MotS

Recommended Posts

Smart. I've had several in the past, although this one is my favourite = http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/1434/cholerae1nx.th.jpg

 

Right now I'm using one I've made of all my mates plus selected pics that amuse me, including a cat being held up at gun-point, a Peter "Che Guervara" Griffin and a cracking poster detailing the crimes of capitalism :D

Nice one Vaanic, thats a cool background. I like the oblivion one too, I assume that['s an official one MotS?

 

Since this is kinda on topic, http://www.digitalblasphemy.com/dbhome.shtml is a cracking resource for damn good looking backgrounds. There is only 30 on offer for free but those ones are ace, for the most part. Anyone have any other snazzy resources?

Explanation: On my Windows machine, a script runs automatically every logon that does the following:

  • Kills Explorer.
  • Starts an XTerm locally, and lets it hang until it finds an X server.
  • Starts my favorite window manager on another machine via SSH, and lets it hang until it finds an X server.
  • Starts an X server locally, which then immediately starts hosting the two applications that were waiting for it.

Thus, every time I log in, my taskbar and icons die right off the bat as Explorer goes to Hell, leaving me with my wallpaper only. The wallpaper is displayed for about half a second as my X server starts up. Once that's happened, I get dumped right into the remote machine's window manager.

 

I needed to take advantage of the half-second that my wallpaper is displayed to remind me that I'm on Windows, and that I shouldn't do something stupid.

 

I needed a wallpaper that described Windows perfectly.

 

This seemed just perfect.

Wow. I'm not going to bother attempting to offer a solution to that (because I don't have one :P), but also since you probably don't want to change this state of affairs as they typify why you hate Windows :D
