Using this board in Internet Explorer 8

Chagen

I'm using a new background right now, but Windows keeps resizing it to fit my screen. How can I set it so it's shown as it's normal size with black bars around it?

Central Avenue

In the Desktop switcher screen, switch the little "Picture position" dropdown from "Fill" or "Fit" to "Center".

(In 7, at least, I think it works similarly in Vista.)

@Chuggles:

As for backgrounds and resizing them... right click on your desktop > personalize > desktop background.  Choose the background(s) you want, and the appropriate resizey thing in the "Picture position" dropdown.  At least, assuming Vista is anything like Windows 7

@CA again:

Damn ninja!

Chagen

I tried that and it didn't work...

I'm gonna use a different one, though. I gotta get it off of my PS3 first, though

Central Avenue

@DYRE: Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for!

DYRE. Is there a keylogger that dumps everything that is typed on your computer into a cache so you can review everything typed on your computer?

I have Vista and I like it >

Chagen

And a completely stereotypical desktop for me. And I think the only one in this thread that does not contain a sentient being.

Central Avenue

snowfoxofdeath

And because I just feel like sharing.

Tumblr, why must you resize all my images?

Vorpy

Try www.Tinypic.com

DYRE

Or you can use Dropbox.

Because if you sign up I'll get extra space.

But also because it's convenient.

And I see someone uses Linux (Ubuntu?), VLC, and OpenOffice there.  And I can see 'eir name too.

Central Avenue

What? I didn't take down the picture. There's nothing visible in the tray but the standard Windows icons though (Action Center, Volume, Battery, Network).

Chagen

So this is the Printscreen thread?

I play way too much Rfactor for my own good. 

And those folders are huge. You see that F1WCP one? It's only for the 2010 F1 Season, which has about 26 cars. It's 6+ Gigabytes on its own.

Most of them are only about 500 Megabytes, though.

Vorpy

Fine then GMH. Here is a SFW background.

glennmagusharvey

What are these?  High-res photos?  Game data?  Music?  Movies?

glennmagusharvey

@Vorpy:

1. That's a lot of icons arranged in a rather particular fashion.  How do you keep their arrangement from being messed up?
2. Use pSX instead of ePSXe.  (There's a frontend that makes it very easy to use.)
3. What is "Enemy Database", and what format is that?
4. What is that icon with a Japanese name?
5. Yay classic view!

Chagen

Glenn: Data for the cars of the mods I've downloaded. Rfactor is supposed to be built with mods--it comes with very little content on it's own.

Central Avenue

(It's exactly the same link as earlier, only the first time she called it "NSFW" for some reason)

Chagen

HOLY FUCK VORPY PLAYS 3DCG

AT LEAST I THINK THAT'S 3DCG

glennmagusharvey

I wasn't aware she linked anything before.  Perhaps she did when she ninja'd me.

glennmagusharvey

I am amused at how I didn't recognize the iTunes icon.

Chagen

I'm not one for keeping lots of icons. 

I prefer going straight into my documents folder and launching from there.  I'm not sure why, I just do.

Half of those games don't even work....

DYRE

You didn't know Vorpy had 3DCG?  evilneko sent it to her during the Trope-tan porn thread back in like October or whatever.

Why do I remember that?

In any case, 3DCG doesn't have much loli stuff, so... yeah.

Chagen

You can make lolis in it.

Also, out of the 45 games I have, 19 are racing games. 11 of those are racing sims.

glennmagusharvey

What's 3DCG?

Also, yeah, I have a games folder as well.  And a music folder, and a documents folder, and a pictures folder.

Though I sometimes keep stuff that I'm presently working with on my desktop.

When I want to find stuff, I go to the appropriate folder and open it myself.  Shortcuts aren't really my cup of tea unless the file is hard to get to.  The exception is my start-menu-pinned applications and quick launch applications.

DYRE

^^ I know you can make lolis.  But there's very limited clothing options available for them, or at least there seemed to be, based on looking through the various catalogues (since of course I can't download every single thing made for it...  well maybe I can.  But I probably won't).  Which makes me sad.

^ 3D Custom Girl.  A porn "game" that consists of dressing up (or not...) a, well, custom girl.  And there's options for posing them and pretty crappy-looking sex scenes and whatnot.

Central Avenue

And now one of my browser, so you can see all my pretty tabs.
