safari + eurostile looks good to me...

Kerning is tight, letters look a little jumbled up with that font.

. Komisar, caesar was at least futhering the conversation with a comment on the DP. your posting antics seem to be very...Hypocritical. You call others post-whores yet you continue posting one- line jabs at other members. If you are not post-whoring, then what is? Your comments hardly ever further the conversation (especially as of late), and it seems as if you are TRYING to force a confrontation out of everyone else on the board.

BTW, themosco, I like your icons.

It is not a hypocritical statement, because in it i refer to myself as a post whore... so why don't you stfu. It would only be hypocritical if i said "you post whore...". And aren't you being a post whore because you are responding to my post whoring?.... And finally I know caesar and its a joke that i think most people get in this forum.... so out of all this ranting at your ranting..... STFU.... AND MOVE ON!

And why don't i just post the top ten posters for the hell of it:

Whhahhaahaaaattttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????++ +++++++


I'm not in the top10 !? time to get cracking.

I'll begin now.

Click here for my exceptional good looks

Theme: Paper & Plastic
Icons: Kill Bill + The Last Order and various ones(shown in the dock)
Adium, the best IM-app I've tried this far. Proteus4 blew up because of an illegal action.
Wallpaper: included with Paper & Plastic.
Also Shiira and Konfabulator + CeePeeYou.

iTunes is playing some good oldschool techno from the early-mid 90's. Which is my favorite kind of music.

Just me trying to explain that I ditched it. And being funny at the same time - which did not succeed.



The illegal action was to close it and the blew up part was finding all the Proteus bits on my HD. something like that. I'm not a master of the English language that's why

By badges do mean the little glyph thingies on the folders/drives? For example, you use a screwdriver on the folder in one set, does that mean that people can't use a screwdriver, or does it mean they can't cut and paste the screwdriver from your set? I ask because I don't understand what he did wrong, not because I am stirring.

it means that you can't use HIS screwdriver on YOUR icon set.

Ok kids, we're at 84 pages here on a VERY cool thread. Please exit this thread and start something elsewhere for your testosterone-fest. This is a thread for posting your desktop pics, if you wish to discuss/argue about HIG icons and the misuse of someone's icons make a new thread.

I don't want to lock this thread, so don't make me.

Now... BACK ON TOPIC.

P.S. you didn't say if you liked my desktop ?

Thanks, while on that topic, does anyone know of an app or a hack which I could use to just put the % of my charge in the menu bar?

Thanks

Yeah, I always go back to Neos after trying another theme...
I also always went back to my own completely custom made desktop pic but this one here is the first one I didn't want to change for a pretty long time now - thanks to LordSith for inspiring me to use and edit it a little bit (and of course thanks to the person who originally created this picture!!! I want more!)
