Every off topic forum has a post your desktop thread, so I thought I'd get the ball rolling with a tribute to simracing -

Just confirms how horrid rF looks in my opinion. Muse be extra horrible not being able to escape it when you exit rF, and actually have to see it on the desktop too. Poor you.

You're crazy- rF blows most any sim away.. I mean if you are comparing it to LFS, LFS doesn't even have dynamic shadows.. although LFS does look really good, I can say that.

That screen I took looks different every 5 minutes in the game, drastically different nearing sunset or sunrise, and of course, dynamically changing into night, and the daytime again..

Of course rF is completely mod-able so NEW cars and models come out, with higher resolution than stock cars, also new tracks, higher res track textures, etc, etc, etc..

If you don't have the game, you can't talk, I have both.

I guess of course if you like octagon wheels LFS is your thing.. HAHA..

My current-

EDIT
Just a comparison of that first shot-

Different time of day- different look..

(un-edited)

(and that is a completely built-from-scratch add-on track)

EDIT- I just don't see how people can say that looks horrible... I am an artist.. and have an eye for things that look good, at least to me..

I think the GFX in both games are great, in different ways.

As some people posted before I've started using Litestep. So much better than windows, the graphics are .png based (unlike XP's stupid .bmps) and some themes like the one I posted bellow use no graphics at all. Doesn't have to be minimal, that's just the way I like it. The great thing about Litestep is that it's nearly all done using text files.

:: l i t e s t e p . n e t ::

This system shell is only 2kb, no graphics, much much faster than the windows shell.

Don't know where I got the desktop from, I cut it down to the widescreen look, how I set all my desks and the black background is added to the image so I can just select it from my folder full of wallpaper and it sets right even when strech is selected. Attached a few of my favourite wallpapers
