Absolutely. I thought there was something missing when I logged into GC. Nice to have you back Drac and a lovely desktop that is.

This is my desktop, it's the same one that I use on my vista partition. I just moved it over when I set up LInux Mint, which is where I seem to spend all my computer time these days.
It's one of the first images I made when I first found Gimp back in April of last year and I still like it so it stays where it is.

That's lovely Caz. I like the reflection.

Thanks, Erisian. I based it on a tutorial I found over at Gimp Wisdom, I think it's in the design section. Took me ages to do, especially the planet and comet/asteroid impact, well worth the time spent though.

caz: i really love the glass text. i've had that tutorial bookmarked for some time but i thought it looked time consuming, so i haven't got round to trying. seeing your beautiful picture makes me think i should though!

Thanks, AnMal.
It did take me quite a long time to do but I think I could do it faster now, I've had a lot of practice with Gimp since then. I love going through these tutorials as they teach me so many things I didn't know.

Really nice caz.

Thanks, he4rty.

Looked like a fun thread so I thought I'd throw mine in.

Nothing spectacular. My wallpaper rotates through a couple hundred images but I snapped one I liked. I blacked out some of my conky as well.

I just installed linux mint 13 and I love it. Good bye ubuntu, it was fun while it lasted.

The wallpaper I made myself.

Here's my current work desktop (at half size)


Made of nine individual photos stitched together using Hugin.

WOW! Kevin, what a beautiful setting. Nice job of the stitching.

Where does a monitor that wide even fit? Do you have like a special room for it or something?

It's spread across 2 monitors. Some of my colleagues have 4 monitor setups.

My current home desktop is very simple, featuring my entry in the Faceless II challenge on DPChallenge.

I would've never guess that was 9 photos stitched.
Not sure where those photos were taken but it sure reminds me of Appalachia. Just so serene.

Here is my latest look. Fedora 18 /w Mate Desktop & Compiz.

paynekj: the 2-screen thing is beautiful and no sign of the stitching, but i love the "faceless" picture!

I'm running Partha's amazing Gimp 2.9 for Mac OS X. This is my MacBook Pro desktop, still running Snow Leopard. I'm resisting the upgrade till it's just not possible to avoid. I use mostly non-Apple apps for my needs.

Path Finder - kills Apple's Finder
Butler - multi function user interface app, gives me the list of apps in menubar
QuickSilver - search and launch app on left, just amazing

I list these all on my own site. So glad to find this site, have a few GIMP questions from time to time.

Andy, I would love to try out Pathfinder, I find the Finder in Mountain Lion makes it hard to find things.

I list my favorite Mac apps on my site... GIMP is on there of course, with many other free ones.

I'm getting blocked from putting an address on here, so just google my name. You'll find it.

Path Finder is a monster, worth every penny. Once you start using it, the Apple Finder feels like a toy.
