Well...here's mine...

Resized:http://www.maj.com/gallery/Corhellion/Stuff/04_27_07_desktop1_resized1.jpg

Yes it's big, clocking in at 3200x1200 resolution. And if you're wondering how I can get it that high...

I've got a two 20'' monitors setup for my graphic design and rendering...and my background is actually one of my renders.

This is why SH3 needs a widescreen patch or something...there is a way to force it...but I dunno how'd it look...

[Sailor Steve]

I can't show you anything right now, as my computer and I aren't speaking to each other right now. It would be hard for me to show my desktop anyway, as I have hundreds of ship and plane pictures, and I use a randomizer that changes it every day.

[mr chris]

Randomiser eh Steve.
I could do with one of them:yep:
How does one set one up?

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

this was me on my guarding mission (was pretty boring to sail at 7 knots but was a butifull sight)

I was moving some radios around, and my son grabbed the mic and started saying "CQ CQ". It was so cute that I had to take a pic and put it on both my home and work machines.

One downloads it from any of many free sites:
http://www.desktoprandomizer.com/
http://www.tropicalwares.com/wallmast.html

Many more to be had by googling 'Desktop Randomizer'. As for setting it up, most of them have you load everything you want to see into a file; some of them let you direct their locators to existing files. Some are free. Some cost a few bucks. I don't remember where mine came from, and, as I said, I can't look right now to find out.:dead:

[mr chris]

Thanks very much for the information Steve. :up:

[danlisa]

If I was posting the images I have on my DT, I wouldn't be a member here for very long.;)

Probably why most are U-boats.:p:rotfl:

Hi Dan, that Desktop looks Tooooooo good, I just PM'd you for your secret hires settings!;)

@ Sailor Steve: I installed Desktop Randomizer but after many atempts fail to get it to change screens automatically, have ticked randomize wallpapers & ticked every 5 minutes, icon appears on taskbar, do you know what is wrong?:-?
Thanks.

[danlisa]

Hi Dan, that Desktop looks Tooooooo good, I just PM'd you for your secret hires settings!;)

Hey Reece, there are no Hi Res settings used, look at the pic properties they're 1024x768.;) This is my game with GFX Card maxed at 6xAA & 16xAF. Then it's only had some colour adjustments from PS.:yep:

[Reece]

All I can say is AWESOME Dan, so you are only using 1024x768 and forced AA & AF to the max! don't know of any other "GFX Card maxed" settings. but going to give it a try, are you using d3d9.dll!:up:
Thanks.

[danlisa]

Nope, out of the box GWX.:up:

[Umfuld]

http://usera.imagecave.com/33433/SHIII/2222.JPG

What? You were expecting a sub?

[Reece]

With forced AA set to 6x & AF to 16x it still is nothing like your picture, do you know what to set "Wait for Vertical Sync", "Trueform" & "Temporal Anti-Aliasing" to?:-?

[danlisa]

....Then it's only had some colour adjustments from PS.:yep:....
LMAO - Did you miss this bit Reece.:rotfl:

Turn V-Sync off (unless you get image tearing), turn Truform on & Put Temporal AA to x3. However the most important bit is quoted above.:roll::lol:

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

Thanks.

i installed it to.
i made it change my screenshots every 15 minutes.
but you have to choose minimum 2 picts.

i choose all my SH3 picts :up:

[Reece]

Hi Kaleu. Jochen Mohr, I have 30 SH3 BMP pictures, if I double click the taskbar icon it changes pictures & sometimes it changes automatically, sometimes in 1 minute other times maybe in 2 hours, I don't think it likes zonealarm running and won't kick-in!:-?
Dan - thanks, I was hoping it was just a little of PS & mostly settings!:yep:

Nice!

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

i have this one for the next 15 minutes :up:

[mr chris]

Well i cant get the radomisizer to work :cry::cry:

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

Well i cant get the radomisizer to work :cry::cry:

do you use this one ? http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/7208/blaav1.jpg

[mr chris]

Yes matey thats the one:up:
Could not for the life of me get it to select any pictures.

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

i did it like this
http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/4530/bla2ri1.jpg

disabled the screensaver option and put the time thingy to 15 minutes

[Reece]

Hi again Kaleu. Jochen Mohr, I gave up with the randomizer, the fact is that it doesn't work with other things running in the background such as zonealarm, music players etc.
Anyway I just wanted to point out from your picture of the VIIb that you have the iron bar sticking up at the bow, there is a fix for this: "Bow Fix Type VIIB.rar" and on the VIIC you may need the fix if the wires at the stern of the boat do not meet the 2 supports properly: "Cable_Fix_Type_VIIC.rar", if you can't find them & you want them let me know & I will upload them, both mods were done by flakwalker some time ago.:yep:

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

the randomizer thingy works fine wih me... i can play winamp whitout having trouble with the randomizer.

and about the mods...
they are only found on realsimulation.com
but the UBRS DLC thingy is not co oporating...

if you would like to upload them it would be nice :up:

[Reece]

I have uploaded the 2 files at Filefront.
VIIb Bow fix:
http://files.filefront.com/Bow_Fix_Type_VIIBrar/;7432321;/fileinfo.html
VIIc cable fix:
http://files.filefront.com/Cable_Fix_Type_VIICrar/;7432435;/fileinfo.html
Also for those having problems with the desktop randomizer I have found a freeware/donation-ware version (WallpaperCycler - 2.5meg) that works very well with more options, & no nag screens etc:
http://www.nuonsoft.com/main.php
Cheers:up:

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

those patches work with WAC and GWX ?

[Stealth Hunter]

http://x6.no/images/omtaler/Spill/silenthunter33.jpg

[Reece]

I would have thought that the GWX version allready had the 2 fix's, but if you are using JSGME then it wont hurt to install & if there are problems you could remove it! I must say though that I had the same with GWX & asumed it was something I did, anyway I have put in in a while ago & have no problems what so ever, so I say ... go for it!:up:

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

thanks mate :up: its realy helpfull

Reece, I'm sorry it didn't work for you. I can't get to my computer, so I not only can't look at the problem, I can't even tell you which one I have on there! I really do wish I could help.

[mr chris]

Recce your not the only one that cant get it to work. I get all my screenshots on the program then select them and and click on ok. Then it trys to tell me that i have to select more than 2 screen shots for the program to work. :damn::damn:
Am at a loss as to how to get it to work.
