Due to the overflow (exaggerated ) of topics regarding rating peoples desktops, please post your desktop in here where people can rate it on the fallowing subjects.

Rate from 1 (Terrible) to 10 (Great!)


Any new topic created will be closed without warning and a notice will be giving with a link back to this topic. So please! To save us techs the time, POST IN HERE! Please! No flaming. Just because someone has OS (A) and you use OS (B) that's no reason to hate someone.

---------
Explanation of each category.

Overall - Does NOT have to be the average of the other three. Just pick what you think you feel it should be!

Originality - Ever seen something like this before? If not, rank it high.

Style - The theme or desktop background.

Neatness - If you see icons all over the place and can't even find the Hard Drive (Or my computer) then you might want to give that a low rating.


I'll start it off!

neatness:6/10, organized, but cluttered at teh same time

overally:5/10
actually, 6/10 because limewire pwns.

Nicole, just so you know, that is truly Vista. I will prove it to you if I have to, but you can also ask Fumetsu or Mbridges. Or I can quote something from my previous thread...... Hmm that seems like a great idea!

Dang....... The thread got closed because Fumetsu made this thread so.... They closed all the threads about rating desktops and asked to post them here.

But heres the former thread http://runescape.salmoneus.net/forums/inde...howtopic=123075 read the 2nd post or if you wish, read the whole thing and see what everybody else has to say.

Very nice desktop, the wallpaper looks pretty cool too. Doesn't it get annoying not having any shortcuts though?


Here be mine.

It's usually packed out with random files all over the place, but I tidied it out out last week (I just brushed it all under my My Documents folder ).

I have all my shortcuts pinned in the start menu. I find I wouldn't use them if they were on the desktop, the start menu is quicker. The background is just a default vista one. They're several ones like it which are nice.

Anyway onto your desktop...

I like how you've hidden the names, it gives it a neat look I don't usually like icons, but the way you have done it gets a 9/10 from me. The desktop background isn't that original, but it doesn't really matter to be honest. Overall I give it 9/10

not mine but image wat wat'd it be like if u had this desktop.

Hey what about giving me some credit for inventing the idea of these threads!

No need Sam. People have been posting desktop rate threads for a long time. It wasn't until now that they were being posted a bit more (4 or so). I personally think it was just a fad and was going to fade soon. But not anymore. =/

Mine...

I kind of sort things by what they do.. Games top right, Browsers and IMers top left.. Paint and media creating programs bottom left, and media editors on the bottom right.. I keeps everything in check for me.


And my special bar on the top


EDIT: Fruitpastles, I really like your's

Don't ask why, i love neatness I don't know why but the background is pretty sweet.



EDIT: This is an oldish pic, the icons are in a different order now, so the match in what they do.

overall: 8/10
originality 8,5/10

Neatness 7/10

Yeah, but this thread was made so people could stop copying my thread.

Sorry mate, but my point was that you weren't the first ever person, not even on this board, to post a rate my desktop thread.

But to get on topic and not get in trouble, here is my desktop.


Edit: Yes i know the theme isn't all custom and whatnot. That is because i recently changed it back to the default after having my custom theme for many months. I felt like a change recently and decided for the default. I do like my icons and I even made the one for my Runescape folder.

This thread was not made for that purpose...it was made to stop the spam of all the "Rate my Desktop" topics.

It isn't even spam though because this is the Tech Discussion board and we are discussing our desktops. It was more for organization to pull all the rate desktop threads into one so as to keep the other discussion threads from being bumped off the page and never read again.

Well, anyways, here's mine:

If you arn't going to follow the rules of this thread, then post your thoughts somewhere else.

What rules am I breaking then? We are just having a discussion as to what the purpose of this thread was. I notice that you edited the first post in the thread with rules, but those were written after i posted.

It's the Offsprings "Splinter" Logo.

Wallpaper by KoL

I like your background Ashish. I rate it an 8 because it looks quite real though i can still tell it's fake.

This thread is to rate your desktop and others, not to discuss. If you wish to start a discussion, please make a new thread. Plus I can read through your rhetoric ways and it's quite obvious of your flaming.

Heres mine custom disgned except for big mac.

wierd 5/10

How's it wierd?

I give Wazir an 8/10 for is unique wallpaper. I like it a bit. Wish the guy had a face though.

That is an Islamic Hero who died fighting in the way of God. He is kind of equal to a saint, and in Islam pictures are not favored, so they didn't show his face, because he is Holy, and they could make a mistake when picturing his face, which may not be exactly like the real thing.
