Is that all right?

[Voetsjoeba]

[Jasninder]

Ilyaslamasse and Noxious
i am still confused, is it just a wallpaper
or a screenshot with icons and actual desktop... u know
taskbar and stuff... can we be more specific plz?
Thanx =)

[pom]

Voet >> 1 week for a wallpaper should be enough, no?
flasher >> I'm wondering too :P Let's wait for Noxious...

[Voetsjoeba]

Oooh, you guys do this backwards ... Sorry, Ithought you ment 6 December :beam:

[Voetsjoeba]

Say eeehm ... this might be a (very) stupid question, but what do I have to do to post my entry ? Give it to pom or post it here or ... what ?

And just another thing: I'm kinda confused too, do you actually only have to make a screen from yer screen or do you have to design your own or what ?

[Jasninder]

Say eeehm ... this might be a (very) stupid question, but what do I have to do to post my entry ? Give it to pom or post it here or ... what ?

Nah, i d' say clearing ur confusions, nothin stupid in it :)
yes, you have to post your entry over here with in the given time limit as decided by pom(mod) and noxious (host)



do you actually only have to make a screen from yer screen or do you have to design your own or what ?

As far as i think, screen shot battle means capturing ur desktop and posting it here, u design your own desktop wid icons and task bar, i was thinking of adding 2 screen shots,one widout start menu and another the normal screenshot, wich includes icons and wallpaper ofcourse.

But rite now i m sort of confused too, you will be clear wid the rules and wat exactly you have to do... wait for noxious wid us:P

[Voetsjoeba]

Ah crap, now I'm confused again. Are you saying I have to design something myself ? Or not ? Noxious or Pom, please clear this out for me. As I understand it now, I think I have to simply take a screenshot of my desktop and post it here.

here it is

[Jasninder]

i wonder if actual battle has already startd :P
guys guys guys, i just gave an example of setting up 2 images
and how tht works, this is upto Noxious or Pom to decide.Lets save our posts for later =)

[Voetsjoeba]

Why ? since we're already started ...

[Jasninder]

but dude, if u have started, does'nt mean tht the battle has started too, u r not the mod or the host, so u r can also give
suggestions like i did and just to b more clear i gave an example.
I was not gona post that as a battle entry.]
M8 we gota wait for pom and nox to make it official

[Voetsjoeba]

Ok ... I'll change entry then

[Voetsjoeba]

I just realised what a screw-up I've been. :*( Because of me, the whole battle is messed up and accidentaly pulled fluid_one down with me.

I feel terrible :*(.

[Jasninder]

hey come on m8, nothin like tht =)
sorry if i sounded mean or something like that, i did'nt mean to..
No need to change that entry, everything's cool
Cheers

Tried to make a beer mug hehehe
lets hope it works ;)
n ya i have im'ed noxious, he ll b here soon wid finals rules and changes

[Jasninder]

asci never works here :(

[Voetsjoeba]

No you didn't sound mean at all, I just realised I screwed up :*(.

[Jasninder]

but u felt bad coz of me or wat i said either way, even if i made u realize that,but u did'nt do anything to screw up n all.I never even thot u ll call it screwing up of anytype, come on m8, now m feeling bad too :( sorry

[Voetsjoeba]

Nono, it's just :

1) I was way too soon to post my (former now) entry.

2) Because of me fluid_one has now already posted his too, and I don't know maybe he has to change entry now too and maybe that's the best entry he's got so then I screwed up for him too !

3) You weren't about to post that as an entry, but I was, so you considered it not good enough to be an entry so I'm practically lost already.

[Jasninder]

i know u and fluid can design it again, i am gona change mine too.
There's nothing much in designing ur desktop, is it?
Get a good lookin wallpaper, set ur icons and that's it.
Even if u dont want to change ur entry, u can go by that one too...
same applies for fluid too,It's upto u.We can consider urs as an urly entry =)

[Voetsjoeba]

That's a relieve (or how do you spell that :P). Thanks Jaz :beam:

[Jasninder]

=) no probs m8, i have pm'ed noxious about the battle.He, i think is busy these days and pom cannot decide either because he is as clueless about the rules as others are.So noxious, u ve got some clearifications take care of :P

[comicGeek]

Noxious ment that you should post a screenshot of your desktop. Not just the wall paper! :)

He's currently gone home to attend to his father's health problem! I hope he comes back soon. I wish for his father's good health!

