Post your desktops

Got some new fancy video backgrounds. Found some other good ones there as well. You can get free dreamscenes but they contain the websites logo. Not a big deal for me but might be for some.

Love it more than my own desktop, I could happily look at that for months! great job!

 

[Safinn]

Wow thats realy nice!! I could just buy an Imac just for that lol.

 

[InsaneNutter]

I ended up not been too keen on the other background so I have ended up with this at the moment.

 

[Kitarii]

Heh, is that by the same guy?
I think I remember seeing that one.
It's pretty cool.

By the way, is the dock a standard feature in Vista or did you grab an extension?

 

[InsaneNutter]

Yep it’s by the same guy, I’ve been having a hard time deciding which one I like best.

Vista doesn’t have a dock by default, I’m using the free version of Object Dock.

It does have the sidebar by default, I hide that and just have the notepad gadget on the desktop.

 

[Kitarii]

What does the sidebar do?

Everyone is getting a dock, haha!

I'm the same, the side bar just tends to piss me off. I have A digital clock, notepad and weather gadgets just placed on my desktop

Will post up mine when i actually find a background i like

EDIT

This may sound like a very noob-esque question, but how might i get dreamscene to work?

I've forgotten

Cheers

Its only in Vista Ultimate so if you carnt find it that might be why!

Right click on desktop > personalise > desktop background then click the dropdown to the left of the browse button and select a dream scene.

Edit - try this if you have home premium

Can you download other dreamscene backrounds from the internet?

Yes you can, you can use your own videos too.
I don’t know of any good websites you can get them from but ive uploaded the few I have to Digiex, Link.

 

[MunkyMagikUK]

Cheers for the link InsaneNutter, I've been reading through the comments and people are saying it's slowing their systems down a fair bit, so I might leave it.

Cheers anyway!

Managed to get the 3D cube to work in Ubuntu

 

[Safinn]

Ahh yes iv seen 3D cube before but I could not find it anywhere. Does it work on vista? If yes where can i get it?

I get all my dreamscenes from here. Hopefully the list will grow thats on Digiex and I'll never half to go back. Except for a few premium dreams. Though, I'll post whatever I get here!

It shouldn't be slowing down any systems. Though these aren't supose to be running on a system with a Intel Celeron. Its barly running windows. Couldn't possibly handle running a looping video in the background. If you have a Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core 2 Quad, Or Extreme processor these should run fine. With very little cpu usage, Though if you have a NVIDIA GPU also you can download the NVIDIA PureVideo decoder which will let the GPU do the decoding. Allowing less CPU usage. For those will terrible performance, just use a regular background till you upgrade your computer. As I have a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 and i'm running 10 programs and windows dreamscene (astorids) plus all the other background process running and the cpu usage is between 5-10%

Nope it doesn’t work on any Windows OS, however you could try something like this, its not free though.

My new one, bit of an awesome Halo 3 screenshot of Me and some mates on the last level!

 

[Trebor]

I Keep forgetting how good Halo 3 can look in screenshots. Also that's a screenie that only a few people will have and is personal to you MunkyMagik so goodjob there. If I manage to get one from UT3 I'll see if I can make it into a nice desktop and post it here.
