At the moment there is that naked woman desktop. But thatīs only because I had to reinstall completely and lost all my data (at least yet I donīt have it available again).
Usually I had a screensaver and background of "Picnic At Hanging Rock", my absolutely favourite movie. I will try to get it back ASAP.
The sounds are Windows standard, but perhaps I should better create something of that theme...

Orbiting cubes Oldfart????????? LOL..

I sure would like to see that!!! :D :D


My desktop wallpaper is of two adult angels in a loving embrace...

My screen saver is "This is mom's computer and you better not mess with it!":D :D

The music that plays when opening and closing is a song near and dear to my heart..."The Sea of Love" by the Honeydrippers!

Your asking ME what my computer's theme is? You have to ask?
Wallpaper: a picture of a large tree in Costa Rica with some 20-30 iguanas in it. I sometimes like to play "find the iguana", although by now, I think I've spotted them all.

The various sectors, folders, drives, have been mostly re-named and re-routed to things like "Lizard's Lair", etc.

The screen saver is a rotating selection of mostly dinosaurs.

Never did get around to changing the system sounds. Wonder if there is a .wav file of a gekko's bark somewhere, hmmmm.

Gecko: perhaps there is no gecko sound, but have you tried the jungle sound set already? At least with my Win ME installation software it was a standard set.

Mine changes a lot normally. It goes from Anime themes to Movie themes to Women themes. Can't tell what I'll feel like having from week to week.

As for my background, I have a pic Lilith found on the net for me while we were looking for my avatar. It's (surprise surprise!) a mermaid and a merman entwined in embrace... very sexy :D

Mmm... I've literally just re-installed, so nothing at the moment, but usually I have an Ayrton Senna one on. Sometimes that changes to a Judas Priest one, but, well, I'm predictable and stick to Senna most of the time :-)

Wallpaper is Star Trek Enterprise Ships. Sounds are startup: Theme from Star Trek. Ending is Picard saying Space the final frontier. Other sounds are of Spock, Mc Coyand Scotty saying different messages. Screensaver is 3d pipes.

The only reason I'm not using any of the other custom stuff is that they all use system resources, and mine are at a premium. For this particular wallpaper I'll make an exception, though.

Ironwood ~ I personally notice no difference in my puter performance using the custom stuff to using the stuff preloaded....excepting it takes up some extra room on the hard drive....but that is not a problem...well for me anyway :)

No, normally it wouldn't make a noticable difference, but I've been having memory problems, so I'm careful about non-essentials. I didn't mean to imply that themes are a bad idea. :)

eeewwww memory probs...not good

Can understand your preference for not having them now :)

But i tell ya if the puter was mine it would be in the shop being repaired quick smart *LOL*

No theme...No Highlander *shudders at the thought*

Sharni! What a great thread! TY hun!

Diva oh Diva.........The Sea of Love!!!!!! Omggggg! Brings back memories of me in a Chevy Deuce down by the river as the planes flew over towards the Philadelphia International Airport when I lived in Jersey just near the river! Oh.......the memories! TY!

Ahem! OK.......Computers huh? Well....My wallpaper on my desktop is of scissors and thread.......Hmmmm....wonder why?

I don't like screen savers cause I don't like my puter to "sleep" when I haven't finished something and need to go make dinner or something.......Neither does my ISP (if idle too long I am booted!)...............so I don't have one. But I love to pull up "Bad Dog" every now and again cause I just get a kick outta him digging a hole in my screen and biting the wires and peeing all over my folders and stuff like that! Anyone ever see "Bad Dog"?

My theme song is about to change to "Sea of Love" by the Honeydrippers.........but for now it is what came with the puter..........that Windows...ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-a lingy thing!

And all other stuff mentioned went right over my head!!!!! LMAO!

*Jenna*.....I have seen Tara and her work!.........I have never and never will go to a circus.....^5 sister! I also hate zoos but I know that there are animals that may need them for fear of extinction. I just can't stand and gawk at an animal that is born free......yet living behind bars. Please don't preach to me about this!......It's an aching heart thing.....not a......."Oh, let all the animals be free and fend for themselves", thing! Just wanted to tell Jenna I know is all!

Lixy: Where'd you get that Bad Dog - I LOVE it! PM with URL PLEEEEEEEEEEASE!

For now my Theme is 2001/2016. Desktop is the shot of the Monolith in the pit at Tycho Crater, sounds are various HAL bytes from the movies, and the busy cursor is thumbnails of the cast.

Yeah, Lixy, PLEASEEEE tell Murphy where you got it......I can't take his Space Oddysey theme much longer....especially the sounds!! They're making me crazy!!!

Oh, and the theme on MY computer? The computer sitting right on the table next to Murphy's but won't browse even though it dials up correctly??? That computer??? Well, the name of the theme is
"69"...........do I have to go into any more detail??? :D:D:D

for at least another fifteen minutes, i got a picture of Tom Waits, dressed in a suit, standing in a field with a giant horn to his ear. after that, i might switch to the giant Bruce Campbell face, or maybe the one of GIR holdin Piggy. screensaver just cycles through the 50-some-odd wallpapers i got. don't like changin icons or any uh that other shit.

My desktop theme is Downtown LasVegas my favorite place in the
world....and the screensaver is scrolling words of wisdom from my hunny.

screen saver is pictures of trains (mostly American modern freight trains, with a preference for the Santa Fe or BNSF paint schemes), my background image varies from time to time... usually it is something from one of the NASA picture archives (space pictures have a darm background, which gives a contrast that I like)... no sounds for me, they just get in the way of listening to music...

Theme Update!

At the urging of someone close to me (ahem), I DL'd a new theme set from:
http://www.ThemeDoctor.com

Dragons! 6 different themes in both 800x600 and 1024x800!
install was a bit tricky, having to run a bat file to move the startup and shutdown screens and also having to move afew things manually, but the readme file talks you right thru it.

You will all be able to tell that I have children when I say that my desktop theme is Veggie Tales. Larry, Bob, Mr. Lunt, Mr. Nezzer and the rest of the vegetable gang are on my wallpaper, my sounds, my icon and my screen saver. My kids laughs and giggles when the computer does something makes it all worth while.
