Awww, I dunno, this topic is bit of an exception, methinks.

You are going to have it at regular intervals anyway (and I suppose that posting a new desktop counts as 'something new to say'), so I guess it comes down to whether you want one really long-lived desktop topic, or lots of shorter ones. :-)
 
I agree with Jari. As much as reviving threads is generally frowned upon, it seems much better than to create a new topic for the exact same thing when there's already one suitable. Since this particular thread is entirely driven by content, not discussion, the addition of new content to it seems reasonable, especially since, were a new thread to be started, either of two things would happen:

1. All the desktops in this thread get reposted in the new thread, causing more effort for people and creating a clone with hardly anything new to offer.
2. Somebody links to the old thread, saying that a new one didn't need to be started.

I don't have the authority to make a decision on the matter, but if somebody who does have that authority agrees with me (after I already agreed with Jari), that's just fine.
 
Seeing this inspired me to clean up the ol' desktop. I usually have the "Show Desktop Items" turned off, so I just save stuff to the desktop anyway without actually putting the files where they belong; that said, my desktop is down to My Computer and a single filefolder, so I might as well just post the picture from where I got it, no?

On a side note, it's hosted on http://www.sexydesktops.co.uk which is a very good resource for finding wallpapers of virtually any celebrity (except male... not that I'm complaining, but who doesn't want to add a little Kiefer Sutherland to their life now and then?).

I feel better plugging them after killing a bit of bandwidth.
 
Someone set you up the bomb - you have no chance to survive, make your time.

For my desktops are made of win and l33t.

One...



...two...



...three...



and four.



For great justice!

Clicking on the pictures will magically show you a larger, native resolution screen shot (270 to 340 KB).

There's a teeny weeny bit of cheating going on, it doesn't actually change the QOTD at every desktop switch (although it can be set to do just that), I just refreshed it manually to give you something new to read. :)

Oh... the wallpapers (made by Tigaer - my new God) suffer a bit from the jpeg compression in those shots. I just figured that the tradeoff would be desirable over massive file sizes. :)

And for the ones a with very keen eye - yes, there are two instances of Winamp running. :P Completely by accident.
 
Heheh, well here goes . . . I'll say it in public, Jari.  That has to be the sexiest Windoze Desktop I've ever seen.

Anyway, I'll join the fray:

wee!


widgets!


As usual, clicking one of the above images will link you to the original (quite big, but nicer looking.)

It's a genuine Tony Taka.  Well, the girl at least is, anyway.  I'm not sure about the background, though.
 
ice_cold513: Awww, thanks. :)

Your Christmas desktop is very cute, too - not to mention very Christmasy with the taskbar and all. :)

I've had couple of different anime-themed Christmas desktops along the years myself - it's just that it's difficult to find enough wallpapers, because I'd need them either in 1600x1200 or good enough quality in lower resolution that they can be resized and still look nice. Not to mention that I'd need four of them. Well, not need, but I prefer to have different wallpaper on each desktop, partly because it works as a visual cue about what desktop I'm currently on and partly because it looks neat. So, the wallpaper search is somewhat of a pain in the ass. :|
 


That's totally a thumbnail. The full size is totally 1280*800. You can totally click the thumbnail to see the full size image. I totally made that wallpaper about a week ago. The wallpaper in the shot is totally 640*400. I'm totally gonna shut up now.
 
Aston looks neat, totally. Also, it totally took me some time to figure out that it is Aston. :)
 
Pfff, I never know how to pair 2 wallpapers to make it look right on 2 monitors.. :(
 
Cool pictures Jari, I think I've seen the 2nd one before... was it called "Teragon" or something similar?

Mine :D


(pretty boring really)
