OoO epic desktop

Heh, even your computer desktop is artfully arranged!

Ooo, ooo! Selectric ball! Never thought of using glass block for a monitor stand. Heck of a lot cheaper than getting one made custom out of acrylic.

Thats a cool computer desktop setup.

Would it be nitpicking to point out that Thunderbird 1 wasn't a saceship but a high-altitude hypersonic plane? The spaceship was Thunderbird 3.

Technically. Though I could never see how a stove-pipe design that launches upward like a rocket could be anything but a rocket. Thudnerbirds didn't make much sense anyway. I was more of an XL-5 man, and have the T1 only because I found it at a Salvation Army, and knew they were scarce.

Your desktop is so awesome and arranged D:
Mine is just a cluttered mess of icons with a few collected in a folder laballed 'Stuff I'll Never Use'

Your place looks a lot like how mine would look, if I wasn't broke. Only less movies and more video games. ^_^;;

Well... I'm broke now. All that crap set me back some.

How did you make your icons organize like that?

There's a setting in Appearances or Desktop, somewhere, that allows you to move them anywhere you want. (The default is snap-to-grid I think.) Then you just drag the icons around with your mouse. I haven't had to change the default setting in such a long time, I don't recall clearly how it's done.

I knew you could do that... it's just, on your screen it looks so perfect I couldn't believe you did it just by eyeballing it!

I reconstructed what I did. I right clicked while the mouse on the desktop, to bring up a menu with Arange Icons By. That brings up a new menu that includes Align by Grid, and Auto Arange. One of those is the default, when Windows is installed. You want to turn off both, and then you can arrange the icons any which way.

But you see to know that.

So, yes, I arranged the icons by eyeball. After all, I *am* an artist!

I bow before your superior artistic skills!

It can't be that hard. Give it a try. Move 'em around, and when you have a rough arrangement, then tweak it bit by bit.
