post your desktop computer wallpaper

[gedzum]

Trying out a new background and I finally figured out how to remove the bar for the CPU temp monitor, so now I can put temp next to CPU usage. Also changed the font to Segoe UI to give it the Windows 8 font look :winktongue: It's a subtle difference. Oh, and I staggered the monitoring bars along the bridge

 

[ttsoldier]

damnit.

Where do you guys get these pictures?

I just use the default windows images and have it on shuffle. LOL

 

[gedzum]

LOL. I usually search for something like cityscapes, landscapes etc and look for something that catches my eye and a particular colour scheme depending on mood

I sometimes use those windows themes. They added some nice ones since last time I checked: Themes - Microsoft Windows

I use this Windows 8 app to get some of my wallpapers. Backgrounds Wallpapers HD app for Windows in the Windows Store

I'm using the mii system skin 2 for my system monitoring as well as time and date: mii system skin 2 by ~abu46 on deviantART

and I'm using Enigma for weather and skype desktop icon: Enigma Suite | Rainmeter, desktop customization tool

Just changed the font and sizes on the mii system skin to Segoe UI font size 8, but for date and time I set it to 12

I should mention, in order for the system monitoring to work you need the relevant application. In my case, I am using CoreTemp and MSI afterburner for CPU and GPU respectively

Please do share it if you add the snow effect. :smile:

 

[gedzum]

Yup will do. I need to look around for some tutorials since I've never done it before, but it should be a nice learning experience. Hope I can get it done before the festivities end :grin:

Sorry took longer than expected. Got a bit busy with prepping for Christmas Also, since I'm using Photoshop elements, some of the commands were in different places from the tutorial I was watching. Took me a while to find them. Anyway here is my attempt:



I hope it's ok. Didn't get to spend as much time as I'd like, so I hope to refine it in the future :sweaty:

P.S Merry Christmas to you all

Oh btw, if anyone is interested, the tutorial I used was:

I have a very nice one on my MacBook Pro. I made it using Photoshop, I predownloaded an all-black monochrome flat Apple logo with no lighting effects etc so all the colour etc on it was added by me.
