTurb or TurboRhode, I like that better.

Rhody...

No, that's windows. I have used a rainmeter skin and i took a screenshot of my desktop.
I imported the screenshot in PowerPoint and added a bubble gradient on it so that it looks more cool.

Since this thread began, I've added 6 new themes. Change is good.

 

[tenchotomic]

Here's mine for quite some time now:

Any guesses about this one?

 

[Saitama]

Just had a computer format. This is my new desktop:-
