Don't have my MacBook Pro with me, as it's being repaired due to my little sis vomiting on the keyboard :/

Got the Win 10 Laptop for this month though.

My reaction to that computer...

How did you make the aero so transparent?

I used glass8.eu, however there was a watermark on the free version, so I covered it up with rainmeter

Here is mine!!

Here is my triple monitor setup on my PowerMac G5 ^^
The girl on wallpaper is Lzzy Hale, the singer (and guitarist) of Halestorm :3

I usually have a YouTube video playing on the left monitor, web browsing (forum, or other) on the center monitor, and facebook or twitter on the right monitor ^^
I think about changing that setup to a double monitor setup, replacing the center one with a Cinema Display 24", and ditching the middle and left one, but it will be in a long time, so I will keep that setup for a little while.
Or maybe just replacing my G5 by a Mac Pro or a Mac Mini 2010, I don't know, even If my G5 still working really well and still fast, it's old..

How can you even managed to read all those items on the lower half of your desktop...? White against white, that is so distracting...

I realised long ago that most of what's posted, to topics such as this, is about the desktop background alone; nothing about how the Mac is used.

(When I saw things going downhill whilst testing Yosemite I tried, a few times, to encourage shots of usage. Almost nothing changed.)

Sorry i must have missunderstood. You would prefer to see the same app windows open every single month while no wallpaper is visible? Like a workflow screenshot?

If so, I dont think thats what this particular thread is about

No. More simply, I wished for examples of work.

I like it very much!

Might I suggest creating an ongoing thread for that subject, rather than trying to commandeer a "show your desktop" thread in the "Picture Gallery" forum?

I am not trying to pick a fight, but you come to an existing series of threads where people display pictures of their computer desktops and complain that it doesn't meet your expectation of "how the Mac is used".

 

[bhtwo]

Yes... lets see those spreadsheets!

 

[grahamperrin]

trying to commandeer

I don't think so, but thanks for the exaggeration.

I agree with you @grahamperrin, the Yosemite thread ended up being so much about people's desktop pictures instead of the update itself, in the time when everything had gone flatter and people wanted to see the changes.

OT: I'm just using the latest InterfaceLift again.

The form of the coastline around Durdle Door is controlled by its geology--both by the contrasting hardnesses of the rocks, and by the local patterns of faults and folds.The arch has formed on a concordant coastline where bands of rock run parallel to the shoreline. The rock strata are almost vertical, and the bands of rock are quite narrow. Originally a band of resistant Portland limestone ran along the shore, the same band that appears one mile along the coast forming the narrow entrance to Lulworth Cove. Behind this is a 120-metre (390 ft) band of weaker, easily eroded rocks, and behind this is a stronger and much thicker band of chalk, which forms the Purbeck Hills. These steeply dipping rocks are part of the geological structure known as the Lulworth crumple, itself part of a broader monocline (a kinked type of geological fold) produced by the building of the Alps during the mid-Cenozoic.
