While searching my computer to rid of useless programs and files, I realized that my desktop was cluttered with tons of icons, some having to do with the TRLE and some not.

So before I deleted it all, I took a pic of what it was, I guess it wasn't so cluttered and dirty but at times you couldn't even see my wallpaper (Alanis Morissette). My desktop definitely wasn't the same before the TRLE.

If you aren't too shy about posting your desktop, hit "print screen" on your keyboard and resize it to a smaller size, so you can post it here! Show how much of a TRLE addict you are.
Here's mine...

I used to have 7-8 rows of icons, including 3 different versions of Wadmerger :D but I deleted lots of them a few weeks ago, leaving 4 rows, I am now back to 5 :D

ok ok I know it looks horrible, I haven't gotten round to changing the whole look yet! I absolutely detest clutter, so the minimalist look is for me :)

I hate (with a vengence) icons all over the screen so have none but the ones you can't get rid off and use the menus to launch things. I have a few things on the task bar - cd player / wav player.

I have Willow from BTVS as a wallpaper

Actually my desktop is the less accessed area of my pc, I live in Windows Explorer, so if we were to show a pic of that... ;)

This is my desktop, though.

Note a whole lot, that's what the quick launch bar is for.

I am speechless, but at the same time trying to figure out how you did that. :confused:

Did you move it off the screen, or do um..... other things.....? :confused:

Hi chronciles,
thanks. Maybe I should change the background image, because my eyes hurt sometimes :D.
But I´m used to see this picture...and I don´t know what to choose for a new desktop style.
Maybe I´´ll change it some day, but then I won´t take one picture of Lara..I like "extraordinary" things much better :p :D.

one way of doing that is with TweakUI (or other windows tweak programs)
another way is by making your desktop show as a webpage and hide the icons (display settings in the config screen)
the last trick I know is to increase the resolution, move the bin all the way to the right and then decrease the resolution again

yeah , either tweak UI or if your an XP user right click on your desktop, choose 'arrange icons by' and click 'show desktop icons' that will hide everything. :D

One of the secrets to have a clean desktop is to use a applications-loader, for instance 'FastUse', available on my web-site. :)

All you do is right click the desktop select arrange icons, then uncheck show desktop icons.

That is incredibly cheap, I thought you invented a way to delete the recycle bin :D:p jk :D

I've cleaned up my clutter...yet I cannot part with My Computer and My Documents from the desktop...maybe I'll put them on the Quick Launch bar and hide the recycle bin...hehehe...
I'm settling on this wallpaper:

Chronicles, I love that wallpaper! Did you make it? If not, where did you get it from? :D

Chronicles5
09-25-2002, 07:16 PM
Yes, I made it :D

I took part of it to make my sig too.

If you want one I'll make one, or you can use that, or I can put the dragon on a different pic or something....:D

Here is my desktop:

http://trlevelediting.home.sapo.pt/my_desktop.JPG

As you can see it is themed with Tomb Raider: The Return of Lara Croft, which is the game I'm making in conjunction with other members of the forum.

Nice and clean, fast to load. I've hidden all trle stuff in a special folder on my desktop.

I can see the folder, it's just down from the media player shortcut and a bit to the right ;)
