    How do you get your album art? Do you download the images one at a time, or do you have some kind of automation?

    Dunno about Foobar, but amaroK will pull the images straight from amazon.com based on the "album" tag of the song.
    I'll check that out.

    I use tag and rename and pull them from amazon when i tag my music, and foobar just pulls them from the folder, there isnt any support for external means of obtaining album art.

    Question: I'm running dual monitors on my Radeon 9700. How do I get a different desktop for each monitor? I've seen it done, not sure how, though.

    The lazy way? Get two desktops together and merge them together in paint or whatever, then set it to "tiled".

    Just uploaded a shit-ton of stuff to the anime / cartoon section of the dump, most of it utterly amazing. At the moment it all just barely fits on page 1. Subject matter includes Eureka 7, Princess Mononoke, Trigun, and Cowboy Bebop. I tried to keep themes together, so all the Eureka ones are next to each other for example. My only hope is that someone else will benefit from this bountiful harvest.

    Also, I've updated my desktop screenshot. I have finally completed some semblance of a theme.

    Here's a new dirty shot:

    e7mbdesktopdirty.jpg

    I have since done away with the Aqua-style folders, but whatever. You get the idea. I love "Milk", and I found these icons to go with it. Also, new status icons.

    I use Ultramon as well. It's $30 I think, but it is well worth it. It handles two monitors so well. It's shareware so you can always give it a try.

    If some of those really bright/white themes could be had in more subdued colors, I would be all over them. Too much white or silver makes my eyes hurt.

    Is it a good thing when your desktop remains essentially unchanged for months?

    I like to draw and/or render my own desktops.... but I haven't been able to find the time in months.... so mine's almost unchanged since the last time I posted here ages ago.

    I did get a new hard-drive monitor widget... maybe I should take a screenshot and show off my 11 hard drives :P (lots of work-mandated Novell volumes ... not as fun as it sounds)

    It's not directly supported by the software from what I can see. You could always make a forum post there linking to the icons you wish to share.

    Well, I could always create a new category for dock icons or other icons of that type. The only problem would be that the gallery only support image files. Of course, what I *could* is to write a download-system for the forums... I won't have time for such a project until after Christmas and all that, but I'll think about it and see when I get back from my vacation. I think it's a good idea though, so I'll probably do it eventually :)

    Thankyou :oops: (You can tell who's just got a new monitor!)
    I've uploaded a few of them to the PA Wallpaper Dump. Hopefully this link works.

    If you want the rest from the series pm me or say so and I'll try and upload them to something like rapid share from work where it should be a lot quicker. Although the rest of them are a bit naff.

    I'm glad to see people actually using the Zune theme I posted a few pages back. Here's my current display on my old computer...

    (1200X1024, btw)
    Wallpaper43534.jpg

    That's a picture I took and I have to say it goes well with the Zune theme. Lemme know if you guys want it for your desktop too because for some reason imageshack is being a whiny bitch and photobucket resizes.

    I have since done away with the Aqua-style folders, but whatever. You get the idea. I love "Milk", and I found these icons to go with it. Also, new status icons.

    The interesting thing about this is that I think most of that could be re-created on Windows, and I feel like I want to. In fact, I wasn't even sure if it was OSX until I saw the theme link. There's a Milk theme for Windows, I already have a sidebar like in the pic, ObjectDock, Miranda IM instead of iChat (is that what it's called?). All I want is a Windows version of those beautiful icons and a way to make my fonts look like those. Never did understand the Windows/Mac/Linux font rendering differences.

    Oh, and my desktop:504159_desktop.PNG
    Theme + Wallpaper Construct v2.0, custom Samurize and Miranda. Fun fact: when Miranda's not running, a normally-hidden box in Samurize appears and can be clicked on to open Miranda.