[comicGeek]

Here's my entry watch it and weep! :P

OS: Windows XP Pro not MacOS X :P

http://voetsjoeba.asianillusion.com/images/battle.jpg


I've had to post it now since I won't be able to cause of exams startting tomorrow.

[noxious]

hi guys! im still somewhere near the hospital... im not familiar with the place so i just cant go out.. fortunately ive found one internet cafe near the hospital... im sorry for the wait.. i didnt anticipate that i will be staying here quiet long... anyhu,
only 1 entry is allowed, this is just a screenshot of your desktop ,that is, regardless if there are icons or toolbars or not... ,to make this a bit clearer, anything that is captured on your desktop when you press "PrintScreen" key on your keyboard... =)

as for those who have posted alreadly, just indicate a note "Entry" or something to make your entry official...

i think this is not really hard, you just place a cool wallpaper..and/or arrange some icons/toolbars..and that's it!

and dont forget the most important rule: Rule # 3: Let's have some fun!

i am back on Monday, that is, June 16th, and POM, can we adjust the due date on Monday (16th) so i can submit my entry tooo? ..pleaaasee? (if that's ok with you guys) ;)

LeftOver: Thank God the operation was successful! my father is quiet ok now. tnx comicgeek =)

[noxious]

guys your entries rocks! awesome!!!! :thumb:
..i just hope POM will be gracious enough to extend the due a bit so i can join the fun... :(

[comicGeek]

ching naa na ang final 15 sa mga footer! Unfortunately your entry didn't make it! But mine did! :) vote for me! vote for me! lol

God Bless!

Regards!

[Jasninder]

Hey comic wat all softwares do u use for those groovy icons n stuff, ur entry rocks !!!
i mite make a new one and post it today, i use icon packager tht's it. wana share the secret???
or may b after the battle:P as u wish

[comicGeek]

noxious was the one who gave it to me! I think it's also from stardock. ObjectDock is the name. you can download it from download.com or from stardock for free.

[Jasninder]

Cool, i already have windows blind and icon packager, star dock rocks, thanx comic :)

Hope You all like it =)

[Voetsjoeba]

Just for the notice ... my second one was my official :beam: I can't use StyleXP or something 'cuz this is not my computer, but I will get internet access upstairs when I have good points woohoow :thumb:

By the way, glad to hear your father is ok :)

[fluid_0ne]

i dont use stylexp, cuz it slows down my comp (and eats lots of RAM)

[Jasninder]

ya it eats a hell lot of a ram, but i guess if u have over 1gb's of memmory and a real sound system, u wud'nt care much :P
Altho i have it on my other test system aswel, it's P-200 mmx wid 256 sd RAM, works fine wid that one too.

[pom]

Has everybody submitted?

[Jasninder]

can we wait for noxious, he said "i am back on Monday, that is, June 16th, and POM, can we adjust the due date on Monday (16th) so i can submit my entry tooo? ..pleaaasee? (if that's ok with you guys) "

so can we plz wait til monday nite or start this on tuesday morning?

[pom]

[replode]

Voetsjoeba, your bg came from Digitalblasphemy, didn't it?

[Voetsjoeba]

Yup :)

[replode]

i love that site. some of the backgrounds are amazing.

[comicGeek]

Flasher: visit my site for free wallpapers and free source files!

[Voetsjoeba]

Have a look at www.cognitivedistortion.com too.

[Jasninder]

cool man, i have already enjoyed ur site, but i was talkin about the one u have as ur entry,is this one there too?. Hey repload, that's a great looking footer, u shud have enterd it into the footer contest and Voetsjoeba, beautiful link man, thanx =)
Thanx guys

[replode]

yeah, but i made it after the contest ended.:( allwell, there will be another day. the second link was really cool too.

[comicGeek]

Flasher: yeah it's there

[Jasninder]

i think nox is busy these days, i better call pom to close this thread and make it a poll, lets have results.;)

[SBV]

I can enter.. Can i not?


http://www.frailart.net/members/sbv/Cube.jpg

I dont like icons or startbar.. :D

[Jasninder]

dude, u got it all wrong this is a screenshot battle, not the wallpaper battle, u have to add icons a proper screen shot....

[noxious]

jaz i think SBV's entry is ok.. maybe he prefers to hides his toolbars and icons (if i was not wrong) ..and yeah! we are good to go now! :thumb:

[Jasninder]

kool then, i have im'ed pom about making it a poll.
He's gona b here soon. =)
