Is that the drive you have Windows installed on? If so just rename it within Windows, to whatever you want.

I think my wallpaper is sick -

I can't remember how I renamed it awhile back, either I pressed select the bootcamp drive and pressed the (up-arrow-key-thing-with-a-dash next to the apple key on the right) to rename it or boot into window thru bootcamp and change the drive name there in my computer.

I have loads of these from the blokes website! They are great, just put them in a folder and make the background change every now and then looks lovely!

Whats the site?

Here's my current desktop:

 

[JonB]

Ooo, I do like how you have terminal setup! How did you do that?

Also the obligatory..."where did you get that wallpaper from? it's cool!"

 

[M0KUJ1N]

Terminal: Green on Black, Courier 14pt font, anti-aliasing enabled, and just a touch of transparency to add a bit of pizazz. Not too much tho otherwise it becomes hard to read

The colours are done by putting some colour codes in your .bash_profile file (create one if it doesnt already exist. My .bash_profile is as follows:

export CLICOLOR=1
export LSCOLORS=ExFxCxDxBxegedabagacad
open -a X11
export DISPLAY=:0.0


Another Mac-esque hint that you will probably want to do if you use Fink is appending :/sw/bin to your PATH variable in /etc/profile

The desktop is shamelessly filched from deviantart. Thought it added a touch of colour but not too much colour/detail to detract from doing work

I can't find that Heroes wallpaper anywhere (looked on the TV's site and 9th wonder.) Can you link me to it? (1280*1024) Thanks. :)

(I don't have a MAC to contribute, but have a think Linux wallpaper with the apple sign? - on Windows :p )

Typically, I find it straight after posting. :rolleyes: :D

Here's my desktop for this month.

 

[BillytheImpaler]

Here's my desktop for this month.

It's frightening how similar that is to my desktop, background, icons, dock, and all. However, my desktop is Gnome on Ubuntu Linux.
