I usually have something more slick than... human, but I couldn't help myself after finding the wallpaper
Edit: Here's the Rainmeter Skin Config
This is fantastic.

Cheers but I figured it out after. You need MS Visual C++ 2008 installed.

OK, haven't posted here in quite some time so here I go.
Oh and click to see the og size versions, if you want the source i'm sorry I don't have them at hand, but specify which you want and i'll surely find them for you one way or another.
if nsfw i'll remove, but w/e it's art anyway (i.e. drawing)
Sorry for the mega post, but I love most of these so evenly I couldn't just post one Like I said let me know which you want and i'll find it for you. But bear in mind quite a few of these were too small for desktop dimensions (width less than 1440) or iPad dimensions (height less than 1024), so I had to modify some via PS too extend their width/height to look right on my MBP or iPad..

On my home desktop, went back to a wallpaper of my favorite game of this generation:

Background was stolen from a poster earlier in the thread... but I wanted to show off my layout as well, so here it is GAF!

listen to the mad man
I'm looking for a Sticky Note program for W7.
Here's what I ideally want:
- Assign a keyboard shortcut to hide/show the sticky note. On the Mac, I use the Dashboard sticky notes and hot corners. I want something similar here. I don't like the built-in MS Sticky note program for this reason.
- Automatically save the note on the hard drive. Ideally let me pick where it saves it, so the notes can be saved into my dropbox and I can see them from abroad.
- Allow me to use 1 or more on the screen at once, and independently customize the colours of different notes.
- Low RAM overhead, low visual profile, no processor use.
Any suggestions?

I'm glad so many people like my Emma Stone desktop. For anyone trying to replicate it, I've updated the zip file to include CPU, RAM, SWAP and HDD config's as well as the start orb and some fixes to the old ones that resulted in cut off text.
Funny that D4Danger's great clock gadget has been brought up again, I made a desktop using it last year and a rainmeter theme which you can find here.

The original background is this, although the JPG is pretty compressed. I shifted the colors to suit my needs.

Well here's my former wallpaper:
Some great Bengus artwork.
Some great Bengus artwork.
yeah potplayer is based off it, actually is a pretty fine player, just that it's not well known. There isn't really an official homepage for it either (that's actually a pet peeve of mine regarding software - I hate it when software doesn't have well-kept homepages)
Aside from that though it's pretty much been the best player i've used, and i've used all the ones listed plus extras. Looks real nice by default, has good skin support, you can configure it to your heart's content, great on CPU (especially with DXVA enabled), and plays everything i've thrown at it with the least amount of tweaking.
A word of caution with SPlayer though: although it is a really nice player at face value, it does have a nasty habit of changing your associations (even ones not related to video files) and messing up windows' default way of thumbnailing movie files. This happens regardless of whether you actually set it to be the default player or not. Nothing horribly destructive but something they need to fix. When they do though, I will definitely start using it though because it's my favorite player otherwise.
off topic though.

I've seen multiple variations of this picture. Anyone know the original source/artist? I'd like to check out more of their work.
Thanks, here you go;Cosmonaut X said:

I'd make a thread just to recommend this artist, seriously awesome stuff in there (check out his entire gallery).
But note that some of these I have modified to fit the width of my screen, since some are too small. If you really want THOSE (mod versions), just PM.

You know, I think the clock is way cool, but it feels redundant cuz I don't autohide the taskbar... are there any advantages I'm not thinking of to such a clock or is it all just style-based?D4Danger said:I made that but I can't remember when I posted it so I uploaded it again

Please share that wallpaper.
Please please please.
crisdecuba said:
no, no advantages at all. It's just a gadget I made because somebody asked and I had nothing better to do. I just thought the clock was kinda cool.
If I'm honest I never even see my desktop. I use alt+tab all the time and my monitor sleeps after a minute of inactivity but it looks nice when you login so I keep it around.
damn that's nice
