Interesting things to do to your Desktop.

Sithdarth · 06-13-2004, 12:56 AM

Now I have a hard time making decisions; so when I ended up downloading 60 different wallpapers I had a bit of a problem. I just couldn't pick one. So remembering something I read in Maximum PC and my JavaScript book. I formulated a plan. I would simply make my PC load a random background every 2 minutes. I would post a pic but it wouldn't look special. Instead you get to see the code.

Oh yeah, I also threw in a box that randomly moves every 3 seconds. When you mouseover the box it throw up a blue screen that will look exactly like a error screen. Eventually the only way to get back will be to type in the right password. Although the password box will be disguised as one of those enter file location boxes and the pass will be a filename.

Anyone else do anything cool with their desktop. Throw up a picture if you feel like it and a picture will do it justice. It occurs to me that I might have to much time on my hands.

Dragonsbane · 06-13-2004, 03:43 AM

wow, that's incredibly cool..........though I can't understand a WORD of it.

Living Bobbeh · 06-13-2004, 04:01 AM

Erm....I put a rather funky Background image on mine?
I moved my stuff (My boxes of stuff) in a differant corner?
Meh, My Desktop stinks(Need to clean it)

Funka Genocide · 06-13-2004, 04:10 AM

Sithdarth, that is the geekiest thing I have ever seen in my entire tenure on this planet! *suplicates himself before the awesome dorkiness of Sithdarth* I just started teaching myself javascript, but I still have no idea how it works. The simple fact that you would post the actual code here is beyond my comprehension. "my mind is blown away!" :fighter:

Meister · 06-13-2004, 06:41 AM

Now that's cool, although I can't really understand it, apart from very basic principles (= you read from left to right).

If I had a better graphics card, I'd set my Winamp visualization (Milkdrop) to desktop mode, but whenever I try that, everything goes into snail mode. It's really good on faster PCs, though.

Stover · 06-13-2004, 09:51 AM

Why would you use javascript to make a program that constantly runs in the background of Windows?

LeefRyder · 06-13-2004, 11:30 AM

well there used to be a prank me and my husband would play on eachother, we'd take a screenshot of the desktop, hide all the icons, start menu and tool bar, and then put the screen shot as the desktop image so we'd think our computer was frozen. kind of amusing.

Ren · 06-13-2004, 11:53 AM

Sith, Zoa's right. That's pathetically geeky.

...

....Can I have your babies?

cellar_door · 06-13-2004, 12:03 PM

while i cant get why someone would spend so much time doing all that i gotta admit its kinda cool, well done

Bombshell · 06-13-2004, 12:11 PM

Didn't understand any of it but still it seems cool.
