Decided to do it old school on my OS X partition this month:

That's 10.7.3, by the way.

I used a picture I've taken myself as a wallpaper for this month.

How did you curve your Menu bar?

It's not? It's just your eyes playing tricks on you:



Compare straight line and menu bar - definitely parallel.

I think he's talking about the topmost corners of the menu bar, which if you look very close, they are curved like how it was in classic Mac OS.

Indeed I was looking at the Corners. The last time I've ever saw that was Tiger. I think Apple should take that old look back into consideration. IMO

I use Displaperture to achieve that effect: http://manytricks.com/displaperture/

My desktop, some Tokyo picture, quite nice looks good on a big screen. I use the smaller laptop screen for running TVCatchup (Live UK TV) with media centre.

My MacOS desktop is a bit of retro (after all, it's not much more than a polished-up NeXT, isn't it?)

Epicsause.

** Note Blizz and DBlake

Installed Windows 8 build 8102 in a VM with EFI support.

Desktop is a custom-taken picture from a few days ago.

(Flaky's so cute!)

Windows NT5 build 1515, which is one of my favorite NT5 builds. Video driver installed and works perfectly, and I can't get sound to work yet. Network drivers also work, but the default TCP/IP protocol drivers are faulty, and I should use ones from NT4. But for now, here it is:

Scootaloooooo!

So I decided to reinstall OS X Snow Leopard on my Hackintosh. I was sick and tired of the crappy Intel GMA support I used. Screen tearing, various kernel panics, you know...
I'm now using the DSDT method for my GMA 950, which is much better - FileZilla (one of the apps that did the screen tearing, and one of the WORST) no longer leaves artifacts from the cursor (or "mouse turds") meaning I can easily download anything I want from BetaArchive without being irritated!
However I'm not changing many of the settings until I successfully upgrade to 10.6.7.

OK, another one. Just uploaded that one to beta.windowmaker.org (hey, another beta!), and will also gladly share it here:



It's WIndowMaker on Linux, I configured it to something between NeXT retro (window borders, dock etc.) and a nice background image, which I took from one of the themes on http://lonelymachines.org/windowmaker-themes/pastoral-themes/.

Continuing my habit of changing my wallpaper at roughly halfway through the month...

Updated

Netbook:

Mine:

Server:

Ugh, Server 2003.

Updated, I have my second monitor unplugged atm:


Updated yet again with my laptop's backround,

If you don't like Windows Server 2003, is it possible to upgrade to a newer version of Windows (Server counterpart)? Surely, you could either install the latest Release Candidate or pre-RTM version of such, and convert it to a Service Pack release using maxtorix's procedure, or even install Windows Server 8, if you can't purchase your own copy of Windows.

That's what I would do if I was in such a situation, however, if you're concerned that an upgrade might somehow damage your Windows installation, I understand.
