Just something I want to add....WHY HAVENT WE STICKIED WALLPAPERS YET??????....just seems like we get alot of random posts about wallpapers, and there is no single place to go and find them later! IDK may just be silly ,but i think a nice addition possible with a wallpaper heading???????

technicks May 7, 2007 09:12 PM

Yeah that would be cool. We can make a cool wallpaper link thread.:D
And then sticky it of course.:)

Here's a good collection of widescreen wallpapers. Jurko.net

Except the whole "CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE BEEN SELECTED TO WIN TWO FREE IPOD NANOS!" thing that plays every time the page loads. So just turn down the volume when you visit. :shadedshu

Mostly space though.. When I find my old bookmarks I'll bring you some REAL art, that can be used as wallpapers. :)

My favourite car :D

I'm currently using the one right in the centre and if anyone else uses it I'll kill 'em.

I think that wallpapers are a waste of resources, because most people don't stare at their desktops...

hat Jun 3, 2007 08:32 PM

How does it waste resources..?

Heh. you must be the only one then. :laugh:

Although I dont when on windows.

I do however sit and just play with the dock on OS X... so a good desktop is very important!

Ripper3 Jun 16, 2007 09:37 PM

Yeah, using up an extra ~3MB of memory REALLY hogs things.
It's just aesthetics. Just like everything else. Everybody wants a beautiful car, but when are you ever really going to sit and stare at it? For me, I'd rather have a driver's car than a beautiful car, but it doesn't mean I'm not a vain son-of-a-gun heh

I do; that's because I mainly have scantily clad women on mine - but thats not the point!

Casheti Jun 16, 2007 10:27 PM

I stare at the Supra and wish it was mine :cry:

Ripper3 Jun 16, 2007 11:06 PM

technicks, you have awesome taste, cash... not so much... I never wanted the Supra as much as I wanted a Skyline, or a number of old muscle cars, or even a Caterham Seven R500

Casheti Jun 16, 2007 11:08 PM

Lol I'm young.. can't blame me :p
