You know Tristan's generally a bastard if you don't agree with him and IMO that rFactor shot looks awful, may just be the way it looks through my eyes on my screen. My Dad just can't read LFS, to him it doesn't seem real like GPL/N2003 (which he doesn't go on for a month then spends a week absolutley obsessed by it )
As some people posted before I've started using Litestep. So much better than windows, the graphics are .png based (unlike XP's stupid .bmps) and some themes like the one I posted bellow use no graphics at all. Doesn't have to be minimal, that's just the way I like it. The great thing about Litestep is that it's nearly all done using text files.
Don't know where I got the desktop from, I cut it down to the widescreen look, how I set all my desks and the black background is added to the image so I can just select it from my folder full of wallpaper and it sets right even when strech is selected. Attached a few of my favourite wallpapers
I used to play GT4 alot, even though it's not half as real as LFS I still thought it was a good game and when I got bored of the racing aspect of it I tried taking pictures.
Shame that it wasn't a cooler car as the picture I think is really cool with the 1337 spoiler on the civic :P I change it alot though, depends on when I get bored of the old one.
Mr_x, nice desktop, not really a geordie fan but like the music your playing.
