Show off your vintage desktops!

[Jovan]

Show off your vintage style wallpapers, themes, screen savers etc. Doesn't matter if it's Windows or Mac OS. (And please keep it civil regarding those OSes, especially Vista!)

I'll start with mine. My desktop weighs in at 1280x1024, so Photobucket needed to scale it down a bit.

Unseen is the silver trim scheme I'm using that gives it a bit of a '50s vibe.

Hey, what's your DOD name?

TV in 1938

From the New York Daily Mirror color supplement, via www.tvhistory.tv.
NBC was broadcasting then, but sending out warnings that the programs might be stopped at any time - to discourage people from building their own receivers and snooping on the experiments!
Gotta love the dummy - her swimsuit said RCA and NBC on it.
Also note the belt-back suit on the cameraman. Don't envy his job too much - they needed so much light to get a decent picture back then that he had to work in temperatures topping 120¬?...

I don't have a vintage desktop at the moment, but I'm glad you brought this up because what I've been looking for is a desktop that resembles a vintage desk top. In other words, something that looks like, I dunno, Sam Spade's desk or something. Just thought it might be neat to have.

So if anyone knows of such a thing...

Mine's nothing fancy, but it's a very favorite of mine.
It makes me feel hopeful.

Hey, what's your DOD name?

Why do you ask? Did I encounter you on a server once?

 

[Phil]

No, but I'd like to play either with or against you in DOD.

 

[Jovan]

Well my Steam name is jovantheun1337, if you ever want to look me up. I rarely play Source, I actually enjoy DoD classic more.

My desktop.

Its from a print I did (one in a series) of obviously Blackface images. That type of art has always been of great,slightly obsessive interest to me. I have this image on my desktop and my Powerbook.

It's a WWII war game, Day of Defeat.

Day of Defeat, a game set in the European theatre of WWII. He saw I had the icon for it on my desktop.
