What does your desktop look like?
« on: April 16, 2004, 08:07:15 PM »
I thought a similar thread was quite interesting on Mozillazine, so I thought I'd run it here as well :-)

My desktop, half size
My desktop, full size

The thread on mozillazine

Please don't IMG your desktops, URL them.  Otherwise forum page width goes bonkers.

I put this in alternative operating systems as it's not Amiga-specific, and more likely than not, most replies aren't going to be strictly Amiga-related :-)

Where can I get that A1200 backdrop ?

It was in the OS4 CAM a month or two ago.

Just looked it up:
"Blue Nostalgia by PixelArt/Jean-Yves Auger" in the Feb 2004 issue.

just click on that link it should load as an image. Many geocities users rename images to txt to get them to load.

IE only.

Wow.  Sure you didn't fake any of that? :-)

If you didn't, I have to say, that's the best-looking Amiga desktop I've seen.

And they say Mac users are image obsessed!

There's a significant difference between "us" and "them Mac users".  AmigaOS by default is a very basic-looking OS.  MacOS's default look is what most Mac users tend to use, give or take a few tweaks.  We put more effort into it :-)
