Graal Online Desktop

Redwizard · #1 06-20-2005, 03:53 PM

As the topic suggests. Please rate. I made a mixed collage of different screen shots.

AlexH · #2 06-20-2005, 03:59 PM

I'm not to keen on it. Seems very cluttered and messy to me.
Mind you I always have had pretty plain backgrounds and right now I only have four icons on my desktop. I like it to look neat.

Its a rather interesting idea, the collage of images probably has meaning to you, and just by looking around your desktop, I bet you'd find many interesting things with a interesting story behind it.

a lot of the screenshots are from the early days of graal, and several are from when graal was only one server. the older ones are more faded than the newer ones, to show that they may wither with age but will never vanish. Those memories were the best

messy, cluttered, pfft :[

Makes my eyes hurt.

Hiro · #7 06-20-2005, 07:30 PM

Looks cool, except you have so many desktop icons.

Splke · #8 06-21-2005, 12:06 AM

Get rid of your icnos man.. that **** would look tight; cept you can't see behind the icons. =[

Post the image by its self?
Although I'd imagine it would still look quite cluttered and unorganised.

Splke · #10 06-21-2005, 12:12 AM

Yeah, but with some work and some photoshop, you could get some real nostalgia going on mang.

Gambet · #11 06-21-2005, 12:17 AM

Looks a bit unorganized/messy.

Much too hard on the eyes. Try using some brightness/contrast to dim it down a bit. It's just way too busy for a desktop wallpaper. My eyes are strained by all of the images. It's a very good idea though and has intrigued me to create one of my own.

Hiro · #13 06-21-2005, 01:50 AM

Red, you have one row of "New Folder" spamming your desktop.

Curt1zzle · #14 06-21-2005, 06:22 AM

One word:

Headache.

NefariousPK · #15 06-21-2005, 06:58 AM

ITS HORRIBLE ! HIDEOUS! YOUR FIRED!
im jp it's okay but clean up the desktop man make a folder or something for it

Evil_Trunks · #16 06-21-2005, 07:06 AM

that's an ugly collage

lol my desktop is kinda cluttered i agree... I have to organise all my work, in the past 4 years i've been hoarding exactly "12,052" graphic files that i have made.. excluding webgif/head/shield etc. folders in graal. They are everywhere.. Yes well an idea i had was to create a new raster layer under it, and set the background as it is now to a certain alpha value so it is kinda transparent, and possibly then get some better images which moreso describe graals theme than its gaming content, and with some adjustments to the brightness and other such options, it should look rather presentable.
by the way, it is not meant to look neat and tidy; graphics is creativity, and what you can make with it. In the same way some people like blue, others will prefer red, so the point i am saying is that not every body will be itnrigued by it, but as long as one or two like it, i know that creating it was worth it.
:-) Thanks for all the criticism, i haven't had much of it to do with my work recently because people have been trolling instead, lol.
Criticism is the only way people can improve, so i thank you all who have posted your criticisms.

The background needs to be simple.

EmpireOwnsYou · #19 06-21-2005, 02:29 PM

The blur really hurts the eyes, if it had like 6-10 boxes showing images of the game without the blur it'd look great.

maximus_asinus · #20 06-21-2005, 02:43 PM

Someone's saying boner. Haha.

xAndrewx · #21 06-21-2005, 05:57 PM

I agree, it hurts my eyes when I look at it. Make it simplistic instead of cluttered.

Zurkiba · #24 06-22-2005, 12:01 AM

I see Axel!

I wouldn't use it.

Your desktop is nice. Anyway, they should really make some desktops for us.
