You're a fucking idiot, we do it so that it displays our distro, kernel, specs, shell, and window manager.

In his defense, that's exactly what he did. He displayed his Openbox, GTK, icon, and terminal themes in that one screenshot. The archey also displayed information about his computer, which is part of the purpose of this thread.

But he used imgur, which is an unforgivable sin of the Desktop thread, and he must die.

[lavacano]

I swear Archey works with every distro except Gentoo.

How do I do that?

Calm down, pal, I know it's impossible for most Facepunch users to detect sarcasm but what I said was pretty obvious.

If you're still taking requests, can I ask for a M1 Abrams tank in a similar style to the tank on my current desktop?[/QUOTE]

I don't want to just fully copycat the style, but i can attempt to paint you an m1 in a cartoon-ish style

(obviously still a heavy wip)

Specify what details you want, as

all that i can not do :Y

[Perogi Palooka]

I like it so far! As far as what details I'd want, I would say add the small turret on the top, make the sides next to the gun barrel a little more sloped (right now it looks a little boxy), add this little lip hanging over the back of the treads:

and overall make the turret a bit lower. As it stands right now, it looks a little bit like a [URL="http://www.primeportal.net/images/iraq/m109/Palidan%20Tank.jpg"]Paladin tank.[/URL]

And if I sound rude or too bossy, I don't mean to come off that way. This is something I requested as a favor and you can kinda do it any way you like. :smile:

Another picture I drew.

[sp]inb4 autodumb for "ogm animez!!1"/Practical Rainmeter use becausetaskmanagertakestoolongtoload[/sp][/QUOTE] you seem to like line art or whatever, I suggest you do some work in Inkscape or Illustrator.

[Psycommu]

I like to draw things by hand like I'm drawing on a piece of paper... Rarely do I keep the lines scribbly, but on that picture I just thought it brought something out in it.

Not to mention it would've taken [I]ages[/I] to clean the lines.

I've looked into those programs, they really didn't interest me that much...
Maybe I should look again later.

I haven't been on Quakenet in a while, how's it been?

Pretty dead tbh.

I've yet to see someone with windows 8 beta here

[chrishind10]

Is it out?

[QUOTE=shian;32196791]I've yet to see someone with windows 8 beta here[/QUOTE]

Next week you'll see a few. There've been a few shots of Milestone builds though.

[QUOTE=shian;32196791]I've yet to see someone with windows 8 beta here[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I want to see Win7 with a slightly different taskbar too. [sp]Not.[/sp]
In a week, when the developer preview gets released, maybe.

[chrishind10]

I bet it takes all of 2 or 3 days before a crack is available for it.
